8 Golden Skulls Of Holly Roger Megaways

Ooh arr, me hearties! Welcome to the 8 Golden Skulls of Holly Roger Megaways slot, from Games Global and Buck Stakes Entertainment.

Get ready to sail the Seven Seas on six reels and up to 117,649 pay lines per spin – thanks to that Megaways mechanic. That’s even more than the Joyful Joker Megaways slot from All41!

The Graphics

What with Captain Jack Sparrow, Blackbeard and Henry Morgan, buccaneering is usually a male pursuit. Not so in this game my dear friends – where your reels are filled with lady pirates.

We thought that there were skulls aplenty in the House of Doom 2: The Crypt slot from Play’n GO, but it turns out that this game tops that one.

The reel action is set on a misty ocean background on wooden reels with the sounds of waves lapping against the shore. Until you hit a big win, that is – and then you’ll see the waves splash onto the reels! It’s quite entertaining.

There’s also the odd seagull to be found and a hearty sea-shanty soundtrack plays as you spin.

The Game Play

The 8 Golden Skulls of Holly Roger Megaways slot has six reels and up to 117,649 ways to win, as each reel can display from two to seven symbols on each spin. As always, the Rolling Reels mechanism is also in play.

Place your bets from 0.20 to 20.00 per spin. Big pay-lines games are all the rage (the Shimmering Woods slot is another example), but the Megaways mechanic takes it up to a whole new level.

Now to the pirate paytable!

Your lower-paying symbols are the playing card royals (10, J, Q, K and A), while the premium icons are made up of five female pirates. The purple buccaneer – Holly Rogers herself – is the most lucrative. She will net you a handsome payout of 60 times your bet for six.

8 Golden Skulls of Holly Roger Megaways Slot Bonuses

Plenty is going on in this slot with three bonuses on offer.

Mystery Symbols

From time to time, treasure chest icons will pop onto the reels – as they do, these symbols will transform into randomly picked pay-table icons across the reels. Making up more wins for you, hopefully!

Firepot Feature

At the top right of the screen, you’ll see a skull and crossbones and some cash values underneath. Land three or more of the Firepot icons on the same spin and you’ll win one of these instant prizes:

– Three Firepots = 1.5x your bet
– Four Firepots = 5x your bet
– Five Firepots= 20x your bet
– Six Firepots = 100x your bet
– Seven Firepots = 300x your bet
– Eight Firepots = 2,000x your bet

They remind me of old-fashioned scatter wins.

Free Spins

Hit four of the diamond Scatters and a Wheel of Fortune will appear. Each section contains the number of Free Spins on offer and a win multiplier. Spin the reel and see which combo you’ll play with. The diamonds are collected on the free spins bar at the top of the game.

There are up to 30 Free Spins on offer with a 1x, 2x or 3x multiplier. The multipliers can also be added to any Firepot wins you make – which can mean big payouts if you’re lucky!

And if you’re lucky enough to land three more scatters, you’ll be given even more spins.

FAQs

What are the Firepot Jackpots?
Six fixed jackpots can be seen to the left of the reels. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 skulls on the same spin trigger a 5x, 5x, 20x, 100x, 300x or 2,000x your stake win respectively. The skulls don’t disappear on successive Avalanches, so they can build up on long runs.

How do you trigger the bonus round?
Four or more diamond scatters set off the Bonus Round. If you get more than four, each one boosts your spins by 2. The actual number you will get is set by the Bonus Wheel which will trigger from 10 to 30 free spins with a win multiplier of 1x, 2x or 3x.
