Plunderin Pirates Hold & Win Review

The Hold & Win saga continues for iSoftBet, and Plunderin' Pirates Hold & Win should appeal to all wannabe pirates out there. The excellent soundtrack will immediately sweep you off your feet, and take you for a swashbuckling ride into unknown waters. The reels are filled with pirates, monkeys and parrots, and the sturdy Captain is by your side at all times.

He’s not only standing there to pose either, as the bomb he’s holding will sometimes be thrown onto the reels to trigger 1 of 3 Explosive Modifiers. Other than that, the main attraction is the Hold & Win bonus, and it’s a thrill-ride of ‘booty booster’ modifier coins and row-unlocking action. The 880x potential is admittedly a tad low, but casual punters will find plenty of entertainment in this release.

Plunderin' Pirates Hold & Win Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 4 and 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the Wild symbol steps in for all pay symbols to help complete winning combinations. The wild holds no value of its own however, and we’ll take a closer look at all the bonus features below.

The pirate captain on the left-hand side carries a bomb, and he will throw this bomb onto the reels at random times. This Explosive Modifier will either add 3 to 5 wilds, upgrade all low-value symbols to premium symbols, or add 1 to 3 gold coins that may help trigger the Hold & Win bonus round.

You need at least 5 gold coins in view to trigger the Hold & Win Plunderin’ Respins round, and you start with 3 respins in the tally.

The triggering gold coins become sticky on an otherwise cleared grid, and every new sticky gold coin that lands reset the respins tally to 3 again. The gold coins come with cash prizes of 1x to 100x your stake, and you also get 4 ‘booty booster’ modifier coins of different colors:

• Silver coins - collects all present gold coin values, and open up additional positions where new coins can land.
• Green coins - adds extra value to all adjacent coins.
• Blue coins - unlocks up to 3 extra rows.
• Purple coins - collects the value from all present gold and silver coins, and opens up extra positions where new coins can land.

Review Summary

The swashbuckling soundtrack is pretty much perfect for a game like this, and the visual presentation is solid as well. The pirate captain could perhaps have been a bit less stingy with his bomb, not least since the Explosive Modifier is the only thing keeping you warm in the base game. Massive wins are not really possible in Plunderin' Pirates Hold & Win, but keeping afloat is not all that hard due to the medium volatility.

The big highlight is undoubtedly the Hold & Win feature, which comes with a nice selection of booty booster modifier coins.

We’ve seen similar things before from this developer, but having modifiers like this is still enough to lift Plunderin' Pirates above the run-of-the-mill hold and win releases we see all the time. The feature is visually engaging as well, but this release would probably fare better with a higher potential than 880x the stake.

Pros

• 3 random Explosive Modifiers
• Hold & Win w/ 4 modifier coins
• RTP of 96 % (not RTP ranges)
• Solid audiovisual presentation

Cons

• The 880x potential is a bit low
