Adventures of Doubloon Slots
There are a plethora of pirate themed slots on the market these days. So it takes a truly special game to stand out in the crowd. This is true for many popular themes, we all love pirate games and with good reason. As slot players, we're always virtually digging for treasure, so a pirate theme lends itself well to this type of game. That being said, I really enjoyed Adventures of Doubloon Island. The goal of this slot is to land treasure chests full of doubloons! This game was crafted by two powerhouse companies. Microgaming, which is one of the world's leading software developers, has teamed up with Triple Gold Studios. These graphics are breathtaking. They have killer bonus features and they incorporate the pirate themed story every step of the way.
Symbols
Microgaming presented a sophisticated and gorgeous aesthetic theme. There are a variety of pirates, like the red pirate captain. There is a rather terrifying violet pirate captain. Other symbols include a parrot and a pair of cutlasses. These are the highest paying symbols. Like most slot games, there are also low paying symbols. Some of these low playing symbols include spades, clubs, diamonds and hearts. The lady pirate is the wild symbol, and the treasure chest is the scatter symbol. There are two other special symbols, one is a golden skull with crossed cutlasses. The other symbol is represented by doubloon coins, which trigger the HyperHold feature. This game is mobile phone compatible, and can be pulled up on a variety of devices such as IOS and Android. It's also desktop friendly. The slot game can be played in demo mode too, so you don't need to make any real money bets until you're ready. This game is played on five reels and three rows. There are 20 total pay lines and the betting range is great. You can bet as little as 0.10 per spin or 75 coins per spin. However, if you activate the Win Booster, the minimum bet increases to 0.10 per spin and the maximum bet is 50 coins. The return to player percentage associated with this promotion is 96.01% making it a high volatility slot.
Special Features
Now, let's discuss that HyperHold Feature I mentioned. If you land six or more doubloon coins or skulls, you'll unlock the HyperHold feature. Whenever symbols triggered this feature will be frozen in the position and you'll have three spins to to accumulate as many of those symbols as you can. Any additional extra symbols that land will reset the respin value back to three.
During the HyperHold round, you might activate one of the four jackpots found within this game. There is a mini jackpot, a minor jackpot a major jackpot and a mega jackpot. The mega jackpot pays out 2,000x your bet, while the major jackpot pays out 500x your bet, and the minor jackpot pays out 100x your bet. If you land the mini jackpot, you'll receive 25x your bet.
There's also a Win Booster Feature where you can raise your stake by 1.5x per spin, which will increase your chances of winning and unlock the HyperHold feature more easily. The other special feature found within this game is the free spins feature. If you land three scatter symbols, you'll receive ten free spins. If you land four scatters, you'll receive fifteen free spins. Lastly, if you land five scatter symbols, you'll receive twenty free spins. If you land more scatter symbols during your free spin rounds, you can retrigger more spins. There's also an expanding wild feature. The lady pirate wild expands two to three positions on the reel, and substitutes for all symbols except the scatter symbol.
