Wild Buccaneers Megaways Slot Features

Wild Buccaneer Megaways is game two for Four Leaf Gaming, behind the impressively diverse debut, Clover Fortunes. What stands out with the studio’s flagship title, is the rich and varied gamble features, fueled by the Game & Fortune coin collecting mechanic. Wild Buccaneers Megaways carries the same system, so before we dive into the game features, let’s take a look at the customizable choices on offer.

Before you join the Buccaneer crew for a desert island spin, you can choose to raise your stake size by 50% and activate the Nitro Spins feature. Enabling Nitro Spins does not increase the symbol values but adds more fortune coins, more scatters, and more ways to pay, plus improves the treasure chests on the Treasure Trail. Nitro Spins can also be won in batches from the Super Spinner (detailed below).

Your basic spin of Wild Buccaneers Megaways uses the Megaways game engine to create a random number of ways to pay. Each of the six reels generates from two to seven rows on each spin, resulting in a random number of ways from 64 up to a maximum of 117,649.

Working in conjunction with the Megaways engine, the reactive win mechanic destroys winning symbols, creating space for existing and new symbols to cascade and fill the gaps. This process can lead to more winning combinations and a repeat of cascading symbols until no more wins occur. At the end of a spin sequence, the sum is paid before the next game round starts.

In combination with the dynamic reels and cascading symbols, at the start of each spin, treasure chests drop above each reel onto the Treasure Trail. Chests can contain win multipliers, wild symbols, or bonus scatters. The leftmost chest always starts at x1 and the values increase in succession moving to the right. Multipliers on the rear reels may be random incrementing factors and not necessarily in continuous x1 steps. Each winning cascade awards the contents of a treasure chest, starting with the first and moving by one to the right on the next tumble.

Win multiplier treasure chests will multiply the win from the triggering cascade, wild treasure chests will change all symbols in the reel below to wilds, and the bonus symbol chest contributes towards the scatter collection when reached. After the reaching the end of the trail, any further winning cascades will increment the multiplier by x1. The Treasure Trail always resets with a new random selection of extras between spins.

Collect four Four Leaf logo scatters to trigger the Free Spins feature. Initially, 10 spins are granted for landing four, plus two spins for each scatter thereafter. Upon triggering the feature, the Bonus Booster Gamble Wheel presents an option to risk all or just one part of your free spins for more. An inner wheel shows the risk in green and red wedges. Moving the slider to gamble fewer spins increases the size of the losing red section. In contrast, choosing to gamble more or all of your free spins will reduce red section sizes.

The outer wheel contains three prizes of +1, +2 or +3 spins. You can gamble as many of your awarded spins as you wish, as often as you like, until you lose all of your spins or reach the maximum award of 25 free spins. Should the pointer rest on red, you lose the gamble. Landing on green awards the number of extra spins in the outer wheel section the pointer lands on. You may choose to collect your current number of awarded free spins at any time.

When ready with your starting number of spins, you can enter the Wild Buccaneers Free Spins bonus. During the feature, treasure chest multipliers are persistent, and the first chest of a new free spin will appear with the last multiplier reached on the previous. Activating a wild chest will turn all symbols in the reel below wild, and reaching a bonus scatter awards two extra free spins.

Total winnings from the Free Spins at less than 80x your bet may be risked on the Bonus Replay Wheel for another round of Free Spins. A gamble wheel is divided into two sections of red and green according to the value of your winnings. Landing on the green section will replay your bonus. Note that your win from the initial feature will be forfeited and you will start with the same amount of free spins. Stopping on red will see you lose your winnings and return you to the main game. Beware, repeating the feature does not guarantee a better outcome.

At the end of any Free Spins bonus where total winnings exceed 80x stake, you can choose to use the Fortune Finder bonus game to gamble all or a part of your winnings for more. Any banked amount is safe and will be paid in any case. You may choose to skip this feature and collect your round result. Should you opt to play, the Fortune Finder presents sixteen chests and a prize ladder, calculated according to your winnings. Climbing the ladder will increase the gambled amount by fixed factors, starting at 1.3x up to a lofty 1,800x .

This bonus is a Pick ‘n’ Click game where unveiling a Four Leaf logo move you one step up on the prize ladder. The grid contains 12 chests with a Four Leaf logo and four with a skull. Revealing the latter will instantly end the feature and return you to the base game. Should you have risked only part of your win, then the amount will be paid out at this point. You can collect at any time between successful picks.

To date, every Four Leaf Gaming slot comes with the Game & Fortune mechanic. Fortune Coins randomly overlay low-value symbols on each spin and are collected in the Super Spinner, a wheel of fortune half tucked behind the play area. The coin collection is bet sensitive and will be stored between game sessions. You can use Fortune Coins at any time to swap or contribute towards buying in-game bonuses, rewards and loyalty features.

The Super Spinner can trigger randomly on any spin when coins appeared. Instead of being collected, they will instantly award a spin on the wheel. It will move to the front of the screen, displaying 16 wedges with awards as below. You get a single spin on the wheel to determine your prize:

• 4 x Cash Prizes: 80x, 120x, 500x, and 5,000x stake.
• 4 x Free Spins: 8, 10, 12 and 14 Free Spins.
• 4 x Fortune Finder: Fortune Finder feature with starting values of 10x, 15x, 20x, and 25x your bet.
• 4 x Lucky Spins: 10, 15, 20, and 25 Lucky Spins (Nitro Spins).

Under the Game & Fortune tab, you can access your Fortune Coin collection and Bonus Buy features. There are three options which can be purchased for cash, swapped for enough Fortune Coins, or a combination of the two. Options may vary depending on licencing jurisdiction. Direct entry to the Free Spins bonus costs 90x your bet. A turn on the Super Spinner will cost 60x your stake. And Nitro Spins can be enabled for a 50% increase in stake size or swapped for Fortune Coins at the click of a button.

Final Verdict

If you missed the debut release, Clover Fortunes, then Wild Buccaneers Megaways will give you a good impression of what to expect from Four Leaf Gaming. For its second creation, the young studio decided to jump into the heavily populated Megaways niche. Not only has it become rather crowded over the years by many licensees for the BTG game engine but also filled with numerous full or near-identical clones and upgrades from existing slots. Luckily, Four Leaf Gaming did neither of the two.

Wild Buccaneers Megaways is a real gambler’s slot with ample opportunities for a side hustle or extra gamble, and that in addition to the bonus features and the newly introduced Treasure Trail. Every player will be able to tailor a slotting session based on his or her own risk appetite. What’s more, in most cases, every gamble will offer you to bank a part of either free spins or winning amount. The most daring pirates might be lucky enough to return from their reel raid with wins of up to 50,000 times their bet. Avast Ye!
