Jolly Roger (Play'n Go)

Jolly Roger Review

Pirate themed slots are common. Jolly Roger feels like an early video slot. It is entertaining, though lacks the finesse and quality of graphics which you might be used to from later titles. Having said that, this game is nicely put together, and is worth a spin or two. There are two bonus rounds to enjoy and wilds + scatters to keep the wins coming in from regular play.

There is a contradiction between the sounds and the visuals with this game. The reels are made to sound mechanical, with the clicking noise as they spin and land. At the same time, the slot itself is very much a video-based title, not attempting to recreate the mechanical look at all. The symbols are bright and clear, and the animations are basic – for example the swords crossing. Each win has a sound effect with it too. The cannons fire, and the gold coins play you a calypso tune. When you hit the bonus games there are some animations and break out screens. Once again these are basic.

Both of the bonuses are pick-em games. Of the two, the chest bonus has the most potential for bigger wins – though your mileage will of course vary.
