In addition to being a pirate slot game, Ghost Pirates is also a ghost slot game. As many as 243 ways can be won on this 5-reel slot, which has three rows. If you activate fewer paylines, your chances of winning are lower.

There is medium to high variance in the Ghost Pirates slot from NetEnt. A 96.88% return to player (RTP) indicates a good return.

Bonus Features

Your reels can contain winning combinations anywhere you see the scatter symbol. The minimum number of treasure chests required to win is three. A winning combination that gets 3 scatters also gets a 2x multiplier. A scatter of 4 scatters will multiply your winnings by 20, and a scatter of 5 scatters will multiply your winnings by 50.

To trigger the free spins bonus feature, you must land three or more scatters in the same reel row. When you win a free spin, your winning combinations will be multiplied by three.

In the base game, the number of scatters you land determines the number of free spins you will receive. 15 free spins will be awarded if you get three scatters. Getting 4 scatters will give you 20 free spins; getting 5 scatters will give you 50 free spins.

During the free spins feature, you may see scatters from the treasure chest again. Additional free spins will be awarded if you get three or more. Our biggest wins came from triggering the free spins bonus.

Final Thoughts

We were entertained for a while by NetEnt’s Ghost Pirates slot machine. There were times when playing this slot was a bit frustrating as getting winning combinations that included reel number 1 was not easy. Despite this, we did win several games and still had a lot of fun.
