Buckaneers’ Frenzy Slot Game

Fishin’ Frenzy hit the market back in 2014, becoming a smashing hit and earning cult status among players. Over the years, it has spawned numerous new slots based on the same game mechanics. Buckaneers’ Frenzy is another makeover added to the popular range.

Buckaneers’ Frenzy doesn’t offer anything particularly new in terms of design. It’s similar to the games seen in the previous tweaks of the original game, albeit adjusted to match the pirate theme. The main playing area is set against a backdrop of a sandy beach. On the other hand, a pirate tune playing in the background is well-executed and further adds to the excitement.

As we move to the slot’s paytable, we see plenty of recognisable icons split into two categories. At the lower end is the standard selection of low-value playing cards 10, J, Q, K, and A. Oranges, Bottles of Rum, Anchors, Parrots, Small Bags, Medium Bags, Big Bags, and Large Bags of Loot made up the premium lot. The Pirate Wild is also present, replacing all regular symbols, while the Pirate Ship Scatter is waiting for its chance to unlock the bonus.

A standard main playing area consisting of five reels and three rows dominates the view. It also comes with a total of ten fixed paylines in play. Landing at least three matching symbols awards a corresponding payout. This works for all icons, except the Parrot, where only two of a kind will get the job done. Buckaneer’s Frenzy pays left from right, with all winning lines starting from the leftmost reel.

Many Ladbrokes games with medium volatility give players wide possibilities for setting their bets. That’s not the case with Buckaneers’ Frenzy. Even compared to other releases based on Fishin’ Frenzy, the game’s wagering options are pretty narrow. Drop in at least £0.10 to start the pirate-themed adventure and get the reels spinning. Slot enthusiasts looking to spend more can place stakes going up to £10 on every spin.

Players familiar with the Fishin’ Frenzy series know what to expect regarding available features. Buckaneers’ Frenzy is all about the Free Spins round. The bonus is not only full of excitement but also comes with massive win potential.

The base game may offer a dose of excitement, but the Free Spins round fires up the playing experience. But that’s not all, as the feature provides additional cash prizes thanks to Cash symbols.

But first thing first. Players must land three or more Pirate Ship Scatters anywhere on the reels to trigger the bonus. Three, four and five Scatters award ten, fifteen, or twenty freebies, respectively.

During the feature, Cash symbols appear on the reels with random cash values. They can be worth 2x, 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, and 50x the bet. Now, this is where the Pirate Wild jumps into action. Every time Cash symbols and the Pirate Wild land together, their values are collected. The Pirate Wild will also upgrade the corresponding Cash symbols for the remainder of the bonus and add one more spin to the count. There’s no limit to the number of available spins. With Cash symbol upgrades, players can take a shot at claiming the game’s top prize.
