Plunderin Pirates Hold & Win bonus features
Wild symbol
The wild symbol is the pirate skull and can substitute for all other symbols in the game apart from the bonus icon. The wild symbol can also land randomly on the reels when the captain throws a bomb.
Explosive modifiers
The captain can step out at any point and throw a bomb onto the reels. If one or more symbols on the reels are hit by the bomb, they can be modified in three different ways. The symbols can:
- Upgrade to a higher-paying symbol.
- Turn into a wild symbol.
- Place one to three gold coins on the reels, which makes it more likely to trigger the respins round.
Plunderin respins
The free spins bonus comes in the form of Plunderin respins in this slot, so the aim is to trigger it as often as possible. The respins come with the Hold & Win mechanic, which is something featured in a lot of iSoftBet free play slots.
To activate the respins round, you have to land five or more gold coins with a predetermined value anywhere on the screen. The gold coins will land and all other positions stay empty. Now you have to fill up the rest of these spaces with gold coins and are awarded three respins to make this happen. Every time a coin lands on the reels, your respin counter is set back to three; therefore, it is very possible that you could end up having a lot of respins. When all the spins have been used, the coins are counted and awarded to the player.
Booty boosters
There are four other types of coins apart from the gold ones, which are your booty boosters. They can land anywhere on the reels and add value to any coins already present:
- Green coins - Boost any adjacent coins on the screen by one cash level.
- Blue coins - Unlock an extra row at the top of the reels. There are three extra rows that can be unlocked, which means you will be playing on a 5x6 grid.
- Silver coins - Collect all the values of the gold coins present on the reels.
- Purple coins - Collect all the values from the gold and silver coins on the reels.
Conclusion
This game has been built really well and the bonus mechanics work well with the clean graphics. The symbols are easy to differentiate and the features add some unique elements to the game. There is a lot of action packed into this medium variance title, even if the top win isn’t the highest we have seen. Overall, it is a crazy treasure hunting adventure with plenty of bomb-throwing action, which a lot of players will enjoy.
