One of the favorite books of all times is “Treasure Island” and everything related to this adventure has always had a lot of success with readers, viewers, listeners and players. This works for online slots, as well - as soon as one of those appears, thousands of players run to the casino that has it to give their luck a try and take part in a winning adventure of their own. This time, we’re presenting you a Distance Gaming release of the sort - “Buccaneer’s Gold” which may not be as thrilling as some other titles with this theme, but will certainly make your play worthwhile if Lady Luck looks upon you and awards you with one of the occasional lucrative prizes.
“Buccaneer’s Gold” Characteristics
The graphics in this 5-reel, 15-payline video slot are more basic than you’ll generally find in online slots, even in Distance Gaming, some of whose slots feature much livelier animations. Still, their simplicity has its charms, making them look like torn from an old adventure book. The symbolics include many buccaneer ship and treasure related scenes and items such as maps, treasure chests, ship cannons, a raging volcano and a lucky mermaid as the ship’s charm. Actually, putting all this together in the right order, you can see a story about a man who goes through a lot until he finds the hidden treasure.
In terms of the payouts, thanks to the fact that the slot pays both ways (left to right and vice versa), you’ll note frequent winnings. However, if it weren’t the case, it would be quite difficult to get something, as most of the combinations require at least four symbols of a kind. Winning is further facilitated by special symbols that appear here - wilds and scatters, without whose help, “Buccaneer’s Gold” would not have the same payout quality.
Finally, turning to the financial side of this adventurous slot, it’s a game suitable for most players - all except highrollers who have a preference for really high bets. Namely, the game offers coin sizes from 1 cent to $1, which makes it ideal for those with low and medium betting preferences.
Special Features
Distance Gaming is not a company that bases its slots on the strength of its special features, but rather on good base game payouts. You can see that in “Buccaneer’s Gold” as well - it only features a wild and a scatter.
Of the two, the wild is much more useful - embodied in the game logo symbol, it appears very often and helps you get much more out of the slot, as it substitutes for other symbols, except for the scatter. What’s more, it brings the maximum prize of 2000 coins if you hit five of them on a payline.
In regard to the scatter, its only role is to multiply the total bet when three or more of them show up on the reels.
Except in the game’s dynamics, one cannot feel the lack of other special features, as even with just these two, the amount of winnings is very good.
Conclusion
Even though “Buccaneer’s Gold” can be considered to be one of the simpler video slots out there, it’s still a title that deserves attention, mostly because of its visual and audio authenticity and thanks to some excellent winnings that await you from the moment you enter this exciting, treasure hunting, buccaneer world!
