Five Pirates Slot

Five Pirates is an online slot game by software developer Lightning Box Games. As you can tell from the title already, the game focuses on pirates and all things ‘piraty’. For example, as you will notice in the backdrop, which actually depicts the deck of a pirate ship, just below the reels there are piles and piles and looted treasure. Whole chests and bags of gold and other riches fills the screen, and behind them you can make out the iron canons. And far beyond the horizon you can see the endless blue sea extending, paving the way for the pirate ship to continue its journey. You will also be sure to notice that the graphics in this online slot game are quite dated. Nevertheless, the backdrop along with the symbols on the reels still manages to create a rather compelling atmosphere of adventure and excitement. There isn’t a thematic soundtrack to accompany gameplay, though.

Ahoy, me hearties!

For being a rather dated looking slot game, the setup and layout are really quite innovative. For one, the layout here is actually slightly different from what most contemporary slot games have to offer. Instead of the regular grid of 5 reels by 3 rows, there are still the 5 reels, only with 4 rows. And in addition to that, there are also a staggering 1024 ways to win! That’s also not all too common. Obviously, players won’t have the option of altering the number of paylines. So the available number of ways to win is fixed. With that in mind, stakes here are fairly moderate as well. They start at the minimum of only 40c per single spin. And the total maximum amount you will be able to wager on these reels is $50 per spin. Now let’s have a bit of a closer look at the game’s symbols.

First in line are the lower value playing card symbols. Traditionally, each comes in a different color and each comes with a small pirate icon to mark its affiliation with the theme. They include the symbols A,K, Q, J, 10 and 9. Moving on to the slightly more valuable symbols, we have a canon and a colorful parrot. Then there’s a treasure map, with a knife marking the spot where the bounty is buried. In the same value category there’s also a treasure chest. And then last but not least, there’s a gold coin with a skull and two crossed swords, worth up to 500 coins. The pirate symbol is the game’s Wild and will be able to replace any of the other symbols to help form winning combos. The only exception to that rule is the game’s Scatter. However, it doesn’t offer any payout of its own. And it can only land on reels 2 and 4.

Yo-ho-ho and a barrel of rum

The Scatter symbol actually depicts a lady pirate and is also the game’s most lucrative symbol. Unlike the Wild, the Scatter can actually land in any position, anywhere on the reels. But in order for you to trigger this game’s Barrel Bonus feature, you will need to land at least 3 Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels during the same spin. Once you have activated the feature, you will still need to prepare for it, before it can begin. And by that we mean that you will first need to choose the exact freespins mode you would like to play. There are five possibilities, each of which will offer you up to a certain number of freespins, and up to a certain multiplier value to go with them. The most freespins you can count on is 15, whereas the highest multiplier value available is also 15x. Needless to say, the higher a multiplier you want, the less freespins you will be able to count on. Now after you have chosen your desired mode, you will have a screen of barrel in front of you. Pick one from the highlighted row and it will either reveal your prize or bump you up a level. After that you can proceed to the next screen for the freespins. In addition, you can also retrigger the freespins bonus round, which is also great. Just be on the lookout for another 3, 4 or 5 Scatter symbols landing at the same time.

Similar slots to Five Pirates

There are plenty of pirate themed online slot games out there. So, if you would like to try something else in the same genre, there’s no shortage of options. For one, you can try Red Lady by software developer Novomatic. It’s not quite as rewarding as Five Pirates, but will still have freespins for you to benefit from. If, however, you’re looking for something with a closer setup, try Leagues of Fortune by Microgaming. This slot will be able to offer you just as many ways to win, high variance and exact same layout. In addition to that, you can also count on a minimum of 10 freespins with a 5x multiplier.

Five Pirates – Conclusion

Five Pirates may not be the most modern online slot in terms of its graphics, but that doesn’t make it any less appealing. It offers plenty of winning opportunities, as well as an entertaining bonus feature. Players have the option of selecting their desired freespins mode, which is great. And there’s an interactive pick-me game to set it in motion. Just beware of the game’s high variance, which may cast dry spells and try to eat away at your bankroll.
