Slot Review: Skull Duggery

Shiver me timbers! If you love wearing a bandanna and an eye patch, have memorized every word that Johnny Depp utters as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean series of movies, and have a pet parrot, a wooden leg, or a penchant for buried treasure, you will undoubtedly enjoy this highly-detailed and very enjoyable online slot game. Actually, you really just need to like pirates! This colorful, interactive slot machine title starts out with a video animation showing one sneaky pirate pilfering the gold from the ship’s hold in the dead of night and secreting it on a remote island.

This five-reel, nine-payline slot game is jam-packed with colorful icons culled from the life of a pirate – a map with a dagger marking the spot, a grinning skull studded with gold teeth, and a leering captain in a tri-cornered hat. Mixed in with these images are icons of juicy fruit, a slot game trope that we like a lot better than the use of random letters and numbers to fill the reels. Coin values range from one penny to one dollar, with maximum coins of forty-five. There’s a twelve thousand coin, non-progressive jackpot. You won’t get rich playing Skull Duggery, but you’ll have heaps of fun!

The “Skull Duggery” logo is the wild symbol, and can stand in for any other icon on the reels in a winning combination, with the exception of the Dagger, the Pirate Captain, or the Scatter Skull. This wild symbol also triples the payout of any combo it completes! Three or more Scatter Skulls anywhere on the reels win you a prize, and three or more Thief icons take you to the funny and rewarding bonus game. Choose one landlubber to walk the plank, and see how much you’ve won after s/he lands in the water!
