By clicking on "Autoplay" you will set the reels turning automatically without interruption for a chosen number of times. Just above autoplay button you will see "Spin" button which will set the reels in motion.
This slot contains stacked Wilds. Wild symbol is a Treasure Chest and it substitutes for all symbols except Bonus Scatter symbol, and Barrel Wild symbol. Also, for 5 of these symbols on an active pay-line you can get 500 coins.
Compass is the Bonus Scatter pick symbol, and if you land 3 or more of them you will trigger the bonus game. This is a mini game where you need to pick one of the Scatters to trigger either an instant win. You can win either free spins or Treasure Hunt Bonus.
Pirate Attack feature is triggered by hitting 2 or more Barrel Wild symbols. Here, the pirate ship shoots 2 or 3 cannonballs which create Wild symbols on the reels. If a cannonball hits a barrel wild, the barrel explodes and adds more Wild symbols on the reels. Barrel Wild symbols substitutes for all symbols except for the Bonus Scatters. Exploded barrel symbols substitute for all symbols except Bonus Scatter and Barrel Wild symbol.
Free Spins feature is triggered from the Bonus Scatter pick feature. The number of free spins awarded and the features enabled in this round, are determined by the Island Hop Bonus Game. Only one feature can be added per free spins round.
Island Hop Bonus is a feature where you need to click on the islands to receive awards such as free spins, instant wins, and extra features that are enabled in free spins. Extra features include extra wilds, super wilds and locking barrel explosions.
Locked Barrel Wilds are locked for the duration of Free Spins. This Wild substitutes for all symbols. Extra Wilds include Jim Hawkins, Long John Silver, and Captain Flint. These symbols turn to Extra Wilds only for the duration of free spins. Super Wilds are treasure chests and they are added to Stacks of Wilds. These symbols substitute for all except Barrel Wild.
Treasure Hunt feature is triggered from the Bonus Scatter Pick. Here, you will get a map with 5 Xs and you need to choose between them. There are 2 shovels to use for digging, and all picks award instant winnings. If you find the treasure spot you will get to choose between 3 chests for an extra big reward. Treasure hunt ends when you use both of your shovels.

I remember reading this book way back during my schooling days, but nowadays, it isn't reading anymore - it's spinning! Hehehe A storybook tale coming alive in this Quickspin game, but honestly speaking, the book gives better satisfaction! How and why? Read and find out! Hehehe.
For a 40-paylines game, the minimum starting bet is set at 0.50 per spin, with no option to reduce or select the paylines, so like it or not, players have to pay an extra 0.10 per spin for nothing! Sheesh! The play area comes in a 5x4 grid format, but this is now acceptable to me. What still isn't acceptable, is the blardy extremely low paytable of the game! Imagine getting 5 Wilds on a payline and it pays only 10x the total bet! What the argh! Getting 5 Wilds is never easy at all, so getting paid 10x the total bet is absolutely not worth it at all either! Not only that, the Scatter symbols are non-paying, the TNT Bonus symbols are also non-paying, and the regular symbols pay from 3x to 1x the total bet for any 5 of them. With such a ridiculous paytable, expect to lose 90% of the time!
Getting 2 or 3 of the Bonus symbols award the Pirate Attack Bonus game, whereby 2 or 3 cannon shots are fired, adding Wild symbols onto the reels. Sometimes this bonus feature would pay not too badly, but most times it would pay very disappointingly! Getting 3 Scatter symbols award 1 of 3 feature games - Free Spins, Treasure Hunt or Cash. Pick one of the 3 Scatter symbols to reveal 1 of the 3 options. This again proved to be very disappointing most of the time! The Cash win is totally hopeless, with just a flat 2x total bet win, but the Treasure Hunt and the Free Spins feature may or may not pay good. Yeah, most time, they are very disappointing!
I have played this game since some years ago, never getting any win from any of my many deposits made, and only recently did I finally managed to get one lousy decent win of over 100x my bet amount, after countless number of previous attempts! I couldn't even get any in-between wins of 50x - 99x. If it doesn't pay over 100x win, then all the other wins would be between 0x up to 30x the total bet amount. This is one game I would never play again, as I find it almost impossible to get any decent win. Never mind about getting a big win - the best win can only be 400x the total bet amount, if you can get 20 Wild symbols at all!
