Pirate themed slot machines usually give us a glimpse of sunny Caribbean skies, palm-fringed beaches and cheerful ship mates; Cursed Seas from Hacksaw Gaming brings us something considerably darker with grey skies, stormy seas and elements of horror along with wild multipliers, free spins and respins.
Cursed Seas is a five reel slot with twenty six paylines; grey clouds, rough grey seas and a ragged-looking pirate ship set the scene with a musical score which seems just slightly too cheerful for the atmosphere.
The high value symbols are four characters from this story including the ghostly skull; lower values comprise the anchor, the pistols, the skull & crossbones, the compass and the tattered Jolly Roger. The treasure chest with ‘W’ is wild and the special symbols are the grey chest and the creepy blue lantern.
Cursed Seas Bonus Features
Cursed Chests
When these spooky chests land on the reels their position and those above will become cursed areas if a win can be formed by doing so. This area becomes wild and gains a multiplier of between 2x and 200x which is applied to any wins passing through.
Sunken Treasure Free Spins
Landing at three of the glowing lantern symbols anywhere in view will award an initial ten free spins with two, four and six extra ones available once the round starts if you can land two, three or four scatters respectively.
All cursed areas created remain on the reels until the round ends and their multipliers are collected and totalled above – this is the multiplier applied to any wins during this round.
Dead Men Tell No Tales
Four lantern symbols anywhere on the reels during the base game will activate this respins round and you’ll start with three on a set of reels containing only blanks, skulls and Krakens. Each time a skull of Kraken lands the respins are reset to three and the following happens:
- Cursed Skull – creates a cursed area which remain until the round ends and comes with a multiplier of between 1x and 500x; he value is collected above that particular reel.
- Tormented Skull – reveals a multiplier between 2x and 25x which is applied to the totals above the reels.
- Kraken – reveals a multiplier value between 1x and 500x which is added to all values above the reels.
When the round ends the values above are added to all cursed positions on the reel below – these are totalled and applied to the stake to calculate the win.
Verdict
| Cheerful, sunny piracy or grim piracy under grey skies – it’s all the same to us as long as the slot is a good one and Hacksaw Gaming rarely disappoint; two free spin features and the clever Cursed Areas ensure that the action remains constant while the unexpectedly chirpy tune injects some light into the greyness. | |
