Ghost Pirates slot is brought to you by NetEnt and presents a spooky gaming environment that will send chills down your spin. The game setting places you out at sea on a haunted pirate ship.
This slot is played quite differently from regular slots giving you an option to pick your Paylines. There are 243 Paylines in total with options to choose from 3, 9, 27, 81, and 243. As usual, you get to play on 5 reels.
How to play
To play, players get to place a stake by adjusting the coin and bet levels. Coin values range from 1 cent to 50 cents giving players a wide range of options to pick from. The bet levels are set from 0.25 up to 62.50 coins per spin.
With your stake in place, you can set the autoplay feature. There are up to 100 spins to choose from which will run automatically at the same bet level. Winning combinations are triggered by matching the same symbols from left to right.
On the reels, you will come across some ghostly pirates and animal pirates each with a treacherous name. Peggy Rotten, the ghost pirate captain is the best symbol awarding up to 1,500 coins for 5 on the reels.
Up next is One-eyed Ed. He offers 1,000 coins. Mad Monkey and Polly the Parrot will pay out 500 coins and 400 coins for the same combo.
Low pay symbols are shaped like typical items on a ship such as cannons, anchors, carts and pistols. The pistols pay quite nicely offering 200 coins for 5 on the reels. The cannons and anchors offer the least rewards. Matching 5 of any of both symbols will award you 80 coins.
Ghost Pirates Slot Special Features
Special Symbols
The Skull Pirate Captain is the wild symbol. When collected, it will stand in place for any other symbol on the reels.
Bonus Features
Free Spins
The free spins bonus feature is the only bonus round on this slot. It is triggered by collecting scatter symbols on the reels. With 3, 4, or 5 scatters collected, you will be awarded 10, 15, or 20 free spins. You can also take home a payout of 2x, 20x, or 50x the stake. All wins in the free spins round are multiplied by 3x.
Jackpot
Ghost Pirates is extremely light on bonus features. You won’t find a jackpot prize to trigger but you can land decent game wins during the free spins round.
Return to Players (RTP)
For a slot with few bonus offers, the below average RTP of 95.28% is a bit of a letdown. However, you do get a nice medium-high volatility gameplay.
Verdict
While this slot sets you on a fun pirate adventure, there aren’t many thrills to expect. You will find huge base game payouts but the game’s RTP comes just below average.
Still, the slot does make for a nice game featuring sumptuous graphics and an immersive gameplay that will captivate you.
