Best Megaways™ Casinos

When it comes to pirates in the modern day, most of us will instantly think of Captain Jack Sparrow and his adventures on the big screen. Microgaming take us on a similarly upbeat adventure in 8 Golden Skulls of Holly Roger Megaways™, where the focus is on the female pirates that roam the high seas. Gameplay takes place with the reels set upon a backdrop of the misty ocean, where a joyful soundtrack plays throughout the action.

It couldn't really be a pirate themed slot without there being a substantial amount of treasure to potentially win. So if you're lucky enough to scoop the bounty on 8 Golden Skulls of Holly Roger Megaways™, then you'll be walking away with a maximum win of 19,000x stake. Breaking down the symbols individually, we find the royal cards 10 through to the ace are responsible for representing the low value wins. Higher value pays are made up by female pirates with the purple pirate being the most valuable and paying 60x for a 6 of a kind win.

If you like pitting your wits against the raiders of the sea, then you might also want to take a look at Pirates Bounty Megaways™ from Blueprint Gaming, or maybe Pirates Kingdom Megaways™ from Iron Dog Studio, which also features adventures of the high seas.

You'll find that 8 Golden Skulls of Holly Roger Megaways™ has been optimised for all devices. So once you have accessed the slot it's incredibly easy to navigate around the in-game options such as sound controls and autoplay.

As we often see with a slot that's designed with a 117,649 payline format, 8 Golden Skulls of Holly Roger Megaways™ includes the cascading reels mechanic. Featuring in both the base game and the free spins bonus, this particular mechanic is activated once a combination of winning symbols have been formed on the reels. After the initial win reaction takes place, the symbols involved in that win are removed from the reels and new symbols then drop from above to replace them. This series of wins and cascades will continue as long as a new win is being formed on the reels each time.

Another interesting symbol to keep a look out for is the Treasure Chest. This acts as the slots mystery symbol, and when it lands in view and the reels then come to a halt, all instances of it will transform into the same randomly chosen symbol from the paytable. The chest can appear in both the base game and the free spin feature. 

When it comes to special features within the game, you'll firstly come across the Firepots that are located to the left hand side of the reels. Next to each cash value you'll see a corresponding number, which is the amount of Golden Skulls that you need to land in view for you to be awarded that amount. The Firepot values are available for you to win in both the base game and the free spins bonus round.

Talking of the free spins, for these to be activated you will need to fill the 4 empty diamond positions that are above the game reels. You'll need to collect all of these in 1 series of spins to trigger the bonus, and any additional diamonds collected after the 4th will award you with 2 extra free spins after the bonus wheel has been spun.

That's right we said bonus wheel. This is the first port of call after the feature trigger, and once the wheel comes to a halt you will be awarded a free spin amount from the outer section ( up to 30 ) and a win multiplier from the inner section ( up to x3 ) Just before the spins begin the multiplier will also be applied to the Firepots, meaning that a potential 6,000x stake can be won. 

Although the game doesn't feature a win multiplier that can be increased during the bonus round, there are further opportunities to win more free spins. Hitting 3 scatters during the bonus will award you with 4 extra free spins, with each extra scatter thereafter again adding 2 more to that total.
