Scruffy Scallywags Introduction
The five reel table is placed in front of a large sail, and is surrounded by the usual motifs including a skull and crossbones flag, mast, ladder and ropes. Low scoring symbols are made up of a scroll, pistol, cutlass and explosives while mid scoring symbols include a treasure chest, cannon and two fierce looking crew mates.
The big boys, the Cap'n and First Mate, are your best friends in this game, each one multiplying your bet by 200 when five or more appear on a payline.
How to play - pirate style
Bets are made across all 30 paylines. First players choose a coin value of $0.01 - $5.00 and then a bet level of 1 - 10. This makes your minimum bet just $0.30 and your maximum bet a fairly decent $1500.00. Autospin for up to 500 goes or simply press the spin button for each bet you make, adjusting your wager as you go.
Bonus features
There are a number of bonus symbols that you need to get familiar with and this includes the Bottle of Rum scatter which awards 15 free spins when three or more appear anywhere on the reels. All prizes during free spins are in fact doubled! The compass is an excellent bonus and when it appears it will spin itself and land on a prize such as free spins or a bet multiplier.
Scruffy Scallywags also boasts two wilds. The first is an anchor which simply substitutes for all but the rum and compass. The second is an octopus that also swipes to expand across 1 - 5 symbols.
Gamble option
This game also features the ever popular gamble option. Each time you make a win on a spin you have the option to gamble it all away or double it by hitting the gamble button. Once you hit the gamble button the screen transforms into a card game of beat the dealer. Should you win and double your win, you will be granted a second opportunity to double again, potentially quadrupling your original win.
Scruffy Scallywags by Habanero is firmly aimed at those with a bit of pirating (and pokies!) experience. There's a lot going on with standard wilds, expanding wilds, gamble features, a compass bonus and a scatter, but if you feel confident about your pokie abilities you'll pick it up in no time.
Absolute newcomers to pokies many enjoy something a little easier at first such as Jade Treasure or Kawaii Kitty. The best way to learn the ropes, however, is to play for free today with absolutely no risk to your pocket!
