Jolly Roger is a pretty no-nonsense affair. It comes with a 5 reel, 15 payline game engine and a pair of bonus features. The first of them is the Chest Bonus feature - find 3 or more treasure chests anywhere on the reels to activate the feature. You'll then be presented with a selection of treasure chests - pick 2 of them and you'll be awarded a pair of cash bonuses.
If you triggered the feature with three chests the prizes on offer range between 40 and 2,000x. Three bonuses and it goes up to between 60 and 3,000x. Prizes of between 80 and 4,000x are on offer if you managed to find the feature with five bonus symbols.
Secondly, there's the Map Bonus feature - find the 3 torn pieces of the map on reels 1, 2 and 3 and you'll activate the bonus. You'll be shown a treasure map with 10 symbols where X marks the spot. Pick three and you'll win bonus prizes of between 60 and 1,200 times your stake.
Jolly Roger is a pretty simple offering in terms of gameplay and visuals - the imagery is cartoon style and includes simply drawn cutlasses, cannons, sailing ships and pirates as well as pirate swag including gold dabloons, rings and diamonds.
The parrot is the scatter, paying 400 times your total stake if you find five in a payline. The Jolly Roger is the wild, substituting for everything apart from the scatter and bonus symbols. Find five Jolly Rogers on a payline and bumper 10,000 coin payout will be yours. Even four will get you a 1,000x payout.
Expect drum rolls and cannon fire to greet successful spins alongside the sounds of the ocean waves. The bonus features in Jolly Roger are perfectly acceptable offerings but don't really set pulses racing. What does is the potential for a massive 10,000 coin jackpot. Get lucky with the wilds and there's booty galore on offer on these ocean waves.
The game is a little dated as it’s one of Play ‘N Go’s first releases – there are other (and better) pirate-themed slots out there like WMS Gaming’s Red Flag Fleet and NetEnt’s Hook’s Heroes.
