Jolly Roger 2 is Play’n Go’s five-reel video slot that offers 20 fixed paylines. Playable from $0.20 per spin, the 2020 release offers plenty of additional features players can benefit from. Use the random Compass feature to get random win multipliers of up to 10x. Red Roger is the Scatter that triggers the Bonus Quest feature, where players can get four different features by picking matching pieces.

Experienced pirates will have no trouble once they board the ship, but even sailors with no experience will quickly learn the rules of the game. The 2020 release features five reels, three rows and offers 20 fixed paylines. Get 3 or more matching icons on a payline, starting from the leftmost reel, and you will win payouts. Betting starts at $0.20, and the biggest wager cannot go over $100 per single spin. There is the random Compass feature that can be applied after any spin, and will carry an win multiplier from 2x to 10x.
When it comes to the crew members, players will only meet the captain, Red Roger, which is the Scatter that triggers the Bonus feature. The Flag is the Wild that substitutes for all regular symbols. Once in the Bonus feature, you will also find Maps. Regular icons are represented by the spoils from plundering. There are Chests packed with treasures, enormous Diamonds, Golden Crosses, and Rings with Skulls. Playing cards represent low-paying symbols.
Get three Scatters on the reels and you will trigger the Bonus Quest feature. Pick from 12 treasure maps and match three feature icons to trigger one of the four features on the offer. If you get the Instant Prize, you can win up to 20x, or up to 200x if the Compass feature activates. In the Bottle of Rum Free Spins feature, players get 1 freebie, and pick from 5 rum bottles. Rum bottles can reveal Wilds that are fully stacked on the reels. You continue playing until you pick a bottle with poison. Again, the Compass feature can be triggered.
In the Battle Free Spins feature, you get numerous free spins, which last until you lose all three lives you get. English, Portuguese, and Dutch armadas are your adversaries. You can also battle against a merchant ship, and here you win instantly. The game is played on a 3x3 reel grid. To defeat an armada, you need to win best of three. Every armada comes with a different reward, which is applied on a free spin, together with the guaranteed Compass feature. Even if you lose, you get a free spin with a Wild reel. Finally, there is the Treasure Hunt feature, where you get 10 free spins, look for pieces of the treasure map, and reveal chests to get to the X mark on the map. Once you do that, you get extra freebies and modifiers that include symbol upgrades and Compass multipliers up to 10x.
Jolly Roger 2 is intended for action junkies that are looking for video slots packed with features, and if you are not one of those, you should look for fun elsewhere. The game might seem a bit complicated in the beginning, but once you trigger the Bonus Quest feature for the first time, everything will be clear. Every single feature will provide you with lots of opportunities for big wins, so there is no reason for you to join the crew of captain Red Roger.
