Pirate on the Edge Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Introduction

Ahoy, me hearties! Set sail in the skies with Skywind's fantasy pirate-themed slot, where you battle to grab treasure chests from your rivals and race to raise your flag for Free Spins. Each win raises your flag closer to the top to trigger Free Spins, while your pirate must land next to a treasure chest to grab it. Beware, as treasure chests can be grabbed from you, too! Choose which Pirate you want to be, and any treasure chests won at the end of a 200-spin round will contribute to your winnings. 

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

A fantastic fusion of Pirate and Steampunk themes, this game is set aboard a ship in a flotilla sailing through the sky, where treasure chests are snatched between ships. Each of the Pirates are distinct from one another, and between them, they sport goggles, a top hat, a bowler, a robotic arm and a mechanical eyepatch. The soundtrack is typical accordion-style music inspired by the 'Drunken Sailor' shanty with pirate voices whooping in the background. 

The reels unfold from a trapdoor in the deck, beyond which you can see other ships floating in the sky, powered by a mystical glowing blue energy. You can hear the wind whistling as they fly. In addition to the reels, you'll see the Pirate flags ready to hoist and the Treasure Chests boards to complete, with your chosen pirate watching over the game.

Pirate on the Edge Bonus Features

Treasure Chest bonus

At the beginning of the game, you get to pick your lucky pirate, starting a round of 200 spins. If your pirate lands beside the treasure chest belonging to one of your rivals, that chest becomes yours. Other pirates can raid your treasure chests as well during the round. At the end of the 200-spin round, each treasure chest adds 7x your bet to your winnings for a possible total of 70x for 10 chests. 

Free Spins Bonus

On each winning round, your chosen pirate's flag gets hoisted a little higher. A random number of up to 12 Free Spins are awarded when you reach the top. 

Wild Anchor Re-Spin

The Wild substitutes for any paying symbols, and if it lands on reel 3, there's a random chance that it will freeze and grant a re-spin. If you land a win on the re-spin, another re-spin is granted. The feature can grant up to 25 consecutive re-spins.

Pirate on the Edge Review

The free spins features on this slot and its lower variance keeps it interesting, and the sound and graphics look great. However, the 200-round long game may not suit everyone. If you're looking for a pirate themed slot with medium volatility and Free Spins, Red Tiger Gaming's Piggy Pirates slot is a good alternative to try, or take a look at our large list of Skywind online slots.
