How to Play Jolly Roger II

Play’n GO are one of those providers who know how to deliver a great user experience; by designing games that are intuitive and appealing to they eye, they ensure that every player can get stuck in, whatever their experience with gaming. Jolly Roger II showcases their trademark accessible design and game mechanics, so you don’t need to be a high roller or a regular slot gamer to enjoy spinning the reels.

The aim of the game is like any other slot, land-based or online: to spin the reels and get matching combinations of symbols. To get started on this awesome pirate adventure, all you need to do is choose how big you want your bet to be… The game gives you plenty of scope for betting, so whether you have a small or a big budget, you’ll be able to get involved. Bet a minimum of 20 pence and a maximum if £100 per spin; with a potential top jackpot of 5,000 times your stake, you don’t need to be a high roller to win big on this game.

Once you’ve decided on your budget, all you need to do is spin those reels and start enjoying the various features Play’n GO have included. You can spin the reels manually, which allows for more agency over your spending, or by using the Autospin function, which allows you to pre-set your own betting limits.

 

Jolly Roger II Features & Benefits

As usual, Play’n GO have been generous when it comes to features in Jolly Roger II. Although most of them are fairly obvious once you start playing, some of them may pass you by like pirate ships in the night. Here are some of our favourite features:

  • Vibrant colours, striking visuals and slick graphics with an original soundtrack.
  • Classic slot game setup meets a fun pirate theme.
  • Compass feature – this exciting bonus feature is activated at random and multiplies any winnings by as much as 10 times your wager.
  • Wilds – the Wild symbol in this game is the skull and crossbones, a valuable symbol that replaces others to form winning combinations.
  • Scatters – Scatter symbols are another handy feature that boost your score – in this game the Scatter is the one-eyed pirate captain. See 3 or more of him across the reels and he’ll trigger the Bonus Quest feature.
  • Bonus Quest – a game within a game, this feature asks you to choose from 12 scrolls, many of which offer you a selection of Bonus features to enjoy:
    • Instant Prizes – get an immediate win of anywhere from 2 to 20 times your wager.
    • Rum Bottle Free Spins – choose from a selection of rum bottles, being careful to avoid the poisoned ones (the safe ones will turn into Wilds).
    • Treasure Hunt – this awesome feature allows you to explore a map and unearth a load of different treasures, including Multipliers, Free Spins and more!
    • Battle Spins – dare to do battle with some fearsome pirates? This round is all about Free Spins but with a limited number of lives.
  • RTP of 96.2% and medium-high volatility – what you would expect from an online slot game of this calibre.
