Yggdrasil have moved on from Vikings to another popular group of pillaging folk, for slot themes at least, pirates.Pirates: Smugglers Paradise is one of the newest additions to the growing portfolio of the hugely popular developer, and it feels very different to anything we’ve seen from them so far.
About the slot
Played on a 5×5 grid, Pirates – Smugglers Paradise is a Cluster Pays slot that is playable from 20p to £100 a spin on all compatible desktop, mobile, and tablet devices.As always with Yggdrasil slots, the design is impressive here, with a tropical island (that we assume is Smugglers Paradise) in the background, while the reels are set aboard a pirate ship.Symbols on the reels include the four card suits playing the lower values, while themed symbols include hooks, guns, three pirates, and a parrot.While this is not the most visually striking slot that Yggdrasil has released, it is certainly not without its charm, the cartoon style is different enough from the Vikings series to show the versatility the developer has in terms of design, and the soundtrack brings the slot to life nicely.
Gameplay
Cluster Pays slots have proved immensely popular since NetEnt debuted them a while back, and Yggdrasil have taken that idea and run with it.Not only will clusters of six or more symbols pay out, there’s also a Dropdown Wins feature, meaning when a cluster is formed, all symbols that are not the winning symbol disappear for a re-spin, this will continue if you get more winning symbols, with the multiplier increasing with every win as well.With three different free spins features at play as well, which include extra multipliers, higher value symbols, and more, there’s a lot to love about this exciting and fun slot.
