Buccaneer Bells Review

Playtech partner Rarestone is showing no sign of slowing down their Fire Blaze production, and Buccaneer Bells: Fire Blaze Golden slot comes hot on the heels of Sisters Gift. The idyllic asian theme has been replaced with a salty pirate adventure, and some tweaks have been made to the features and the math model, as usual.

You can place bets between 20p and £500 per spin as usual, but the number of paylines have been reduced to 40. The medium volatility makes for casual gameplay, but there are plenty of Fire Blaze titles with a higher potential than the 1,000x that’s on offer here. Visually, the game caters more to western punters than many previous titles in the Fire Blaze series.

Buccaneer Bells slot Features

The pirate captain is the wild symbol in this game, and he can appear on all reels except the first. The wild steps in for all regular pay symbols, like wilds usually do. Other than that, this game is all about the Hold & Respins feature and the Bonus Round.

You need at least 6 bell symbols anywhere in sight to trigger the Fire Blaze Golden Respins feature. The triggering bells turn into cash coins, and become sticky on the reels.

Instead of a total win calculation in the end, like is usually the case, your winnings are summed up for every new cash coin you land. Every new coin also becomes sticky on the reels, and the respins tally reset to 3 again for each coin you land.

In addition, you can land the Mini, Minor and Major jackpot coins, and this means that you win the corresponding jackpot. You can land more than one jackpot per feature, and the Grand Jackpot is won when you fill the reels with nothing but cash coins and/or jackpot symbols. The 4 fixed jackpots are worth the following:

• Mini Jackpot equals 12x your stake
• Minor Jackpot equals 20x your stake
• Major Jackpot equals 100x your stake
• Grand Jackpot equals 1,000x your stake

The pirate ship is the scatter symbol, and you need at least 3 anywhere on the same spin to trigger the bonus round. You win 2x, 10x or 50x your stake from 3, 4 or 5 scatters respectively, and you get 8 free spins no matter how many scatters above the minimum of 3 you land.

The bonus round doesn’t come with any twists or extras this time, but you can retrigger it by landing 2 or 3 scatters on the same free spin.

Review Summary

Anyone who’s come into contact with the Fire Blaze Jackpot series will pretty much know the drill. Usually, the bonus round comes with a unique twist, but this time the twist is the fact that no twist exists. You can win up to 160x your stake on a single spin, which is not extremely impressive, and therefore the Hold & Respins feature is your best bet at higher payouts.

The fact that you get a new win calculation for every cash coin you land makes Buccaneer Bells stick out from the rest of the Fire Blaze series. Still, the Grand Jackpot is worth only 1,000x here, which is lower than many of the other games. You either like this concept, or you don’t, and fans of the Rarestone/Playtech series will probably enjoy this title until the next one comes along.

Pros

• Hold & Respins with win calculation on every new coin
• Bonus round with unlimited retriggers
• 4 fixed jackpots up to 1,000x your stake

Cons

• No bonus round twist

If you love Buccaneer Bells slot you should also try:

Pearls Pearls Pearls - sticks out from the rest of the Fire Blaze series due to its unusally high 5,000x potential. You can win this amount via the wild multipliers in the bonus round, and the Fire Blaze jackpot of 2,000x is also twice what’s on offer in the game at hand.

Jolly Roger 2 - is a gritty buccaneer title from Play’n Go, and it comes with 5 reels and 20 win ways.

Pirate Gold - is a very solid Pragmatic Play buccaneer title that plays out on 5 reels and 40 win ways. You can look forward to a Hold & Respins feature with a whopping 32,270x potential, as well as a bonus round with unlimited retriggers.
