Sail the Seas Slot Features

We aboard this five reel Pirate ship as we set sail on the Sails of Fortune slot online in search of treasure filled with big payouts and plenty of slot features to keep you entertained.

You’ll find low-paying card suit symbols mixed in with higher-paying fish, harpoons, messages in a bottle, pirate lady and the red-bearded pirate captain.

It’s simple graphics, remind us a little of the Book of 99 slot, but it’s a completely different theme with different slot features.

And it’s the slot features that will make or break this Relax Gaming Sails of Fortune slot machine, so let’s find out what’s in store.

Mystery Map Respins

Sails of Fortune is a high volatility slot machine. As you spin you’ll notice that the wins are few and far between, as you watch your casino balance quickly sink to the depths of the ocean.

And it’s going to be hard (not impossible though) to regain your losses as the Mystery Map Respins which in theory should appear in the base game, doesn’t show up very often.

When it does though in the form of a map symbol with red ? on it you’ll start your bonus round.

Where you’ll get a free spin of the reels as long as a map symbol is present on them. On every spin all of the maps will reveal the same symbol. After any wins have been paid the map symbols on screen will move one reel to the left and respin.

It works much like the Walking Wilds in the Jack and the Beanstalk slot except instead of a wild symbol you have mystery symbols.

It’s fun, exciting, and offers a lot more value of money for your spins as there’s the potential for them to carry on a while at no extra cost to you.

The worst we’ve managed to get is 0x our bet with the best being around 80x our bet from a good Mystery Map Respins feature.

But it’s in the free spins where this Sails of Fortune game adds even more excitement.

Buy your way to Free Spins

There’s two ways in which you can trigger the free spins, one is via the usual way many online slots games have which is by finding 3 or more scatters.

And the second is by buying the Treasure Hunt Free Spins feature.

That’s right, if you’ve got the expendable cash you can click on the Buy Free Spins treasure chest located to the bottom left of the reels and buy yourself entry into the free spins.

This will cost you a hefty 70x your current bet which for many is quite steep, but if you do you’ll get an increased RTP from 96.17% up to 96.65% offering in theory more wins.

Sails of Fortune Free Spins with Mystery Expanding Symbol

Called the Treasure Hunt Free Spins, when you find 3 or more of the Skeleton Key scatter symbols you’ll trigger the free bonus rounds.

Here you get 8 free spins for 3 scatters with every extra scatter that triggers them rewarding you with 1 extra free spins. So 4 scatters will give you 9 free games for example.

Once they’ve started any Mystery Symbols which appear on the reels during your spins will act like they do in the Mystery Map Respins in the base game. Only this time they also expand to cover the reel they are on.

This as you can imagine lead to more free spins, bigger wins and extra value from your real money spins.

But there’s a twist in the tale. Every 3 golden coins you collect during your free spins will add an extra symbol to the end of the expanded Mystery Symbol. This will change the ways to win from the standard 243 ways up to a max 7776 ways to win if you collect the right amount of coins.

It could if you’re lucky land you with wins over 100x your bet or more, which is great if you’ve bought the feature, but this is gambling so don’t always expect the wins to cover your bets.

The most we got when playing to write this Sails of Fortune review was 80x our bet.

Review Conclusion: Sails of Fortune is Value for money

If you like slots which keep you entertained for longer then the Sails of Fortune mobile slot or online game is going to give you just that.

When the Mystery Map Respins shows up it can last just a few or a good 20 – 30 on occasion giving you extra chance to win.

The Free Spins provide plenty of action too, much in part to the walking expanding Mystery Symbols, which can offer up to 7776 ways to win.

Is this one of the best pirate slots around? Probably not. Are you going to have fun playing? Only if you like high risk games, which have potential to pay but long periods of waiting. And that’s the thing about this game those walking map symbols can keep you waiting for what are not that impressive wins.

Overall it’s fun to play, does provide some action, but you’re going to have to budget and have the patience to trigger those free spins, that is unless you have the budget to buy them for 70x your current bet.

Go give it a spin at a one of our top Relax Gaming slots sites and see if you can find the treasure within.
