Like ancient Egypt, safaris, or beardy weirdy Vikings, if there’s one theme slots developers pull off well, it’s pirates.
If you’ve ever tried the simplistic charms of Play 'n' Go's adventure slot, Jolly Roger, or the lush graphics and style of Betsoft Gaming's 3D Barbary Coast slot, and have been left hankering for more, make sure you (keel) haul your ass over to a casino offering Barcrest’s Captain Jackpot’s Cash Ahoy!, as it ticks all the pirate boxes and offers some pretty top booty special bonuses too.
A 5 reel, 20 pay-line slot, with a massive range of betting on offer, from $0.25 to $500 a spin, it certainly caters for scurvy sea dogs of all pockets. And if you’re into bonus rounds, luckily Captain Jackpot offers more bonuses than a raid on a Spanish galleon.
Despite the well-worn pirate theme, the overall feel of the game is colorful with some nice sound FX and animation. The only real symbols of note are the bonus Scatters, such as the treasure chest, pirate ship and Captain symbol, plus the Skull ‘n’ Crossbones flag and some regular 10-through-Ace symbols.
The Wild is the Skull ‘n’ Crossbones flag, and substitutes for all symbols other than the Bonus Scatters, of which there are three, each triggering a different bonus game.
Similar to the Pots of Gold feature in that Barcrest showpiece slot, Rainbow Riches, the best bonus is triggered by three or more Captain Jackpot symbols on the reels anywhere. This will activate the bonus round where gold, silver and bronze pots spin across the screen. When they come to a stop, an arrow will point to one of the pots. The value of the pot is multiplied by the total stake. The maximum prize available is 500x the total stake, so it really pays to land this feature.
Elsewhere there’s a straight bonus feature, activated by hitting three or more Treasure Chest symbols appear anywhere on the reels. Simply a bonus cash prize bonus, you can receive up to 500x your bet. Finally, hit three Pirate Ship Scatters anywhere on the reels and you will activate the final bonus round.
Essentially a ‘Pick Em Bonus’ type game, just click on one of the various pirate ships on show to reveal a cash prize. Again, a whopping 500x stake prize could be yours.
Bonus rounds can be decidedly ‘meh’ when it comes to slots, and a missing free spins round aside, Captain Jackpot really delivers the booty. Now, walk the plank over to your friendly online casino and get spinning.
