Pragmatic Play · 2022
5x3 grid, 20 paylines and high volatility define Pirate Golden Age, a Pragmatic Play video slot. This page covers its paytable, bonus mode and RTP.
A 5x3 grid with 20 paylines frames Pirate Golden Age, a video slot with an adventure theme of pirates and treasure. Wins pay left to right from reel 1, and a line needs at least 3 matching symbols to pay. The WILD substitutes for every symbol except the BONUS. The BONUS scatter counts on all reels, wherever it lands, and it is the symbol that opens the free spins.
3+ BONUS scatters anywhere in the grid start Free Spins, which award 7 spins on special reels. In that mode every MYSTERY symbol lands and transforms into one paying symbol or a WILD per spin. Every 5 MYSTERY symbols collected award 1 to 3 extra spins. Multiplier and Mystery Symbol sit alongside the Wild and Scatter.

5 steps
Read this before the first spin, when you pick a bet and want to know what follows.
A$0.20 up to A$100 is the bet range, so pick a bet before the first spin. The 20 paylines run left to right from reel 1.
3 matching symbols from reel 1 onward make a win on a payline. WILD substitutes for all paying symbols except BONUS, so it completes lines.
5 reels carry WILD, which substitutes for every paying symbol except BONUS. BONUS is a scatter that counts on all reels, so its position on a line does not matter.
3 or more BONUS scatters anywhere start the Free Spins, which award 7 spins on special reels. Every MYSTERY symbol lands and turns into the same paying symbol or WILD per spin.
A$100 is the highest bet here, so a limit set before the first spin marks where a session stops. The result of a session cannot be known in advance.

Most readers wonder what triggers the bonus and how many spins it really gives.

Two modes to try
Worried about losing money on early spins? The demo takes that worry away.
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs an account and the legal age of 18+.
Play for realThree BONUS scatters anywhere on the 5x3 grid start the Free Spins, but how often that happens cannot be known in advance. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP of 96.49 says. A high volatility game can pay nothing for long stretches and then land a big hit, so a short run tells you little about the next one.
96.49 is the RTP listed for Pirate Golden Age, but which version runs in a given lobby is shown only in the game rules. Open those rules before you set a bet and read the percentage they name. The table below shows that figure per A$100 staked.
3,000 times the bet is the most Pirate Golden Age pays, and that ceiling is reached very rarely. Read every win against the bet that produced it, because the same multiplier means a different sum at each stake.
Pirate Golden Age explained
At Unibet Casino, the rules, the bets and the limits sit in plain view before you start.
5x3 grid, high volatility: wins land less often, but a single win can grow large. Pirate Golden Age sits at the high end of that scale, so the wait between wins can be long. How often the bonus appears cannot be known before you play.
A$0.20 to A$100 per spin is the full bet range of Pirate Golden Age in this market. Examples on this page use A$1 and A$10, which are sample bets, not limits. Check the bet before each spin, because every payout scales with it.
x3,000 is the highest multiple of the bet this slot can pay. At the top bet of A$100, that is A$300,000, and the Free Spins round is capped at the same x3,000 of total bet.
96.49% is the only RTP version of Pirate Golden Age, calculated on A$100 staked. RTP is a long-run average across many spins, so it does not predict what one session returns.
A$1 is the bet the paytable uses, so every symbol's payout is readable before real money goes in. The 20 paylines run left to right from reel 1. Set a bet from A$0.20 upward once you know the rules.
3 or more BONUS scatters anywhere on the grid start the Free Spins round with 7 spins on special reels. During that round, MYSTERY symbols transform, and every 5 collected MYSTERY adds 1 to 3 extra spins.
Choose with more context
Most players worry they picked the wrong game, so here are five others to compare against.
18+ only. Help is at the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and BetStop is the self-exclusion register for this market.
A$0.20 up to A$100 is the bet range, so decide what you can afford to lose before you start and keep it apart from rent and bills.
A$100 is the top bet, so decide your stop point before the reels turn and keep to it after a win.
A$0.20 is the smallest bet, yet losses add up over many spins, so set deposit and loss limits in your account before you begin.
20 paylines fill the 5x3 screen. If the game stops feeling fun, take a break, or register with BetStop if it keeps pulling you back.
