Pirates Pub

Pirates Pub takes the usual treasure hunt away from tropical islands and drops its crew into a dimly lit tavern where the real prize is built over two separate bonus stages. Pragmatic Play keeps the base game deliberately traditional with 5 reels, 3 rows and 9 fixed paylines, but the Wild Scatter introduces a feature where individual reel positions are marked, upgraded and eventually transformed into Sticky Multiplier Wilds. With high volatility, a default RTP of 96.03% and a maximum payout of 5,000x the total bet, Pirates Pub saves nearly all of its personality for a bonus that rewards repeated Wild landings in exactly the same positions. Regular payouts require at least three matching symbols on consecutive reels from left to right, beginning on reel 1. The paytable combines card ranks with pirate themed premiums such as bottles, swords, hats and golden coins. The Pirates Pub logo is the Wild Scatter and substitutes for regular paying symbols while also carrying its own payout value. Unlike many Pragmatic Play releases, there are no additional base game modifiers, cascades or random multipliers competing for attention. Landing at least 3 Wild Scatters anywhere on the grid triggers the first stage of Free Spins. The number awarded is random within a range determined by the trigger. Three Wild Scatters provide between 5 and 8 Free Spins, four award between 8 and 11, while five provide between 11 and the maximum of 15. The positions occupied by the triggering Wild Scatters are immediately marked before the first bonus spin begins, giving the feature some progress from the moment it starts. Stage 1 is entirely about creating and improving marked positions. Whenever a Wild lands, the position underneath it receives a frame. If that location was already framed, the frame is upgraded by one level instead. A position can progress as high as Level 5, so repeated Wild appearances in exactly the same cell are more valuable than Wilds constantly landing in new areas. The objective is therefore not simply to collect as many Wilds as possible, but to create a useful spread of frames while also pushing some of them towards the highest multiplier level. The first stage can be extended before the feature moves forward. Landing at least 3 Wild Scatters during Stage 1 awards another batch of Free Spins, giving the player more opportunities to create new frames and upgrade existing ones. This is particularly valuable because everything built during the first part of the bonus determines the reel configuration used in the second stage. Once all Stage 1 Free Spins are exhausted, Stage 2 begins automatically and randomly awards between 2 and 5 additional Free Spins. Every framed position created previously now transforms into a Sticky Wild. The upgrade level of that frame determines the Wild multiplier, ranging from 1x on a basic marked position to 5x on a fully upgraded Level 5 frame. These Wilds remain locked in place for every Stage 2 spin. Multiple Sticky Multiplier Wilds can influence the same winning combination. When this happens, their multiplier values are added together before being applied to the payout. A winning payline passing through a 2x Wild and a 5x Wild therefore receives a combined 7x multiplier. This additive structure makes developing several strong frames during Stage 1 particularly important, as the second stage can begin with multiple permanent multipliers already positioned across the grid. Stage 2 cannot be retriggered. Once its randomly awarded 2 to 5 spins have been completed, the entire feature ends and all marked positions disappear. This gives the bonus a clear build and release structure. Stage 1 is primarily about preparation and may produce relatively ordinary results, while Stage 2 converts all of that earlier progress into permanent Wild coverage and multipliers for a short final sequence. Where feature purchases are permitted, Pirates Pub allows direct entry into the bonus for 70x the total bet. The purchased feature uses an RTP of approximately 96.00%, slightly below the standard 96.03% configuration. Alternative base game RTP versions of 94.94% and 94.02% can also be supplied. Stakes range from 0.09 to 99 per spin because the game uses nine paylines rather than the more common twenty line Pragmatic Play structure. Pirates Pub has a theoretical hit frequency of approximately 27.47%, equivalent to a winning result around once every 3.64 spins. Free Spins arrive naturally approximately once every 141 spins, while the probability of reaching the 5,000x maximum payout is around 1 in 7,898,894 spins. There is no progressive jackpot and no Megaways system. The standout mechanic is instead the transition between its two bonus stages, where every Wild landed early can alter the final reel setup and repeated Wilds in the same positions can eventually become permanent 5x multipliers.
