Pirate Gold Slot Review

Money bags and the Respin Round

Eight money bags in view start the Respin Round. Inside it, the studio says, you can win treasures, jackpots and multipliers, and the round can be retriggered. Our source does not list the jackpot tiers, the multiplier values or how many respins are given, so the size of these prizes is unknown here.

Because the trigger asks for eight bags at once on a 20-position grid, this round is unlikely to show up often. When it does, it is the part of the game that carries named jackpots.

The crew goes wild

The second bonus is a Free Spins Feature where the crew symbols act as wilds. The studio highlights stacked wins in this mode, which points to wild crew members filling whole reels or large parts of them across the 40 lines. The trigger and the number of free spins are not stated in our source.

The figures on record

Pirate Gold has one RTP, 96.5%, and therefore a 3.5% house edge. That is about $35 per $1,000 wagered in the long run. For 100 spins the average cost is $0.70 at $0.20, $3.50 at $1 and $17.50 at $5.

There is no volatility rating and no maximum win in our data.

Pirate Gold Deluxe followed in 2020 with a 96.48% RTP, a fraction below the original. Other 2019 releases from the studio with the same 96.5% figure include 5 Lions Gold, Fire Strike and Greek Gods, the last of them rated High. Caishen’s Cash, Egyptian Fortunes and Hercules and Pegasus, all from 2019, list 96.5% as well, so the return alone does not separate these games; the bonus design does.

Who it suits

Two independent bonuses mean there is more than one thing to wait for, which suits players who like variety within a classic line layout. Without published volatility or a ceiling, it is hard to judge the risk from the numbers alone. The free demo is the practical way to see how often the money bags gather and what the respins pay.
