About Blackbeard’s Quest
Tom Horn Gaming’s Blackbeard’s Quest is one of many pirate-themed slots you can find online. This game doesn’t have much of a backstory, but most players will already be well-versed in the tale of Blackbeard, one of history’s most notorious pirates. The game is loosely based on the man but uses poor graphics to push its loose narrative. In terms of gameplay, Blackbeard’s Quest offers up a basic five-reel, nine-line structure, with stakes costing anything from 0.01 per line per spin up to 18.00 a turn on this pirate slot. Prizes are worth around 5,000x a bet, and you’ll need three of the infamous pirate captain symbols to appear on a line to win that prize. As the symbol also doubles up as a wild, it is one you will rapidly become familiar with in this medium to low variance slot.
Special Features
As touched on, Blackbeard is a wild in his own slot. This symbol can deliver top paying non-progressive prizes but also replace any icons save for scatters. There are two of those to look out for.
Failing to land Blackbeard on the reels isn’t the end of the world. This Tom Horn Gaming developed slot also has decent-paying standard symbols. The first mate can serve up wins worth up to 1,000x a bet, while Blackbeard’s ship (Queen Anne’s Revenge) can pay wins worth 500x a stake. Caribbean coasts deliver 250x a bet at most, while the high playing card symbols deliver wins that are neither here nor there.
There are two types of scatters, both represented by treasure chests. The first of these is in the base game and appears as a chest on a beach. The second is a chest inshore in a jungle. Three of the first on the first, third and fifth reels trigger a free spin round.
Bonus Feature
Once the free spin bonus becomes active in Blackbeard’s Quest, you’ll get to play with ten free games. The second type of treasure chest (those in the jungle) become wild symbols during the round. You can use these scatter wilds to trigger additional free spins, too.
There is a gamble mode/feature that can be triggered following any win, but we don’t pay much attention to it, and we advise you not to. At most, you can double your winnings, but you’ll only have a 50% chance of success of doing so. We’d steer clear of this gamble mode every time.
