Privateer Riches

Online slot game Privateer Riches is the upcoming game released by Light and Wonder. Light and Wonder may sound like a newcomer in the business, but it is actually Scientific Gaming that has undergone a complete rebrand.

This online slot game is coming out in June, and though the information is scarce, the little there is out there is enough to get anyone excited.

A quick glance at the images released by Light and Wonder shows us a graphics and animation-rich slot game. This is a pirate-themed online slot game, so plenty of fun is in store.

Built across 5 reels and 3 rows, the game’s symbols include card suits and other pirate-related symbols. As we can assume, these are the lowest paying symbols. On the other hand, the highest paying symbols are the charter map, the gold coins and the pirate symbol. The bonus symbol acts as a scatter to trigger the free spins bonus round.

The game is set up on an old wooden pirate ship with three cannons aimed at the reels. The pirate ship is moored, and in the background, we can see more ships as well as a jolly roger flag waving in the wind. The game is very well-embellished, and the gold coins and wild symbols make this game a feast for the eyes.

As a player, the main aim of this game is to sail the seven seas and to fire up the commons in order to activate expanding Wilds on reels 2, 3 and 4.

The payout percentage stands at a blow average of 94%, but this is a low volatile game. Players can expect small wins on a frequent basis.

Privateer Riches free spins

Land a bonus scatter symbol on reels 1 and 5 to enter the bonus round. When this happens, you will have to pick and choose between your treasures. You may win free spins, a free spins multiplier or cash prizes.

Once this bonus round is over, you can opt to play the free spins or take the cash.

Privateer Riches bonus features

One thing that is obvious is that Privateer Riches is very feature-list. Though we don’t know what all the features are, here are the ones we know about for sure:

Wilds

Wilds substitute for other symbols in a bid to create a winning combination. In this game, the Wild symbol has another important role. The cannons can be randomly triggered to shoot expanding wilds on the reels. When this happens, the wilds expand throughout the entire row and could possibly create generous wins.

Win multiplier

It is not known whether the win multiplier is available in the base game or solely for the free spins bonus round. A win multiplier is usually applied to a winning combination, and the value is multiplied by the designated multiplier.

Privateer Riches RTP

Privateer Riches comes with a payout average of 94%. Although this is a below-average payout percentage, this is a jackpot slot game. Jackpot slot games come with lower than average payout percentages.

This is also a low volatile game. Players can expect small wins on a regular basis.

Verdict

While many bits and bobs are missing about this game, there is plenty of evidence that this is going to be a thrilling slot game worth waiting for. The expanding wilds is already a very bountiful feature that is designed to generate big wins. The fact that the cannons randomly shoot out wilds onto the reels was a very nice touch to an already exciting game.

As a jackpot game, the lower than average return to the player might dissuade some players. If you are used to 96% payout percentages, the low percentage of 94% may put you off. This is an entirely normal payout percentage for a jackpot game, no less one that comes with 4 individual jackpots.

We are curious to learn more about the 4 levels of jackpots and the sizes of these prizes that will come part and parcel with this game.

While the number of free spins is still not now, we can safely assume it is going to entail 10 free spins. Along with a win multiplier, this can lead to generous wins. A low volatile slot game is always appreciated by players with a smaller bankroll. Even so, with the various in-game features available in this slot game, players could possibly make a tidy profit.

Though little is known about this game, the signs and the graphics released for this online slot game look promising.
