Design and Theme
🖼️ Graphics
The slot captures the essence of old pirate adventures: a wooden ship deck, the sea on the horizon, and flags fluttering in the wind. The symbols are large and metallic — skulls, ships, krakens, and gold coins shine against bright card symbols. Everything looks clean, polished, and perfectly readable, with no unnecessary clutter.
🎶 Sound
The soundtrack is built around a cheerful pirate tune with drums and brass instruments, playing almost continuously. It maintains the sense of a treasure quest and keeps the game’s tempo alive. Each spin brings mechanical clicks and coin jingles, while during cascades the music swells slightly, amplifying the thrill of every successful drop.

Special Symbols
To understand how to play Pirates Bounty Megaways, it’s best to start with the special symbols:
- Wild (golden frame with “WILD”) — substitutes for all standard symbols to form or extend winning combinations.
- Mystery Symbol (skull on a purple background) — appears randomly and transforms into one of the regular symbols (except the Bonus symbol).
- Scatter (Bonus emblem) — appears only during Free Spins and grants additional spins depending on how many land on the reels.
Bonus Game
Each win in Pirates Bounty Megaways moves the player along the Bonus Trail. Consecutive wins increase your level, while a break in the chain resets your progress.
- 4 consecutive wins — activates the Bonus.
- 5 wins in a row — triggers the Super Bonus.
- 6 in a row — unlocks the Mega Bonus, the most rewarding tier.
Once triggered, you enter the Bounty Wheel — a prize wheel divided into levels and rewards. Before spinning, you choose one of three stones:
- Arrow — adds an extra arrow, improving your chance to advance to the next wheel tier.
- Boost — increases prize values or adds more free spins.
- Spin — starts the wheel.
Landing on an Arrow lets you move up, where the prizes and spin counts are higher. At the centre of the wheel lies the top reward — up to 20 Free Spins. However, not every result triggers Free Spins — the wheel can also land on a cash prize sector, awarding an instant multiplier instead.
During Free Spins, there’s an unlimited win multiplier, which increases by +1 after every winning cascade. Additional Scatters can land on the top row of reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, awarding extra spins:
- 3 Scatters — +5 Free Spins
- 4 Scatters — +10 Free Spins
RTP, Volatility, Max Win
RTP — 96.50%. The volatility isn’t officially stated, but based on gameplay, Pirates Bounty Megaways can be classified as medium-to-high variance. The maximum win is capped at x250,000 your bet.
Our Verdict
Pirates Bounty Megaways is a quintessential Blueprint release — polished visuals, cascading reels, and a bonus that takes its time to trigger. The Bonus Trail looks intriguing, but in practice, it often stalls after the second or third cascade. The Wheel of Modifiers adds unpredictability — sometimes rewarding free spins, other times landing on a modest bet multiplier instead.
The bonus round can build momentum over time, especially when extra scatters come into play, and occasionally delivers long, thrilling runs of free spins. However, this is a slot that demands patience — long dry streaks are perfectly normal here.
For players seeking more control, The Dog House Megaways offers two distinct bonus modes and different wild mechanics. If you prefer something simpler and more straightforward, Gonzo’s Quest Megaways delivers similar cascading action — minus the multi-layered wheels and trails.
