Sail the Megaways Seas with Wild Ways Expansion
Red Tiger's third installment in their popular Pirates Plenty series takes swashbuckling to new heights by incorporating Big Time Gaming's Megaways mechanic. Pirates' Plenty Megaways transforms the series with an expanded grid that can deliver up to 200,704 ways to win when fully unlocked, setting it apart from previous adventures while maintaining the charm that made the series successful.
The Expanding World of Pirates' Plenty Megaways
Pirates' Plenty Megaways invites players aboard a beautifully detailed pirate vessel where the action unfolds on the ship's deck. Red Tiger has crafted an immersive environment featuring ornate staircases curving around the reels, leading to the poop deck. The attention to detail is remarkable, with gold coins, treasure chests, and bombs scattered throughout—evidence of the crew's profitable exploits.
The game uses the standard Megaways configuration with 6 reels holding between 2 and 7 symbols each, potentially creating up to 117,649 ways to win. However, a unique aspect is the unlockable Wild Ways feature that adds an additional row across the top of reels 2-5, boosting the maximum ways to an impressive 200,704.
With stakes ranging from 10p/c to £/$/€10, the game maintains the high volatility characteristic of the series but rewards patient sailors with a favorable 96% RTP—higher than many Red Tiger offerings.
Treasures and Features in Pirates' Plenty Megaways
The symbol collection stays true to the series' roots with card suits as low-value symbols, while premium symbols showcase pirate paraphernalia including poison bottles, pistols, smoking cannons, elaborate hats, and skulls. Six matching premium symbols award between 0.8x and 3.5x your stake.
The game introduces three different wild symbols, each bringing unique mechanics:
- The Wild Monkey appears randomly, removing all low-paying symbols and then locking in place for the current spin sequence.
- Collecting Treasure Map symbols moves a ship along a map above the reels. When the journey completes, you unlock Wild Ways and gain access to the powerful Lady Anne Wilds.
- Lady Anne Wilds appear on the bonus reel at the top, expanding to cover entire reels with multipliers between x3 and x8. If not used in a win immediately, they remain locked in place until they contribute to a winning combination.
The cascading reels mechanism clears winning symbols and allows new ones to fall into place, potentially creating consecutive wins from a single spin.
Pirates' Plenty Megaways Free Spins Adventure
Landing three scatter symbols awards 9 free spins, with each additional scatter granting 3 extra spins up to a maximum of 18. During free spins, an increasing win multiplier starts at x1 and rises by 1 with every winning cascade, creating the potential for substantial payouts.
What makes this bonus round particularly exciting is that scatters remain in play, offering opportunities to retrigger the feature and extend your voyage toward the maximum win of 10,489x your stake.
Visual Splendor and Atmosphere of the High Seas
The visual presentation of Pirates' Plenty Megaways immerses players in the golden age of piracy with a richly detailed ship setting. The game's color palette features deep woods, gold accents, and nautical elements that create an authentic pirate atmosphere. Though it lacks some of the warmth of its predecessor Battle for Gold, the game compensates with increased technical sophistication.
The reels are set against elaborately carved wooden panels, with gold-framed symbol positions that pop against the dark background. The ship's deck is littered with coins, creating a sense of abundant treasure waiting to be claimed. The map above the reels adds both visual interest and gameplay importance, giving players a clear goal as they collect treasure map symbols.
The symbols themselves are meticulously designed with the premium symbols particularly standing out. The skull symbol sports a red bandana, while the elegant captain's hat includes feather plumage. The pistols and cannons have intricate detailing, showcasing the craftsmanship pirates demanded of their weapons. These visual elements are complemented by a rousing soundtrack of sea shanties and orchestral themes that enhance the maritime adventure feeling.
