Silver Seas Review
Microgaming's Gold Coin Studios decided to release their own pirate slot to create a wonderful adventure in which players search for their own juicy booty. Silver Seas plays on 5-reels with 20 paylines with a solid RTP at 96.24%.
The highlights of this slot include a free spins wheel that can award players up to 30 free spins with a 3x multiplier alongside skulls scatters that award instant cash prizes of up to 2,000x your stake. So prepare your parrot, grab your eye patch and prepare for a pirate voyage unlike any other.
Design
In the world of Silver Seas, the background is set to a hidden skull caving containing treasure. There are fire pits to light up the cave with these being animated. The reels themselves contain various symbols associated with pirates such as cutlass swords and canons.
Once these symbols are collected in a win, they animate on the reels and add ambient sounds. For example, when you land on the canons, they fire on the screen and release a loud bang. It all combines to create a full experience that pirate fans will definitely enjoy.
As expected, the music is reminiscent of the Pirates of the Caribbean film series with violins and drums to create an epic score. There are ambient sounds such as bombs and gunshots throughout the slot to enhance the slot even more.
Gameplay
There isn't anything complicated about this slot and anyone should be able to pick up and play. The left of the screen highlights the level of skull scatters landed to show you exactly how much you have won. Other than that, the rest of the slot is pretty much just like any other.
All the relevant gameplay settings are to the right of the reels with the spin button in the middle. Alongside it, you can find up to 100 autospins with the bet level. Thankfully, most of the slot is self-explanatory and is perfect for newcomers to slots.
Win Potential
During our playthrough, we found ourselves winning fairly frequently and activating the free spins wheel fairly often. Of course, this isn't representative for every playthrough but we found the return decent. The stated RTP of the slot is 96.24% with a medium volatility level which is basically what we experienced.
The biggest payout in the main game comes from landing 9 of the scatters which can lead to 2,000x your stake. Of course, you can receive the maximum total in the whole slot by landing this combination during free spins with a 3x multiplier.
Our Verdict
Pirate slots are generally hit and miss but Silver Seas is all hit. It's brilliantly designed with visually stimulating icons mixed with a vibrant soundtrack. The gameplay itself is fun with the free spins wheel being incredibly appeal.
You'd think that it would lessen when we'd get towards the win potential, but it's a knock-out there. Granted, it's a medium volatility slot but the RTP at 96.24% mixed with the maximum payout of 6,000x your stake is amazing. Silver Seas is definitely worth a spin, so set sail and join the crew.
