Pirates Plenty: The Sunken Treasure Review
Pirates Plenty: The Sunken Treasure is renowned developer Red Tiger Gaming’s first attempt at putting their own spin on a pirate themed online slot, and boy have they done a good job.
This highly volatile 5-reel, 20 payline slot is famed for its innovative features that include extra tall wild multipliers, respins that see low-paying symbols replaced by more valuable symbols, free spins and the very lucrative addition of a sixth reel.
This game has all the hallmarks of a quality Red Tiger Gaming creation, what’s more, this fantastic slot is often linked to Red Tiger Daily Jackpot at many popular online casinos, so you could win a life-changing sum of money playing Pirates Plenty: The Sunken Treasure.
Design
Red Tiger really did go all out when designing Pirates Plenty: The Sunken Treasure. Rather than place the reels on top of a generic pirate themed background they have instead created the entire game to look like the inside of a Captain’s quarters on a pirate ship.
Gold coins and jewels are scattered across the table in the centre of the screen whilst weapons and even more gold is piled either side of the reels.
The reels look as if they’ve been set up against the window of the ship, however, it’s quite difficult to tell whether what we’re seeing when we look through the window and past the game symbols… It’s either the ocean during the night or the very bottom of the ocean! Based on the name of the game we’d hazard a guess that it’s the latter of the two.
Low paying symbols are gold coins with card symbols set into them in the form of colourful gems, these are the club, heart, diamond and spade. The high paying symbols include a vial of poison, a set of pistols, a cannon, a pirate hat and a skull and crossbones.
In terms of sounds, a generic high-octane tune that wouldn’t seem out of place in a movie plays on repeat as you spin the reels.
Gameplay
The game follows the same standard format as all Red Tiger Gaming slots, the stake can be set using a dropdown menu in the bottom left-hand corner of the game screen, the spin button is opposite this in the bottom right-hand corner.
Players can set up to 100 autospins by pressing the button next to the stake, however, to do so they must first set a loss limit indicating how much they’re willing to lose during this period.
Win Potential
This high volatility slot has a slightly below-average RTP (95.07%) which does let this game down a little bit, however, we can never truly write off a game when it has a maximum win of 5,000x the player’s initial stake (or more!).
You’re most likely going to need a pretty sizable bankroll if you want to make the most out of this game. If you’re just looking for a quick casual spin or two then look elsewhere, if you’re ready to board the ship for the long-haul then absolutely play this game, you won’t regret it!
Our Verdict
We’ve come to expect nothing but the best from Red Tiger Gaming, and Pirates Plenty: The Sunken Treasure is most certainly amongst the best. It looks great, sounds great and is an absolute pleasure to play, especially when that sixth reel comes into play. Head into this game with tempered expectations and a big enough bankroll and you’ll be rewarded for your patience.
