Life on sea is a perilous one and it will take you some time to learn everything there is to know about the rules of the game. The slot comes with 6 regular reels and one horizontal reel, placed beneath the four central reels. Every reel may display up to 7 symbols. The number of Megaways you can expect is 117,649 in each spin. Every winning combo triggers reactions that remove winning symbols, adding new ones to vacant positions. Multiple wins are possible in a single spin. Betting starts at $0.20, and you cannot wager more than $20 per spin.
The reel grid is placed on the back of the ship, which is approaching the treasure island. You will not meet the crew, but you will see what kind of gemstones you may get on this voyage. Amethyst is the top-paying regular symbol, followed by the Ruby, Diamond, and Emerald. Playing cards represent low-value icons. The Compass is the Wild that substitutes for all regular icons and adds Bird Wilds on the reels, which have the same function. Two types of Scatters can be found – the Gold Chest Megascatter, and the Purple Chest Megascatter. Both of them trigger the Kraken Bonus.
Wild Compass appears only on the sixth reel. Each time it lands, it reveals directions to the North, South, West, or East. It will add Bird Wilds in one of those directions (if possible). There are two ways to trigger the Kraken Bonus. First, you can trigger it by landing three or more regular Scatters on the reels. Land the Purple Chest Megascatter (appears only on the sixth reel) with other triggering Scatters to trigger the Enhanced Bonus Round.
Once you get into the Kraken Bonus, you get 20 different free spins options. Each extra Scatter landed on the triggering spin will remove one of the options. After that, cannons remove up to 5 options from the list. Once you get the Free Spins offer, you may reject it or take it. Continue to reject until you get the desired one, or until there are only two more present. In the Enhanced Bonus Round is triggered, the lowest 10 free spins options are automatically removed.
Even though the game might seem a bit complicated in the beginning, especially the Kraken Bonus, once you learn the rules of the game, you will enjoy your stay at the pirate ship. The extremely popular Megaways engine, 20 different free spins options, reactions, and Compass Wilds that add Bird Wilds on regular reels will keep you busy for quite a while. Put your pirate equipment on and embark on an exciting voyage with BTG’s fearless pirate crew.
