Usually, story of a hidden gold is associated to the pirates and in the video slot Tortuga Gold made by Oryx Gaming, your job is to earn as much money as possible!
Theme
From the moment you enter the game, you will realize that pirates are used as the theme. In the background, the island is seen in front, with the ship slowly approaching. The night is starry and the green color gives it the mysterious element!
The reels are placed in the middle and the symbols are positioned against the wooden board, possibly made of the sunken ship! In the meantime, the symbols can be divided into low- and high-paying ones. The low-paying symbols include playing card numbers made of bones, whereas the high-paying symbols are stolen treasure, cargo ship and Tortuga Island with five pirate crew members.
The design is slightly cartoonish, but it fits the theme perfectly. The pirates look scary, haunted and thrilling at the same time while the sounds are mediocre.
