Pirate Kingdom Megaways by Iron Dog Studio

Pirate Kingdom MegaWays™ is another slot with a pirate theme. The good thing is that the Iron Dog Studio developer ensured this game surpassed others with a similar theme. That is when the Megaways game engine comes in.

This online slot comes with 2x Multiplier Wilds in the base game, and players can benefit from up to 8x multipliers. Compared to other Megaways titles, the reels of this game that contain a maximum number of 7 symbols become sticky during the Free Spins feature. Players reward unlimited extra spins. And for each sticky reel, the progressive multiplier will increase by 1x. 

Pirate Kingdom Megaways comprises 6 reels and 2 to 7 rows, and by using the Megaways Mechanics, it has up to 117,649 ways to win. This is also a highly volatile game, so players must be careful with their bankroll. With the right strategy, and of course, with the help of game features, players can pocket a max payout of 40,000x the stake.

Paytable & Paylines

Pirate Kingdom Megaways’ backdrop is expected to be a pirate ship in the middle of the sea. There are also floating barrels in the water. With the Megaways engine, the game offers players a whopping 117,649 ways to win

Looking at the paytable, the low-value symbols include A, K, Q, J, and 10 royals. They pay between 0.1 and 0.2x for 6 of a kind on a payline. The high-value symbols are the ship’s wheels, treasure chests, a male pirate, and a female pirate. They pay from 0.3x to 7.5x for 6 of a kind on a payline. The pirate captain is the most rewarding symbol. He gives 25x for 6 on a payline. 

The Pirate Kingdom Megaways video slot has a regular wild symbol and an x2 wild. They can appear on any reel except reel 1 and will substitute for all other symbols. Up to three x2 wilds can appear on the same spins, and all their values will be multiplied.

Game Features

Pirate Kingdom Megaways is a pirate-themed online slot with animated, cartoonish visuals that takes players on an adventure out on the sea to retrieve treasures. Iron Dog Studio also packed this slot with a lot of bonus features that fully utilize the Megaways engine:

TUMBLING REELS

After getting a winning combination, the winning symbols will be removed and replaced with new symbols that will drop down. This can lead to another new winning combination. 

FREE SPINS 

It activates when you get 4 consecutive tumbles. Start with 8 free spins. Each additional tumble will give you 2 more free spins, up to a maximum of 14. During this feature, any reel containing 7 symbols locks. Each locked reel increases the multiplier by 1. A reel locking guarantees you a certain number of Megaways which can lead to more wins.

If you get consecutive wins, you win extra free spins unlimitedly. Each tumble/win increases the multiplier, too — infinitely. This is commonly known as the Unlimited Win Multiplier.

BUY FREE SPINS

It allows you to pay and enter the Free Spins feature. You can choose from 6, 8, or 10 free spins, which will cost you 30, 50, or 90x your stake, respectively. Furthermore, you can choose for 0 or 1 locked reel number. Choosing 1 will cost you 40, 80, or 130x your stake for 6, 8, or 10 free spins, respectively.

Conclusion & verdict

Iron Dog Studio takes us sailing in the Caribbean with Pirate Kingdom Megaways. The symbols and the reel itself feel a tad lackluster with such a complex theme, but the background with the ship and rough seas littered with barrels makes it enticing to the eyes. The wave sound that you hear when spinning the reels adds a bit of realism while playing.

In terms of gameplay, the 6 cascading reels offer high volatility with an RTP of 96.2%. The tumbling reels feature that will continue to play until you have no winning combination anymore is quite impressive, alongside some classic free spins features. The game utilizes the Megaways engine well, and I found that it gives out generous multiple payouts that a lot of high rollers will enjoy.

Overall, Pirate Kingdom Megaways is a simple and straightforward cascading reel slot game by Iron Dog Studio. The visuals could’ve been slightly better, and the music offers just enough to make the gaming experience less than one-dimensional. What makes it a good slot game is the simplicity of its mechanics which will interest both new players looking for something easily digestible while still offering enough features for old players looking for the right amount of thrill.
