No Rum But Plenty Of Fun
Quickspin's Skulls Up video slot is played out on a sandy beach in the Caribbean seas, where slowly waving palm leaves create a shaded recess for the treasure chest and the slot reels it contains.
In keeping with high seas pirate theme of the casino game, the reels are filled with naughty nautical characters. The high-value symbols comprise a selection of pirates and shipmates, as well as a bangle wearing monkey and a cheeky blue parrot.
The low-value symbols are gold coins from the captain’s treasure chest. Each coin will be decorated with A, K, Q, J or 10 symbols.
The reels will also contain two Wild symbols, either a plain Skull or a Flaming Skull. Each of these will have a different impact on the reels and your winnings. Last but least there is a special Treasure Chest symbol that acts as the trigger for the Free Spins feature.
X Marks The Feature
Skulls Up has a customs game grid that starts as a standard 5-reel 3-row layout with 243 ways to win. However, as you progress through the games you will unlock an additional 9 symbols which reside above reels 2-4, making it possible to spin on a 3,6,6,6,3 grid with up to 1944 ways to win!

✓Flaming Free Spin
Lock your sights on 3 Treasure Chest symbols during a single round and you will be rewarded with access to 6 Flaming Free Spins.
