Treasure Pirates (ReelPlay) – Review & Demo Play

Introduction to Treasure Pirates

I boarded Treasure Pirates from Boomerang Studios and found a 5x3 layout with 243 ways to win. The base game feeds into a smart roaming sea setup, while coins, a Collect symbol and a Hold & Respin keep things lively. Free spins sit behind a scatter ship build-up, and there’s even a Side Strike side-bet in some regions to spice up standard spins. Medium volatility with a 5,000x top prize hits the sweet spot for me, especially with coin values up to 888x.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack in Treasure Pirates

Treasure Pirates runs with cartoon visuals aboard a ship, the reels framed on a white sail. Symbols pop enough to do the job, even if the wider scene is more muted than many. Audio is heavy on birds squawking, bells, and rolling waves rather than jolly shanties, which I prefer for longer sessions. The ship’s wheel pirate captain stands out on hits, and the roaming sea overlays add motion that matches the high seas angle without getting in the way of spin rhythm.

Treasure Pirates RTP & Volatility

On the numbers, Treasure Pirates offers a 96.46% RTP and medium volatility, which delivered a steady mix of smaller hits with the odd punchy burst in my sessions. The max payout clocks in at 5,000x your stake, though the top payline symbol return caps at 607.5x, so the bigger moments tend to come from coins, Collect triggers, and Hold & Respin sequences layered into free spins. That balance felt fair over a decent sample of spins.

Betting starts from £0.20 per spin, with 243 ways to win running left to right. I stick to flat staking while building roaming seas on the middle reel, then ramp slightly as the fourth scatter edge gets close. Side Strike, where available, is a separate wager tied to red or green chips on random symbols. Handy for sweat, but I keep it small so it doesn’t skew bankroll tracking much.

Game Symbols in Treasure Pirates

Premium symbols pay between 1.25x and 2.5x for five of a kind. The top-tier parrot carries the best line hits, and I’ve had it framed by roaming seas for tidy base game payouts. Low pays fill the ways, but the workhorse is the ship’s wheel pirate captain wild, subbing for standard pays on reels 2 to 5. It stitches together scattered ways wins well when roaming seas drop adjacent often.

Coins are the headline special. Each coin lands with a value from 1x to 888x stake. A Collect symbol can appear on any reel to bank all coin values in view. The paytable lays this out cleanly, and in practice it’s the mix of modest line wins with coin scoops that maintains cadence while you chase the fourth scatter ship. Those pickups can land in clusters with roaming seas nudging positions, and even small stacks add up over a run.

Treasure Pirates Free Spins & Roaming Ships

Free spins in Treasure Pirates arrive via the scatter ship on reel 3 only. Each time it lands, it transforms into a roaming sea symbol that stays active across spins. Gather four scatter ships over time to trigger the feature; you’ll carry those four roaming seas into the round. They persist through the base game until the bonus triggers, so you’re effectively building position as you play, spin by spin.

You get 5 free spins, no retriggers. During the feature, all four roaming sea symbols move to new spots on every spin across all reels except reel 3. Each frame randomly becomes a wild, the parrot, or a coin. After the round, the roaming seas reset back to the base game build. That shifting behaviour can line up ways wins or coin screens you’d never reach with static setups, so each spin feels different even across a short set.

In the base, up to three roaming seas can be active on the way to the fourth trigger. They create a nice tug between ways hits and coin setups, and I often adjust bet size as I close in on the bonus. The mobility keeps the grid fresh, which helps during longer hunts. When two or three frames skate into adjacent spots, the parrot or wild outcomes can spike returns even before the feature lands.

Collect Game in Treasure Pirates

Land a Collect symbol on any spin and it totals all coin values currently on the reels, paying the sum straight out. I rate this because coin values range from 1x up to 888x, so even two or three decent discs can swing a session. In Hold & Respin, Collect immediately banks the lot and, in this version, can push you into a cleared grid with three fresh respins, letting you chase a fuller board again.

Hold & Respin in Treasure Pirates

Hit six or more coins to trigger Hold & Respin in Treasure Pirates. You start with three respins; triggering coins lock, and every new coin that lands resets the counter back to three. The feature ends when you run out of respins or fill all 15 positions. It’s simple, fast, and pairs well with the Collect mechanic. The stop-start rhythm is clean, so you can read progress at a glance and decide whether to nudge stake next cycle.

I’ve even seen it trigger during a free spins run, which gives the bonus extra bite. The key is momentum: steady drops are nice, but a mid-round Collect on a chunky set can be the difference between a passable board and a proper spike. Even low-value discs add up fast as the sum grows with each new land, and the reset mechanic buys time for late swings. A full board is rare, but the climb keeps me engaged.
