It’s been a busy month for NetEnt, the multi-award-winning Swedish software provider.
Slot releases have come rolling off the conveyor belt quicker than usual. Hot on the heels of Hotline 2, comes Rage of the Seas, a swashbuckling pirate-themed slot machine packed with more than meets the eye. Hoist the flag and sail away to riches beyond your wildest dreams via a sophisticated, immersive and potentially life-changing reel engine.
The latest addition to the award-winning portfolio delivers ultimate thrills with a varied bonus features offering, although you’ll need to pull your weight on deck if you’re to see the booty!
Forget ‘x marks the cross’, your adventure takes you across the vast oceans where stacked and spreading wilds can boost not only your bankroll but the number of ways in which you can win!
Join the crew from as little as 20p a spin and hoist that flag to sail away to a destination packed with untold riches. Accessible across all devices, Rage of the Seas is perfect for slots aficionados who love the thrill of regular wins, albeit small. It’s action-packed from start to finish and ensures a gaming experience which maintains player engagement from start to finish!
Andy Whitworth, Chief Commercial Officer at NetEnt said on its release:
“Rage of the Seas is one of the most feature-loaded titles in our portfolio. We’ve taken the gameplay to the next level whilst maintaining a level of familiarity, so it is easy for players to follow instantly. The game’s classic theme and top-quality graphics create the perfect setting for the action to play out, making this a slot with enhanced engagement and retention potential.”
Man Over-Board!
Designed to resemble the bow of a pirate ship, Rage of the Seas is dark, fun and packed with edge of your seat entertainment! As soon as you arrive for deck duty, the first thing you’ll notice is the number of win ways. It starts at 1,024 and can increase through one specific feature (we’ll get to that soon!). Audio is superb and aims to deliver you to the heart of the action without the need to travel! Tightrope, skulls, cannons, lanterns to help navigate the deep, dark waters are all prominent fixtures, and so is the crew too!
There’ll be no worry of the parrot repeating what he sees here. He’s under strict instructions to keep his beak shut at all times! Crew members consist of both males and females, and both are paid equally, so there’s no disputing who is the fairer sex! Gunpowder barrels, rum bottles, skull and crossbones (with added pistols), wheel, anchor, octopus the size of houses and the captain and his crew are waiting for you to help secure the loot of a lifetime!
First thing’s first – bets! The control panel is housed to the lower of the screen and delivers information on balance, wins and your stake. Whether you’re a conservative player looking to bet small and stretch your cash or a high roller with money to burn, the bets offered will suit. Click the coin icon on the control panel and select one of the pre-set cash values raging from 20p to £400 a spin!
Audio is immersive, but it can get a little taxing after a while. If you prefer to play in silence, reach for that mute icon. Manual spin and auto-play modes are offered to allow you to press spin after spin or to sit back and watch the action unfold! Prefer to play a little quicker than the reels are spinning? There’s a turbo button for that too!
Bonuses and How to Win Big
No pirate ship is complete without a monkey to cause havoc and Rage of the Seas is no different.
Randomly on any spin, a ‘boost’ box with breathing holes can appear and produce a monkey – the monkey who could land on reels 2, 3 and 4 at the same time to activate 4 feature spins!
At the same time, 1 of 5 random features gets activated on the next spin. Now, as if by magic, the 5×4 reel engine expands to offer 1,792 bet ways on reel two, 3,136 bet ways on reel three and all three opened up will guarantee the maximum of 5,488 possible bet ways!
If more boost symbols land, 2 additional feature spins are awarded. However, it’s important to note these feature spins come at the cost of your initial bet.
Random features include:
- Spreading Wild: This octopus wild can land on reels 2, 3 and 4 and stick up to 2 spreading wilds onto adjacent symbols (except 1 and 5).
- Stacked Wilds: Again, landing on reels 2, 3 and 4 covering from 1 to 4 positions.
- Major Reel Upgrade: All anchor and barrel symbols are removed to make way for possibly bigger wins.
- Minor Reel Upgrade: All wheel and bottle symbols are removed to make way for bigger wins.
- Multiplier: Your wins are multiplied by 2x.
Free games are awarded on the presence of three or more scatters (skull and crossbones) and during this feature, 3 random features are always active on each spin. If you have remaining feature spins active when your free games come to an end, they will be added to your free game’s total.
Based on maximum bets, the highest paying symbol is the fierce-looking captain. He delivers wins of £1K on each win line and with up to 5,488 possibly win lines, you could be in-line for an epic win!
Remaining crew members (2 female and one male) award up to £500, the parrot and shark award up to £300 each. The bottle of rum, wheel, gunpowder barrel and anchor award up to £160 respectively. Again, those sums are based on a win line and there are a possible 5,488 to benefit from!
Rage of the Seas is available in demo mode at most NetEnt powered casinos, although to win real money, you need to play for real.
