The Italian design company Capecod Gaming offers adventure on the high seas in Wild Galleon. Set on the deck of a massive wooden ship in the age of sail, this piracy-themed slot will enable players to enrich their bankrolls without fear of sharks, lost limbs, governmental interference, or any of the many workplace perils facing pirates. Bonus features include free spins and a treasure chest bonus round.
Theme
Blue skies and stunning seas portend a bright future in this game’s background, with the wooden decks, many ropes, and heavy sails of the pirate galleon standing behind the reels. Gaming symbols include the Jolly Roger wild symbol, a treasure chest symbol that launches the Magic Spins feature, the steering wheel scatter symbol, and a question mark symbol, which adds a double or triple multiplier to all winning lines. Other symbols are provided by various indicators of profitable trouble: diamonds, crossed swords, a compass, a treasure map, pistols, bottles of grog, lucky sevens, and bar symbols. An epic orchestral soundtrack, replete with timpani and symbol crashes, lends a sense of gravity to this otherwise light-hearted title.
Betting Options and Functions
Pirates are not known for a keen attention to detail. Fortunately, the excellent team at Capecod Gaming has left no stone unturned with regards to this game’s design. There are 15 fixed paylines, with bet per line variable from 0.01–1.00. This yields an overall per-spin bet range of 0.15–15.00 times the betting currency. Autospins are available for up to 1,000 spins at a time, though players should use caution before stepping away from the game, as there are no protections in place for loss limits. The overall theoretical return to player ratio is slightly above the industry average at 95.19%.
Features
There are two main prizes to be won on the ocean of Wild Galleon. The more traditional of these is the Free Spin Bonus Game, which is triggered by the appearance of three or more scatter symbols on the reels. The background to the reels turns a deep red, and ten free spins are awarded, with all wins doubled throughout the feature.
The Magic Spin Bonus Game provides another way to win pirate booty. Three or more of the treasure chest bonus symbols will award between three and ten rounds of the Magic Spin Bonus. Here, players are given a new set of reels, with only one gaming symbol present: the treasure chest. Each chest opens to reveal a random cash prize.
Our Take
Italy isn't known for its piracy, but the patriots at Capecod Gaming don’t let this stop them from delivering the best pirate-themed slot in recent memory. Though the RTP is slightly lower than some other titles from this developer, the abundance of bonus features and charming theme are sure to make this one a classic.
