Overall Review

8 Golden Skulls of Holly Roger Megaways™ Firepot™ brings players a unique all-female take on the traditional pirate theme, up to 117,649 winning ways, mystery symbols and free spins. It’s kind of like your typical Megaways slot game – but there’s one thing that really sets this game apart…

The Firepot. We’re surprised we haven’t seen this feature in a Megaways game before this, seeing how popular titles like Hyper Strike have become. Collecting up to 8 or 9 scatters for a larger-than-average prize is such a simple concept but players love it.

So, we think it’s fine that 8 Golden Skulls of the Holly Roger Megaways is a bit basic throughout the rest of its gameplay. Of course, we’d like to see something a bit more from the free spins round and perhaps a more generous top prize – but the Firepot really elevates the gameplay to keep things moving along.
