Jawsome Pirates

Jawsome Pirates is an underwater-themed pirate slot developed by Bullshark Games. The game features a 5×4 grid layout with 20 paylines, set against the backdrop of a sunken ship on the ocean floor. The atmosphere is dank and bubbly, creating an immersive underwater pirate experience.

The symbols in the game include low-paying card ranks 10-A with a pirate theme, as well as higher-paying symbols such as anchors, hooks, swords, treasure bags, and treasure chests. The treasure chest is the highest-paying regular symbol, offering 10 times the bet for five of a kind.

Wild symbols in Jawsome Pirates serve a dual purpose. They can substitute for any regular pay symbol and also offer payouts of 10x the bet for five of a kind. The game introduces a special type of wild called the Collector Wild, which plays a crucial role in activating features.

Scatter symbols are present in the game and are key to triggering the free spins feature.

The slot incorporates several bonus features:

• Collector Wild: This special wild opens any Mystic Chests on the grid when it lands. Only one Collector Wild can appear at a time.
• Mystic Chests: These can reveal one of three outcomes when opened:
  • Expanding Wild: Turns the entire reel wild.
  • Instant Win: Awards an immediate prize of 5x to 100x the bet.
  • Wild Boost: Acts as a wild and adds 2 to 6 wild or Multiplier Wilds to the grid. Multiplier values range from x1 to x100.
• Jawsome Free Spins: Triggered by landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols, awarding 8, 10, or 12 free spins respectively. During this feature, the Collector Wild remains on the screen and moves to a new location at the start of each spin. Each additional scatter awards an extra free spin.
• Bonus Buy: Players can choose from five different bonus buy options, including increased chances of triggering free spins, guaranteed Collector Wilds and Mystic Chests, or direct access to the free spins feature.

The game employs a cascade mechanic, where winning symbols are removed and replaced by symbols dropping from above, potentially creating multiple wins from a single spin.

Jawsome Pirates offers a medium volatility experience with an RTP of 96.28% when playing without bonus buys. The maximum win potential is 12,000x the bet, achievable in all game modes.

A particularly interesting feature of Jawsome Pirates is the interaction between the Collector Wilds and Mystic Chests, creating a dynamic and potentially rewarding gameplay experience, especially during the free spins feature where the Collector Wild remains active throughout.
