Hidden Loot Slots
It's time to join Captain Peg-Leg on a high-seas adventure to a desert island on which he's found out there's some serious buried treasure to dig-up – just beware that you'll have to get past the undead skeletons that protect the treasure!
You'll join the adventure just after Captain Peg-Leg has docked hic ship on the beach and jumped ashore, and you'll find him stood next to the reels of this three reel slot 3 pay-line slot - from where he's hoping you aargh going to unlock the Hidden Loot Bonus Round for him. This is as a Pac Man type game in which you actually get to navigate Captain Peg-Leg around underground caverns as you pick-up gems against the clock.
This pirate slot adventure from Betsoft is a actually a little gem, and there's much to enjoy, including the main game prizes which can benefit from Wild Captain Peg-Leg, and the chance to hold icons after certain spins.
The Bare Bones
Unlocking the Hidden Loot Bonus Round is key to getting the full cut and thrust excitement out of this slot, and the way to do it is by lining-up 3 Hidden Loot Logo Icons on any of the three paylines. Once triggered, Captain Peg-Leg will dig a hole in the beach and disappear below to the secret underground caverns in which the gems have been buried. You can then navigate him through the tunnels by using the arrow keys on your computer. The aim is to collect 10 rubies within a certain time and, if you achieve this, you will progress to level-2 and then level-3, where you get less time but bigger prizes. On all levels, beware the undead skeletons whose eternal job it is to guard the treasure as they will take your gems if they catch you. However, if there's time on the clock you can try again within the same bonus.
Beach Games
The main game takes place on the beach, where you can spin the reels of this game after you've selected your spin-stakes. Choose to bet either 3, 6, 9, 12 or 15 coins, and then give these coins a value of 0.02 up to 0.5.
The reels will then spin with the bottom reel positions filling with icons first, then the middle positions and finally the top positions; so you get 3 lots of excitement in 1 spin. However, sometimes, only the bottom positions will fill with symbols and, when this happens, you will be given the option to hold 1, or 2 reels which will then fill completely with the symbols you held. If you get two matching symbols when this happens, holding them gives you 3 possible lines on which to land a matching symbol.
Prizes can be won for lining-up 3 matching icons, or matching icons with a Wild Captain Peg-Leg substitute, and these prizes include 5 coins for Topaz, 15 coins for Sapphires and 25 coins for Rubies. You can also win 50 coins for Treasure Chests, 100 coins for Pirate Ships, and 250 coins for 3 Captain Peg-Legs.
Betsoft like to offer their slot fans something different to look forward to, and the idea of playing a Pac Man type bonus game in which you can actually get rewarded in cash for your skills rather than just getting a “high-score” should have great appeal – and those undead skeletons are going to get a bony ass-kicking very shortly!
