Join the band of buccaneers and head to an overseas adventure with the Pirate Kingdom Megaways slot.

It's also packed with a free spin round, a reel lock feature and a few multipliers. If that's not enough to get your interest, note that Pirate Kingdom Megaways can have up to 117,640 active paylines. To learn more about this game's bonus mechanics, as well as all technical details, such as RTP, volatility and wager limits, check out our Pirate Kingdom Megaways slot review. 

Since this game uses the Megaways mechanics, it can hold between 2 and 7 symbols on each of its 6 reels. A set up like this opens up a way for as much as 117,649 paylines, which should be enough to thrill even the most versed casino players. You can start wagering at Pirate Kingdom Megaways for £0.20, while the maximum bet limit is £25 per spin. It seems that this Iron Dog slot favours players who like to take it slow, so high-rollers should probably look for games with higher wager limits. 

Autoplay on this slot is as good as it gets. Not only that it lets you set up to 999 automated spins, but it also comes with several other useful features. You can set autoplay to stop when: 

• You get a winning payline
• After a certain single win
• If cash increases by a set amount
• If cash decreases by a set amount
• When you enter any special feature 

Iron Dog made sure the Pirate Kingdom Megaways slot runs equally smooth on desktop computers, phones and tablets, as well as on all major operating systems. 

Pirate Kingdom Megaways RTP and Volatility

With an RTP of 96.2%, Pirate Kingdom Megaways is barely above the market standards. So in case you're searching for a more favourable game, check out our 1429 Uncharted Seas slot review. This Thunderkick's slot comes with a jaw-dropping RTP of 98.6%. 

Pirate Kingdom Megaways is a medium to high variance slot, which in combination with above the average RTP means that this slot is capable of giving you even a few huge wins in a short time span. 

As you could probably guess by now, Pirate Kingdom Megaways is full of ships, wild seas and pirate motives. The graphics are sharp and have a lot of small details. However, this isn't the best-looking pirate slot on the market. For example, we liked Pragmatic's Pirate Gold much more. The main visual flaw of Pirate Kingdom Megaways is the background. It looks like a stormy sea with pirate ships, but all of the animations seem very basic and unattractive. We would expect from a slot released in 2019 to have a bit smoother looks. Apart from that, Pirate Kingdoms Megaways feels pretty good, with its cartoonish artwork and vibrant colours, so we can say it's visually acceptable even for modern standards. 

The soundtrack is one of the best parts of this game. It's slow but very engaging, like something you would expect to hear in an old pirate movie. Another nice touch are sounds of waves in the background, which perfectly adds up to the atmosphere of the slot.

Playing Pirate Kingdom Megaways was an overall pleasant experience, but if you want to try some other great pirate-themed games, we recommend you the above mentioned Pirate Gold, as well as NetEnt’s Ghost Pirates and Quickspin's Pirate Charm. 

Slot Symbols 

The top-paying symbols are 3 cartoonish-looking pirates, a treasure chest and a ship's wheel. On the opposite side of the paytable, you'll find classic card symbols and numbers, which are all redesigned to match the surroundings. The highest-paying symbol is Pirate Captain that can give you up to 500 coins in case you land all 6 of them. You won't find a Scatter in this game, but there are two Wild symbols. We will talk more about them in the following section. 

Pirate Kingdom Megaways has only 1 free spin round, but don't let that fool you into thinking that this is just another dull slot game. The central part of this game is the Tumbling feature, which is triggered every time there is a winning payline. All the symbols from the winning combination will be removed from the reels, and new ones will start falling from above to fill the missing spots. The Tumbling feature can retrigger indefinitely, as long as there are new winning paylines popping up.

However, this isn't anything new. There are almost identical features in many other slots, such as Gonzo's Quest and Medusa Megaways, just under a different name. 

You'll also find two wild symbols spinning on the reels: 

• The Muscat Wild - Substitutes for all other symbols in the base game and the free spins round. It can appear on the reels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. 
• The 2x Wild - It also substitutes for all other symbols, but up to 3 2x Wilds can appear only during the base game. Each one of them gives you a 2x multiplier, and they even multiply each other. So, if you land all 3 of them, it would result in an 8x multiplier. This Wild can pop up on the reels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. 

Free Spins

You'll trigger free spins round any time there are at least 4 Tumbles in a row. That will grant you 8 free spins, while any additional Tumble adds another 2 bonus spins, up to the maximum of 14 free games. You can easily follow your progress by looking at the free spins meter on the right side of the reels.  

You can retrigger free spins by having another 4 or more Tumbles during the bonus round. This time 4 of them in a row awards 2 free spins, while each one after that gives you 2 more bonus spins. The max number of retriggered free spins is also 14. 

During free spins, every reel with 7 symbols locks in place until the end of the bonus round. When that happens, you'll be granted 1 additional multiplier. Also, at the last free spin, you get 1 extra respin for each of the locked reels. In our experience, the best way to secure massive winnings is by getting as many locked reels as possible, and in that way rising both multipliers and number of active paylines.  

If you're too eager to wait, Iron Dog offers an option to buy your way into this round. Just select 'Buy Free Spins' button in the upper right corner of the screen and choose how many free spins and locked reels you want to purchase. Note that this feature isn't available at every online casino.

Pirate Kingdom Megaways is a fun looking game we would recommend to anyone who likes megaways slots. It's not the best slot game of this kind, but its specific bonus mechanics makes it very interesting to play. We would love it even more if the bonus rounds were more rewarding since 8 to 14 free spins won't bring any excitement to more experienced slot players. The Pirate Kingdom Megaways slot is a very dynamic game with an unusual bonus mechanics, so we believe you won't regret it if you give it a chance.
