The seas were my domain in Adventures of Captain Blackjack Online Slot by Microgaming and Just For The Win. With 5x3 reels and 20 paylines, this high volatility, swashbuckling adventure takes place in an island bay with hidden treasures waiting beneath the waves. The reels are filled with pirates’ tools and the ship’s crew, while a treasure map leads the way to treasures untold. The game’s features include free spins and this slot is playable across all platforms.

Kraken Wheel
I observed Kraken coins showing up on the reels every few spins, but they didn’t appear to do much. Then, on one lucky spin, they activated a segmented bonus ship’s wheel that spun to award me a Mini, Minor, Major, or Mega jackpot prize worth 15x, 40x, 250x, or 5,000x my bet, respectively.
Free Spins
When I landed 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols, the bonus game launched where I was instantly awarded 6 free spins and a base win multiplier of 1x. The number of scatters corresponded to the number of feature picks I would receive. The first part of the bonus round was a pick-me game where I was presented with 9 sealed treasure chests.
I clicked on the number of chests that corresponded to my feature picks and received awards that included up to 9 extra free spins, up to a 3x additional win multiplier, or symbol conversions (high-value symbols upgraded to wilds or low-value symbols upgraded to high-value ones). Once the free spins sequence began, I was able to unlock even more feature picks by landing additional scatters. Landing 2, 3, 4, or 5 scatters gave me 1, 2, 3, or 4 additional feature picks, respectively.
Adventures of Captain Blackjack slot sails in already charted waters but delivers a stirring experience nonetheless. The game’s graphics are typically impressive for a Just For The Win title, with the accompanying sea shanty-style soundtrack enhancing the sense of adventure. The feature selection is fairly standard, with no modifiers to excite the base game. The only genuine excitement I felt was for the two-tier free spins feature where cracking open the chests to reveal my bonus round boosts added a real thrill to the gameplay experience that promised a top possible reward per spin of $250 000.
Overall this is a good game, but I wouldn’t go so far as to call it excellent as it covers old ground in an admittedly glossy and attractive way.
