Pirate Slots is a Jumpman site which has opted to run a different and better welcome offer as compared to other Jumpman sites – on spinning the Bonus Wheel the top prize is 1000% Slot Bonus.

About Pirate Slots

Pirate Slots is a Jumpman Slots site that was one of the first to experiment with the Match Up Bonus Wheel welcome offer; it’s a spin the wheel affair just like the more common Mega Reel but awards a bonus instead of slot spins. While the games and promotions are shared with all the other Jumpman Slots brands, the site’s different welcome offer sets it apart.

While slots are the main attraction here, there are masses of other games to enjoy such as bingo, live casino games, Slingo games, and video poker from big-name providers including NetEnt, Microgaming, and Playtech.

There’s also a trophy system that uses gamification, monthly prize draws, and redeposit rewards which are offered through the Mega Reel.

While there are many positives, there are also drawbacks such as the limited ways in which you can contact the customer service team, high wagering requirements, and the processing fees for withdrawals. But, if you can look past these, you’ll find plenty to like about this online slot site.

Games at Pirate Slots

Pirate Slots has an ever-increasing number of games as its operator is very quick to add the latest releases. Right now, there are over 1,300 slots, as well as scores of instant wins, live casino games, bingo games, and table games. The featured software providers range from Pragmatic Play, Eyecon, Leander, and Blueprint Gaming to Microgaming, NetEnt, Red Tiger, and Yggdrasil.

You can choose from 50 or so jackpot slots, including Eyecon’s Fluffy Mega Jackpot and Highland Reels Super Jackpot.

Trustworthiness & Reputation

Playing at a licensed casino is very important if you live in the UK. So, it’s good to know that Pirate Slots is licensed and approved of by the UK Gambling Commission. For non-UK players, the site has an Alderney Gambling Control Commission-issued license. The site offers a number of safety features (e.g. deposit limits and time-outs) and is a member of the GAMSTOP scheme.

The operator, Jumpman Gaming has a good reputation within the online gaming industry. It is also worth knowing that Pirate Slots is owned and operated by Jumpman Gaming directly rather than being a white label, which bodes well for stability.

Site Design

Pirate Slots used to be much more aggressively themed on pirates than it is now, and in the process of toning down the theme the exclusive Lucky Loot promotion (that awarded an extra Loot Chest on every 3rd deposit as long as they were all made the same day) has also gone, but it still looks very pretty. The menu at the top of the screen lets you access the games lobby and other key pages such as Promotions. Once you’re logged in, you can view your account page, admire your trophy collection, and visit the Cashier.

The games lobby comes with a search tool, as well as filters like A-Z, My Faves, Newest, Jackpots, Bingo, and Table Games.

A Closer Look at the Slot Games

As at all Jumpman Slots sites the selection of slot games at Pirate Slots is extraordinarily good, with plenty of high octane thrillers like 9 Masks of Fire, Bonanza, Vikings Go Berzerk and Wolf Gold alongside evergreen titles like Starburst, Fluffy Favourites, Rainbow Riches, Fishin’ Frenzy and Immortal Romance. The progressive jackpot slots are mostly by Eyecon and include several different games in the Fluffy series.

There are both old and new classic slots for those of you who prefer old-school gameplay, including Juicy Fruits Multihold and Bars and 7s.

Additional Products

Live casino games are one of the biggest attractions at Pirate Slots, and they let you play a variety of popular casino games via live streams which connect you to professional hosts and dealers. There are both live table games and live game shows that include Nexus Roulette, Vinnie Jones Blackjack, Casino Hold’em, Mega Wheel, and 7’s on Fire.

If you enjoy playing bingo, you can head to the site’s online bingo rooms to take your pick of 90, 80, 75, 50, and 30-ball games. There are also many different Slingo games, instant wins, video poker, and table games such as Classic Blackjack with Picture-Perfect Bonus, 100/1 Roulette, Baccarat, and Solitaire.

Promotions

The Bonus Wheel welcome offer at Pirate Slots is MUCH better than Jumpman’s usual Mega Reel offer :

The smallest prize on the Bonus Wheel is 100%. Assuming 10p spin value, most of the slot spin prizes on the Mega Reel (or Loot Chest) are considerably smaller than that
Instead of winning a set number of spins, you win a percentage bonus. So if you deposit more than the minimum, your bonus goes up too
You can use the bonus on any slot game you like apart from progressive jackpots

When you redeposit, however, you’ll be back to the normal Mega Reel offers. Pirate Slots also has daily Rewards Reel, monthly specials, prize giveaways, Slingo promotions, scratch card competitions, trophy rewards, takeaway voucher contests, happy hours and Turbo Reel spins (for players who deposit at least £100 in a single transaction).

Mobile Usability

Pirate Slots is a mobile-optimised site which caters for most devices and browsers, and it provides a reliable and enjoyable playing experience when you’re on the move. The games load quickly, and you can easily move around the site by tapping the links and menu choices.

Payment Methods

The banking system is designed to make funding your account as easy as possible. You simply pick your preferred payment method then enter the amount that you wish to deposit/withdraw. There are 6 payment methods available – Skrill, Neteller, Paypal, Paysafecard, Visa Debit, and Pay by Mobile.

Deposits can be made free of charge unless you use Pay by Mobile which costs £2.50. Unfortunately, all withdrawal methods are chargeable, with a £2.50 processing fee being added to each transaction.

Final Thoughts

The selection of slots and live casino games is hard to beat, and who doesn’t love a bit of pirate theming? The range of software providers is also extremely good, and if you’re partial to a game or two of online bingo, you can take advantage of Pragmatic Play’s bingo rooms (be aware though that they don’t have an attached chatroom).
