Pirate Rocket Demo (Backseat Gaming) Slot Demo & Review

Game Overview

I often wonder how amazed people from the past would be if you went back in time and told them about some of the modern inventions and how we now live our lives. Just imagine telling Blackbeard that one day pirates would be the theme of a game you played on something called the internet, where you jetted off into the sky and could potentially win money. Needless to say, I think he’d have you walking the plank in under 60 seconds, and that’s if you were lucky.

Anyway, here we are with a hybrid pirate/space-themed online slot, so in your face Blackbeard. Oh yeah, the title, that would be Pirate Rocket, a 5-reel slot from Backseat Gaming with 19 paylines, expanding wilds, and a maximum win of 12,500x.

Theme & Design

If you’ve ever wondered who was going to be the first to colonise another planet, you’ve now got your answer. As Pirate Rocket hits your device, you’ll see a somewhat rocky background to the game, but in the distance you’ll notice the Jolly Roger flying high, so this is very much pirate territory. As for the design, this release is a clone, which I’ll get to shortly, but Backseat have upped the ante, and the overall feel, look, and graphics are far better than the original.

Okay, as for that clone and original title I mentioned, that is Chocolate Rocket, so if you’d rather spin with something sweeter than pirates, you know where to go.

Pirate Rocket Gameplay & Features

Backseat Gaming’s Chocolate Rocket is a 5-reel, 5-row online slot with 19 fixed paylines and a return to player percentage of 96.37%. The betting structure of the game is comprehensive, offering gamblers of all budgets a chance to play with stakes ranging from a minimum of €0.10 a spin up to a maximum of €75.

It’s up and away and over to the gameplay, where the wild rockets are the star of the show, expanding upwards whenever they appear on a reel and are part of a winning combination. They can have a starting value of up to 20x, and every position they then expand will see their value doubled.
