Pirates

Pirates have always been something that gets the attention of people as a bit of an exciting archetype, and the Pirates slot, available at Fazi online casinos, brings everything you might think of with these high sea fiends to the reels. While there are a lot of games in the online slots world that have used these ocean brigands as a theme, the difference with this particular title is that the gameplay is a bit more exciting than what you may be used to. On top of that, the graphics take a somewhat darker and more serious slant on the concept than what we usually see as well.

Game Layout

The layout used in this game is set up to give players a pretty good number of ways to win without being excessive. The grid of symbols has five vertical reels with three horizontal rows, but there are 15 paylines across that grid as well. Some players might note that this is on the lower end for a game that has such an action-oriented theme, but the idea here is that it works well with the feature set, which is something that you'll see below. Players can wager from $0.01 to $3 on each of those lines, so you can bet from $0.15 on the low end to a maximum of $45.

Mystery Progressive Jackpots

Players who are on the hunt for big payouts and prizes will probably note the jackpots listed in the bottom-left corner before almost anything else. These are some of the biggest payouts that you can win in the whole game, and they're progressives that players have a chance to win on every single spin. This is regardless of how much you wager as there's no minimum bet size to qualify for these prizes. With that having been said, your chances to win are improved the more you wager to keep things fair between the lower bet sizes and the larger ones. Along these lines, something like a $1 wager would have one-third of the chances of winning than a $3 bet.

Wild Lady Symbols

The lady pirate in the white top and black hat is the wild symbol in this game. She's really easy to spot because she's the only woman in the game. Five of a kind of this symbol will give players a 200x payout, and you can drop that down to 20x for four of a kind. A win of 2.5x is yours for three of these wilds on a payline as well. This wild substitutes for everything but the scattered treasure chest bonus symbol, so she's definitely help you to get some extra payouts, but she becomes even more important during the free spins bonus round.

Treasure Chests and Free Spins

On the first three reels, you'll see treasure chest symbols show up occasionally. If you get at least two of them on the reels at once, then you'll trigger a set of free spins. This feature hits a little more often than similar features in other games, but two of a kind will get you three free spins while three earns five free spins.

During the free spins bonus feature, every wild symbol that shows up on the reels will stay in place for the rest of the feature. What this means is that you could get a wild payout on the very first free spin and get that same payout with a chance for more for every one of your spins of this feature.

Other Prizes and Payouts

There are two man pirates who make up the other major wins. Five of the younger of the two gets you 100x, and five of the older with a white beard pays out 50x. You can also score 25x for five of a kind of the skull and swords symbols, and it drops down to 20x for five of the ship symbol. The blue A symbol along with the red K pay 15x for five, and you can pick up 10x for the J, Q or 10 symbols. Note that the compass symbol can also appear at random, but it awards a re-spin for free instead of being a paying symbol.

Overview

What we like about the Pirates slot by Fazi is that it's a bit more gritty than the humorous slant that you usually see more often in the online slots world. Add that to some value-packed features that are a bit different than the usual, and you get a real winning combination.
