Hot Cash Chest Slot

The title might have you wondering what you’ve stumbled across on your search for new and exciting slots, but don’t panic as this theme is a lot more conventional than you might have first thought. It’s pirate through and through. 

You can really have a jig on the deck with this PlayPearls game, with all the other swabbies who are just as passionate as you about finding gold in these here waters. And what gold there is! With all the free spins, bonuses and the max payout on any symbol being 2,000 credits, you’ll soon be leaving with a comfortable booty in tow. 

If you’re a seasoned sea dog you probably won’t need our help, but if you’re a young pup just starting out than our map of how-tos is going to be invaluable to you, so keep it close. 

Aye Aye, Sir!

For you to start scrubbing that deck to avoid walking the plank you’re going to have to be extra kind to that captain, and that always means greasing his palms with some gold coins. 

As a pirate you should have some lay about somewhere, and you’ll only need a maximum of 2.50 for a starting bet, which works out at 0.10 per payline. If you’re feeling foolhardy and ready to mutiny against the captain, you can crank the total up to 25 credits, which is 1.00 on every active line. Doing this is made easy thanks to the large clear buttons that PlayPearl have designed. 

Taking a look at the paylines, there are 25 for you to trigger, though you only have to play with a minimum of 1. However, while it’s good to have this level of control, the less lines you have active the less likely you are at finding all those features, and as this is a medium volatility slot, they’re hard to come by already. 

For those of you that like everything speedied up without any hassle, there’s the automatic spin button just above the spin toggle; clicking this will start the software rolling for you, leaving you to do other things. You can even climb atop the mast if you so wish. If at any time you decide you want to stop this option, you only have to select it once more and the feature will end. A quick spin option alongside this would have been perfect, but Play Pearls don’t seem to offer much variance in their settings, and so you’ll just have to make due - it’s seaworthy so that’s the main thing. 

Throughout your voyage, if you need to familiarise yourself with the icons or paylines and where they fall, there’s the help section that has all paytable information within it. It even explains about the bonus feature, which we’ll touch on ourselves soon enough. 

Set Sail

Now that we’re on those open waters, let’s investigate that treasure map for there seems to be a lot of chests to dig up along the way; we can only be referring to that bonus round! 

Yes, PlayPearls doesn’t like to include these extras very often, so when they do it’s cause for much excitement. In this game you need to find at least three of the bonus symbols, which are labelled as such and sporting a huge wooden chest. Once you’ve got them you’ll be taken to a new screen lined with many other chests, and all you have to do is keep opening them up to find prizes. Players keep on doing this until told to collect their winnings. Granted it isn’t a very taxing mini level, but it gets you lots of cash so it’s good in our book. 

As always the brand has included a free spins icon and a wild, with the two as thick as thieves if they turn up together. The free spins can get you up to 40 bonus rounds should you find five of them, while the wild simply subs everything but this symbol. 

While this is all-important, what is most important is how much each tile is worth – it depends on the amount you bet. Therefore, if you have the lowest stake possible, the rewards will match it, but go all the way to the top and the winnings will too; you need to look in the help section to see it in action. 

Land Ahoy!

This is one of PlayPearls’ better slot machines, and it’s down to a number of factors, such as the more giving jackpot and fancy bonus game. But, if we’re totally honest, it’s the theme. It just works. This brand is well known for trying out lots of quirky ideas to make their games different, but they don’t always work, whereas they’ve used a tried and tested format and it’s a success.
