Pirate Kingdom: Theme and Appearance

As you'd expect, Pirate Kingdom Megaways comes with a pirate theme. Behind the reels, you'll see a pirate ship and barrels floating in the chopping sea. The reels are filled with A, K, Q, J and 10 royals as the low payers, while treasure chests, a male pirate, ship wheels and the pirate captain make up the high payers. The latter is the most rewarding, paying 25x your stake for matching 6 on a payline.

The wild is represented by 2 pistols and replaces all simples bar the scatter. During the base game, the wild appears on all reels except the first. The game also benefits from a 2x wild symbol that appears on reels 2-6. If you land 2 or more on a single spin, the multiplier values are combined to increase your payout. This means that landing 2 of the symbols will give you a 4x multiplier and landing 3 will boost your payout by 8 times. Like the standard wild, the x2 wild replaces all symbols to help form a winning combination.

Betting and Prizes

As Pirate Kingdom is a MegaWays slot, each reel has between 2 and 7 symbols. This number will vary throughout the game. The more symbols per reel, the higher your chances of winning. Playing with 7 symbols on each reel will give you the maximum 117,649 ways to win.

The betting range of this slot is between 20p and £20 per spin. Your bet value does not affect the number of potential ways to win – this remains the same regardless of whether you're playing with 20p or £20.

With maximum rewards of 10,000x your stake, Pirate Kingdom MegaWays certainly has decent winning potential. If you're playing with the maximum wager, this can mean a jackpot of £200,000. The RTP is set at 96.20%, which is just above average for this type of slot.

Pirate Kingdom Slot Features

Like most slots, Pirate Kingdom MegaWays comes with various bonus features including Tumbling Reels and Free Spins. Below, we explore these in more detail.

Tumbling Reels Feature

The Tumbling Reels feature is triggered whenever you form a winning combination. The winning symbols then disappear, and new ones drop into their place. This can lead to another winning combination if luck is on your side. The feature continues until no new wins are formed.

Free Spins Feature

Four consecutive tumbles will trigger the Free Spins round. You'll start the feature with 8 free spins, with each additional tumble giving you 2 more, up to a maximum of 14. This means you can play with 22 free spins in total.

During the Free Spins round, any reel with 7 symbols will lock to increase your chances of winning. Better still, each locked reel increases the game's multiplier by 1x. You can win additional free spins by getting consecutive wins during the round. There is no limit to the number of free spins you can win, which is great.

Buy Free Spins Feature

The final feature is the Buy Free Spins feature. This allows you to pay a certain amount to play the Free Spins round without activating it. You can choose to start with 6, 8 or 10 free spins which will set you back 30, 50 or 90 times your stake. You can also opt for locked reels, which will cost you 40, 80 or 130 times your stake, depending on how many free spins you're playing with.

Verdict

Pirate Kingdom MegaWays is another great release by Iron Dog Studios. Variance-wise, the slot is high. This makes it best suited to those who enjoy the high risk/high reward set up. The key to winning big is to bag a few locked reels to increase the multiplier and the number of MegaWays. If luck is on your side, you could win up to 40,000 times your stake per spin. If you're a fan of the pirate theme and you're looking for a MegaWays title, Pirate Kingdom MegaWays is well worth checking out.
