Playtech Buccaneer Blast Video Slot ReviewThe design here is simply done. The action takes place on the deck of a classic pirate ship. There you’ll find 3 lower value sailing ship symbols, the ship’s pet monkey and 3 members of the crew. The captain, brandishing a cutlass is the best symbol. Land 3, 4 or 5 of him in combination and you can look forward to an award of 2, 7.5 or 15 times your total bet. Complementing the base game action are 2 feature rounds.

Ships Turned Wild feature – a cannon can appear at random under reels 2 or on any spin. If there’s a lower value ship symbol on the reel directly above the cannon, then it turns into wild. A payout consideration then follows with the extra wilds in play.

Buccaneer Blast feature – wilds are also central to the action in the second extra. This round is activated if you see the ship with black sails appear on the horizon. You’ll then receive a respin. During that respin, the ship’s cannon will fire a volley at the middle 3 reels. Each symbol struck by a cannonball turns into a wild. A payout calculation then follows with all the extras wilds in position.

There’s nothing very complicated about Buccaneer Blast. The design is solid enough but won’t be troubling any award panels. The gameplay is equally straightforward. You can expect to land both the Ships Turn Wild and Buccaneer Blast features regularly which keeps things ticking over at a brisk enough pace to keep things interesting.

The gameplay here might be a little on the vanilla side for some players and the lack of a free spins round will put some people off. Saying that, the win both ways mechanic can provide decent wins of up to 3,000 times your bet on each spin or respin.

If you enjoy the evergreen pirate theme, then Buccaneer Blast is worth a look. If you don’t usually thrill to your timbers being shivered, then this probably doesn’t offer quite enough to win you round. If you want more swashbuckling adventure, ELK Studios’ Wild Seas would be my choice.
