Bonus Rounds and Payouts
The card value symbols in Captain’s Treasure are, as sual, the lowest value
symbols. 9 and 10 icons are the lowest playing symbols and a maximum combination
of 5 of a kind will pay out a maximum of 100 coins. Jack and Queen symbols are
one notch above with a max payout of 200 coins for the same combination. The
King symbol will reward players with a maximum of 300 and the Ace pays out 500.
The picture symbols pay out slightly more in winning combinations. Both the
Wheel and the Anchor will reward players with a maximum of 1000 coins for 5 of a
kind. The map takes things to the next level by paying out 2500 coins for
landing 5 in a row. The Clashing Cutlasses is the best paying symbol in the game
and pays out the maximum amount of 5000 coins.
The Scatter symbol in this game is the Treasure Chest and landing just two
more anywhere on the reels activates it. They do not have to be on the same pay-line but must
follow a consecutive pattern. The amount of Treasure Chests will determine
the amount your total winnings will be multiplied by as your reward. 5 Treasure
Chest symbols will award the maximum award of 100x.
Additional Game Features
One special symbol has yet to be discussed and that is the Wild. The Wild in
this game is the Captain and can replace all the other standard symbols. What is
special about this particular Wild is that it can also replace the Scatter which
is quite unusual and leads to major winning possibilities.
The game also has a Dollar Ball progressive jackpot, which is enabled in many
of Playtech’s games. Players can put a side bet on this jackpot by clicking on
the Dollar Ball button on the right hand side of the screen. The Dollar Ball
jackpot is won by landing 5 Dollar Ball symbols on the reels. This jackpot can
be as much as several hundred thousand Dollars.

Wilds

Scatter
The scatter symbol is that of the Treasure Chest and it can
unlock the free spins round.
Summary
Playtech has put a quirky twist on the usual pirate theme. The imagery used
is typical of a pirate theme but the style of the cartoon graphics is somewhat
fresh and the soundtrack is crisp. The game is simple and easy to play and the
Wild and Scatter certainly liven up the otherwise predictable game-play.
It may
seem as though the lack of bonuses reduce winning potential but the standard
symbols have reasonably high payouts to make up for it, and let’s not forget
about the potentially life-changing Dollar Ball jackpot.
