Pirates Plenty Battle for Gold Slot

Shiver me timbers, what do we have here? Well, to be honest, it is one of the best Pirate-themed casino games out there. Red Tiger Gaming has put them all into this new instalment of Pirates Plenty Battle for Gold.

The graphics are some of the richest that we have seen from the game company, and the sounds just round off the sensory package, perfectly. But this Red Tiger online slot is not just a good looker, it offers some fantastically entertaining bonus feature packages too.

Simply traverse the Wild Island Row to unlock a bigger screen and wilds, while Battle Spins will offer free games with sticky wilds, and the Wild Monkey provides extra sticky re-spins along the way. All of this entertainment could lead you to massive wins of up to 5,000x your bet.

Theme, Soundtrack and Symbols

This Pirate-themed slot is played from within the bow of a ship. The room that you are in seems to be the primary storage hold for all of the treasures ever plundered by this band of sea rovers. There is a high big window overlooking the ocean outside, divided into five panes of glass. These pains constitute the reels, upon which your game symbols will roll.

The colours are hot, and the graphics are super detailed, offering a premium-quality feel to the entire package. The sounds accompany the storyline perfectly. When you halt spinning the reels, you will notice the sound of the wind, the waves beating against the bow of the ship, the creaking of the old wooden vessel, and the far-off sound of the odd seagull, alerting you to the fact that land is close. When spinning the reels, a fitting tune will keep you company.

The game symbols are well-suited to the game. While lower-paying symbols include golden coins with common card suit symbols on them, the higher-paying icons, include Skull and Crossbones, a Pirates Hat, a Cannon, a Flint Lock Pistol, and a Bottle of Rum.

There are various wild symbols scattered throughout the features of the game. We will deal with these in more detail in the Special Features section. Be on the lookout for Treasure Maps symbols and Battle Spin icons, as these are key to triggering various special features in the game.

Game Mechanics

The game is played relatively simply, offering wins when you land 3 or more matching symbols over one of the 20 paylines from the leftmost reel to the right.

The game is initially played over a 5 reel set-up with three rows of symbols. However, this can increase in size to 4 rows and 30 paylines if you trigger the Wild Island Row feature.

Before spinning the reels, ensure that you set a suitable wager of between €0.20 and €20.00 and then hit the big spin button. To speed up the gameplay, causing the feels to spin and stop faster, you can make use of the turbo setting.

If you don’t have enough time to dedicate towards watching every spin, you can also use the Auto Play tool, to set the machine to spin between 10 and 100 spins for you, automatically.

Special Features

Pirates Plenty Battle for Gold holds a vast assortment of special features and bonuses which will add much exhilaration to your game time.

Wild Island Row

Every time a treasure map appears on the reels, it will be collected and applied to the wide map hanging directly above the reels. You will see that with each addition, the pirate ship will move a step closer to reaching its destination, marked with the ‘X’.

Once the ship has arrived, an extra row of positions will be added to the reels set, offering 30 paylines for extra wins. You will be able to play on this extended grid, so long as you maintain the same wager that you triggered it with.

The Wild Island Row trigger also makes way for Multiplier Wilds to start falling onto the reels for bigger win prizes.

Wild Monkey Re-spin

There is a cheeky little monkey on the ship, who likes stealing golden coins (low-value icons). If he appears on the reels, he will remove all smaller icons from the reels and accumulate multipliers of up to 4x as he goes. Once done, the reels will re-spin with only high-paying symbols in place.

The Monkey Wild will remain on the screen for the spin, substituting for all standard game symbols and will allocate a multiplier for any win that he might be a part of.

Battle Spins (Free Spins)

You can trigger a random number of free spins when landing 3 of the Battle Spins icons anywhere on the screen at the same time. While the spins roll, Captain Blackbeard will hurl Wild bombs onto the reels, which remain sticky for the entire round to help with wins. These bombs can arrive with multipliers attached.

Watch out for fire symbols during the feature. When one lands, the cannons will fire at an enemy ship in the distance. If the cannonballs land on the reels, they will turn into Wilds, but if they hit the other ship, you will get an extra free spin allocation. If the cannonballs hit an existing Wild on the screen, the multiplier on that symbol will increase up to a possible 5x.

Play ‘On The Go’

There is no need for any special review for mobile devices for this game. The game plays in exactly the same manner, with the same visuals, sounds, and features in place, like the desktop version. Each control is easily accessible for touch play.

Red Tiger Gaming uses HTML5 technology to ensure that the game can be played directly from your mobile browser without any downloads necessary.

CasinoWow Game Verdict

If you are a Pirate theme lover or enjoy beautiful graphics and feature-rich slot entertainment, we can recommend Pirates Plenty Battle for Gold, as an excellent option for you.

There are a fair amount of smaller wins throughout the game, but in true high-variance slot fashion, the features are difficult to trigger. You will need a decent bankroll and lots of patience, but it may be worth your while once the free spins are activated.
