Legend of The High Seas Slots
Many people are familiar with Blackbeard, the English pirate whose legend of being a brutal killer is disputed by historians. Facts suggest the only people Blackbeard killed were those who helped capture him for his eventual beheading. Meet Bluebeard, the star of Legend of the High Seas slots. This fictional counterpart to Blackbeard. This skeletal pirate has bountiful prizes and offers a 2x multiplier when he’s part of a winning combination.
Bluebeard Doubles Your Winnings
On his own, Bluebeard offers up to 10,000 coins as a wild symbol. If he replicates other symbols to help form a winning combination, that prize doubles. The prizes he doubles include the following. The 9, 10, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace need three symbols before you win a prize. All the others take just two matches.
- 9 and 10 – 5, 15, or 100 coins
- Jack and Queen – 5, 20, or 125 coins
- King and Ace – 5, 30, or 150 coins
- Map and Hook – 2, 10, 75, or 300 coins
- Treasure Chest and Parrot – 2, 25, 125, or 1,000 coins
- Bluebeard – 10, 200, 2,500, or 10,000 coins
The Legend of the High Seas has a scatter, too. It pays 2, 5, 20, or 500 times your total bet when you land at least two of them on the reels. It also triggers the game’s other special feature.
Win Free Spins with the Bonus
Three or more scatters lead to the free spins bonus. You start with 15 free spins and a 3x multiplier. You can retrigger additional free spins with three or more scatters. There’s no limit on how many free spins you can win, but the 3x multiplier doesn’t increase. There is a max win of 50,000 times your coin value, however. If you reach that amount, the spin ends and a new one begins.
This pirate slot also has a progressive jackpot as a special feature. It’s randomly awarded, so you could win it on your first spin of the reels. The value of the progressive changes, but it’s nearing $6,000 at the time of this review.
Place Your Bet Before You Spin
Before you spin the reels, you need to set your wager. Use the plus and minus buttons on each side of the green spin button to do so. The max bet is $100, but you can play for as little as 20 cents.
As there are 20 paylines, that puts the coin values at a penny to $5. As the game pays ample prizes with only two matching symbols, we won a lot more than we risked. On the max bet, our first spin led to a $200 win. Five spins later, we won $850.
The graphic design has a visual appeal with bright colors and animations. Sound effects are minor and feature Bluebeard’s laugh and what we call standard slot sounds with whirring reels, dings, and chimes. It doesn’t matter that the audio isn’t as dramatic as other pirate slots, the prizes make up for it.
