Jolly Roger Slots
Scale the Jacob’s ladder and hop aboard the Jolly Roger, a large wooden pirate ship which bears the same name as the infamous skull and crossbones flag that struck fear into the heart of crew members on board passing vessels, as you’re about to sail the seven seas in the hopes of amassing lots of booty.
Transporting you back to the Golden Age of Piracy, Jolly Roger by ThunderSpin boasts the usual impressive graphics that we have come to expect from them with the dynamic background providing views of the water moving and mist descending under a cloud of darkness. And just as much effort has been put into the sound effects too as you’ll be hearing ropes being pulled on pulleys, swords clashing together, creaking as waves crash against the ship and parrots squawking, all on top of an upbeat tune that would have been perfect for a shanty as the workers rolled their sleeves up!
The High Seas Are Calling
The fast-paced action on these choppy waters takes place across 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols and you’ll be hoping to line up lots of booty across the 10 fixed paylines, with numbered flags sticking out to highlight the payline that your win was formed across every time you get your hands on some treasure.
You’ll have the opportunity to become a buccaneer and join the captain and crew members on board the Jolly Roger for a marauding raid across the seas from a low limit of just 0.10 credits, while the fearless hearties amongst you who like to play for high limits can do so by staking up to 100.00 credits each time thanks to the bet per line options ranging from 0.01 to 10.00 credits.
The most exciting aspects of Jolly Roger are the two bonus games that have been included as they see you get your mitts on treasure in very different ways – either forcibly with the aid of cannons as you scuttle enemy ships or by working up a sweat digging where X marks the spot on a treasure map!
Your Slice of the Booty
The crew of pirate ships may have operated on a ‘no prey, no pay’ agreement that saw them receive a share of the ill-gotten gains amassed during the voyage in lieu of a fixed wage, but you’ll know exactly what your slice of the booty will be after taking a quick glance at the pay table.
As usual, the geniuses at ThunderSpin have let their creative juices flow while designing the symbols for the Jolly Roger video slot. Even the bog-standard playing card suit symbols have been designed in a unique way with rewards of up to 50x, 35x, 25x and 10x your line bet up for grabs for matching them from the leftmost reel.
The highest-paying symbol is the anchor as they see you secure up to 1,000x, parrots flying onto the reels for a squawk sees them deliver up to 400x, the octopus have gotten their tentacles on the captain’s cocked hat and he will reward you with up to 200x for retrieving it, while the fish must have gone down a treat as only their bones remain - and they see you feast on wins worth up to 100x!
A trio of special symbols have also been included and these boast the most impressive designs of all. It’s a patch-eyed, bandana-wearing skull with a pair of cutlasses in its rear that acts as the Wild symbol and it can substitute for all but the Scatter and Bonus symbols – more on the perks these deliver below!
Three Sheets to the Wind
Stock up on lots of grog and keep a few bottles to hand as you’ll be downing them in celebration whenever you trigger either of the two bonus games that have been included in this free Jolly Roger slot machine – just don’t go for walkies afterwards or you might find yourself inadvertently walking the plank!
Crossing paths with a trio of enemy pirate ships, which represent the Scatter symbol, at the same time means it’s time to arm yourself for an almighty battle. Forget your cutlass, it’s free spins that you’ll be armed with and even more explosive wins can be claimed thanks to cannons which are introduced during the game feature. Each cannon that appears sees two additional free spins added to your total, while every five that you come across see the multiplier value increase to ensure you prove victorious.
You’re in for a treat whenever you land the treasure chest on the third reel as this represents the Bonus symbol and its appearance will result in you viewing a treasure map. You’ll then get to order some crew members to board a small boat and choose one of five islands for them to navigate to in the hopes of locating treasure. The islands you can choose from are named The Island of the Skull, Monster Island, Orgre Island, Desert Island and the Island of the Hanged. Revealing a skull signals that no treasure has been found and your crew have returned empty-handed, however, you will then get to send a second crew to a different island in search of treasure chests that contain between 1x and 5x your stake.
A Golden Slot for a Golden Age
There is no shortage of online casino games based on the Golden Age of Piracy, but this is another exceptional addition to the collection, so get to grips with your pirate lingo and hop on board!
The creative team at ThunderSpin never disappoint, so whether you play Jolly Roger on mobile, tablet or desktop, you’re in for a treat as it looks sensational on all platforms. Combine this with the advertised return-to-player percentage of 95.70%, the swashbuckling sound effects, plus the two bonus games and it’s easy to see why so many players are finding it difficult to resist the lure of the high seas!
