Lucky’s Wild Pub 2

The game borrows heavily from the original Lucky’s Wild Pub while quietly transplanting the core mechanics from Chests of Cai Shen 2, one of Pragmatic’s more divisive releases.

On paper, this is a high-volatility 5x3 slot with 25 paylines, a generous 96.5% RTP, and the popular three-pot modifier system that can stack up to three features in a single bonus. In practice, though, Lucky’s Wild Pub 2 struggles to justify its existence beyond repackaging a proven formula with an Irish pub theme.

Visually, Lucky’s Wild Pub 2 is almost indistinguishable from its predecessor. The cozy pub setting returns, complete with leprechaun regulars, warm lighting, and a cheerful bartender working behind the counter. The soundtrack leans heavily into upbeat Irish folk tunes, which are pleasant enough but very much expected.

The three pots hovering above the reels and the row of local prizes beneath them immediately signal what kind of game this is. If you’ve played even a handful of modern Pragmatic Play slots, you’ll know exactly where this is heading. The presentation is polished and friendly, but it doesn’t surprise or challenge in any meaningful way.

Lucky’s Wild Pub 2 uses a 5-reel, 3-row layout with 25 fixed paylines, paying left to right. Stakes range from CA$0.205 to CA$250 per spin, making it accessible to both casual players and high rollers.

The game runs on a high-volatility math model, so while the base game can feel dry at times, the bonus rounds are designed to carry most of the win potential. The maximum RTP of 96.5% applies when playing normally or when using the feature buys.

Low-Paying Symbols

• Card ranks (10 to Ace): pay 0.6x–1.2x for five of a kind

Mid to High-Paying Symbols

• Bread, harps, female bartender, beer glasses, and leprechaun characters
• Pay 1.2x–2x for five of a kind

Wild symbols appear on reels 2–5 and substitute for all symbols except bonus coins and money symbols.

Base game wins are serviceable but rarely exciting. Like most Pragmatic titles of this type, the real action is locked firmly behind the bonus features.

At the heart of Lucky’s Wild Pub 2 are three coloured bonus coins, each linked to a modifier and collected by its matching pot.

Purple Coin – Multiplier Zone

Triggers Pot Respins with Multiplier Zones.
Four zones highlight areas of the grid, each assigned a random multiplier ranging from x2 to x100. When zones fill with money symbols, their values are multiplied accordingly.

Red Coin – Doublin’ Modifier

Activates Pot Respins played across two 5x3 grids simultaneously. Triggering coins convert into money symbols on both grids, increasing coverage and potential.

Green Coin – Life Modifier

Adds extra respins, increasing the total from three to four.

Coins are collected at the end of a spin, and if Pot Respins trigger, one, two, or all three modifiers may activate together.

Once triggered, Pot Respins award three respins (or four with the Life modifier). Only money symbols, prize values, or blanks can land.

Money symbols:

• Fixed values from 0.6x to 30x
• Jackpot prizes:
• Mini: 10x
• Minor: 20x
• Major: 150x

Money symbols are sticky and reset the respin counter when they land. Filling the entire grid awards the Grand Jackpot worth 5,000x the stake, which is the game’s maximum win.

If you don’t want to wait for the pots to align naturally, Pragmatic offers two buy options:

• 100x Bet: Pot Respins with Multiplier Zone, with up to two additional modifiers possible
• 500x Bet: Same as above, but one Multiplier Zone is guaranteed to be x100

While the higher buy increases excitement, it also highlights how dependent the game is on extreme multiplier luck.
