Ghost Pirates pokie

Splashes of saltwater flying in your face, fanned by the wind, sail and massive waves that sometimes roll on the deck. Such feelings arise in the gambler, who launches Ghost Pirates pokie for the first time. The theoretical return to the player percentage (RTP) is 96.9%. The maximum amount of winning per single spin is 45,750 coins, which can be won during the free spins feature. Please note that it is a clone of the Victorious pokie. Be sure to play in the demo mode for free and without registration.

Personal testers' opinion about Ghost Pirates pokie

We can say that it is not a bad pokie, but Victorious has become much more popular among players. At Ghost Pirates, the prize pool is divided equally between the usual spins and "the bonus free spins feature". In this case, in an ordinary game, the probability of getting any winning reaches 41.12%. The free spins feature is triggered every 138th spin. However, the pokie is in the average range to complete the bonus requirements (the wagering rating is 5.56 from 10). If you do not have a serious reason to gamble here, choose the Victorious pokie. Note that RTP numbers are higher when playing via 243 lines.

Recommendations and review from the testing team

  • This pokie, despite its similarity to Victorious in gameplay, is much less popular, although it’s no worse than its clone (except that it has outdated graphics).
  • The gameplay, like its clone, is clumsy. Unlike Victorious, the pokie gives not only the lowest paid symbols but also lines of the highest paid symbols.
  • In contrast to many others, this pokie often gives out scatters that fail to reach the reels (scatters on reels 1, 2, 4 and 5; scatters on reels 2,3,4,5), despite the higher number of lines, and in that way pushes the player to play further. At the same time, it puts 5 scatters not only in the usual spins but also in the bonus one, which brings quite large winnings.
  • A separate advantage is that NetEnt experts did not change the re-triggers issuance gameplay. Like in Victorious, the pokie quite often issues re-triggers, and in large quantities, including five in the bonus game, which brings a big win.
  • Despite the many winning combinations, the pokie is quite poor at maintaining balance, although it is significantly better than its clone.
  • Therefore, if no free spin was triggered for 100-150 spins, leave the pokie. If free spins were often triggered, but with small wins, do not rush to leave the game. Usually, the pokie is still compressed and offers several good bonus games in a row.

I would recommend trying this pokie for real money and bonuses, but on short game sessions. Make 30-60 spins to check the frequency of winnings, and the pokie should trigger free spins at the beginning of the session; if it doesn’t, there is no point in continuing the game. Playing with bonus money is a good way to observe the behaviour of the pokie (Hot or Cold), and then make a decision to continue for a long game or change it.

The probabilities are declared by Netent (for playing on 243 pay lines)

  • The total return-to-player percentage (RTP) in the pokie is 96.9%. Of these: 66.4% in the usual and 30.5% in the bonus free spins feature.
  • The probability of falling out of any winnings is 42.6% in the usual spins and 45.3% in the free spins feature.
  • The probability of falling out of the bonus free games (3 or more scatter symbols) is 0.68%. The probability of re-trigger is 1.43%.
  • The maximum winning in the usual spins with a bet of 1 coin per pay line is 7500 coins. 22,500 coins - during free spins. The total winning is 45,750 coins.

The hidden parameters and settings of Ghost Pirates pokie (data from testing)

  • The frequency of falling of the bonus is statistically every 138th spin (0.72%). Note that this number indicates the triggering, not the number of scatter symbols involved. Same for retriggering of the feature.
  • The probability of a hit (any winning) is 41,12%. Here, you will see numerous small winnings. 
  • The distribution of the winnings is 50% in the main game and 50% in the bonus feature. Note that this number differs significantly from NetEnt's official numbers (66% / 30%).
  • The maximum payout during the tests was 395x. This is a good result for the pokie with a 6.71 volatility rating. 
  • The average winning from the bonus was 71x. This is a high number above the middle line. Players would see 10-20x very rear here. 
  • Volatility is 6.71 out of 20 (average). The maximum winning potential of Ghost Pirates pokie can be released in the free spins feature via 243 lines. Usually, the player needs to catch several retriggers or hit a line hit (with the wild) of top symbols. 
  • The rating for the pokie's wagering is 5.56 out of 10. Not bad, not good - depending on the current "mood" of the pokie.
  • RTP of 96.9% allows getting a positive mathematical expectation of winning at the casino.

Description of the pokie

Pirates reputed to be far from reserved guys in pursuit of profit, easily coped even with a well-armed enemy, taking the ships boarded, and capturing valuables carried in them. But now, the whole trophy can be yours; all you need is to launch this pokie for free in demo mode and show a little courage! Algae enlace once the most beautiful frigates, scurrying between the half-rotten skeletons of sea creatures, the mysterious blue of the sea depth - such a picture appears before the gamer. Complete the image of burning torches, silhouettes that once plied the sea, pirates, ghosts, and a sinister grin sparkling skull with a crossed pair of revolvers.

How to win at Ghost Pirates pokie (conclusion)

If you've read articles in other pokies, you know how we'll start - "Always test the pokieс in demo mode before playing for real money." If you do not want to "lose" time with demo versions, make 50 to 100 spins and determine if you want to keep playing. We recommend playing 243 lines because RTP is the highest there. If you have had a few bonuses but are poorly paid, it is advisable to continue playing; it is likely that the next few will have good winnings. Generally, if you are not too big a fan and you have no reason to play here, we think Victorious is the better choice. For the hunter bonus, our recommendations are absolutely neutral.
