Pirate Spirit Slot Review

The Good Ship Venus – otherwise known as Friggin’ in the Riggin’ – debuted on the Sex Pistols’ album entitled The Great Rock ’n’ Roll Swindle. 🏴‍☠️

Labeled a “bawdy drinking song devised to shock with ever increasingly lewd and debauched sexual descriptions of the eponymous ship’s loose-moralled crew” by Wikipedia, I could think of no better soundtrack to play while having a go at Zillion’s Pirate Spirit slot. ⚓️

Gameplay

Pirates are usually dour fellows, too busy lighting their beards on fire and not giving continental about anything other than gold.

Well, not this pirate! He’s all agog with bulging eyes, his gold tooth glimmering from his red-bearded face, and his hook hand. Which, if you take note, is his right hand – so it’s a wonder then that he’s full of the joys of spring, if you catch my drift.

Instead of the arse-end 🐴 of a ship, the 5x3-reel grid we see here is nestled on the deck of a fine sea vessel. Zillion has done its usual magic with the design, so everything leaps off the screen, and there’s an air of intoxicating fun and mischief.

Pirate Spirit slot looks equally wicked on a mobile phone in any orientation. Unsurprisingly, the symbols are made up of compasses, telescopes, bottles of rum, cutlasses, and treasure maps.

You’ll notice that there are a bunch of Jackpots shown above the grid, but more on that later. First, we need to look at the stats this game is built on. There are 25 paylines, an RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate.
of 96%
, and a high volatility rate.

Given this last bit, I’d say the max win could’ve been better, but I guess we’ll have to take the €150,000 and run with it.

There are no currency limitations, so you can play with your favorite one. Just not Spanish doubloons please; those are a bit too old school.

The Wild is our ginger captain and he replaces all symbols other than the Scatter.

Features

FREE SPINS:

Hitting 3 treasure chest Scatters initiates the Free Spins round. During the feature, you can additionally land a Long Wild, which is a Wild that takes over the entire reel it's on.

PIRATE’S JACKPOT:

The Jackpot triggers when you land 5 identical symbols simultaneously. The Jackpot reel will then begin spinning and whichever one the pointer rests on, is the Jackpot that’s awarded.

BUY BONUS:

You can exchange your money for two options:

  • Option 1 (31x your bet): Triggers the Pirate’s Jackpot
  • Option 2 (29x your bet): Triggers the Free Spins round

Performance

Hundreds of spins and no issues – that was my experience while testing Pirate Spirit slot.

Maximum Win

The max win and multiplier – €150,000 and 1,000x respectively – are a little less than I expected. But in the absence of a treasure map or hidden gold, I guess it’ll have to do.

The betting range starts at €0.10 and is capped at €150, so that’s a very broad spread to suit all tastes and pockets.

Conclusion

If simplicity and an infectiously good vibe are what you’re after, then look no further than Pirate Spirit slot. The game also offers an exceptionally well-priced Buy Bonus options, which feels way less butthole-violating than some other games that just wanna strip you of your last dime.

On the flip side, if you like big bucks and you cannot lie, or if you’re a fan of complicated features or non-stop action, then I wouldn’t suggest spending your time and money here. Even though it will brighten your day.
