Adventures of Captain Blackjack

What would you pick if you could get reincarnated as a character in any part of history? I sure know I'll go as a pirate. Pirates were ransacking crews of merry friends who went around the world by sea looking for treasure. They lived a life of adventure and usually sailed at beautiful tropical spots. Many pirate experts now believe that the world's renowned pirates have hidden caches of gold at many locations, and one may have been spotted in Microgaming's Adventures of Captain Blackjack slot.

Of course, it's all virtually and made up for fun and kicks. The online slot has nothing to do with the casino game of the same name, but it is closely related to pirates. That can be seen in the skull'n'bones flag waved high and the Skull Cave free spins round that pays the most significant rewards.

Of course, a glimpse at the slot will tell you it's a pirate game. Set in a beautiful exotic cove far away from official sea routes, you'll be looking for long-lost treasures deep under the sand and sea. Oh, and let's not forget the jackpots, of which there are four. Non-progressive, unfortunately, but still a nice reward.

Playing the Adventures of Captain Blackjack slot is not difficult at all. Microgaming has opted for a straightforward design with a 5x3 reel set and 20 fixed paylines. On the reels, you'll see the crew of ransacking pirates, captain Blackjack himself, as well as cutlasses, cannons, and a skull'n'bones logo. You all – all typical pirate stuff.

The blue marina in the background gives the slot a great look. Atop the reels, you'll see an animated wheel. It's called the Kraken wheel and springs into action later. In the base game, me players should cross their fingers for a combination of wilds and premiums for payouts up to 20x. Every once in a while, you'll come across a Kraken coin. These are collected in a special chest. The more you have, the higher the chances of getting a Kraken Wheel spin.

This feature is available in the base game only – it can’t be triggered during free spins. It’s a regular wheel of rewards that looks pretty similar to those game shows. It’s divided into many segments, each one offering a cash prize. The top four payouts are the jackpots, each one paying:

• Mini – 15x
• Minor – 30x
• Major – 250x
• Mega – 5,000x

This is an entirely random feature, so you have no influence over the results of the spin. The good news is that there's a 5,000x jackpot on offer, so if you're lucky, you can hit it on the first try. There's no limit on the number of Kraken Wheel spins you get. The more coins you collect, the bigger the chances to hit the Mega jackpot.

The jackpots are just the beginning. The Adventures of Captain Blackjack slot has a free spins round that me slick slot spinners can unlock with at least three scatters. You get six free spins for three scatters along with three feature picks. IF you trigger the bonus with 4 or 5 scatters, you get 4, and 5 picks, respectively.

There are a total of 16 picks available, ranging from multipliers to symbol-wild upgrades. Extra spins are also on offer, so take your choice wisely. The selected bonus picks are applied to the bonus before the round begins. Landing additional scatters will result in extra spins.

The free spins round starts with an active x1 multiplier that can go higher if you pick it from the feature list.

Adventures of Captain Blackjack is a great sea adventure with a crew of crazy pirates that can pay handsome wins. While its gameplay feels straightforward, Microgaming has added plenty of picks and other features to make things more exciting.

Plunder the seas now, matey, and take a look on the map to find the long-lost treasure on the tropical island.
