Buccaneers Bounty

One of the earliest video slots online with a bonus feature, Buccaneers Bounty offers a 10,000 coin top jackpot and uses the five reel, five line format. It has one major difference from most of the slots online today. The winning combinations pay even if the symbols are not in consecutive order on a line.

This means that there are many more ways to win on each and every spin. For example if you hit 7, 7, Q, K, 7 on a pay line you still get the win for the three seven symbols. This makes for a really high hit rate since all combinations start at three symbols to win.

The game offers a great range of betting options. Just like video slots at land-based casinos you can choose to bet on any or all of the five lines and choose to bet between one and five coins per line. To make things easier you can also hit the max bet button which instantly bets the 25 coin max and spins the reels.

When Buccaneers Bounty was originally released it had a minimum coin size of ten cents. This has now been lowered to a penny so you can be playing max bet for as little as a quarter. The coin sizes also go up to $5 so if you have a big bankroll you can bet up to $125 per spin for maximum winnings.

The game has a pirate theme. All symbols relate to this with cannons, pirates, treasure chests, skull and crossbones flags and wine bottles appearing on the reels. There is no wild symbol but there is a treasure map which pays if it appears anywhere on the reels.

The highest jackpot is won by lining up five treasure chests on an active line. This pays 10,000 times your line bet or up to 50,000 coins at max bet. At the $5 coin size this is a huge $250,000 win, at the penny size it is still a cool $500. Second highest pay is 2,500 times your line bet for five pirates

The treasure map landing anywhere on the reels takes you to the bonus game. On the second screen you get to see a pirate with some treasure chests. You get to click on one of the chests (View Second Screen) to reveal your bonus prize. The amount you can win varies widely, you only get to choose one chest and do not get to see what the others were which is probably a good thing.

Buccaneers Bounty is a great video slot to play if you are new to the game type as you can be playing max for just 25 cents while enjoying all of the games features. The bonus screen game hits very frequently to add to the fun.
