Boom Pirates

Is there a theme that better captures the desire for freedom and wanderlust like pirates? We have a hard time thinking of one, honestly! These outlaws refused to be bound by the rules of society.

Instead, they sailed out into the open sea to raid merchant ships and live lives the way they wanted to! Foxium gives us a fantastic rendition of this thrilling life in their latest slot!

Boom Pirates Slot Review

This game is played on a five-reel board with 1024 ways to win. When you first launch this title, it shows a zoomed out version of the pirate island and a massive set of reels! A large section of the playing field is inaccessible, and Foxium’s release will zoom in to hide the non-playable area. We do not have a lot to say in terms of the visuals; the town looks cool, but it does not stand out much.

Symbol designs are a mixture of playing card royals and icons with unique artwork. We like to playing card royals if they fit the theme. Unfortunately, Foxium made no effort to make them fit in. Other symbols include explosive barrels, cannons, a colorful parrot, and two pirates.

During the base game, there is a random chance the Boom Pirates special feature activates. It unlocks extra rows and reels, giving you a chance to unlock extra ways to win. On every non-winning spin, the female pirate can swing in and create a five-of-a-kind win instead. Finally, you get a free spins bonus, which also unlocks extra rows and reels to expand the playing field.
