WAYS TO WIN
BONUSES
- Wild: The substituting symbol is represented by the compass icon. Upon landing on the reels (on the extra reel only), the compass points to a random direction either North, South, West or East. The direction that the compass points at will receive random bird wilds. The bird wilds substitute for all regular symbols except the scatter and wild compass.
- Scatter: Players encounter two scatters when playing this slot which are the regular gold chest scatter and the purple chest megascatter.
- Extra Reel: Pirate Pays Megaways comes with an extra reel which appears below reels two, three, four and five.
- Reactions: Reactions make it possible for players playing the Pirate Pays Megaways to land consecutive win lines. This is necessitated by the fact that after pays are awarded for the previous win line, the winning symbols disappear paving the way for new regular symbols to fill the vacant positions. The game evaluates new win lines after this hence making it possible for new successive win lines to emerge. Players ought to note that all regular symbols except the scatter can be part of the reactions.
- Kraken Bonus Round: For landing at least three regular gold chest scatters, players activate the Kraken Bonus Round. As soon as the bonus round activates, twenty different free spin options are presented. If the feature was triggered by four or more scatters, the lowest free spin option is removed for each scatter beyond the third. Afterwards, the canon randomly removes five free spin options. From those that remain, one option is presented to the player. The player has the discretion of accepting or rejecting the awarded free spin option. Another option will then be granted and the player also has the discretion of accepting or rejecting it. This can continue until only two options remain at which point the player will be tasked with picking at random one of two chests to determine the final free spin option to be awarded.
- Enhanced Bonus Round: If players land at least three scatters including the purple chest megascatter, the Enhanced Bonus Round activates. In the event that players trigger the Enhanced Bonus Round, 20 free spin options are also presented but 10 of the lowest value are immediately removed. Afterwards, players can then accept or reject the awarded free spin option as is the case with the Kraken Bonus Round.
CLOSING
Overall this is a good Pirate themed slot with some fun bonuses and one of the better releases from Big Time Gaming.
