Pirates Plenty Battle for Gold

It’s not often that we get a sequel for such a recently released slot. Most of the time, developers prefer making spiritual successors rather than outright follow-ups. And even when they do, it usually takes years!

But Pirates Plenty gets a new entry rather quickly, in comparison. But is Pirates Plenty: Battle for Gold a worthy sequel? Or will it be forced to walk the plank?

Pirates Plenty Battle for Gold Slot Review

The game is played on a five reel board with 20 fixed paylines. The developer starts strong with their start-up animation; seeing a ship sunk by our cannons looks really cool! You’re then treated to a lovely background of the sprawling sea and an evening sky. At least, that’s what we see outside. Inside is our treasure room, filled to the brim with gold and weapons to keep said treasure safe!

Symbol designs are appropriately pirate themed! We do technically see the appearance of playing card suites like clubs, diamonds, hearts and clovers, but they’re imprinted on bronze coins. Other icons include a bottle of rum, a pair of pistols, a freshly fired cannon, a pirate hat, and a spooky skull! Also be on the lookout for maps, which you’ll have to collect to unlock some of the special features this release offers.

What are these amazing bonuses, you might ask? First up is the Wild Monkey, which swaps out existing low value symbols with new, premium icons. Collect fifty maps, and you unlock an extra row for that particular wager. This means you now have access to multiplier Wilds, and ten more paylines, for a total of thirty. Last, but not least, is the free spins round, where you fight an enemy ship in hopes of looting it.

How to Play Pirates Plenty: Battle for Gold

You play Pirates Plenty: Battle for Gold on a five reel board with twenty fixed paylines. The number of paylines can increase to thirty during one of the bonuses. To win, players must collect three or more identical symbols in adjacent positions, starting with the leftmost reel. All wins must follow one of the currently active paylines, or else the cash prize won’t be awarded to the punters. The jackpot for this slot is 5500x your total stake.

Bonus Features

There are a lot of bonuses to talk about. So let’s not waste any time and dive right in!

• Wild Monkey:

During normal gameplay, the Wild Monkey can appear on the board. He will swap all low-value symbols into premium icons. The last symbol he replaces will be swapped to a Wild Monkey icon. This Wild also comes with a multiplier!

• Wild Island Row:

Collect fifty map symbols to unlock an extra row and ten more paylines. It should be noted this unlock is only valid for your current bet. If you want to increase or decrease it, you’ll have to unlock the row all over again. Once unlocked, the row also allows you to draw multiplier Wilds, which can carry multipliers up to 5x. Furthermore, if more than one multiplier Wild is on the reels, the multipliers can combine.

• Battle Free Spins:

Collect three Scatters to start this bonus. The number of free spins you get is random. During free spins, Wilds are sticky, and lock in their position for the duration of the special feature. Every so often, a Fire icon will appear, which can transform into a Wild, or award more free spins. If you’ve unlocked Wild Island Row, you can also land sticky multiplier Wilds!
