The higher-value symbols are treasure-hunting gear. The shovel pays 5x your bet for 5 on a payline, the compass pays 6x, the map pays 7.5x, and the chest pays 20x.
Wild symbols help you complete winning symbol combinations by standing in for any regular pay symbol.
Captain Skull & the Squidly Seas features 20 fixed paylines. To win, you must land 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel.
This slot’s bonus features include free spins, jackpots, prize collection and multipliers.
The green and red octopuses, Squishy and Suction Cup, can randomly leave their jars and jump onto the reels. Squishy will leave a column of coins behind, while Suction Cup leaves coins in a horizontal pattern.
The bony Captain Skull lurks next to the reels, and during the base game, he can randomly add coins to the reels, boost the values of any coins in view, or add extra wilds.
The Tentacle Collect symbol is a purple octopus that only shows up in the central position of reel 3 and acts as both a Wild and a Collect symbol. If there are any prize or jackpot coin symbols on screen when it lands, it will collect their values and add them to your total. The prize coins are worth 1x-00x your bet.
There are four jackpots: Mini, Minor, Major, and Mega. Every time a Jackpot coin is collected, the corresponding jackpot’s value will increase by 1x your bet and winning a jackpot will reset its value.
The Mini jackpot’s range is from 10x to 50x your bet, the Minor jackpot’s range is from 75x to 200x, the Major jackpot ranges from 250x to 750x, and the Mega jackpot is worth 2,000x to 5,000x.
When the Octopus Collect symbol lands on reel 3 during the base game, it can feed doughnuts to the octopuses above the reels. This can randomly trigger a Free Spins round where you will start with 6 Free Spins. During Free Spins, the Tentacle Collect symbol will always appear in the central position. You can activate Squishy Free Spins, Suction Cup Free Spins, or both simultaneously.
Squishy, the green octopus, can appear on reels 1, 2, 4, or 5. When Squishy lands on a reel, it will move down one position with each spin before falling off the edge. The red octopus, Suction Cup, can land on any reel, shift to up to 3 positions per spin, and fly off the reels when it reaches the top. Both Octopuses will act as wilds with random multiplier values per spin, and both can return once they have left the reels.
During Free Spins, Captain Skull randomly collects TNT sticks. The Captain can randomly create a Krakentastic Zone, which is a highlighted reel position that stays active until the feature ends. Coins that land in Krakentastic Zone will get their values randomly boosted by 2x to 300x.
Bomb symbols can land randomly on any spin and, when they do, they will be collected in the slot below the reel they land on.
Once you have collected a Bomb under each reel, you will activate both Squishy and SuctionCup Free Spins features simultaneously.
If you want to get straight to the free spins action, hit the Buy Bonus button. You will see a menu of options that allow you to trade some of your bankroll for instant access to the bonus feature. You can buy Squishy Free Spins for 50x your bet, Suction Cup Free Spins for 100x, or combined Free Spins for 150x.
This slot’s maximum winning potential pr spin is worth 5,100x your bet.
RTP stands for Return to Player and represents the expected wager-to-payout ratio a slot is expected to produce over the long term. Captain Skull & the Squidly Seas has an RTP of96.01%, which is just above average for online slots. The game features high volatility, meaning that wins can be less frequent but more rewarding.
Captain Skull and the Squidly Seas has an impressively crafted theme that creates a fun and creepy atmosphere with vivid visuals of a ghostly pirate ship and amusingly animated characters. The dramatic soundtrack might not completely match the humorous visuals, but it does a great job of matching the tension in the gameplay.
Get all the experience with none of the risk when you play a free slot demo. Free demos offer you virtual credits so that you can play as many spins as you like to get used to a game before placing real money bets.
Tentacled creatures from the depths of the ocean have the power to both fascinate and terrify us, and there’s no shortage of slots featuring octopuses, squids, and mythological Krakens.
Captain Skull & the Squidly Seas is bursting with action and winning potential, but newer players might find the gameplay challenging. This is an all-around great game with an excellent theme and impressive bonus features. As an experienced slot-enjoyer, I loved the wide range of features, but less seasoned players could easily get intimidated by the long list of bonuses and complex rules.
