About Pirates Pub

Released in December 2024, Pirates Pub is an original Pirate slot from Pragmatic Play with a tavern aesthetic rather than the usual open-sea setting. Format 5×3 / 9 paylines, RTP 96.03%, max 5,000x, high volatility.

The visual world is a pirate tavern interior: rum tankards, a drunken captain, a parrot, and a brown-red-gold palette with a rowdy pirate-bar atmosphere. Mechanics include Free Spins triggered by 3+ scatters, cumulative Free Spins multipliers, accessible gameplay, and a 100x stake bonus buy (banned in the UK) — the most original theme in the Pirate Pragmatic series.

Pirates Pub is available at top-ranked crypto casinos. See also Pirate Gold (2,500x), Pirate Gold Deluxe (5,000x), Pirate Golden Age (top max 15,000x), Release the Kraken Megaways and Eye of the Storm.

The game in pictures

Screenshots of the actual game, not promotional art — every screen is described from what it shows.

Pirates Pub — The base game — A five-reel, three-row grid set in the back room of a tavern: the green flask lands on three cells and the skull coin on two, while the BUY FREE SPINS banner hanging on the left is priced at $126.00 for the BET of $1.80 shown at the bottom.

Pirates Pub — Game rules, page 1 — Paytable page 1/7: the skull coin leads the regular symbols with $60.00 for five at this bet, ahead of the pirate hat and the crossed cutlasses at $40.00; the PIRATES PUB sign is the WILD, appears on all reels and pays $100.00 for five.

Pirates Pub — Game rules, page 2 — Page 2/7: the free spins round runs in two stages, the number of spins drawn at random from the triggering WILDs — 5 to 8 spins for 3 WILDs, 8 to 11 for 4 WILDs, 11 to 15 for 5 WILDs; the row of portraits shows the WILD and its four marked versions at x2, x3, x4 and x5, the STICKY WILDs of the second stage, paying $100.00 for five.

Pirates Pub — Max win — Page 3/7: just two blocks on this page. MAX WIN limits the win to 5,000x bet, and BUY FREE SPINS states “buying it for 70x current total bet”, with 3, 4 or 5 WILD symbols able to hit randomly on the purchased triggering spin.

Pirates Pub — A medium volatility — Page 4/7: the payline diagrams are numbered 1 to 9 across three rows, above a theoretical RTP of 96.03% that drops to 96.00% when using “BUY FREE SPINS”; the bet runs from “MINIMUM BET: $0.09” to “MAXIMUM BET: $243.00”.

Pirates Pub — How to play — Page 5/7, HOW TO PLAY: the panel goes through the interface icon by icon, from the SETTINGS menu to the AUTOPLAY button that a second click stops, by way of the three-position speed control — normal, quick spin, turbo spin.

Pirates Pub — Settings menu — Page 6/7: below SETTINGS MENU and INFORMATION SCREEN, the BET MENU block states that the bet is set through the COINS PER LINE and COIN VALUE fields, and the foot of the page repeats the 5000X bet cap.

Pirates Pub — Autoplay — Page 7/7: the last page carries only the AUTOPLAY heading and two lines, including the SKIP SCREENS option that skips the feature introduction and end screens after a short period of time.
