The software provider Top Game has a number of excellent thematic slot games in its portfolio. But a pirate themed slot game was missing from the selection so far. This drawback has been rectified with the launch of Redbeard & Co. The online slot reflects the vibrancy characteristic of Top Game online slots with a greater emphasis on 3D graphics. The Spin button is the skeleton, the Bet Max button is the cannon and the Paytable is accessed through the cannon ball. There is activity outside the reels with Redbeard’s parrot flying all over the place and a pirate making an appearance from time to time.
Redbeard & Co are the high paying symbols. Redbeard heads the list with a jackpot payout of 8,000 coins. As the pirate move down the pecking order, they offer lower payouts. The playing card icons are the lower paying symbols. Most of the symbols start awarding payouts when two appear aligned from left to right on active paylines. The parrot is the wild symbol. It substitutes for all symbols except the scatter and bonus symbols. In the animation is flaps its wings and scatters its feathers. The treasure chest is the scatter symbol. When three or more appear anywhere on the reels the chest opens and gold coins are spilt out. The player is awarded 10 free spins. Generally Top Game does not add any features into its free spins and the same is the case with Redbeard & Co.
However, the bonus game on the second screen is Vintage Top Game. It is triggered when three or more pirate ships appear from left to right on an active payline. The pirate ship sails into a close up mode and fires its cannon. The bonus game titled Pirate Roulette is equally explosive. One pirate representing the player holds an exploding bomb. A number of pirates from Redbeard & Co are standing in front of him on the deck of the ship. The player selects a pirate to whom the bomb is thrown. The bomb passes back and forth between the two before it explodes. If it explodes when Redbeard’s pirate is holding it then the player wins bonus credits. If the bomb explodes on the player’s pirate there are no payouts and one booby is logged. The player can keep selecting pirates and winning bonuses till he gets two boobies. The entire animation of the bonus game is in 3D and is awesome.
Redbeard & Co is a 20 paylines slot game. The line bet varies from 0.01 to 5.00 credits. The video slot offers the regular Top Game features like Auto Play and customization options. It is live at Top Game online casinos like Rome Casino, Diceland and Mona Casino.
