Gameplay
As you begin the game there are two extras available, you can choose to click on the Foxify button, this would give you a better chance of triggering the Yo Ho Ho Free Spins feature but it will cost you an extra 50%.You can also click on an Orange gift box to activate a buy feature, this gives you a shortcut to the Yo Ho Ho Free spins but it will cost you 100x your stake.If you decide not to bother with either of the above and just play with your chosen stake, then you will find 2 features that can hit at random in the base game.Wonderways Reel Extension – this can trigger at random during the base game and will increase the grid up to 9×6 and give 10,077,696 ways to win.Mary’s Swashbuckling Attack – this will trigger at random in the base game if you lose during a spin. Pirate Mary will swing in and change symbols so that you will get a win with five matching symbols.If you trigger the Yo Ho Ho – you will get 10 free spins and if you find another 3 scatters during the feature you will get another 5 free spins, this has no limits.The feature starts with the day changing into night and the ship gets ready to fire its cannons, the grid expands but the extra positions are covered with the grey skull stones. The cannons fire and uncover random reel positions, this can continue until the whole grid is uncovered and gives a 9×6 grid with 10,077,696 ways, it can stay like this until the end of the free spins.We loved Boom Pirates, the theme has been seen many times but this game was really good. Visually the slot is excellent, and we loved the weird, pirate/ Irish sounding backing track. The features are super and the potential to win 3,800x your stake is pretty good.
