What Our Reviewer Says …

An eerie pirate slot that was tighter than we expected!

What We Like

  • Excellent 12,000x max win for a mid-variance slot

What We Didn't Like

  • Lower RTP at some slot sites
  • Low win rate in testing

Theme and Design

Jawsome Pirates is everything you’d hope for from a pirate slot. The base game takes place in the murky depths of the ocean. There’s a green tint to the waters and the shadow of a shipwreck in the background. It feels adventurous and ominous all in one, especially with the addition of a skeleton (complete with pirate hat) in the corner of the screen.

When you move to the free spins round it seems as though your adventures in the shipwreck have paid off. The reels now sit atop pirate gold with a warmer glow as you look out through the bow of the ship. There’s nothing particularly weird or wild about this slot, if you’re looking for that then the famous Pirots games might be more up your street, but rather this is a well-done classic that traditional pirate slots fans will love.

RTP and Variance

The default RTP of 96.28% is generous, though do watch out for some slot site operators that run the game at the lower rate of 94.30%. The latter option is below average and would definitely take away from the otherwise nicely balanced maths of Jawsome Pirates. This online slot combines a solid RTP with medium volatility suggesting a relatively even win distribution.

Maximum Win

The top payout of 12,000x is really decent, especially when paired with a solid RTP and mid-range variance. This means players on more of a budget can still afford to shoot for a higher jackpot, even with a stake as little as £0.10.

Symbols and Paytable

The game has a 5-reel, 4-row format with 20 paylines. Wins are achieved by landing three or more identical symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. 

Jawsome Pirates Paytable
The paytable with 10x for 5 Chests

Jawsome Pirates features 10 pay symbols plus a wild. The low-value symbols are the 10-A cards, which pay 1x the bet for five of a kind. The premium symbols include anchors, hooks, swords, treasure bags, and treasure chests, awarding between 3x and 10x the bet for five of a kind. 

Wild symbols substitute for all regular symbols and pay 10x the bet for five of a kind.

Features and Gameplay

Jawsome Pirates makes great use of different sorts of wilds, as well as a free spins round. Let’s take a look at how all of the features work.

Collector Wild

As well as normal wilds, this slot also features collector wilds. These open any Mystic Chests (we’ll come onto these in a minute) whenever they land on the grid. Only one collector wild can land at a time.

The collector wild also substitutes any regular pay symbol, in the same way a normal wild does. When it is used in this way it is removed from the grid, except in the free spins round where it remains.

Mystic Chests

Mystic chests can land at any time and when they open reveal one of the following prizes:

  • Expanding Wild: the whole reel becomes wild.
  • Instant Win: instant win of between 5x and 100x the bet. 
  • Wild Boost: between 2 and 6 wilds or multiplier wilds are added to the grid. Multiplier values range from 1x to 100x. 

Jawsome Free Spins

Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbol starts the free spins round with  8, 10, or 12 free spins, respectively. You will always land a collector wild on the first spin if you trigger a round with the maximum 5 scatter symbols. If you land a scatter symbol during the free spins round you’re awarded an additional free spin.

During the free spins round, the collector wild and any multipliers remain on the reels for the duration. At the start of each free spin the collector wild moves to a new location. 

Final Verdict

Jawsome Pirates doesn’t bring any spectacularly new-fangled ideas to the slots world, but the Mystic Chests feature has potential for some sizeable wins, especially with the multiplier wilds. It’s also nice to see a slot with a sizable max win (12,000x), that also offers a solid RTP and only medium volatility. 

The theme itself is excellent too, with both the base game and the free spins round meshing perfectly with the pirate theme but each having their own flavour. If you like a fairly straightforward slots game with some prize-boosting mechanics, then Jawsome Pirates is actually, pretty jawsome.
