Pirate's Gold is a pirate-themed 9-payline video slot operating on the NetEnt software platform. The scatter icon is the Pirate Coin symbol, which triggers the Bonus round. Players are welcome to try the slot on this page free of charge or select any of the listed NetEnt casinos to play the game for real money.
In order to join a pirate crew, one should first adjust their wager. 0.1 is the preset coin size. Pressing "Single Line" adds a bet of 1 coin on 1 payline. To place a bet of 1 coin on all 9 lines simultaneously, players should click "All Lines". Pushing the "Clear Bets" button deselects all paylines and bets. “Spin” starts the game and “Max Bet” turns the reels at the highest available bet. “Auto” will spin the reels automatically for a preset number of times uninterrupted.
When 3 or more Pirate Coins emerge on a payline, players win a Bonus game.
In the first Bonus game, players aim the cannon at the moving ships and then fire the cannon. The winnings are displayed at the shipwreck. Players can win 10, 50 or 100 times their bet in this round. If the ship holds a golden key, a second Bonus game will be initiated.
In the second Bonus game, players need to guide the parrot to select a chest. As they open the selected chest, their winnings are revealed. The chest will win players 100, 200, 500 or 1000 times their wager.
A 10,000-coin jackpot will be awarded when 5 Treasure Chest symbols emerge on an enabled payline.

Pirate’s Gold is an interesting game because its layout is like a classic slot machine but it’s a 5-reel, 9-payline one. According to design it’s a land-based machine (there’s another one-armed machine in the back) and we can see on the front covers of the machine a pirate on his ship with treasures in one hand and sword in the other while the cannon stare at other frigates. This image would be perfect if the inevitable parrot would sit on his shoulder.
With all of these I enumerated almost all the symbols the game has and which present 23 winning combinations in total. From these possibilities the 5 treasure-chests is the best and surprise player with a x10.000 award. To achieve this we can use bets for all lines from €0.90 up to the increased €9.
Though this little game has no Wild symbol or free spin feature but has 2-level bonus round. If 3 or more Pirate icon appears on a bet line we get to the bonus game where have to shoot down and sink one of the four enemy’s ship that float around an island. We have a cannon and 1 attempt to do this and if the shoot hit a ship that hide a golden key the bonus adventure step to another level. In this first stage the wins is x10, x50 or x100 of line bet. The second bonus is opened from the first bonus and here with help of the golden key and assist by parrot we must select one treasure-chest out of 5 to get additional award that can be 100, 200, 500 or 1000 times of bet. That’s really funny how the parrot is flying.
My biggest problem with Pirate’s Gold is my general concerns at games like this, namely, the reels screen and symbols are too small and I feel they’re crowded. I think some solution for better visualization would be nice this area. Other than that it’s a fine, little cute game with bigger prize than I originally thought.
