Dead Man's Chest - 5 Reel Slot Review 2024

Dead Man's Chest 5 Reel

Dead Man's Chest, the variant with the 5 reels, comes with 20 paylines on it, and it's an OpenBet design. The game's top jackpot of $50,000 is accompanied by wild symbols, by scatters and by free spins.

This game is the second version with the same name, Dead Man's Chest, but with a different number of reels and paylines. While the first variant is a classic, without any features, this one has it all, from more reels and paylines, to bigger prizes, better looking symbols, wilds and scatters. The game's background is an island at night, a tropical setting like the one you would expect from a pirate's Treasure Island. The reels take most of the space on the screen though, and the symbols on it are a combination of symbols you found in the classic version, with some that are new. At the base of the paytable we get the playing cards, the symbols from J to K, each one with the island background. Next, we have a bottle of rum, a pirate, gold and silver coins and the pirate ship. The game's special feature symbols are the skull with crossbones and the parrot.

Having a total of twenty paylines to bet on, the game's maximum number of coins is 20 in one wager, while their value is up to $50, with the lowest value being $0.25. The game's biggest possible bet of $1,000 can result in a prize of 2000 coins, or $50,000.

Winning the top jackpot requires two things. First of all, the player has to use the maximum coin value on that payline. Second, he needs five symbols with the pirate ship on one of the active paylines. The 2000 coins that are awarded constitute the biggest prize possible in the game, unless you get this combination with one of the symbols being a wild, since that multiplies it by 2.

The wild symbol, which comes with a multiplier of 2x for the combinations it helps form, will substitute for other symbols when possible.

The scatter symbol, with the parrot image on it, will award both cash and free spins, starting with the 2x the bet and 15 spins awarded for three scatters, and continuing with the four symbols prize (3x the bet and 20 spins) and the five scatters prize (25 spins for free plus 10x the bet).

An enjoyable game, much more so than the version with 3 paylines, unless you're a fan of the classic slots.
