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.
