How To Play Pirates Frenzy Mobile Slot
More a kerfuffle than a real frenzy, this Blueprint Gaming Pirates Frenzy slot doesn’t have much to boast, other than a 6th reel which gives you a more interesting paytable.
Well, just looking at the screenshots, you know that this Pirates Frenzy slot review isn’t going to win any points by its looks, or it’s animations.
This is more old-fashioned than a ruffled collar, with graphics that look like they could belong in the dawn of the 1990s internet. In short, our 5-year-old niece could do a better job with a painting app on our iPad.
You have Ace to 10 symbols, and then generic symbols such as rum, oranges, bags of gold, a parrot, and then two special symbols: the ship is the scatter, and the Pirate is the wild. It’s a Pirate slot game, that’s about all we can say about that.
The Pirate Frenzy slot will make you double your bet
How? By asking you to press the PowerPlay button. This will double your bet, and what you get for that is a 6th reel, which means 6 of a kind wins.
Are the 6 of a kind wins worth it over the 10 paylines? Sure, of course. How likely are you to get 6 of a kind wins? Not very high. And 5 of a kind wins don’t generally get you the kind of winning combinations of symbols that give much impact.
So you are damned if you do, damned if you don’t. If you don’t pay, you don’t get the better paytable, but at double your bet, the better paytable costs you most of your decent wins on anything other than 6 of a kind.
Can the free spins redeem this casino game review?
Nope. But that’s not to say there are not slivers of hope. Mostly it’s in the golden bag symbol, which is more or less full in the base game, but all pays the same.
However, during the free spins, these bags start to take values of their own, from 1x to 12x your bet.
This matters because when a wild pirate symbol shows up in the free spins (and only in the free spins – what’s with that?!) he will gather all the golden bags as instant wins.
Which sure, can lead to wins of over 50x your bet. Or they cannot. This is not a hard-hitting game but meant to be a fun frolic in the ocean. It’s not even that. Maybe try the Finn’s Golden Tavern slot instead, for more fun and modern twist on the genre.
