Sails of Riches – Overview
Play’n Go released a new online slot game called Sails of Riches. Which to be honest is a clone of another title that was released last year, called Tomb of Gold 2.
So the only real change is the theme. Which went from an Egyptian theme to a sort of sailing, pirate theme. Where the main character on this game seems to be someone named Klaus Störtebeker. Apparently a legend from folklore from Germany, Denmark and even The Netherlands. But unsure of the guy ever even existed. But it’s seems to be a pirate, that’s all you need to know really.
The game uses 6 reels that are each 4 symbols high and comes with 4096 ways instead of paylines. Meaning that symbols pay from left to right, starting on the first reel, no matter where they are.
Besides standard, low paying card symbols, you will also find high paying pirate themed symbols. There are also scatter and wild symbols on all reels. And last we have golden coins, which can also appear on each reel.
Sails of Riches comes with a big maximum payout of 10.000 times your bet. And is a high volatile slot game.
Features
Vitalien Lock
If you land a golden coin symbol on each of the reels, you will trigger the Vitalien Lock Feature. If you land 4 or 5 coins, you will trigger a second chance, to get the 5th and/or 6th coin.
You will receive 3 re-spins and only blank spots and golden coins can appear. Each time a new golden coin appears, it is locked in place and re-spins are reset back to three.
The feature ends when you have no more re-spins or have filled the entire screen.
Each golden coin will now reveal a multiplier of between x1 and x10, which is applied to your total bet. A full screen will award a reward of 500x bet.
Free Spins Feature
3 or more scatter symbols will award the free spins feature.
Before free spins start you will spin a wheel to determine your starting number of free spins and starting multiplier. The wheel will award between 15 and 30 free spins with a starting multiplier of between x1 and x5.
During free spins feature each scatter will award 1 more free spin and each wild will increase the multiplier by x1, x2 or x3, depending on what multiplier is on the wild symbol. The maximum free spins is 65, there is no maximum multiplier mentioned.
Ship of Riches
If 5 or less coins land on the reels, they are collected on top. And there is a chance is randomly triggers which will award 1 of the jackpot amounts, which are worth x20, x50, x100 and x1.000 times bet. This feature can only trigger during base spins, since coins don’t appear during free spins.
Verdict
Sails of Riches is a fine game, but nothing special.
I already wasn’t the biggest fan of Tomb of Gold 2, so, since nothing has changed except the theme, I’m not a big fan of this game either.
I even like the Egyptian theme a bit more to be honest, because it’s a bit more colorful.
