Pirates Pub Bonuses 

This game has bonus features that include a wild symbol, free spins, and sticky wild.

Wild Symbol

The wild symbol appears in the base game and substitutes for all other symbols. The wild is also the scatter symbol and triggers the free spins feature when it lands 3, 4, or 5 times.

Free Spins - Stage 1

The number of free spins that are triggered depends on the number of wilds, as follows:

• 3 wilds = 5, 6, 7, or 8 free spins
• 4 wilds = 8, 9, 10, or 11 free spins
• 5 wilds = 12, 13, 14, or 15 free spins

During this first stage, the triggering wilds leave a mark in their cell. Any new wilds also leave a mark in their cell. If a wild lands in a marked cell it increases the value of that cell. It is possible to trigger more free spins. When those free spins end, stage 2 begins.

Free Spins - Stage 2

At the start of this stage of the feature, between 2 and 5 additional free spins are awarded. Also at the start of this stage, the marked cells land sticky wilds that stay in place throughout. Those sticky wilds also have multipliers, dependent on the value that the cells became during stage 1. Any wins that are formed with one of these sticky wilds will have the multiplier awarded to the win. At the end of both stages the total win is paid out.
