Game Settings
8 Golden Skulls of Holly Roger™ is an online slot that may seem complicated at first, but once the game has been launched, it offers a thrilling ride packed with bonus features, and we’re here to simplify it. For starters, and most likely the case of most online casino slots, all the required settings to start playing can be found at the bottom of the screen, which includes the spin button, the available credits and current bet. The bet settings can be adjusted by simply clicking on the corresponding button – from a minimum of 0.20 to a max of 20 credits per bet. More information on the game symbols and bonus features can be found by clicking on the 3 horizontal lines at the top right, which will launch the paytable menu. That’s just in case, because as mentioned, we’re here to explain everything in detail, and we’ll start with the game symbols.
Game Symbols
The theme of 8 Golden Skulls of Holly Roger™ is obviously that of pirates and treasures, and in this case it’s an all-star female cast, with Anney, Charlotte, Jacquotte and Holly Roger taking charge, and making up the high-value symbols, while the A, K, Q, J and 10 playing card icons complete the lower-paying symbols. There is also a treasure chest, which acts as a Mystery symbol, so when it appears anywhere on the reels it will turn into a random symbol, in the hope of completing a possible winning combination. There is also the diamond symbol, which is the Scatter and, of course, the golden skull, also known as the FIREPOT™, and these two symbols will trigger exceptional bonus features, which are next on the map.
Exceptional Bonus Features
8 Golden Skulls of Holly Roger™ is a Megaways™ online slot, which means that, with every spin, the ways-to-win mechanic will change, and can expand up to 117, 649 ways to win with a single spin. The Rolling Reels™ feature is also in play – after every winning spin, the symbols that formed part of this win will disappear and make way for new symbols in the hope of a possibly even bigger win. The diamond is the Scatter, and landing 4 of these anywhere on the reels will trigger the Free Spins feature. Before this feature is played out, a Bonus Wheel will appear which you’ll get to spin to reveal the number of free spins and added Multiplier for the feature. Should 3 more Scatters land during the Free Spins feature, 4 extra free spins will be added to the total, with an additional 2 free spins added for every Scatter symbol landing thereafter. The most exciting part of any online casino game is a newly added feature and in the case of 8 Golden Skulls of Holly Roger™ it’s the FIREPOT™. On the left-hand side of the screen you’ll notice a ladder with cash prizes, which will increase or decrease depending on your bet size. Every golden skull (or FIREPOT™) symbol that lands during regular play will pay out the winnings according to the ladder. Land 8 golden skulls and the FIREPOT™ prize is yours, which is the highest possible cash prize that can be won on the ladder as per your bet size.
