Play Jack the Pirate for Free

Pirate games often involve a scowling, haggard man who’s been scarred by the long years at sea and the cruel battles he’s fought. But Jack the Pirate offers an entirely more cheerful view of the pirating world with a young mustachioed lad whose cutlass is almost bigger than him!

Spade Gaming have created an almost childlike feel to the game which provides it with an innocent air of enjoyment, allowing players to indulge in an unthreatening play.

The background is made up of a weathered map, with the traditional “X” marking the spot where the treasure lies. It's up to you to sail your ship across the choppy seas to reach the gold before anyone else. Are you up to the job?

On the reels you’ll find a whole host of symbols to accompany you on your expedition including Jack himself, a parrot wearing a bandanna, a telescope, the ship’s wheel and a treasure chest too.

When you spin the wheels a happy little sea shanty rings out, spurring you along on your way.

No pirate worth his salt goes on a voyage without having some idea of what treasure awaits, so before you set out take some time to look through the paytable.

Here you’ll find how to win a prize, with some symbols paying out for a match of two while others needing a match of three or more. The more symbols you match the bigger the prize will be; the top payout is for five matching symbols of the ship, earning you a hearty 5,000.

Jack doesn’t have a value when spun on his own, instead he acts as the wild symbol. This means he can take the place of any of the other symbols on the board helping you to match up a winning line. As an added bonus, when you use Jack to make up a line, you’ll get double the prize money too!

The treasure chest is the scatter and when you spin two or more your bet will be multiplied to calculate your win. Landing 2, 3, 4 or 5 will win you a multiplier of x1, 5, 10 or 100 respectively.

Once you’ve finished surveying the possible treasure, return to your ship and get ready to take the wheel.

But just before you set off on spinning the reels there’s just one more task for you to complete: specifying your betting preferences.

You’ll be playing on 5 reels configured in a standard 5x3 layout with up to nine paylines available. The plus and minus buttons below the reels allow you to change this if you’d rather play with less.

You can also opt to play with between 1.00 and 20.00 for the value of the coin, giving you the chance to bet low or high.

If you’re planning on spending a while at sea, you can switch on the Auto Play facility so that you don’t have to click on the reels every turn. This allows each turn to begin automatically so you can simply take it easy and wait for your prizes to pile up!

Auto Play can be switched off with just one click whenever you want to regain control and it won’t affect your chances of a win.

Another useful function is the demo mode which allows you to try out Jack the Pirate before signing up to the live game. You’ll be playing within a simulated environment with a pile of virtual cash, so you can bet just like the real thing. You won’t be able to win any actual cash prizes but you can familiarize yourself with how the game plays. This could be an advantage for when you start to play in the real money mode and might even improve your chances of a win!

Jack the Pirate by Spade Gaming is a upbeat video slot which is rather cartoon like and innocent, which is a large part of its appeal. There’s a shortage of extra features and bonuses so the game might feel rather too basic for more advanced players.
