Nailed It! Games, a renowned global exclusive studio, has introduced their latest thrilling release, Riptide Pirates™. This new game offers players an engaging high-seas adventure, complete with an interactive battleship bonus round.
Pieces of eight
In Riptide Pirates™, players are tasked with matching crewmates, anchors, and compasses across the game’s 25 paylines. This combination triggers the Riptide Wild Stacks and the Pirate bonus, which can lead to impressive wins of up to 5,000x the initial bet.
Riptide Wild Stacks
One of the standout features of the game is the ability to flood the reels with walking Riptide Wild Stacks. By collecting Riptide symbols at the bottom of each reel, players can turn the entire reel wild. The wild reel then moves from left to right, creating winning combinations along the way.
During base gameplay, any Pirate Bonus symbols that appear on the reels are automatically collected. These symbols contribute to the Bonus Booster progress bar by awarding additional cannons.
Pirate bonus
The Pirate bonus is an innovative feature that activates when three Pirate bonus symbols land anywhere on the reels. This triggers a battle on a 10×10 grid, with up to four active cannons. Each cannon has three chances to hit enemy ships of varying sizes. Hitting treasure chests during the battle awards a bonus modifier, while sinking small boats results in a multiplier win.
Sinking galleons is even more rewarding, as it triggers one of four lucrative local jackpots. Riptide Pirates™ continues the tradition of Nailed It! Games, known for their feature-rich and mechanically ingenious games.
The studio has already produced popular titles like Cosmic Moon™, Rome Supermatch, and Rainbow Burst™. With its immersive high-seas adventure, interactive battleship bonus round, and the potential for substantial wins, Riptide Pirates™ promises to captivate players and further establish Nailed It! Games as a leading force in the gaming industry.
Andy Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, said: “The Pirate Bonus offers truly unique gameplay that sees traditional gameplay scrapped in favour of high-stakes ship battles with game-boosting modifiers. We are truly excited to see what treasures players uncover whilst enjoying this headline release.”
“If there’s one thing we love at Games Global, it’s games that stand out from the crowd, and there’s no doubt that Riptide Pirates™ will fall into this category with its innovative bonus round. We thoroughly expect operators and players to love this innovative new title.”
Gamingslots review
Summary
Riptide Pirates has given us a rather colourful yet juvenile game but there's plenty going on over the 25 lines here. The wandering Wild repsin reels are triggered by collecting single Wilds totalled according to the reel number, something borrowed from the old Untamed Panda slot series. As this is a frequent event, wins are plentiful in the base play with Nailed it! Games having come up with a quite novel bonus round. Once triggered, you fire cannon over a grid containing cash, multipliers, upgrades and static jackpots for sinking ships. If you get more cannon via the in-play bonus booster, the chances of big wins are better.
