Pirates' Plenty Megaways
Ahoy, Me Hearties! Prepare to sail aboard Lady Anne’s ship in the hopes of finding the most glorious treasure within all the land. She’s a tough but fair captain who expects her crew to pull their weight. Luckily, you aren’t alone with all the features to help you to find tasty booty.
The Pirates’ Plenty series has wowed online slot fans by making pirate themed slots that go above and beyond. Red Tiger decided that it was time for a Megaways makeover to give the fans even more ways to win. There’s literally no excuse to miss Pirates’ Plenty Megaways.
Design
When you enter Lady Anne’s ship, you’ll notice rustic stairs surrounded by golden coins. To make things even more atmospheric, there is a slight indication of a kraken ready to attack. The reels are centred in the middle of the screen and almost look like a treasure map with the Wild Ways map at the top.
When you win, you’ll notice the ship and screen start to shake. It creates such a vibrant atmosphere for the slot that makes winning even more exciting. Red Tiger definitely tried to push the Pirates’ Plenty series even further.
Whilst there is no music in between spins, there is soft ambient sounds such as creaking or waves rushing. As you spin, you’ll hear a grand theme mixing violins and drums that almost sounds straight out of one of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Between this and the intricately designed symbols, Pirates' Plenty Megaways is one of the best pirate themed slots that we've ever seen.
Gameplay
Whilst the visuals may look big and grand, the gameplay is relatively simple. There are 8-reels with up to 200,704 ways to win but nothing is too complicated. Menus can be found at the bottom left of the screen with the paytable and help menus as well.
The spin button is at the bottom right of the reels with the autospin to the far left. Players can go up to 100 autospins and are required to set loss limits.
Win Potential
As Pirates’ Plenty Megaways is a high volatility slot, you’d expect to receive less frequent but higher returns. The maximum payout for this game is 10,000x your stake according to the developers and this can be achieved with the Lady Anne wilds that expand and can award multipliers of up to 8x.
The most disappointing thing about this slot has to be the low RTP at 94.65%. Whilst this isn’t the worst we’ve seen, it’s just under the average standard for online slots.
Our Verdict
Almost everything about this slot is pure brilliance but the win potential is a little lacking. It completely knocks down Pirates’ Plenty Megaways from a great game to just a good one. The design is phenomenal and perfect for the series, whilst the features are pretty innovative.
Perhaps if the RTP was above 95%, then Pirates’ Plenty Megaways would be a solid game for slot players. If you are a fan of the series, then you should definitely check out this slot. Don’t worry if you haven’t played any of the other titles as this one is fairly self explanatory. Just be aware that the RTP isn’t too high and you’ll get on fine.
