1717 Caribbean Pirates Review

Pirates have always been popular in pop culture, especially after the legendary Pirates of the Caribbean franchise came out. The 1717 Caribbean Pirates slot by developer Edict has nothing to do with the movies but also has a lot of action on board. The game immerses you deeply into the life of buccaneers and offers you to become one, taking you on an adventure across the Caribbean region to hunt for riches and honor.

Loading the game takes players to the legendary pirate stronghold, namely Nassau island which was declared The Republic of Pirates officially back in the day. Plus, you also get to explore five different islands during the bonus features, which is covered in the respective section below. As the title of 1717 Caribbean Pirates implies, the actions of the game take place in the 18th century, and on the reels, you'll see some of the famous pirates of that age. When it comes to the slot's appearance and dynamic, it offers perfect aesthetics with high-end graphics and an epic soundtrack. The background image showcases a view of the central street, and in the center is sitting a standard 5x3 reel setup.

Symbols create winning combinations across 40 win ways, though, the number is adjustable and you can also select either 10 or 20 lines.

Playable on any device, the 1717 Caribbean Pirates slot comes with a betting range of €0.4 to €80 per spin, which should appeal to many.

1717 Caribbean Pirates Slot Features

The 1717 Caribbean Pirates slot revolves around the Treasure-Quest feature, which in turn can trigger one of the five bonus games. Look out for Map Pieces during the base game that can appear on reels 2, 3, and 4. Should you collect all three, the feature begins.

A random not yet-visited island is randomly chosen and the corresponding bonus is triggered. Then, it is randomly determined if you win the treasure or not. If this is not the case, the treasure island is marked as 'visited'. Otherwise, a win is given and all treasure islands are marked as 'unvisited' again. The treasure islands are as follows:

• Kingston - randomly awards from 3 to 5 duels. You can either collect your win or proceed to the next duel for a chance to win a bigger prize.

  

  The possible prizes range from 1x to 50x your bet.
• Havana - awards 10 free spins with extra Wild symbols. Whenever they land in view, they stick to the reels and stay for the remainder of the feature.
• Tortuga - awards 10 free spins with extra Wild symbols, which transform all visible pirate symbols into Sticky Wilds. Additionally, certain combinations award you +3 extra spins.
• Cayman Island - awards 14 free spins with extra Wild symbols and a win Multiplier. Each Wild that lands in view increases the multiplier value by +1x, up to 25x. Meanwhile, the multiplier decreases by -1x when no Wilds show up.
• Crooked Island - awards 14 free spins with extra Wild symbols. When a Wild lands on the middle reel, it expands to cover it entirely and removes the lowest royal symbol from the reels.

  

  

  Each elimination also awards +1 additional spin.

Last but not least is the Gamble feature, which is offered after each win you score during the base game. First is the Card Gamble, where you need to guess the color of a face-down card. Should you guess correctly, the win will be doubled. Next is the Ladder Gamble, where you climb up or down the ladder for a chance to increase your winnings.
