Pirate Kingdom Megaways Slot Review
Iron Dog Studio is a very small game provider, who also tries to bite the largest possible bite from the Megaways cake. They have chosen a cartoon-like theme, full of dingy pirates, muscular ship mates, cannonballs and much more. We held our hearts a bit at Pirate Kingdom Megaways, certainly because Iron Dog Studio has not really earned its spurs so far.
Our fear turned out to be completely unfounded: Pirate Kingdom Megaways is an emblem of a video slot. The theme is funny, the bonus round can be enormously lucrative and the game has enough original elements to positively surprise even the most inveterate Megaways fan.
How to play at Pirate Kingdom Megaways Slot?
Pirate Kingdom Megaways works like any other Megaways slot:
- 6 reels with rows up to 7 symbols high
- a maximum of 117,649 Megaways
- you bet from 0.20 euros to a maximum of 20 euros per spin
- high variance
- win up to 40,000 x the stake
Of course, winning symbols disappear and new symbols replace them. Due to this well-known “Avalanche” mechanism, multiple winning combinations can occur one after the other. The theoretical payout percentage is 96.20%. That is just about average for this type of online slot.
Most symbols pay a price from 3 of the same. The exception to this is the main pirate, who pays the same symbols from 2 onwards. This sea foamer is also the highest paying symbol and gives you a prize of 25 x the total bet for a 6-of-a-kind. The other symbols are worth a lot less, but that doesn't mean anything with this slot. In fact, because of the wilds, progressive multipliers and stacked symbols, the chance of winning a big prize with a “low” symbol is a lot bigger than with the premium symbols.
Buy a bonus feature
The Buy a Bonus feature is a very popular option with many Megaways slots and Megaways Casino players. Iron Dog Studios has therefore cleverly done to build in a Buy a Bonus option in their first Megaways slot machine. The nice thing about this Buy a Bonus is that you not only determine how many free spins you want to start, but also whether or not you want to start with 1 sticky roll of seven symbols. You choose 6, 8 or 10 free spins and 0 or 1 row of seven symbols. By mixing and matching you pay between 30 x and 130 x the total bet. It costs a little, but then you really get something.
Free spins bonus
You can buy the free spins bonus quickly via the Buy a Bonus option, but you can also simply win it during the basic game. You do that by taking at least 4 winning spins in succession. That gives you at least 8 and at most 14 free spins. During the free spins, a number of boosters is a gift, which makes the game a whole lot more interesting than the average Megaways slot.
These are the extra boosters you can win:
- every winning spin is good for a +1 multiplier
- a roll of 7 symbols becomes sticky and gives you +1 extra multiplier
- every 4 consecutive winning spins gives +2 free spins
- every winning spin gives another +2 free spins
- the maximum multiplier is unlimited
- you can earn a maximum of +14 extra free spins
If you manage to spin multiple reels with 7 symbols on the first reels, you can shoot up your balance like a rocket. With this game, it is really a pleasure to see if you pick up a big payout after a spin. The free spins bonus from Pirate Kingdom Megaways is enormously erratic, but definitely one of the nicest of all Megaways slots we have ever played.
What do we think of Pirate Kingdom Megaways?
We think this first Megaways release from Iron Dog Studio is fantastic: in one word. In fact, we really can't get enough of it. We have been able to win bonus winnings of 2,500 – 3,000 x the stake several times and we can tell you: that feels great. The sticky reels with 7 symbols are a wonderful find: they not only provide extra multipliers, but also extra large playing fields. And everyone knows: the more ways to win, the more chance of extremely large winnings.
