Pirate Spirit Slot by Zillion Games

No Hold & Ring here. Pirate Spirit is one of the earliest Zillion Games releases, and it runs on a completely different bonus engine - a Wheel of Fortune jackpot triggered when five identical symbols land across a payline. Any symbol except the scatter counts, so five 9s or five compasses both spin the wheel. The wheel itself is where things get unusual. Five jackpot tiers instead of the standard four - Grand, Major, Maxi, Minor, Mini - and the segments don't just award single tiers. Some segments are combinations: "Maxi Minor Mini" pays all three at once, "Major Minor" stacks those two, "Mini x5" multiplies the Mini value five times over. That combinable structure means even landing a non-Grand segment on the wheel produces wildly different outcomes depending on where the pointer stops.

Free Spins trigger from three treasure chest scatters and award 12 rounds. The red-bearded pirate who stands beside the reels in base game becomes an Expanding Wild during the feature, filling whichever reel he lands on top to bottom. Both bonus paths - the jackpot wheel and free spins - are available through a 100x buy bonus, accessible via the crossed-swords button in the upper left corner.

Warm cartoon art with thick outlines on everything. The ship deck background has wooden planks, coiled ropes, iron cannons, and barrel stacks, with teal Caribbean water and misty mountain islands visible beyond the railings. Card values from 9 through Ace are done in gold-embossed lettering with a slightly weathered texture, and the themed symbols - compass, spyglass, rum bottle, cutlass, treasure map - sit in individual illustrated panels. The jackpot display runs across a wooden plank banner above the reels, five tier boxes labeled Grand through Mini, with the current wheel segments visible in a rotating strip just above those.
