Sails of Riches

Sails of Riches is a pirate adventure slot from Play’n GO, released on 19 February 2026. It plays on a 6x4 grid with 4,096 ways to win, returns 96.2% at high volatility, and takes bets from 0.10 to 100. The top prize is 10,000x the bet. A pirate ship wild, coin scatters, a treasure chest scatter, jackpot prizes of up to 1,000x and free spins with multipliers set sail on a stormy sea.

A Storm On The High Seas

The reels float over dark, rolling waves between rocky cliffs, under heavy storm clouds. On the left, a pirate galleon with red sails and a skull and crossbones flag rides the swell, its lanterns glowing in the dark. The “Sails of Riches” logo with a ship’s wheel sits above the grid, and a banner in the top right corner cycles through the jackpot prizes – Grand 1000x, Major 100x and Minor 50x.

The symbols are a pirate’s treasures: a bearded pirate captain, a treasure map, a skull and crossbones flag and a foaming tankard of ale, plus A, K, Q, J and 10 in icy blue letters. The wild is a golden pirate ship, and gold coins and a treasure chest are the scatters.

The Paytable

At a bet of 100 the paytable shows these values for six, five, four and three of a kind on a way:

Pirate captain – 500 / 300 / 200 / 100
Treasure map – 500 / 300 / 180 / 100
Skull flag and tankard – 300 / 200 / 150 / 70
A and K – 140 / 100 / 50 / 30
Q, J and 10 – 100 / 60 / 40 / 20
Wild – 600 for six

The rules add that the “WILD substitutes all other symbols except COIN SCATTER and TREASURE CHEST SCATTER”. Single ways pay modestly – six captains are 5x the bet – so the game relies on many ways and on the features.

Ways Wins In Our Session

Each win is announced with the number of ways, and every one in our screenshots matches the paytable:

Three Qs on 1 way – 20
Three tankards with a ship wild on 2 ways – 2 × 70 = 140
Four Ks on 3 ways – 3 × 50 = 150
Five tankards with a wild on 1 way – 200
Five As with two ship wilds on 8 ways – 8 × 100 = 800

The 800 win shows how quickly the ways multiply: As stacked on several reels and two wilds high on the grid turned a 1x value into 8x the bet.

How 4,096 Ways Work

With six reels of four rows, a win needs matching symbols on neighbouring reels starting from the left, in any row. The number of ways is the number of matching symbols on each reel multiplied together – four on every reel gives 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 × 4 = 4,096. The 800 spin paid on 8 ways, which is what two matching symbols on three of the reels produce: 2 × 2 × 2 = 8 combinations of the same five-symbol win.

For players, this means stacked symbols matter more than single high symbols. Two tankards on each of the first three reels are worth more than one pirate captain on each, because every extra symbol doubles or triples the number of paying ways.

The Pirate Ship Wild

The golden ship with its sails spread and the word WILD on its hull joins any regular combination. In our screenshots it helped the As, the tankards and more. Slot catalogues list wilds with multipliers among the features, which gives the ship even more importance once the free spins begin.

Coins And The Treasure Chest

The gold coins are scatters, and one of our screenshots shows what happens when they gather. The regular symbols vanished, leaving a dark grid scattered with small stars, and four coins stayed on the reels while a column of blue lightning struck the second reel. Slot catalogues describe respins, bonus symbols and symbol collection, which fits this coin feature. The treasure chest is the other scatter that the wild cannot replace.

Jackpot Prizes

The banner above the reels shows the jackpots as multiples of the bet – 1000x for the Grand, 100x for the Major and 50x for the Minor – so at a bet of 100 the Grand is worth 100,000. They sit alongside the 10,000x maximum win as the game’s biggest targets.

Bet Levels

Quick bet buttons under the reels offer 10, 20, 40, 50 and 100, and the full range runs from 0.10 to 100. All prizes scale with the stake: at a bet of 10, six captains pay 50 and the Grand jackpot is worth 10,000.

High Volatility In Practice

At a bet of 100 our balance moved between about 22,810 and 23,880. Base game wins ranged from 20 to 800 – 0.2x to 8x the bet – and several of them were smaller than the stake. That is typical for a high volatility ways slot: the base game keeps things ticking over, while the coin feature, the jackpots and the free spins are where the balance can really move.

Controls

The controls follow Play’n GO’s familiar layout: the balance on the left, the quick bet buttons in the middle and the bet on the right, with a large round spin button and a smaller autoplay button beside it. An info button in the bottom left corner opens the rules and paytable, and a thin bar at the very bottom repeats the balance, the bet and the last win.

Who It Is For

Sails of Riches is for players who like pirate themes and high-volatility ways slots. The stormy atmosphere is well done, the 4,096 ways keep small wins coming, and the coin feature, jackpot multiples and free spins hold the big potential up to 10,000x.
