Rich Pirates

Rich Pirates Review

This online slot from 2020 takes place across 5 reels, 3 rows and 15 paylines, and it has a very nice twist to its free spins!

Before we get to those, though, we have to run through a few other details. First, it’s fair to say that the audiovisual presentation of Rich Pirates is only average. There are enough thematic symbols, no doubt, and it’s also easy to fancy how colorful everything is. On the other hand, the symbols look a bit rough in a few places, and it just doesn’t work all that well as a whole.

Mathematically speaking, Rich Pirates is a medium volatility slot with a decent 18.12% hit frequency. Its “official” jackpot is 400x, but we are pretty sure that you can get well above that in practice. The least that you can play for is then £0.20 per spin, while high rollers can utilize the classic £100 max bet. As for Rich Pirates’ theoretical RTP, it’s worth stressing that the game comes with RTP ranges, and that its actual RTP value can be between 88% and 98%. Its default RTP value, though, is 96%, which is perfectly average.

Rich Pirates Slot Features

There are 9 pay symbols in Rich Pirates, and they are divided into 4 card ranks and 5 thematic symbols. The card ranks go from Jacks to Aces, and they can pay you up to 3x your bet for a five-of-a-kind combination. Then, there are treasure maps, cannons, treasure chests, female pirates, and pirate captains. As you’d expect, pirate captains are worth the most, and you’ll get a sweet 50x payout if you manage to line up five of them on a payline.

In addition to pay symbols, there are also Skull Wilds and Compass Scatters. Skull Wilds can substitute for other symbols to help you complete winning combos, and they also have payout values of their own. Land 5 on a payline, and you’ll win 100x your bet!

Compass Scatters, meanwhile, are there to trigger the Free Spins feature. For that to happen, you have to land 3 Compass Scatters on reels 3, 4 and 5.

Before free spins begin, you’ll actually go through a small pick’em bonus game that will allow you to collect extra free spins and win multipliers. You’ll get to open treasure chests, and free spins will start only once you hit the Start symbol. The least that you can get are 10 free spins with a 2x win multiplier, but you can get as many as 25 free spins with a 5x win multiplier in the ideal case!

Players that aren’t afraid of taking risks can then also try their luck at the Gamble feature, which is all about guessing the color of the next revealed card. Guess right, and you’ll double your payout. Guess wrong, on the other hand, and you’ll have to start all over again.

Review Summary

Ultimately, Rich Pirates is a decent mid-range pirate slot that doesn’t overstay its welcome, and that will most likely please you with its free spins with win multipliers. It’s nothing extraordinary, but, if you want to spend a while with a simple-to-play pirate slot, this one is by no means a bad choice!
