By Shane Addinall Mar 27, 2020 Game ReleaseSail the treacherous seas in search of treasures and vessels to plunder. This quirky Pirate themed slot provides light-hearted gameplay with tremendous features, such as cluster wins, multipliers, and free spins.Ready the cannons for explosive action in Yggdrasil’s Pirates: Smuggler’s Paradise. In keeping with the premium of the game maker, you can be assured that this slot comes with great visuals, excellent sounds and engaging features. Bonuses include Cluster Wins, Dropdown Wins, Win Multipliers of up to 10x, and a Free Spin Bonus game. If you strike it lucky, you could look at hauling in the booty to the tune of 1,243x your stake, or a maximum default jackpot of €124,330 in cash.
Play the 5x5 reel set for as little as €0.20 per spin, or as much as €100. To reap the full benefit from this medium variance slot with a 96.3% RTP, you may want to increase those wagers as you go, as wins are multiplied against your wager to determine your payouts.
The game has no set paylines but instead works on a Cluster Pay engine. This means that winning combinations are formed when you land 6 or more identical symbols on adjacent positions to one another, either vertically or horizontally. Each symbol type comes with its set win values, which you can explore on the paytable.
Pirates Ahoy Maties!
Normally pirates are nasty people, but if you are looking for a dark and sinister pirate game, you won’t find it here. The cartoony design of the game and the quirky character designs provide a rather light-hearted gaming atmosphere which is even comical at times. The comedy is introduced through the crabby game host that stands to the side of the reels. His humorous actions on each spin are rather entertaining.
The game is set on a pirate ship. The hull of the ship provides a place for all the interface tools and controls, while the sails hold the reel set. The ship is docked in a cove where a tropical beach with thick vegetation provides the backdrop. The game feels action-packed, mostly thanks to the intense musical theme in play throughout the game. It sounds like something out of a ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ film. As you spin, the intensity of the tune picks up, as if to prepare you for an exciting win at any moment.
The game symbols are the magic tools that create each winning moment. They are comprised of 12 different symbols. The high payers are made up of 3 distinct pirate characters and a blue parrot. The medium pays are made up of pirate paraphernalia, such as a cutlass, flintlock pistol, a bottle of rum, and a hook. The low pays are made up of generic card deck symbols (hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs).
Trim the Sails, We’re in for a Storm of Features!
The life of a pirate comes with much action, as you’ll soon find out. Yggdrasil has added several engaging features into the mix to entertain you with.
✓Dropdown Wins
Each time a winning cluster is made on the reels, the combination in question will remain in place and the rest of the symbols on the grid will explode off the screen. The remaining combination will then fall to the bottom of the screen and new symbols will drop down from above to fill the reel again. The new dropdown could form more wins, in which case, the process will be repeated. Dropdowns cease when no new winning combinations can be made.
✓Multipliers
If you manage to fill entire rows with matching symbols you will be awarded win multipliers. In the base game, these multipliers will be added to each dropdown win separately and reset once the spin is over. The multipliers are awarded in the following manner:
- 1 row of matching symbols: Awards a 1x Multiplier
- 2 row of matching symbols: Awards a 2x Multiplier
- 3 row of matching symbols: Awards a 3x Multiplier
- 4 row of matching symbols: Awards a 5x Multiplier
- 5 row of matching symbols: Awards a whopping 10x Multiplier
✓Free Spin Mode
The free spin bonus round is the main feature in the game. To trigger 7 Free Spins, you will need to collect 3 Free Spin bonus symbols in the course of a spin (possibly over several dropdowns). Before the round starts you will get to choose one of three locations on a map. These locations each hold a distinct free spin mode:
- High Seas: All low paying symbols will be absent on all spins.
- Multiplier Madness: All multipliers accrued in the game will be added together at the top of the reels and applied to each spin during the feature.
- Win Fall: 2 Winning symbols are added at the start of each dropdown. To trigger the next dropdown, you will still need to land a new winning cluster.
Ho! Ho! Ho! and a Bundle of Fun!
If you are looking for a jovial old time on the reels and appreciate Pirate themed games, then this Yggdrasil slot is your match. There are plenty of features in the game to keep you busy and the medium variance setting of the slot ensures that you can win a range of wins, with BIG rewards a real possibility, especially in the free spin rounds.
