In the last few years there has been an explosion in the number of online slot machines based on Pirates being released. This is partly due to the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise which proved to be a major hit worldwide and casino software developers saw this as an opportunity to begin developing Pirate themed slots to attract the attention of fans of the movies.
The variety of symbols software developers can use make the Pirate genre perfect for online slots. Common symbols you will find in the slots listed below include Pirates (good and bad of course), a Maiden, Parrots, Ships, Treasure, Weapons (such as Swords and Flintlock Pistols), Compasses, Maps, and more.
Most Popular Pirate Themed Slots
Barbary Coast (Betsoft Gaming)
Barbary Coast was one of the first 3D slots to be released by Betsoft Gaming back in 2009, and is without doubt the best Pirate themed slot currently available. It has the same structure as the majority of Betsoft Gaming 3D slots with 5 reels and 30 paylines available, plus the option to bet from 0.05 to 1 per coin meaning a maximum bet of $150 is on offer each spin. The background music is very intense and dramatic, and the symbols used on the reels compliment the theme perfectly with Ben Sawyer (games main character), Captain Blackbeard (the villain), a Maiden, Parrot, Compass, Guns and Chests of Treasure just some of the symbols you will be presented with. Barbary Coast is also loaded with exciting bonus features including a Free Spins mode, a Click Me game, an Explosive Wild Reel, the Grog Challenge (you take on a fellow Pirate in a drinking contest), and a Fight Bonus game (you are locked into a sword fight against Captain Blackbeard and must select the order of three actions – thrust, parry, or thrust, to defeat him and rescue the Maiden).
