Pirate Bonanza 2 Slot Information

All hands on deck, as when you open up the game, you’ll find yourself on a pirate ship, with a bit of a different-looking captain from the last game, but he also keeps a loaded cannon close to him at all times. The game’s soundtrack is pretty calm, letting you swoosh away as you spin in rhythm with the waves, but when you enter the bonus game, the storm creeps in and the features kick into high gear. The game can be played on most desktops, notepads, and mobiles. Wins are made by landing 5 or more of the same symbols in adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel.

The lower-paying symbols are various colored gems ranging from orange, blue, green, red, and purple. Creating a win with 15 of the same symbols will pay out 50X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are a bottle of rum, a treasure map, a compass, and a pirate hat. Landing a win with 15 of the same symbols pays out 100X to 200X the bet. The reels also come with the classic Wilds and Scatters, as well as Cannon Symbols that can lead to landing various Multiplier Bomb Symbols, but more on those in the next section.

Free Spins

Wild Symbols

Wild Symbols help create winning combinations by being able to substitute for all symbols except Scatter Symbols.

Tumbles

After a winning combination is made, all winning symbols are removed, allowing new ones to drop in to take their place and possibly award additional wins.

Cannon Bonus

After a winning combination is made, squares will be highlighted behind the winning symbols. If a Cannon Symbol lands on the grid, it will activate any highlighted square, revealing Multiplier Bomb Symbols that will explode and award random Multipliers, and these symbols are as follows:

Low-Value Bombs = Low-Value Bombs are additive and can have a multiplier ranging from 2X to 5X.

Medium-Value Bombs = Medium-Value Bombs are additive and can have a multiplier ranging from 10X to 25X.

High-Value Bombs = High-Value Bombs are additive and can have a multiplier ranging from 50X to 100X.

Golden Multiplier Bombs = Golden Multiplier Bombs are Multiplicative and can have a multiplier ranging from 2X to 10X.

R-Bomb = R-Bombs will collect all Additive Multipliers and add them to the Total Win before replacing those with new bombs. These new bombs may be of any type, even new R-Bombs. 

The bombs will reveal their Multipliers in the order of Additive Multiplier Bombs, R-Bombs, and Multiplicative Multiplier Bombs.

Cannon Blast Free Spins

Trigger the Cannon Blast bonus game by landing 3 Scatter Symbols at the same time in the base game, awarding 10 initial spins. During the bonus, there is a higher chance of landing Cannon Symbols, and all highlighted squares persist until they’ve been activated.

Bombs Away Free Spins

Trigger the Bombs Away bonus game by landing 4 Scatter Symbols at the same time in the base game, awarding 10 initial spins. The Bombs Away bonus game offers even higher chances of landing Cannon Symbols, and all highlighted squares persist for the entire duration of the bonus round.

250X = Triggers the Bombs Away Free Spins.

Pirate Bonanza 2 Slot Conclusion

Backseat Gaming is a new studio on the market that’s partnered with Hacksaw Gaming, and that’s quite clear to see when you start diving deeper into their games. When the prequel Pirate Bonanza was released, it was among the studio's first releases and quickly garnered some attention from players worldwide thanks to its simple, but volatile and fun gameplay. However, the game was actually a bit of a spiritual successor to a previous game, that being Barrel Bonanza, which was released in the same year. Pirate Bonanza 2 takes the first game's features and improves on them in almost every way, doubles the max win, and comes with some slightly better graphics, even though visuals weren’t exactly the central part of the first game's success. Even though the studio is quite young, being under the wing of Hacksaw Gaming has its perks, and Backseat Gaming has consistently released great games since its debut. But with that said, we should move over to the gameplay.

Starting with stats, the game comes with a higher-than-average RTP of 96.32%, and a great max win of 20,000X the bet, double that of the prequel. Speaking of the prequel, while some things have changed in Pirate Bonanza 2, it very much feels like the same game, but with new toys. One small change is that the sequel moved over to using Cluster Wins instead of Scatter Pays, which makes the highlighted squares a lot more condensed than before. This might not sound like anything, but when we move into the Free Spin, especially the Bombs Away bonus game, having condensed wins can make it easier to fill out the playing grid with squares, making for more and bigger Multiplier Bombs to appear. The canon feature is a great way to generate wins both in the base game and in the bonus games, and with the near-limitless potential of Tumbles, you can hit huge payouts on any spin, but of course, the bonus games make that all so much easier. It doesn’t matter if you’re new to life out at sea, an experienced sailor, or just here to hit big wins; we highly recommend you check out the game’s demo that we host here on our website, alongside many others.

Pirate Bonanza 2 is a slot that brings bigger and stronger guns, and it is a perfect sequel to an otherwise beloved game.
