Pirate Pays Megaways Slot Demo

Pirate Pays Megaways is one of the newest releases from Big Time Gaming, the renowned game developer who are best-known for developing the hugely successful Megaways range of games.

This game, like most Megaways Slots, is built around a 6-reel format, and each reel can contain between 2 and 7 symbols. If all reels land with 7 symbols, there is a maximum of 117,649-ways-to-win – which can offer up some huge win potential. In fact, Pirate Pays Megaways allows players the chance to win more than 100,000X their stake!

Pirate-themed video slots have always been popular in the online gambling world, although it’s the first one that we’ve seen from BTG. We really like how they’ve managed to put their own spin on things, and there’s a quirky sea-shanty-inspired soundtrack blaring in the base game.

While some players may find the soundtrack to be a bit too much, we love it – and we think that it compliments the gameplay perfectly! The reels are designed to look like they are on a ship, and a blue sea and sky can be seen in the background.

Like with most of BTG’s video slots, Pirate Pays Megaways uses playing card values, including 9, 10, jack, queen, king, and ace to represent the low-value symbols. The higher-paying symbols are all colored gems, and you’ll see green, blue, red, and purple gems. The latter is the highest-paying symbol in the game.

Pirate Pays Megaways has a decent RTP – something we’ve become used to seeing in most of BTG’s slot games. It’s set at 96.23%, which is standard for most Megaways games from the Australian developer. There’s lots of bonuses and features in Pirate Pays Megaways, so we’re going to get straight into looking at them!

Bonus Features

The first feature in Pirate Pays Megaways is the Wild Compass bonus round. On the extra row, which is located at the bottom of the screen, you will see that a wild compass symbol can land in view.

When it does, it will then play a spinning animation – and land on either North, East, South, or West. It will then expand in that direction, leaving wild symbols in its trail.

If you land three or more of the scatter symbols anywhere in view you will trigger the Kraken Bonus. This is basically a Deal or No Deal style game, and you’ll get to play a quick “pick me bonus” to determine how many free spins you’re awarded, and what multiplier you start with.

The free spins then begin, and during the free spins, there’s an unlimited win multiplier in play. Each time you form a win, the multiplier increases by +1. It’s also possible to re-trigger the free spins by landing another three or more scatter symbols anywhere in view.
