Playable on mobile, tablet, or desktop, Pirates’ Bounty Megaways offers stakes from 10 p/c to £/€100 per spin. Out the back is the glistening Caribbean Sea, where merchant ships ripe for the plunder would be found. The grid is located on the deck of an old pirate ship, surrounded by barrels, ropes, and burning torches (which seems a bit dangerous on a wooden boat). Pirates’ Bounty Megaways’ setup comprises 6 main reels of up to 7 symbols each which can generate up to 117,649 ways to win, plus a 4 symbol horizontal bonus reel running along the top. The result leaves a strange taste in the mouth. But there are definite similarities, giving it a rather rushed feel, almost as if the studio didn’t have the time or motivation to develop a great pirating game. It’s not a straight clone, some of the features have been altered, and different stats come through. To speed up the process, it appears much of Pirates’ Bounty Megaways has been taken from Blueprint’s UK hit Deal or No Deal Megaways. Developer Blueprint Gaming keeps the Megaways production line hot, releasing a pirate-themed slot using Big Time Gaming’s infamous game engine.
