Pirates Pub Slot by Pragmatic Play

The entire bonus structure revolves around a two-stage free spins system that builds toward a multiplier-heavy conclusion. Stage 1 starts when three or more wilds land on the same spin, awarding a random number of free spins - anywhere from 5 to 15 depending on how many wilds triggered the feature. During this phase, every wild that lands marks its cell on the grid. If another wild hits an already-marked cell, the marking upgrades, stacking up to five times.

Stage 2 kicks in after Stage 1 ends, adding 2 to 5 extra spins. All the markings from Stage 1 convert into sticky wilds that stay locked for the remainder. Each sticky wild carries a multiplier tied to how many times that cell was upgraded. When multiple multiplier wilds sit on the same winning line, their values multiply together - so a 3x and a 4x on the same payline produce a 12x multiplier on that win.

Retriggering works only during Stage 1, where three or more wilds on a single spin reset the count. Stage 2 is always a one-shot deal. The buy bonus costs 70x total bet and guarantees a triggering spin with three to five wilds, though the random split means outcomes vary sharply.

Setting is a pirate tavern rendered in a bright, cartoonish style - beer mugs, gold coins, crossed swords, and card suits shaped like pirate insignia fill the reels. The pub interior glows with warm lantern light against a stone-walled backdrop.
