7 Seas Raiders

7 Seas Raiders is a pirate adventure from Yggdrasil, built by the partner studio Neotopia Gaming on the GATI platform and released on 15 September 2026. The reels hang like a dark sail on the deck of a wooden ship, a tropical island rises from the turquoise sea behind them, and three animal medallions – a lobster, a turtle and a dolphin – guard the left side of the screen. The game uses 5 reels and 4 rows with 1,024 ways to win, the RTP is 96%, and the volatility sits in the low-to-medium range.

The Crew On The Reels

The higher-paying symbols are the members of a young pirate crew: a bearded old sea dog lit by a burning torch, a dark-haired girl in purple, a boy with a red parrot, a blonde lookout with a spyglass and a pink-haired girl. The low symbols are the four card suits, drawn as coloured fruit shapes in yellow, red, blue and green. The red-hatted captain with the eye patch is the Wild, and he also appears on the title screen of the game. Everything is bright, clean and cartoonish, more family adventure film than dark pirate saga.

1,024 Ways And Multiplying Wilds

Wins are formed by matching symbols on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel, in any position, so there are no fixed lines to follow. The captain Wild lands only on reels 2, 3 and 4 and only in the base game. He replaces every symbol except the Scatters, Ships, Kraken, Treasure Chests and the Bonus symbol, and he multiplies the wins he takes part in: one Wild doubles the win, two Wilds make it 4x, and three Wilds make it 8x. Because the Wild can stand on three reels, a full row of crew portraits through three Wilds is the strongest base-game hit.

Three Scatters, Three Powers

The Scatters are round golden badges in three colours, and each colour belongs to one of the animals on the left: the lobster stands for Extra Spins, the turtle for Extra Prize and the dolphin for Extra Mult. Any Scatter can trigger the Super Spins, and when one does, its animal medallion lights up and its power is unlocked for the round. One, two or all three powers can be active at the same time.

Super Spins, Ships And The Kraken

The Super Spins work like free spins: you get 5 spins at the bet of the triggering spin. The Wilds leave the reels, and three new symbols take their place. Ships carry cash prizes of 0.4x, 1x, 2x, 3x or 4x the total bet. The Kraken sinks every Ship that touches it, including diagonally, so up to eight neighbouring ships can be collected at once. Treasure Chests award one of the unlocked powers each time they land:

• Extra Spins – one more Super Spin;
• Extra Prize – every Ship prize grows by a random 0.4x to 4x the bet;
• Extra Mult. – the total win multiplier, which starts at 1x, goes up by one and applies to all wins of the round.

There is a smart twist for the powers that were not unlocked at the start. If a sunk Ship belongs to an inactive power, that power is switched on and you also get 2 extra spins. The Super Spins cannot be retriggered, so these extra spins and the chests are the only ways to make the round longer.

The Island Pick Feature

The Bonus symbol is a message in a bottle, and in the base game it lands only on the first reel. When it appears, it may start the Pick Feature, a pick-and-click bonus game. Three islands are shown, you pick one, and it reveals a prize; then three new islands appear, for three rounds in total. The prizes are 1.2x, 1.6x, 2x, 2.4x, 2.8x, 3.2x, 3.6x, 4x, 5.2x, 8x, 20x, 200x or even 2,000x the total bet, so this small feature carries most of the top-end potential of the game.

Our Voyage

We played at €1 per spin. The base game kept paying small amounts through the 1,024 ways: one spin with pink-haired girls and the parrot boy spread over all five reels made 9 winning ways at once, and a captain Wild on the middle reels doubled several small hits. The message in a bottle showed up on the first reel a few times, but each time it flew across the screen with a “No Trigger” sign, so the Pick Feature stayed closed.

The Super Spins came from a single green turtle Scatter on the fifth reel. The game rowed us out to sea, the turtle medallion lit up and Extra Prize was unlocked for 5 Super Spins. The reels turned into open water full of red and blue Ships worth 1x to 4x the bet, and on the third spin a red Kraken surfaced in the middle of a large fleet. Turtle Treasure Chests raised the Ship values again and again, so several Ships climbed to 2.40x and 2.80x before they were sunk. The round ended with a “Dead in the water” screen and a total of €20.97, about 21x the bet from one Scatter.

RTP, Volatility And Max Win

The theoretical return is 96.0%, as stated in the rules of the game. The volatility is low to medium, which fits the steady rhythm of the base game. The maximum win is 2,204x the bet, and the 2,000x island of the Pick Feature is the most direct way towards it. Bets start at 0.25 and go up to 100 per spin. There is no bonus buy, so every feature has to be won on the reels.

A Calm Voyage With Surprises

7 Seas Raiders is a good choice for players who like colourful themes and a lower-risk game with plenty of small moments. The multiplying Wilds keep the base game lively, the three Scatter powers make every Super Spins round a little different, and the island picks give a rare shot at a big prize. Fans of extreme volatility may find it too gentle, but for a relaxed session it is easy to like.
