Launched in August 2019 by Buletproof Games software provider, Blackbeard online slot takes players on a pirate adventure across tempestuous seas in efforts to provide an entertaining and rewarding playing experience. This edition boasts a superb, cartoon-like design supported with a dynamic soundtrack. Look out for Wild Substitutions, Flying Skulls and three different Bonus Rounds. The RTP is set just below the average, at 95.01%.
The 5x3 reel setup is placed on a pirate ship, offering 20 fixed paylines on which punters can wager between $0.20 and $40.00 on each spin. For the game to begin, you are to choose the desired bet value and click on the Spin button. Activating Autoplay will whirl the reels for up to 100 times. Obtaining three or more matching symbols on adjacent payline positions from left to right will result in payouts.
Playing card Jack, Queen and King stand for low-value icons issuing 10x the stake each if 5 appear in a row. High-paying symbols are depicted with Guns, a Parrot, a Skull and a Treasure Chest that grant 15x and 20x your wager should 5 of a kind land. The game’s Logo is also its top-paying icon with prizes spanning from 0.2x up to 25x the bet when between 2 and 5 hit the reels. Wild, represented with a Gold Coin, replaces all other symbols except Scatter, when completing win combinations. Another special icon is Scatter, depicted with Blackbeard himself, and is in charge of activating the Bonus game when landing on reels 1, 3 and 5.
Whenever 3 Scatters appear on the 1st, 3rd and 5th reel the Bonus game will be triggered. You can select one out of three Bonuses available: Pirate Spins, sea Battle or Super Spins. In Pirate Spins you receive 3 lives during which a Ghost attacks and Blackbeard tries to stop him. Another lucrative feature is the Super Spins where Superwilds land and remain in their place while free spins occur. These Wilds will also expand to cover the entire reel, providing greater chances for prizes. More opportunities to bag up hefty sums arrive in the Sea Battle where you will fight up to 4 Pirates and possibly increase the Multiplier. This Bonus lasts until Blackbeard or all pirates get sunk. To top it all off, you could benefit from Flying Skulls that appear randomly. Picking one of them grants a random cash prize.
You can expect a fairly balanced gameplay in this medium volatility slot that can bring prizes going of up to 20,000 coins. Since Blackbeard video slot has cross-platform compatibility, this will allow for the game to be played on any device, desktop, smartphone and tablet alike.
