Setting your bet value

Prior to starting the game you should set your bet per spin. You will need to set two values: the number of active paylines and the size of your line bet.

Use the +/- buttons next to the Lines section to activate 1 to 25 paylines. The more paylines, the higher your chances to win.

Use similar +/- buttons to set your bet per line next to the Bet section. Your bet per line may range between 0.01 and 2.50 credits.

Next to both of these windows you will see the Max buttons. By using them you will set the maximum values with one single click.

The minimum bet will be 0.01 credits with 1 active payline and the line bet of 0.01. The maximum bet will be 62.50 credits with 25 active paylines and the line bet of 2.50.

Launching the reels

Once you have set your bet, go ahead and launch the reels by clicking on one of the two buttons: either Spin or Autoplay. The Spin button will spin the reels one single time. The Autoplay button will launch the autospins, where you will not have to click the button every time to spin the reels.

When you click Autoplay, a window will pop up on the screen where you can set the number of autospins from 1 to 100 by using the slider. Then click Start to launch the autospins. While the reels are spinning on their own, the Autoplay button turns into the Stop Spin button. By clicking on it you can exit this mode prematurely.

Symbols and Multipliers in Gold Ahoy

Gold Ahoy has 13 symbols that create winning combinations when 3 or more appear next to each other along an active payline. 

The amount of your reward will be comprised of your bet per line times the appropriate multiplier for a specific combo. Each combination provides its own multiplier. Its value will depend on the number of symbols and the type of symbols involved in the combination.

Let's see what it looks like in practice: suppose 3 Aces land on the reels. Their positions cover two paylines. Your bet per line is 0.03 credits. Further calculation is as follows:

• The multiplier for three Aces = 20
• 0.03 x 20 = 0.6 credits
• Since these three Aces have landed on two paylines, then 0.60 + 0.60 = 1.20. Your reward for this spin will be 1.20 credits

Values of symbols

Symbols in Gold Ahoy can be subdivided into high-paying ones and low-paying ones. Combos with high-paying symbols will be considered successful when two identical symbols land in sequence. Low-paying ones will form winning combos starting from three pictures on a payline.

Combinations are counted from left to right starting with the first reel. The Scatter is the only exception — it earns you a reward regardless of its position on the reels.

High-paying symbols have the following multipliers:

• The pirate symbol — 10, 250, 5,000 and 25,000 for 2, 3, 4 and 5 pictures in a combo
• A white sailing ship — 5, 100, 750 and 10,000
• A Jolly Roger flag with a skull and cross bones — 5, 50, 300 and 1,000

Low-paying symbols have the following multipliers:

• A bottle in the sand and a pirate dagger — 25, 100 and 500 for 3, 4 and 5 pictures on a payline
• Ace and King — 20, 50 and 250
• Queen and Jack — 10, 30 and 150
• Ten and Nine — 5, 25 and 100

Special symbols

Gold Ahoy features three special symbols: The Wild, the Scatter and the Bonus.

The Wild is a picture of a pirate. This symbol has the highest multiplier and is capable of acting like any other symbol as well as completing the winning combos. The only symbols that the Wild cannot substitute for are the Scatter and the Bonus symbols.

The Scatter is depicted as chest. Three or more Scatters will trigger the Chest Bonus round. The Bonus symbol depicted as a map will earn you a series of free spins.

Double-up Gamble Game

You have a chance to boost your winnings each time you land a successful combo. Every time you come up with a winning combo on a payline, the Gamble button becomes active. Click on it if you would like to take a risk and double or quadruple your reward.

A face-down card will come up on the screen. To the left of it you will see two buttons — Black and Red and the window showing your prospective reward. Click on one of the buttons to guess the colour of the card and double your winnings.

To the right of the card you will see four buttons with suits. The window will show the amount of your prospective reward. If you guess the suit of the card correctly, your reward will be quadrupled.

If your answer is wrong, your winnings will be forfeited and you will go back to the main game. If you do not want to risk your reward, click on the Take Win button. The winnings will be added to your balance and you will go back to the main game.

Summary

The pirate-themed Gold Ahoy slot provides quite diverse gameplay. The gambling game, the bonus round and free spins will boost your rewards substantially.
