Are you ready to get your own pirate crew ready and embark on the voyage across the seas as you search for the hidden treasure?

Yes? Good, you are at the perfect place to start!

Pirates of the Mediterranean by Spearhead Studios features a standard 5x3 grid layout with 10 paylines, great graphics and sound effects that will make you think you are actually cruising the seas!

Of course, there are some special features waiting aboard as well…

…Wild symbol, Walking Wilds, Free Spins and Gamble Ladder!

Theme

As soon as you start up this title, you will find yourself at the sea with waves rolling and birds singing, giving you an incredible immersive experience!

Across the reels, you will come in touch with a lot of great looking symbols, such as cannons, pirate sailors, pirate maidens and of course, a pirate captain, all reserved for the higher paying symbols.

On the other hand, lower paying symbols come in the much more familiar shape – symbols A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9, which despite being more common symbols, are still done in great fashion that fits with the pirate theme really well!

Overall, the audiovisual experience is quite good, except for the sounds that the reels make while spinning, that could be changed a bit!

Betting Options and Other Functions

The betting options provided in this one-armed bandit are very good.

First of all, you have an option to set the amount of betting lines you would like to bet on, which is great for those of you that prefer having control over multiple aspects when placing the stakes.

Then we have the option of betting only 0.01 credits per line, which is as low as you can get in general, and this will definitely be welcomed by the newer players that prefer rolling with lower bets.

There are of course higher betting options, more suited towards the seasoned veterans, high-rollers and that option is 100 credits, which is the maximum bet you can place.

The potential payout is good as well, with a theoretical return to player of 96.02% which is a bit above average and the maximum win rewarding you with 9000 times your stake!

Special Features

• Wild symbol – The Wild symbol, every pirate’s loyal companion – a parrot, acts as a substitute symbol for all symbols besides Scatter and is a highest paying symbol!
• Walking Wilds – This feature can trigger with every spin and if it does, you will see a Golden Parrot appearing on the reels. It will then trigger a re-spin and move left for one position, which will go on until it finally moves off the reels. Scatter symbols that land during re-spins will stay there even if the Wild covers them. This feature can also trigger during the re-spins, and will last until there are no more Wilds left.
• Free Spins – Getting at least 3 Scatter symbols will reward you with a minimum of 10 free spins, up to 18. During your free spins, all standard wins are multiplied by 4, while the wins including the Wild symbol are multiplied by 8! Free spins can also be re-triggered!
• Gamble Ladder – Another interesting feature that this title offers is the Gamble Ladder which can be entered after each winning spin. If you winnings are under 150 credits, the cap is 150 credits, which increases to 30.000 for wins above 150 credits. You can also decide to collect the amount equal to the highlighted step minus the lower step and leave the new amount for the Gamble Amount, but you can also decide to collect your win, should you change your mind!

Conclusion

All in all, Spearhead Studios did a great job with their take on a popular theme with Pirates of the Mediterranean.

The graphics are amazing, and so are the betting options and the payout potential, making it really hard not to suggest this one!
