Pirate from the East

Set sails! Once again we’ll take you on a real buccaneer adventure, only this time we’re traveling into the waters of eastern seas and the Indian Ocean. 

Pirate from the East is a modified release of one of the NetEnt’s previous titles and it’s specifically designed for punters in the Far East…

…but that doesn’t mean we can’t like it either, does it? 

It features 5 reels, 3 rows, and 15 fixed paylines and you can play it on desktop, tablets and your mobile devices. 

Clean your muskets and sharpen your swords as we will present you with this title in detail in the following lines. 

Theme and Symbols

Basically, we’re looking at a standard pirate theme with a bit of Eastern flavor. As soon as you boot the game you’ll notice that it’s made for the Asian market – colors are bright and the soundtrack is so familiar (similar to other Asian-themed slots). 

Cannons are flanking the grid on either side and all controls are placed on the wooden planks at the bottom of the screen. 

The two most important symbols are the male (wild) and the female pirate (scatter). The first will replace all the regular symbols except the scatter, and the second activates the free spins feature. 

At the bottom of paytable, we have 10-A royals which can pay up to 4.16x bet followed by bottles, compasses, handguns, blades and treasure chests which are more rewarding. 

Betting Options

To conquer the eastern market, NetEnt has decided to modify Piggy Riches, one of its most popular and played titles. So if you played famous piggy you won’t have any trouble finding your way through this one. 

Pirate from the East features 15 fixed paylines which means you can’t change the number of these during the game. Bets are starting at 0.15 coins and go all the way up to 75 coins per single strike. 

The title’s volatility is set at very high and the theoretical return to player (RTP) is 96.38% which is pretty good. The main prize in the game is a 2.000x bet.

Features

There’s only one slight difference compared to the original release in terms of available features and it can pull up to 2.000x bet. 

Three, four or five scatters will trigger the Free Spins round and pay 4x, 15x, and 100x bet respectively. 

But wait, that’s not all! 

After you land those scatters you’ll have three options for the bonus round: 

∙ 22 free spins and x2 multiplier;

∙ 15 free spins and x3 multiplier;

∙ 9 free spins and x5 multiplier;

Don’t forget that any additional scatter will grant you 1 extra free spin! 

Of course, Wild is a standard substitute for all regular symbols and it can also bring a 3x multiplier. 

Wrapping Up

Even though it is reskinned, Pirate from the East is a good video slot. You can win up to 2.000x bet by triggering up to 28 free spins paired with 6x multiplier. Not bad, huh? 

NetEnt did a pretty good job with the original title and we hope that this one will be that popular too.
