Avast ye land lubbers! Captain Bronzebeard and his crew are waiting for you to blast off with them! So climb aboard as we race off to regain the attentions of the captain’s wayward wife, the alluring Steel Scarlett, and gain mighty treasures along the way!

Oh, I so love getting into character. I did always want to be an actor. Sigh – shattered dreams of a lost youth … Still, this video slot has allowed me to partially fulfill those mighty ambitions. The slot has been built around a space pirate theme, and the bonus game is absorbing and immersive. Firstly – let’s get the technical mumbo jumbo out of the way. This is a 5 reel, 25 payline video slot. Coin sizes range from 0.01 to 0.25 and you can play up to 20 coins per line. Essentially this means you can play between 0.01 and 125 of your currency per spin. The game boasts free spins and a bonus game which is split up into six parts.

The first thing that grabbed my attention was the beautiful graphics. The game has an introductory video which explains the story, and is the first hint that you are about to embark on a crazy adventure. Every major character, from the captain’s faithful dog Dozer to the Captain himself are present on the reels, and they all animate on a winning combination. Also present are the big “G” symbol, and the lovely Steel Scarlett; which both act as scatters. Now to the bonus features:

· Getting 3 “G” symbols sets off free spins, with a 3x multiplier. During free spins the slot appears to enter hyperspace, with a really funky orange and red streaky background. It’s a nice touch, which was not lost on me.

· The real meat though is in the Bonus game. When you manage to get three Steel Scarlett symbols the ship continues the chase of the captain’s wife from where you left off last time. This game takes you on a journey through 6 different games, each with a theme and a storyline. The entire slot changes on completion of a game, with a different background. It’s really very immersive.

o Game 1: The Astro Bank

It seems that Scarlett has just robbed the bank. What a woman! You get to grab 6 coins on the way out. Basic pick X of Y to get a coin bonus.

o Game 2: Stopping for Gas

Here you have to continue picking squares until you match 4 symbols. There is also a hidden 2x multiplier – if you find it before matching 4 then you double your winnings. Nice!

o Game 3: A bite to eat

The greasy chef will offer you 3 meals – but beware. Once you reject a meal you can’t go back and change your mind. The next bonus may be a lesser reward, and then you’ll be stuck with it. It’s a nice twist on the whole pick one type bonus game; and makes your choice a bit more considered.

o Game 4: Trying our luck

The saloon offers you a “guess the card” type game where you pick if the next card is higher or lower than the preceding one. There is an added bonus of the cards you pull happen to make up a poker hand.

o Game 5: Gambling

Spin the wheel on this one to get a bonus multiplier of your bet. You can get extra spins of the wheel to make it even more rewarding.

o Game 6: Buy her something pretty

And we finish off with a pick X of Y type game. Continue picking gifts until the Credit Card gets maxed out. Once you complete this game you will be allowed to present the lovely Steel Scarlett with a gift, and receive an extra random bonus amount for completing the Grab.

The game has a fantastic concept, and plays really smoothly. The storyline will keep you coming back, and I found the payout to be extremely reasonable. It’s really a great game.
