Pirate Kingdom Megaways Game Review

I played Pirate Kingdom Megaways and have some interesting insights on its features, gameplay, graphics, and payout. Read the review below to learn all about it.

Theme

The slot has a pirate theme, with the background and symbols perfectly reflecting it. You can see the barrels floating in the choppy waters and a classic pirate ship in the background. Symbols include A, K, Q, J and 10 royals and ship wheels, treasure chests, a male pirate, wench and the pirate captain. Iron Dog Studio hasn’t designed a pirate-themed slot as yet. Being its first creation, I think it has done a wonderful job. Pirate Kingdom Megaways is one of the visually interesting free to play games you can try if you want a whiff of salty air and pirate-themed entertainment.

Graphics, Sounds and Animations

Iron Dog Studio’s slots have cartoon-like graphics, which are reminiscent of children’s books. Pirate Kingdom Megaways is not very different. It portrays the pirate theme with colorful visuals. I think it can experiment more with modifying the cartoon-like style and imbue more realistic graphics to make the experience more immersive, similar to what can be seen in Pirots by ELK Studios.

 

The soundtrack evokes the adventurous spirit of piracy. An interesting thing is that it becomes intense when you start spinning the reels. Otherwise, the soundtrack is mellow and made me feel like I was navigating through high seas, waiting to discover treasure.

 

Animations are reserved for the background. The symbols and images of anchors, pirates, and treasure boxes are pretty much static. However, the background shows lightly bobbing barrels, moving sea waves, and occasional burst of fire in a vessel. These elements make the ambiance more aligned with the theme.

RTP, Payout and Volatility

RTP: The average RTP is 96.20%. It ranges from 95.79% to 96.07% if you buy Free Spins ranging from 6 to 10. It isn’t high, but if you look at other slots by the developer, it’s hard to find a slot above this RTP.

 

Payout: The maximum win in Pirate Kingdom Megaways is 40,000x. The pirate captain symbol is the highest payer and offers 25x your stake for matching 6 on a payline. The payout is substantial and adds to the appeal of the slot.

 

Volatility: Pirate Kingdom Megaways has medium volatility. You need to be satisfied with smaller wins rather than expecting a big win instantly. For players who want a balance between risk and reward, Pirate Kingdom Megaways will be a fitting choice.

Gameplay

Pirate Kingdom Megaways has surprisingly easy gameplay. However, as you progress, the features unfold and spark fun. Playing is fixed at 20 coins per spin after setting the bet. Winning combinations and payouts are made as per the payout screen.

 

When the win way pays, the symbols are eliminated, and the remaining ones tumble down. The destroyed symbols are replaced with symbols from higher up on the reels. During this time, there is a high chance of extra Wild Stars showing.

 

The tumbling feature continues when more new symbols form a winning combination. It continues until there are no more ways to win.

 

Wins are counted through counting the number of consecutive reels starting on the left with matching symbols and multiplying the relative multiplier as given in the paytable by the product of the number of matching symbols on every reel.

 

This game offers between 64 and 117, 649 ways to win across its six reels.

 

Symbol	Reel Appearance	Payout Calculation	Total Coins Won
King (K)	Appears once on 4 reels (including wild)	Flat value for 4x King = 6 coins	6 coins
Jack (J)	Appears on all 6 reels, twice on reels 2 & 5 (including wild)	6x Jack payout (12 coins) × (12112*1) = 48 coins	48 coins
Chest	Appears once on the first 3 reels (including wild)	Flat value for 3x Chest = 6 coins	6 coins
Total Coins Won			60

 

Features

Pirate Kingdom Megaways follows the trend in other slots by Iron Dog Studio in terms of innovative features. It has two different wilds, the bonus game with free spins, and the sticky reels feature, which make it quite an exciting game. Moreover, the hugely popular tumbling reels feature, which gives more chances to win from a single spin, makes Pirate Kingdom Megaways an attractive slot. You can try out all these features by playing the slot in one of the top new casino sites.

 

Wild

Wild symbols are counted as all other symbols in the game. The first wild is a standard one that shows on rows 2-6 and substitutes for all regular symbols. The second wild is a step above the standard one. It also has a x2 multiplier attached and 3 X2 wilds combine to give a total of X8 multiplier.

 

Free Spins

The Free Spins feature is quite interesting. Unlike most modern slots where Free Spins come after landing a set number of scatter symbols, in this game, they are activated through consecutive tumbles (a minimum of 4). A similar feature is found in Iron Dog Studio’s other slots, like Viking Wilds.

 

The game follows a dynamic system where every additional tumble beyond the fourth gives the player 2 extra Free Spins and up to a maximum of 14. Each successive tumble during Free Spins grants a +1 multiplier. Thus, the potential for increasing wins is immense in the game.

 

The locked reels mechanic is another element, wherein, if a reel expands to 7 symbols during Free Spins, it stays locked at that size for the remaining round. On the last Free Spin, any locked reel grants 1 extra spin. Games like Halloween Horrors Megaways by Iron Dog Studio typically employ this sticky reels mechanic.

 

Buy Free Spins

You can also pay to trigger Free Spins. The option to buy it also provides a guaranteed Locked Reel and, consequently, a higher starting multipler. Just select how many Free Spins you want to buy and if you want a locked reel. The total price of buying Free Spins game is set by the stake shown in the bet control, multiplied by the level of the Free Spins chosen.
