Slot Review: Pirates Treasure Hunt
Arrrr, me
hearties! Are ye ready to sail the high seas for a shot at some
booty? Who doesn’t love a pirate? Scurvy knaves who ought to be made
to walk the plank, that’s who! If you loved the Disney Pirates of
the Caribbean movies (starring Johnny Depp as the inimitable Captain
Jack Sparrow), have always dreamed of taking a ship out to the deep
blue ocean to search for sunken treasure, or simply fancy the
aesthetics of eye patches and shoulder-riding parrots, then you
might just get a kick out of Pirates Treasure Hunt, a great new
online slot game that offers plenty of nautical adventure and the
chance to win a captain’s random in treasure all for yourself!
Pirates Treasure is a slot machine title available on the World Wide
Web, produced by SkillonNet, a lesser-known casino software
provider. Coin values are modest and geared at players with smaller
bankrolls, starting at one cent on the low end and ranging upwards
to one dollar on the high end. With max coins set at a value of
twenty (one per payline), that makes the highest per-spin wager one
of just twenty dollars. The jackpot is anything but modest at five
thousand coins! That makes the top prize one of five thousand
dollars on a maxed-out bet, with plenty of opportunities to multiply
your winnings! There is a free practice mode for those who like to
“try” before they “buy.”
The look of this game is very adventurous, with the reels depicted
on what looks like a vivid painting of a schooner in full sail on a
storm-tossed sea. There is a knotted rope motif that perfectly
compliments the theme, as do the predominant colors of tan and blue.
The symbols on the reels are all very descriptive and well-drawn,
ranging from jugs of ale and periscopes to pirate hooks, tri-corner
hats, and the pirate flag. There are more than thirty winning
combinations to be had in this game!
The gun is the wild symbol for this online slot, which means that it
can stand in for any other icon on the reels in a winning
combination with the exception of the scatter logo. The scatter
symbol for this game is simply a “scatter” icon, and it is the
picture you’ll have to look for if you want a chance at this game’s
awesome free spins feature! Get at least three on screen during one
spin to be awarded twenty free spins with a double multiplier
awarded by a cockeyed parrot! The bonus symbol is the treasure chest
spilling over with a wealth of golden coins. Each one of these
symbols that appears on the screen during a given spin will allow
you to collect fifty points!
The points on the bottom of the screen (that you win with the bonus
treasure chests) build up towards the one thousand mark and the
point where you trigger the Pirates Treasure Hunt bonus game. This
second-screen bonus game contains three stages. You will be behind
the helm of a sailing ship, needing to guess which island holds the
treasure. If you are correct, you will win the biggest prize and
progress towards the next island. If not, the game will end and you
will collect a smaller prize instead.
