Blackbeard’s Bounty Demo & Review

Blackbeard’s Bounty review

Blackbeard's Bounty is a 5x3, 243-ways pirate slot built on cascades. Every win sets off a chain reaction, and a wild appears after each cascade to keep the streak going. Each cascade also increases the multiplier: 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x and beyond.

In the bonus round, that multiplier keeps growing instead of resetting until the free spins end, which is where the 20,000x maximum comes from. Golden Bet raises your odds of reaching the bonus, and a bonus buy offers a direct route where permitted. BGaming rates it very high volatility, with a 96.2% RTP and free spins about once every 172 spins.
