Mention the word ‘pirate’ and most people will immediately think of treasure (some will think of the poor treatment of the parrots, but they’re not the kind of people who are any fun at parties). With Pirate Gold, a new slot from Pragmatic Play, you can live out your pirate dreams and sail the high seas in search of the 1,000x grand jackpot that could see you hanging up your cutlass and retiring to a much more leisurely life. Let’s see how to go about it.

Take the Wheel

Pirate Gold is a 5-reel, 40-payline slot that is crying out for a big win – after all, pirates don’t tend to do things by halves. You can get started by setting the number of coins you want to wager per line between one and 10 coins. Next, you need to manage the value of each coin below the coin number, which you can do by clicking on the plus and minus signs beside the spin button. Once you’ve chosen the coins value you can get spinning.

Big Winners on the Starboard Bow!

Landing at least three matching symbols on any of the paylines will get you a slice of the booty, but only if the winning row starts from the leftmost reel and runs from left to right. The biggest payout can be achieved by landing five pirate captains at the maximum bet, but there are plenty of other ways to increase this win to something quite spectacular:

• Wild – This is the treasure chest and it substitutes for all symbols to create a winning combination. However, it does not substitute for the bonus and the money symbols.
• Bonus – This is the ship’s compass and will guarantee a payout of 1x your total bet if you land three of them. On top of this you’ll also get 10 free spins.
• Free Spins – This round can make the captain and his mate a wild symbol. They will transform into wilds and function as such.
• Lucky Treasure Bag – The money bags from the triggering spin will be held while three respins occur. During the respins you’ll see only blank spaces, multipliers, money bags, or respin symbols, and landing a money bag will reset the respins. Once the round is complete, all the cash amounts will be added together to form your total win.

If you landed a multiplier during this round your win will be increased by it. Here you can also land the minor or major jackpots, worth 50 and 200 times your stake respectively, but what you’re really after is the Grand Jackpot, worth a mouthwatering 1000x your stake!

Bring Home the Booty!

Pirate Gold is a great slot, not just because of its huge payout potential but also as an experience – the shifting seas, the bobbing ships, and the scudding clouds combine with the atmospheric music to create a slot that is right at home on the big screen. Having said that, Pirate Gold is just as easy to play on a tablet or mobile, where the wins, and the experience, will be just as big! So why not try it out at BitStarz today?
