Pirateplay Bonanza review

Theme and Style

Pirateplay Bonanza is a high-seas adventure with a pirate captain and his crew of scurvy seadogs.

The world of Pirateplay Bonanza is lighthearted and cartoonish, allowing players to live out their childhood fantasies of hunting for treasure in the golden age of piracy without the risk to life and limb that would come with a real ocean voyage.

This slot will appeal to anyone who sided with Captain Hook in Peter Pan or Long John Silver in Treasure Island.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

This slot has an exaggerated style that leans into classic children's story versions of pirates with an added steampunk twist to the design.

The style on the reels is a little different from the background with one taking a more realistic approach and the other a more cartoonish one. This mismatch doesn’t hurt the worldbuilding too much though.

However, when all combined, the art, sound design, and animation do manage to create an intriguing if a little uneven world for the player to explore.

Gameplay

Pirateplay Bonanza is a six-reel, five-row slot with an anyway-wins system. Unlike with win line games, the location on each reel doesn’t matter. The anyway-wins system means that the player wins whenever they land a long enough sequence of matching symbols anywhere on consecutive reels starting from the left.

The maximum win on any given round is capped at 10,000x the player’s bet.

Wilds, Bonuses and Free Spins

The Wild symbol can be used to complete winning combinations with all the normal symbols. The Wild does not substitute for Scatters or Multiplier symbols.

The Scatter pays for combinations from any position, even if the reels are not sequential or start from a reel that is not Reel One.

Landing four or more Scatters anywhere on the reels triggers the Free Spin Bonus.

The player gets 10 free spins for four Scatters, 20 for five, and 30 for six.

During the Free Spin Bonus, the player can land Multiplier symbols that apply a randomized multiplier of between 2x and 100x to the win amount.

Bet Sizes, RTP and Variance

The return to player (RTP) of Pirateplay Bonanza is 95.97%, a nice number that is roughly our yardstick for average of roughly 96%.

The range of bets on the site we tested was pretty typical, running from a minimum bet per spin of $/£/€0.10 up to a maximum of $/£/€100 per spin.

Pirateplay Bonanza is a high-volatility slot making it a great match for our preferred slot machine strategies.

Conclusion

We enjoy Pirateplay Bonanza’s mix of decent RTP, high volatility, and the high seas.

The oceangoing theme should fill the hearts of everyone who wanted to be a swashbuckler as a child and the gameplay is solid and enjoyable with entertaining bonus features.

We recommend this slot, especially if you enjoy the idea of setting out for parts unknown aboard an old wooden ship.
