Age of Privateers

This is a game producer by Greentube, part of the larger Novomatic group of iGaming companies. They have a very heavy presence in land-based casinos, and it really does show. In fact, the game looks like a direct port from one of those old school terminals.

Now, if you don’t mind the look then this slot offers some interesting wins and features. There’s a progressive jackpot to add an extra level of excitement. Bonus games and win multipliers await those who seek out the treasure fleets in the high seas!

Theme

The background promises azure and calm seas, happy beach parties and relaxing times spent digging for treasures. But once you get to the reels the Age of Privateers really takes off, with pirates, gunpowder, tons of loots and other iconic symbols. Hoist the sails and get in the mood!

Of course, given that Greentube is pretty much a classic slot producer, it’s a given that the playing cards are there as well. For the same reason, the sound effects and music are mostly white noise, best muted as soon as possible.

Betting Options and Functions

There are a total of twenty symbol positions, four on each of the five reels. There’s a total of fifty paylines. You can choose how many are in play (between one and fifty), which is an option that is quite rare these days. Betting starts from 0.01 coin per bet line, which gives plenty of options for real and bonus money alike.

Volatility is high, though the basic payouts don’t really reflect this. That is thanks to the scatters, which pay out up to 5000 times the line bet. Most of the other symbols fall between 4 and 500 times the line bet.

Features

The progressive jackpot is obviously an important feature, though landing it requires massive amounts of luck. Given that the pot is dependant on how many lines and how high your bet is, it is probably better to check out some other progressive jackpots if that is what you’re after.

Besides paying out massive wins the scatters also trigger some free games. This means that you’re always guaranteed a nice win when enough of the ship’s wheel land on the reels. The bonus games, which come 12 at a time, also come with a win multiplier of four for all spins.

Like most Novomatic slots, this one too comes with the gamble feature. The ladder gamble gives you the usual 50 - 50 chance to double the pot or lose it all. Use carefully!

Our Take

There’s a crowd who loves these games, but the modern mobile player probably isn’t part of that crew. If you want to face off with the high volatility and risk it all for massive payouts, especially with scatters and bonus game multipliers, then this game is worth checking out.
