ARRR! 10K Ways

One of the most interesting things is the low volatility already mentioned, which could be considered a rare sight or piece of information in this decade. Among other features, we count one wild feature and Respin with coin wins. We will write about these and other details next.

Details ARRR! 10K Ways game

ARRR! 10K Ways is a 6 reel, 5 row video slot with an even number of lines per spin of 10,000. Winning combinations require two to six matching winning patterns and/or wilds. There is also an additional row just above the main grid, helping generate more wins.
All winning combinations explode and any empty spaces are filled with new patterns. The payout percentage is capped at 96.10% and the maximum win ARRR! 10K Ways is 20,000 x the stake. Approximately one in three rounds is a win.

In the re-spins, among multipliers, different modifiers can also appear.

Symbols & Bets

Players can bet between $0.20 and $12 per single spin.
Low-value symbols in the paytable include silver coins with skulls and anchors and the four suits in the deck of gold coins. Getting three of the lower-paying symbols on the reels pays between 0.1x-0.2x, and 0.5x-1.2x if you land them on all 6 reels.
The high-value patterns include octopus, parrots, lady pirates and man pirates. Payouts range from 0.25x-2.50x for landing 3, and 2x-50x for landing 6.
In the special symbols we see the wilds (Jolly Roger) and scatter symbols (treasure chests) on reels 2-5.

Special features & Bonuses

Canon Wilds

The special feature in the base game can be triggered at the end of a non-winning spin. In this case, one to three positions are converted into wilds with multipliers of x1 to x5. If there are more than one wild in the same winning combination, their multipliers are multiplied by each other.

Bonus re-spin

A minimum of four scatter symbols or a bonus bet at x100 is used to advance to the respin feature. The same scatter symbols are locked to reels with coin wins. The reels have special symbols corresponding to the list below, and their appearance will reset the Respin back to three.

• Octopus: Collects all adjacent coin wins.
• Pirates: collect all coin wins.
• Treasure Chests: x1-x1000 coin wins.

When the Respin runs out or some lucky player runs out of reels full of symbols, it’s the player’s turn for a bonus reel of their choice. This wheel has 12 sections with green and black blocks. The green blocks are used to move up the eight-level payout carousel, while the black blocks are used to move down the ladder. The odds are x0, x0.50, x1, x1.50, x2, x3, x4 and x5.

Conclusion

In terms of numbers, ReelPlay has created an interesting video slot, as even the low volatility does not limit the maximum payout to the x1000 level where you might suddenly imagine it to be. Of course, talking about maximum payout is silly anyway, but everyone gets the point.
Again, there’s nothing new about the Wild and Respin features, but these ‘Money Train 2’ type bonus games – albeit now in a slightly truncated form – are really popular and there’s that wheel at the end that doesn’t automatically take all the wins from the higher levels.
