Red Flag Fleet Introduction
Join the hordes of Chinese pirates! Red Flag Fleet is one of the great free pokies we have on our site and it is guaranteed to appeal to the buccaneer in us all. With slick graphics, plenty of paylines and a swashbuckling bonus feature, Red Flag Fleet is bound to be a hit. This game comes from WMS Gaming, one of the most established names in the online casino industry.
The fact that WMS has been producing video pokies for years does not mean it eschews innovation; indeed, Red Flag Fleet is a perfect example of how it keeps coming up with imaginative ways to give you wins.
Treasure island
Red Flag Fleet is a pirate-themed pokie featuring a whopping six reels organised in a pyramid structure. Reel one has two rows, reel two has three rows and so on up to reel six, which has seven rows. This layout gives you 192 paylines and you can adjust your betting quite flexibly over these. Starting from $0.40 for all 192 lines, you can raise this total stake all the way up to $80 per spin.
WMS Gaming has put a lot of thought into evoking the oriental pirate theme of this game, with an epic soundtrack accompanying your spins and a beautifully-painted harbour as the backdrop to the reels. When you hit winning combinations, thick lines of rope demonstrate on which paylines you have won.
The low value symbols are the standard card value icons J, Q, K and A, while the higher value symbols are a range of five pirates, rendered with very detailed illustrations. The Red Flag Fleet logo is the wild symbol, substituting for all other symbols except for the bonus symbol to make winning combinations.
This wild symbol can appear stacked on many reels - this means that more than one will appear on top of each other, providing plenty more opportunities to win.
Bonus booty
The bonus symbol is a Chinese junk with red sails decorated with a skull motif. If you can land three, four or five of these anywhere on reels two, three, four, five or six, this will win you a number of free spins. If you get three bonus symbols, you will win five free spins, while four bonus symbols will get you 12 free spins with 10 x your total bet.
Five bonus symbols will result in a massive 40 free spins with 50 x your total bet. While the free spins bonus round plays out, the background changes from daytime into night and the reels flip around so that there are seven rows on reel one, descending down to one row on reel six; in addition, at least two reels totally full of wild symbols will be added to the set on each of the free spins.
This means that you can really rack up some timber-shivering wins during this bonus feature, even if you only win five free spins. You can also retrigger the feature by landing another three or more pirate ship bonus symbols on reels one to five.
