Play Jolly Roger for Free

The Jolly Roger slot game has 15 paylines, which allows you to select from 1 payline and up if you wish. You can choose your coin value, and also spin up to 5 coins per line. The smallest is 1c and 1 coin per line – making 15c for the full lines for each spin. You can go all the way up to $18.75c per spin if you wish. Auto play is available, and this can be configured to stop at pre-defined win or loss limits.

The Jolly Roger (skull and crossbones) flag is by far the most valuable symbol in this game. This is worth 10000 coins for all 5 and 1000 for just 4. It is also wild, substituting for all the regular symbols – though not the scatter or bonus symbols. Any wins which include this flag are doubled.

Of the regular symbols the diamond has the biggest prize; this is worth 1250 for 5, with the ruby ring bringing 500 and the gold coin 250. The pirate, ship, cannon and swords bring in the smaller wins. There are no playing card symbols on this game – a nice touch from

Scatters are a colorful parrot in a hat. With 5 of these anywhere on the reels of the Jolly Roger slot machine you will win 500 times your total bet amount. The remaining symbols trigger the bonuses. There are 3 parts of a treasure map which appear on the first 3 reels. Collecting all 3 takes you to the map bonus. Chests trigger a different bonus game; you need 3, 4 or 5 and can win bigger prizes in the game the more chests you get to trigger the feature.

Both bonus games of the Jolly Roger slot simply let you choose to win prizes, though visually they could not be more different. The map bonus takes you to an old treasure map which has 5 red crosses on it. You get to choose 3 of these in turn, and will hear the noise of pirates digging and see puffs of dust rise. Your win amount is revealed for each place you dig. These crosses will move when you trigger the bonus again, at least adding a little interest.

The chest bonus simply gives you 5 chests to choose from in a jewel-filled cave. You get 2 picks, and the size of your prizes varies depending on how many chests you got to trigger the feature. With 5 chests you can win up to 4000 coins, with 4 chests 3000 max and 3 chests limits your max win to 2000 coins.

These are quick and easy games, and you’ll be back to the main reels of the Jolly Roger slot very quickly to enjoy your wins.

This is not the best pirate slot we have ever played, though it does score high for doing the basics well and overall smooth gameplay. The Jolly Roger slot machine could do with a make-over, bringing it up to a level that the current slots enjoy and adding some more interesting bonus games. Pick-ems might have been new all those years ago – though now it does feel very simplistic.

Worth a spin if you enjoy Play'n GO slot titles, or pirate-themed slots – though certainly not up there with the best in their range.
