Time to set sail to the Orient, where the Pirate of the East slot will invite you to chase all the hidden treasure within.
NetEntertainment love nothing more than to find new ways to entertain – it’s in their name. But what they’ve been trying to do in this Pirate of the East mobile slot is remake the Piggy Riches slot machine in order to appeal to gamblers who love the Far East.
Which is fine, but if you are expecting a brand new game, you won’t find it here. Much like the Imperial Riches slot is a copy of Mercy of The Gods, so this is just a re-skinned version of a much-loved machine.
And that’s ok – but couldn’t you have tried a little harder on the theme?
The graphics and animations are just not as smooth or as pretty as we’ve gotten used to NetEnt. The highest paying symbol is the Treasure Chest because these guys are Pirates – in case you couldn’t tell.
Then you have the ship, the cutlass and pistol, the compass and rum, all as the high paying symbols. Then you get Ace to 10 as the low paying symbols because there are only so many Pirate symbols around.
It’s an ok slot theme, but it doesn’t quite catch your eye as the likes of the Koi Princess slot which really knew how to make that Anime look shine.
In the end, the two main characters are all that really matters. The Man is wild and he comes with a 3x multiplier on any win he is involved in. Meanwhile, the Woman is the scatter and she triggers the free spins – which is where all the big slot wins are hiding.
More often than not, you’ll get 3 scatters and get a choice – you can either pick more free spins with a lower multiplier (ie. 22 free spins with a 2x multiplier) or less free spins with a bigger multiplier (9 free spins with a 5x multiplier).
Those multipliers give an already generous paytable even more generous wins. If you get 4 or 5 scatters, you’ll get a choice of even more free spins and even bigger multipliers (up to 6x).
Better yet, every scatters that shows up adds a +1 free spins, so even if you choose the riskier free spins with the larger multiplier, you may be surprised by how generous this casino game can get.
With some well-balanced mechanics, you can’t go wrong with this Pirate of the East slot game, especially if you love that Far East theme.

The Pirate From The East slot on mobile isn't one of the great real money slot games like this anymore. If only NetEnt had worked a little harder on the theme.
