Quickspin gave its best to combine the theme with its trademark reel matrix and mechanics. The result is an amusing game, easily played, with outstanding features and brawny technicalities.
The design is amazing as well. The backdrop shows a sunny day on a tropical island. On the reels, you get to meet your crew. A couple of pirates are accompanied by charming animals typically found on a pirate ship. And who said women are not welcome aboard?
