The Pirate Treasure Hunt Is On!

Its show time and today, we’re putting on a pirate play! Meet Hook’s heroes, the 5 pirates who are ready to battle with mermaid multipliers, capture expanding wild fairies and play for up to 15 free spins and random wins of up to 194,800 coins. Led by the fearless, wild Captain Hook, this crew will take you on an unforgettable adventure in search of the greatest pirate treasure of all!

Gameplay

Netent have really put the effort into this pokie! Firstly the theme is a children’s stage play about the pirates of Never Never Land, where all the kids are led by a Wild Captain Hook and dressed up and ready to hunt for treasure. There are three features: the multiplying Mermaid, the magic expanding Wilds Fairy and Pirate features, where the mermaid and fairy are depicted as stuffed toys and the pirate can swing in to make wins out of any symbol combinations regardless of the 20 payline rule. Plus a crocodile costumed scatter that triggers the special feature games. Captain Hook himself is Wild and there are 10 base symbols, made up of 5 pirate costumed kids, which are the higher payout symbols, and 5 card symbols.

The theme here is fantastic and the Neverland play gives it a fun twist on the usual, more serious, pirate themes. The soundtrack is also fun, but the game structure with the special features, brings it all up to a whole new level. The graphics are also superb: the lovable pirates fail dismally at being scary and the background setting, a children’s stage play, even has strings holding up the clouds and a hand moving the boat around on the ‘rocking’ waves!

Special Features

As mentioned, there are 3 special features in this game, which are tied to the crocodile scatter symbol. When you get 2 crocs on the reels, you are awarded 1 free spin with one random feature. Three crocs trigger the free spins bonus game with one added feature, either the mermaid multiplier x2 which comes with 10 free spins, the fairy which grants up to 5 random wilds on 7 free spins, or the pirate feature, which gives you 15 free spins and makes every matching symbol a win regardless of the paylines. If the bonus game is triggered by 4 scatters, you can also choose two features and for 5 scatters, you get all three.

Verdict

This slot is not child’s play! The theme might be delightful, but the bonus games are extraordinary and the wins are deadly serious. And for a whopping RTP of 96.82%, even we’re ready to raise our tin foil swords and shout ‘Arghhhh!’
