The all-conquering Megaways fleet continues to pour, in full sail, across the slots oceans, defeating everything in front of it! Since Big Time Gaming came up with the multi-ways-to-win engine it has spread across the slots world like a pirate fleet.
This iteration of the engine comes from Iron Dog, a UK-based games studio who are relative newcomers on the online video slots market.
The stand-out features in this pirate-themed game are multipliers, with multiplier wilds in the base game. There’s also a free spins round with multiplier and retriggering.
Megaways comes with a load of features built-in, most notably the huge number of potential winning combos, and atypical reel sets but also cascading wins. This Pirate Kingdom Megaways slot game also features symbol collection features.
The aesthetic is classic pirate, with an undersea setting behind the reels and nicely drawn cartoon pirates on the reels.
It’s a good-looking and sounding game brimming with features, but should you take the shilling with this pirate?

The Game
The game is easy to play, with a standard control set up that players of any online video slot will find easy to understand.
The pay-table can be opened from the main screen, and you should take a look at this to understand the game fully.
Pays are from three to six symbols on a pay line.
Card symbols open the pay-table, rewarding players with 0.2-times stake at the top of the range.
A ship’s wheel pays 0.3-times stake for a full set, as does the treasure chest.
The pirate man pays 0.5-stake for a full house, the pirate woman 7.5-times stake.
The top paying symbol is the mean old captain, who pays out a 25-times stake.
The bonus features start in the base game with tumbling or cascading wins that knock out scoring symbols and fill the reels with a respin.
Pistols are a Wild in the base game. A 2-times multiplier can also land, and they are cumulative so you can hit an 8-times multiplier in the base game.
Four cascading wins trigger the free spins round with eight spins to get you started. Reels with 7 symbols are sticky and increase the multiplier by 1 each time they appear. Wins grant a new free spin with no limit on triggers or multiplier.
You can buy-in to the free spins round with big stakes up to 130-times your actual game stake.
The Verdict
This highly entertaining game is an excellent addition to the Megaways stable and we hope you will climb aboard the good ship Pirate King and take a trip across the high seas with Iron Dog.
Megaways is much beloved. As soon as you see the logo on a game you know you’re going to get a good experience with a lot of extra features as standard.
Iron Dog have really run with it though and gone to town – or out to sea – on lots of great design and good game mechanics that maintain player interest and offer the potential of some very big prizes from a decent RTP.
The pirate market is a crowded one, and some of these games can end up looking and feeling a bit samey, but this is a great addition to that segment of the slots world and if you enjoy either pirate games or Megaways games we reckon you should check this title from a rare UK-based studio out.
