Riptide Pirates is an exciting new release from Nailed It! Games designed exclusively for Games Global. It’s a high-octane adventure that takes place on a blazing pirate ship. Launched in 2024, It’s a swashbuckling pirate adventure where stealing and pillaging goods is the norm. However, how safe are the goods? Are the pillagers of the high seas about to lose their burning ship to the ocean depths?

About Riptide Pirates

Riptide Pirates is a 5-reel, 4-row grid slot with 25 fixed paylines. Winning combinations are formed after landing three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. Bets range from as little as 20p up to £40 per spin. Riptide Pirates is a highly volatile slot with an RTP of 96.14% and a max win of 5,000x the bet.

The slot is visually stunning, set against a burning pirate ship. The detailed graphics and vibrant colour scheme create an immersive atmosphere and capture the adventurous spirit of pirates running amock on the high seas.

The lower-paying symbols are J, Q, K, and A, while the medium-paying symbols include an anchor and a compass. The high-payers are various pirate characters, each with a unique look and value. The wild symbol is a skull, and it substitutes for other symbols (barring the special symbols) to help form winning combinations.

Gameplay

Riptide Pirates is packed with a variety of features and includes the Wild Symbol, Riptide Mechanic, Bonus Booster, and Pirates Bonus.

Wild Symbol

The wild symbol substitutes regular symbols to help create winning combinations. They can land in stacked formations, significantly increasing their potential to form lucrative payouts. When wilds appear on a payline, they can form their own winning combinations.

Riptide Mechanic

Each reel has its own Riptide counter. When Riptide symbols land, they are collected in the respective reel counter. Once a counter is full, it triggers a full stack of wild symbols on the next spin. The wild stack moves one reel to the left with each subsequent spin. If a reel already has a Riptide Wild Stack, a new one can boost it with a multiplier of up to 5x.

Bonus Booster

The Bonus Booster has 4 cannons above the reels. Initially, only one cannon is active, but others are unlocked by collecting Pirate symbols during the base game. The more cannons that become available, the more cannons you’ll have for the bonus game.

Pirates Bonus

To activate the Pirates Bonus feature, you’ll need 3 or more bonus symbols (a monkey holding a sword) on a spin. The bonus round is played on a 10×10 grid where cannons are used to target various ships and chests. Each successful hit awards cash prizes, multipliers, or other modifiers. The goal is to sink all the ships and collect as many prizes as possible before running out of shots.  Here is where you could land one of the 4 jackpots, the Mini, Midi, Major or Max, which is worth 5,000x the bet.

Conclusion

Riptide Pirates by Nailed It! Games takes you on a high-seas adventure with a bunch of swashbuckling pirates pillaging for treasures. The combination of high volatility, a solid RTP, and the potential for substantial wins makes this game an attractive option for players looking for excitement and big rewards.
