A Pirate's Quest - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Set sail for adventure in this 5 reel, 50 payline slot from Spinomenal. The objective is to land matching symbol wins and with 9 paytable symbols and one-off wild payouts, there are plenty of potential ways to boost your bankroll.

This slot really ramps up the content with features galore, including wild wins and multipliers in the base game and a free spins journey with four different features.

Add in a pick and win bonus and it all adds up to a highly playable and complete package. If it sounds complex, a few demo mode spins should make everything clear.

Better yet, there’s a buy a feature side bet, so you can trigger free spins without having to wait for them to drop naturally. Mobile players will enjoy smooth and seamless spins of this browser based game on any mobile device.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

There are plenty of pirate themed slots around but the comic book aesthetic in this game is particularly well done.

We’re on the Caribbean island hideout of the crew of the Jolly Roger. Treasure is stashed in the cave, which is guarded with teeth-like boulders, and the fearsome mountain peaks deter intruders.

Captain Redbeard is holed up with his first mate Molly and the remains of their shipmate, Slim Jim. The ship’s parrot stands guard over the reels and steps in as the wild.

It’s always a comedown when so much attention has been paid to the look and feel of a game to see royals making up the lower paytable. But the storming soundtrack does a lot to keep the immersion rate high in this entertaining slot.

RTP & Volatility

Risk takers will enjoy the high volatility gameplay but most players will be keen to buy the free spins feature at least once. The standard 95.5% RTP is a little disappointing, but the 50 paylines go some way to compensate.

Overall Review: Our Verdict

With its thrilling theme and excellent collection of game features, A Pirate’s Quest is a highly playable slot.

Pick of the bunch are the free spins with the pick your own feature - we like the travelling wilds and you can opt to Buy Feature which shifts the volatility in your favour.

Even so, big wins are rare, but the entertainment value alone makes this slot well worth exploring. We also like the Pirates Plenty online slot, with its innovative Oceans Spins and Treasure Reel bonuses.
