Blackbeard - Battle of the Seas

ABOUT THE GAME

Blackbeard - Battle of the Seas is a 5 x 3 Video Slot with 20 fixed Paylines with two free spins features named Sea Battle and Super Spins. Which of the two features is chosen is based on the player selecting one of the 3 bonus symbols that landed. One of the three bonus symbols will reveal a Super Spins feature whilst the other two reveal the Sea Battle feature. The base game has a floating skull modifier which can award 4 types of prizes.

FLOATING SKULL MODIFIERS

During the base game spin there is a chance the player will be presented with 3 floating skulls. The player selects one of the skulls and Blackbeard will shoot it to reveal one of four prizes to be spun on to the reels.

  • 5 of a kind: One or more 5 of a kind wins will land on the reels
  • Big Win: A big win will land on the reels
  • Bonus Game: 3 Bonus symbols will land on the reels to award a feature
  • Super Wild: Between 1 and 3 (inclusively) Super Wild symbols will land on the reels

SUPER WILDS

Whenever a Super Wild symbol lands in view it will expand to three symbols high and each of the three-reel cells it occupies will act as a wild symbol.

SEA BATTLE

The objective of the Sea Battle feature is to sink enemy pirate ships and steal their treasure! There are four pirates to beat, the last being Long John Silver. The Sea Battle is infinite free spins and only completes when either the player is sunk or all 4 pirates. Any wins on the reels are played at the lines and bet of the triggering spin. During each battle there will be two wild symbols active. The first being Blackbeard wild and the second being the current pirates wild. For each Blackbeard wild that lands in view Blackbeard will fire his cannons at the enemy ship in attempt to sink them. If the pirate is hit 3 times, he is sunk and the next pirate battle round begins. For each Pirate wild that lands then the enemy ship will shoot cannon balls at the Blackbeard ship. If Blackbeard is hit 7 times, then Blackbeard sinks and the game is over. Blackbeard's health does not reset after he defeats an enemy pirate. If both Blackbeard wilds and Pirate wilds land at the same time, then Blackbeard fires first and then the enemy pirate. It is possible for both Blackbeard and the enemy pirate to be sunk on the same spin. The prizes for beating the first 3 pirates are reel multiplier increases (x2, x3 and x5 respectively) whereas sinking the last pirate awards 50x the player's base stake.

SUPER SPINS

The bonus symbols that triggered the Super Spins game change to Super Wild symbols meaning there are Super Wilds on reels 1, 3 and 5. The player is then awarded between 3 and 10 free spins with these Super Wilds locked in place.
Super Spins are played at the lines and bet of the triggering spin.

BUY A BONUS

Buy a Bonus allows the player to buy straight into either the Sea Battle or Super Spins features. Which of these two features are chosen is randomly selected upon starting the Buy a Bonus game. Buy a bonus costs x80 of the chosen base stake.

HOW TO PLAY

  • Press the Spin button to start the game.

HOW TO CALCULATE PAYLINE WINS

  • To calculate your total payline win, calculate all payline wins and add them together.
  • To calculate a single payline win, count the number of identical symbols lined up in sequence on the line starting from the left most reel.
  • If three or more identical symbols are lined up, find the win value in the dynamic Pay Table. There you can find the value for all symbols for 2 in a row, 3 in a row, 4 in a row and 5 in a row. Only the highest winning combination per line is paid out.
  • If the winning combination starts with three wilds, there can be many ways to interpret the win. In this scenario, only the highest win combination is paid out.
  • The above doesn't include Bonus symbols which do not need to be on a payline to award a prize.
  • After the Free Spins rounds are completed, all wins are added to any win from the game that activated the Free Spins.
