Caribbean Cannons - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction 

The idea of sailing around the Caribbean conjures up images of luxury yachts or fancy cruise ships with amazing facilities. Things are a bit different, though, in this seafaring themed game from the Swinnt Gaming slots online collection. 

Forget tasty buffets and evening entertainment, as Caribbean Cannons features feisty pirates in search of both treasure and a fight with the navy! Over the 3x5 reels you get to meet all kinds of unsavoury characters and their weapons and witness plenty of cannonball action. 

Graphics & Soundtrack 

From the moment the screen reveals Caribbean Cannon’s backdrop you’re placed right into the middle of pirate action. Sitting at either side of the reels are two ships - the navy squaring up to pirates of the high seas. With every spin the imposing cannons peeping from the sides of each vessel fire a cannonball across the reels, triggering transformations on the squares they land on. That’s a really fun feature.

The symbols are cartoonish, and there are plenty of them, including five pirates (one wild), a parrot, cutlasses, guns, compasses and telescopes. The scatter is an old cannon.

Have your finger hovering near the sound controls when you activate the background music. It’s loud and a perfect fit, but the short loop drove us mad. Who knows why the designers don’t tackle this annoying problem! On the other hand, the general sound effects are suitably dramatic and entertaining.

Caribbean Cannons RTP and Variance

There’s not too much to get excited about here, with a below average RTP of 94%, paired with a medium variance level. 

How to Play Caribbean Cannons

Use this handy guide to help you get ready to play Caribbean Cannons; all the controls you need are underneath the reels.

1. It’s wise to start by setting up a bet total per spin that suits you. At the far left you can adjust the CREDIT VALUE using the plus and minus buttons, followed by choosing a multiplier level (applied to any wins) from the default x1 to x5. Remember that the higher you go with either, the more your total per spin will be.
2. There’s also a BET MAX button if you fancy going straight for the top, but keep an eye on your fun credit level!
3. This is a good time to get familiar with the basics, which means navigating round the small symbols at the very bottom of the screen. The speaker icon is an instant way to adjust the sounds, while the small “i” leads you to the paytable, paylines and game features information.
4. Before you press spin take a moment to check out two more things. The AUTOSPIN button allows players to set up the slot to spin the reels for them. Here the choices are 10, 25, 50 and 100 spins.
5. Check over your choices to avoid any mistakes - then you are ready to go. 

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins 

There are two strands involved when constructing your ideal bet size for Caribbean Cannons. The credit value ranges from a low of 0.01 to a top level of 1.00. When used with a x1 multiplier this translates to a total of 0.30 - 30.00 fun credits staked per spin. Going for the x2 multiplier doubles each stake, x3 trebles it and so on. The highest possible stake per spin is 150 credits.
