Buccaneer Blast Slot Machine

The Buccaneer Blast is a pay-both-ways, 5-reel, 10-payline slot, playable across desktop and mobile devices. It has features and payouts that will have you at the edge of your seat as you wait for wins to land.

The graphics of Buccaneer Blast are nice and in the pirate theme. You will see sailed ships in blue, green, and purple instead of the card symbols to play the low-value symbols. You will be taken on board a ship and the reels will appear on the background of a sea.

The high-paying symbols in this game are four characters: a red Captain with his sword drawn, a green female buccaneer with her gun aimed at an unseen enemy, a blue male buccaneer with a parrot sitting on his shoulder and a purple monkey who is poised to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Lower-value symbols comprise three different pirate ships: a large green ship, a medium-sized blue ship and a smaller purple ship.

Things improve further since the aforementioned cannons can also come into sight below the second, third, and fourth reels during the free respin. The cannons will then shoot a random number of cannonballs. Any icon hit by a cannonball will turn into a wild substitution symbol, enabling players to create more winning combinations.

As simplistic as it sounds, the Buccaneer Blast special feature is very nicely rendered. The symbols hit by the cannonballs transform into animated pirate ship flags with a trademark skull image. We were slightly disappointed by the absence of a free spins round as it would have been a nice addition to this otherwise fantastic Playtech creation.

Despite not being the most graphically-rich slot, we’ve come across. Buccaneer Blast packs quite a punch – medium to high variance, the win both ways mechanic can be lucrative especially if you form 5 of a kind wins.
