Jolly Roger Slot

Jolly Roger is a nice looking video slot game from Play N` Go with some nice sound effects too. All the symbols that are used in this game are created to match the theme. The main reason I like this game is because it is so easy to activate the bonus features.

Jolly Roger is a 5 reels and 15 pay lines video slot game. I have played this slot many times because I like the game in general. I think it has everything I am looking for in a game. There are regular five of a kind wins. The highest amount that I have won was 1250 coins for 5 diamonds on an active pay line. That was only once, most of the times I was getting 5 of a kind wins from the weaker symbols though. the last time I played this game I had an unusual experience. Most of the spins were losing but every fifth spin was a bonus. The wins were not that impressive either. I was getting around 5 euros from each bonus round.

There are 2 bonus rounds in the Jolly Roger video slot game. The Map Bonus is activated by 3 map symbols. This symbol appears on the first three reels and what is interesting is that the first part of the map is on the first reel, the middle part is on the second reel and the third part is on the third reel. Here, in this bonus you need to pick 3 places and each one reveals a prize.

The other bonus round is the chest bonus which is activated with at least 3 chest symbols. Again, you need to pick a chest which reveals a cash prize. The wins are not that big though. I do not think that I have won anything higher than 5 euros so after a while I kind of lost interest in the bonus features.

Jolly Roger is another video slot from casino software provider Play’n Go. I wouldn’t be surprised if Play’n Go tried to bank on the success of the famous Pirates of Caribbean franchise with this slot. It basically got the same theme as NetEnt’s Ghost Pirate slot. Graphically this video slot isn’t exactly on top of the world.

But I believe this game is quite old so that logically explains that it does not match today’s standards when it comes to graphics. Jolly Roger is a video slot with 5-reels, 3-rows and 15-paylines. Playing this game is already possible for only a betsize of 15 cents per spin. That’s the betsize I used while playing Jolly Roger during a low rolling session.

The symbols used for this game reflect the theme very well. On the reels you’ll find various Pirates, Swords, Diamonds, Golden Pirate Coins, Canons, Parrots, Rings, Ships, Maps, Treasure Chests and the Jolly Roger Flag symbol. The Jolly Roger Flag acts as a wild in this game and is responsible for the biggest payout of 10,000 coins for a 5oak combination.

Other symbols to pay attention to are the Maps (3 needed on a payline to trigger the Map Bonus) and Treasure Chests (3 needed in an active payline to trigger the Chest Bonus).

The Map bonus is where you have to pick three places to dig up treasures. Every time you make a pick, then a coin prize gets revealed. This bonus game isn’t too spectacular since it can only pay between 60 and 1200 coins. I don’t think I ever won more than 25x bet with this game. It does however trigger often, so it does keep your balance somewhat stable in case there is a lack of decent wins.

The Chest Bonus seems to be a bit more difficult to trigger though. Only managed to do this a couple of times. Although it advertises payouts all the way up to 4,000 coins when getting 5 of them, I never won more than 30x bet.

All in all, this game is pretty disappointing despite the attractive pirates theme. The bonus games serve little or no purpose since big wins seem to be almost impossible. The only appealing characteristic is the jackpot payout for 5 wilds but that's where it ends.

Since I was a child have always felt something enchanting about Pirate-themed artworks and remember I’ve never been able to drag off from front of TV if such kind of adventure movie was shown. The sympathy is still intact today and of course it goes to slots game, too and I almost feel I can’t get enough of them. So Jolly Roger is no exception and first time I tried it I did that with heightened interest.

I can’t say as it would be a regenerative game as I don’t see any specialty or matchless solutions. The illustration of the game is just average with no the best pictorial work or a detailed, precise elaboration nonetheless it still has some charm (you’re right I’m prejudiced) that sometimes insists me to try my luck on it.

The creators didn’t make this slot to be difficult to understand (I mean its game rules) or be too complicated and I think spending some minutes with it enough to feel something like ‘Have I already seen everything?’
This 15-payline game has the ordinary attributes as Wild, Scatter, Bonuses but doesn’t offer Free spin features. Jolly Roger has some good payout numbers like the Scatter’s capability to pay up to 400 times of total bet or Wild’s to present 10.000 coins in return a 5 of a kind winning (it also doubles every wins if it’s involved) but somehow I have a feeling without these two nice awards it’s not a well-paying slot.

The bonuses are not so funny, for example Map bonus needs just 3 picks of locations on a map and in the half of the times when I played it I didn’t get back that cash prize what could have covered my total bet of that spin. Chest bonus is just another fine example how a side game could be schematic and non-interesting. It’s one more ‘pick me’ type game with three chests selections out of 4 that reveals its instant prize. Unfortunately, that’s all that can be said about its features and understandably it can’t energize too much the gamblers.

Jolly Roger can lead me through all 3 phases of evaluation of a slot game. The visual appearance, symbols are just ordinary with some challenges but generally it’s OK, the average payouts, successes, possibilities are not good, almost slide into poor segment but the 2 top prizes must be appreciated and surpass what some other, more famous slots could provide in the same category.
I hope in time my game indicator will be shifted to positive direction because it would mean I could meet with one of the two great awards.
