Australian specialist online slots developer Lightning Box has enhanced its European portfolio of games with the release of its latest title, a 4 x 5 reel online slot titled Five Pirates.
This game has been a proven winner from the Asian online market to South American land-based venues, and is now made available to European online audiences via NYX’s OGS.
Featuring 1,024 different ways to win, the game has a theme illustrated by graphics of skull and crossbones flags, cannons and the game’s titular heroes.
All the symbols pay left-to-right, while the scatter symbol triggers the game’s unique “Hold-n-Spin” bonus round.
Peter Causley, md at Lightning Box, said Wednesday that Five Pirates has a track record of popularity and transports players across the Caribbean and into the golden age of piracy.
“We’re very confident that landlubbers and seadogs alike will enjoy exploring the game’s richly detailed and immersive setting and its unique feature section,” he said.
The innovative Hold-n-Spin bonus round boosts engagement in the game and is activated when two to four scatter symbols appear left to right; it covers each reel where the symbol appears with an ancient scroll, re-spinning the uncovered reels up to three times to uncover more scatter symbols.
If all the reels are covered the player will enter the Five Pirates Bonus Round and be whisked away to choose from one of five bonuses. This opens an opportunity to win up to 15 free games, or a multiplier of up to 15x stake.
