Quickspin is a game provision brand with a reputation for premium quality online slots. This Pirate’s Charm ensemble is a classic example of this kind of slot title which embodies fine 3D graphics to tell the tale on both desktop and mobile devices. The entertainment value doesn’t stop there, however, offering a fine balance of features, such as sticky mystery charm symbols, respins, and a free spin bonus.

Review of Pirate's Charm

This 5-reel game makes matches over 243 pay ways. Instead of traditional patterned paylines on this pirate-themed slot, all you need to do in order to make a win is land 3 or more matching symbols anywhere one consecutive adjacent paylines from the left most reel to the right. Wins are therefore not calculated per bet line but on the total stake of between 0.20 and 100.

The game RTP is 96.49% and the variance is medium to high. This means that although the odd small win will register here and there, there could be long periods that are void of wins. When the wins do come, however, they are rather decent. A grand place to haul in bigger wins is in the free spin round.

Pirate’s Charm Theme, Soundtrack and Symbols

Before even registered the visuals on the screen, we identified a familiar sounding tune coming from the game. The question you might pose at this stage when hearing what we did is… “Is this Pirates of the Caribbean, I am playing?” The theme tune is so similar to the pirate-themed movie. Surely this is no coincidence or mistake for that matter, as trading off of the Disney franchise can prove to be quite profitable, I’m sure. The upbeat and catchy beat will get you in the mood for swashbuckling sword fights, musket shots, and cannon blasts. Unfortunately, the game does not animate the way one’s imagination might in this instance.

Roll up the screen and the theme is evident. The reels are placed on the wooden deck of a pirate ship that is entering a still harbour in the early dawn. The architecture of the buildings in the background is reminiscent of a colonial harbour town, and the sailing ships docked in the port means that this is a stopover for many a sea dog. The graphics are quite crisp and immersive.

The graphics are quite crisp and immersive and game symbols are where the action rolls in. Each of the higher value icons is in keeping with the pirate theme, with icons including Captain Blackbeard, a patched pirate maiden, the ships first mate, a skull and daggers symbol, and the ship's wheel that might steer you onto to wins.

The lower value icons are common card deck symbols (10 – A). It is just beyond us why so many game makers opt to use such generic icons when it is clear that many other thematic symbols could have been used instead. Perhaps there could have been a cannon or a treasure chest, or a peg leg, or anything besides these letters. But, let’s not let this shortfall spoil the entire game, after all, we have forgiven many other slots for doing the same in the past.

The special game symbols include a Bonus Scatter Sailing Ship, which is key to activating the main game feature. There is no WILD per se, but a Mystery Charm Symbol can land, which will transform into one of the other game symbols in aid of completing winning combinations.

Special Features

Special features are just as important, if not more important, than good graphics in a game. Modern slot players seek entertainment, so a game with a few features is sure to keep them intrigued for a while, at least. Fortunately, this Quickspin game has a few extra tricks up its sleeve in this department.

Extra Mystery

On any random base game spin, the reels could attract a few extra Mystery Charm Symbols onto the reels to try and complete more wins than normally possible.

Mystery Charm Re-Spins

If mystery charm symbols land on reels 1, 2, and 3 on the same spin, the symbols will stick in place, while the rest of the tiles re-spin to provide another chance of winning rewards. If any more of these special symbols appear on the reels while this is happening, it will trigger a further re-spin. The game will resume as normal when Mystery Charms stop landing on screen.

Stormy Free Spins

This is the main feature for the game. We say this because free spins usually give the best wins and are commonly the most sought-after bonus feature by slot players.

To get in on the fun here, you will need to land 3 of the Sailing Ship scatter symbols anywhere in view over the reels in the same spin. This will in turn trigger 10 free spins.

Any Mystery Charm symbols that happen upon the reels in this round will lock in place on the reels for the remainder of the feature. Unfortunately, this bonus round cannot re-trigger and you will have to play from the base game with fingers crossed that it will soon land again.

Jackpots

The jackpot in a game is the highest win available over a single payline. In Pirate’s Charm, the top haul of five symbols over consecutive reels is 5x Total stake. On a €100 wager, that could rack you up to €500 per line. The maximum win concession of the game is 2,000.

Game Verdict 

If you are a lover of all things ‘Pirate’, then you must give this game ago, especially if you are a fan of ‘The Pirates of the Caribbean’ franchise. Be aware of the game variance though and treat each wager with respect, keeping in mind that careless bankroll management will leave you bankrupt within minutes. So, beginners and novices STAY AWAY for your own good!

The special features in the game do well to reap rewards. The Mystery Charm is sure to excite, and it is awesome that it arrives as a select feature in the base game and an added feature in the main feature round, too.
