About pirate slots
Pirate slots trade on ships, treasure maps and chests of gold. Treasure themes often come with collect or cash symbols, but each game has its own rules.
Compare the games below on their published numbers.
RTP of pirate slots
The highest headline RTPs among pirate slots are Pirates Plenty Megaways by Red Tiger (97.65%), Jolly Roger by Play'n GO (97%) and Ghost Pirates by NetEnt (96.88%). The average headline RTP across all 21 is 96.27%, and the lowest is 94.19% on Pirate on the Edge.
4 of them (19%) are published in more than one RTP version, so the return depends on the version an operator runs. The widest gap is on Jolly Roger: from 97% down to 84.94%.

Volatility is published for 16 of the 21 games: 3 low, 3 medium, 5 high and 5 very high.
