If you want to find out more about this voyage across the ocean of adventure then read this Pirates’ Plenty Battle For Gold slot review. It should tell you whether you’re destined to take home the treasure or just end up as food for the sharks in Davy Jones’ Locker.

The Pirates’ Plenty: Battle For Gold slot is played on grid with 5 reels and 4 rows. There are 20 paylines, but this can rise to 30 when the game’s extra row appears. That’s a detail of the game that we’ll look at in more detail later on.  The game has an autoplay function, and this can be customised to run for a certain number of spins, or until you have lost a certain amount of money. The minimum bet that you can place is 20p and the maximum is £20. Red Tiger state that the calculated maximum multiplier in the game is 5501x.

There is an extensive help section and detailed pay table available too. These can be accessed via the ‘Help’ and ‘Pays’ tabs that are located at the bottom of the screen. You can find plenty of detail about how the game’s bonus features work here too, something which is always useful to have to hand.

What is the Pirates’ Plenty Battle For Gold Slot RTP?

The RTP of the Pirates’ Plenty Battle For Gold game is 95.72%. This might look a little on the low side for a game of this type, but many Red Tiger slots have an RTP rate of below 96%. Other examples include Atlantis, which has an RTP of 95.77%, and Dynamite Riches, which is set at 95.70%.

The game is highly volatile, with Red Tiger awarding it a rating of 5 out of 5 in this regard. As you would expect these days, it can be played on a wide range of mobile devices without the overall quality of the game being affected. The game is a relatively new addition to Red Tiger’s collection of slots, having been released in August 2019.

We were very impressed with the way that the Pirates’ Plenty Battle For Gold slot looked. There is a classiness to the visuals in this game that give a real sheen of quality. All the symbols on the reels are detailed and the animation is very slick and smooth. The reels are set in the window of a pirate ship, and you can see lamps swinging and treasure coins twinkling in the backdrop. A stormy sunset sky is behind the reels, which adds a pleasing touch of detail and helps to create an immersive atmosphere.

The symbols on the reels float in front of the sky view. The lower value symbols are playing card suit symbols on small gold coins. The higher value symbols are all items associated with the pirate’s life, so you’ll see a bottle of rum, crossed pistols, a cannon, a pirate’s hat and an ornate skull and crossbones. There are also several special symbols to watch out for, and we’ll look at those in more detail in the next section of this review.

When it comes to the sound in the game, you are treated to a suitably dramatic Hollywood movie type theme. It helps to set the scene but will grate after a while. All the other sound effects in the game are pretty unremarkable though solid enough when it comes to helping set the scene. More sound effects play during the game’s many bonus features, which are something we will look at in detail next.

One aspect of the Pirates' Plenty Battle For Gold slot game that we really enjoyed was the number of bonus features. Unlike some other Red Tiger slots, there is a free spins feature in this game. But that is not all, as you can also benefit from treasure map-related entertainment. We’ll give you the full details here.

Map Symbols and Wild Island Row

The Wild Island Row is the extra row that can appear on the reels and boost the number of paylines from 20 to 30. While this row remains locked away, special map symbols can appear on any spin. Each map symbol that you collect moves the pirate ship along the treasure map that hides the extra row. Once you have collected 50 map symbols, the extra row is unlocked for all future spins at the same stake. You can keep track of your progress on the treasure map. The symbols cannot appear during the Battle Spins bonus feature, however.

Wild Symbols

When the Wild Island Row is unlocked, extra wild symbols will appear on the reels. Some of these will appear with win multipliers in place of x2, x3, x4 or x5. If more than one of these wild symbols with multipliers appear on one win line then the multiplier values are combined. If 2 x3 symbols appear together, for example, the win multiplier is increased to x9. These can therefore be very lucrative in terms of the prizes that they can bring you.

Wild Monkey

It’s well worth watching out for the monkey symbol. When this special symbol appears on the reels it will remove all lower value symbols from the reels and replace them with high value ones. The monkey symbol will then remain in place in the position on the reels of the last removed symbol. It will also apply a multiplier for you, so this is one generous monkey. It can appear at any time during the base game but not during the Battle Spins feature.

Battle Spins

There is a special Battle Spins symbol that appears on the reels to trigger this game’s free spins feature. If 3 of the Battle Spins symbols appear anywhere on the reels then you are awarded a random number of free spins. Blackbeard the pirate can also appear on the reels during these spins, which take place during a sea battle, hence their name. When Blackbeard appears, he will throw bombs onto the reels. These will remain sticky for the rest of the round and can also bring additional multipliers to boost any wins you collect. They can also award extra free spins.

Fire! Symbol

The Fire! Symbol appears on the reels during the Battle Spins feature. Cannonballs are fired when it appears. These cannonballs will land on the reels and turn into wild symbols, or they will hit the ship opposite to award you an extra free spin. Up to 2 of these symbols can appear at any time during the feature. If they land on other wild symbols they will add a multiplier or increase the multiplier that is already in place.

Fire Away

This refers to Blackbeard the pirate appearing on the reels during the Battle Spins. Fire Away is when he throws his bombs onto the reels. You can read about how this helps you in the section on Battle Spins above.

We really enjoyed playing this game, so this Pirates’ Plenty Battle For Gold slot review is going to end on a very positive note. Unlike other Red Tiger titles, there are plenty of bonus features to enjoy in this slot. Wild monkey symbols, pirates lobbing bombs and a free spins feature set in a sea battle give you an idea of just how entertaining this slot can be. We recommend that you give this game, which also looks great, a go as soon as possible.
