Pirates Pub by Pragmatic Play is a pirate-themed online slot that combines colorful visuals with engaging bonus features. Set inside a lively tavern filled with treasure maps and rum barrels, the game centers around Wild transformations, a two-phase bonus round, and random symbol upgrades.
The slot is played on a 5-reel, 3-row layout with 9 fixed ways to form winning combinations. Symbols include crossed pistols, tankards of ale, pirate hats, maps, and classic card icons. The Wild symbol appears in both the base game and bonus rounds and substitutes for regular symbols to help complete winning combinations.
The main feature of the game is the Free Spins Bonus, triggered by landing three or more Scatter symbols. The bonus is divided into two parts: a Marking Phase and the Free Spins Phase. In the Marking Phase, players receive 10 spins where positions on the reels are marked each time a Wild lands. Once the marking spins are complete, the Free Spins Phase begins.
In the Free Spins Phase, all marked positions transform into sticky Wilds for the duration of the round. This setup boosts the chances of forming high-value combinations, especially if multiple Wilds are locked in place. The bonus can be retriggered with additional Scatter symbols, providing extended potential.
Pirates Pub features medium to high volatility and a return to player (RTP) of 96.03%, offering structured gameplay that blends straightforward mechanics with strategic bonus phases.
