Pie Rats Slot - NZ Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Pie Rats!

Danish developers Magnet are quite new to the free slots games market, as they were established in 2014. Their HTML5 based games show attention to detail, playfulness and real innovation, with excellent graphics and soundtracks. Pie Rats is no exception! Starting with the title, which is a clever play on words, this game follows the adventures of a group of rats who sail the Seven Seas as (groan) pirates. The game is available on mobile and tablet as well as desktop, so you can keep up with your miniature marauders wherever you go.

Why Are They Pirates? They Just Aargh!

The game has five reels and twenty paylines, and some neat bonus features. You choose how much you want to bet per line and how many lines you want to play, and you’re ready to set sail. The backdrop for this game is a desert island, infested with crocodiles and dotted with sinkholes. The rats - and the player - must find the buried treasure! The reels themselves are transparent, meaning that the cheerful, cartoony symbols spin over the backdrop. If you decide to check out the paytable, there’s a cute animation - the information is set on a sail, which the rats raise to the sound of breaking waves and seagulls. Magnet have decided to do away with the traditional playing card symbols, so in this game the lowest paying symbol is a Treasure Map - always the starting point for a great adventure. If three Treasure Maps show up on a payline, you will win twice your initial wager. It’s also worth noting that any prize you win comes with a free Spin!

Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum

The prizes increase as you get more symbols on a payline and as the symbols increase in value. The next most valuable symbol is the smiling Cabin Rat, followed by the Crocodile with his jaws wedged open, some delicious looking Cheese and a Bottle of Rum. When these symbols appear on your reels, you can win up to 80 times the amount you bet per line. Captain Rat is a generous gentleman who can earn you even bigger prizes; if you get five Captains paddling along, using their hat as a boat, you will win 150 times your line bet. The Treasure Chest lives up to its name, and is the highest paying basic symbol - five Treasure Chests are worth 400 times your stake.

Aargh, Me Hearties!

Then there are the special symbols. First up is the Wild symbol, which is a bomb. This can appear on reel 3 and will substitute for any of the basic symbols, increasing your chance to win. Then you have the Bosun Rat, with his eyepatch and his parrot puppet. Four bosuns will trigger the Birthday game, where you must eat cake to reveal prizes. Finally, there’s the pick a Pie symbol, which triggers the game of (drum roll) - Pick a Pie! With all this and progressive Jackpots as well, this is a game to walk the plank for.
