Play Captain Black Bart's Treasure for Free

Not everything in online gaming has to be complicated, sometimes wins can come from simple matches of between three and five; what us pirates call simple maps. These maps only consist of 10 symbols, of which most of them are valued above 100 credits, with the 9, 10, J and Q being the exceptions. As for the lowest win you can expect to get, that would be 3 credits for three of the 9 tiles.

The K and A icons are the ones you’ll want to find out of all the markers upon your maps for they gift you between 15 and 200 coins, which isn’t bad for the lower half of a pay table. Of course, if you’re seeking out sacks of gold, you’ll need to take to your specialist maps in search of the illustrious tiles within.

As you’d imagine with such a unique set of maps, only four symbols can be found, with the maximum pay out being priced at 500 credits. This is a pretty decent sum for a small slot machine like Captain Black Bart’s Treasure; when we say small, we mean low impact title. Sometimes slot machines are made like films – there’s intended blockbusters and then you have the B flicks, in this scenario Captain Black is the B movie.

Even though you’ve worked your way through all the maps, there’s still special features to be found upon those reels, in the form of free spins. This feature level will give you a range of chests to crack open, with the contents of each varying in value, some are measly and others are legendary.

The golden skull can get you x50 of your stake, which if you bet the largest amount, could be massive. And then you have the expanding wilds that can pop up during the course of the free waves.

But wait, there’s more, something called Wild Reels. This a very exclusive feature that needs all 5-reels to be filled with Black Bart, manage that and you’ll get x2,000 your wager! That is an amazing pay out for such an average slot machine, and so color us impressed. All in all, this is a high variance game.

You don’t have to exceed paying over 4 coins in Captain Black Bart’s Treasure, meaning you never give your weight in gold to be part of the crew. This is yet another refreshing side of the title as it doesn’t require a high pay-in for you to merely enjoy the spoils of pirating. As for the minimum you can play with, that’s a cheap 0.01. There’s no maximum bet widget, which is a minor issue that will likely put potential gamers off.

Users can also alter whether they work with the full 25 win lines or not, as well as whether they play automatically or hands on. Personally, we enjoy having our hands free to do other things, but sometimes the sea demands a sturdy hand. During these highly strung moments, you can stop the auto spins and use your mouse/space-bar again.

Pirating is in the blood - you either have it of you don’t, and with Captain Black Bart’s Treasure, you most certainly need to have it. We actually like this game, despite a lackluster finish, but it wouldn’t be one we return to, simply because other activities are better.
