Pirate Respins

Pirate Respins Overview

Pirate Respins is a high-seas slot from Red Rake Gaming, released on 25 January 2024. It plays on 5 reels and 3 rows with 25 paylines, and the whole design is built around one idea: every win earns a respin, and every respin removes a symbol from the reels, so the grid gets thinner and the lines get easier to fill.

The RTP is 95.3% – the same figure appears in the demo’s own configuration – the variance is medium, and the maximum win is 1,147x the bet.

The Reels and Symbols

The reels float over a turquoise sea with a sandy island shore behind them. Two pirate portraits lead the paytable: a bearded captain in a red coat and a female pirate with a feathered hat and a flintlock. Next come a treasure chest full of gold and a pair of crossed sabres.

The rest of the reels are filled with skulls in different outfits – one with an eye patch, one wearing a green bandana, one with a red bandana, and one under a tricorn hat. They look alike at first glance, so it pays to watch the colours when a line lights up.

How the Respins Work

Any winning spin triggers a respin. With each respin one symbol type is removed from the reels, and the column on the right side of the screen shows which ones are still in play – removed symbols are crossed out with a red X. Fewer symbol types means more matches, so a winning streak tends to feed itself until a respin finally comes up empty.

Wild symbols stay fixed in place for the duration of the respins, adding a second reason why a chain of respins can build up.

Our base-game screenshot before the feature shows how the reels look at full strength: both pirate portraits stacked on several reels, sabres and chests scattered between them, and a modest 5.20 win on the meter. Every respin after a win like that starts peeling this crowded picture back, one symbol type at a time.

Free Spins and the Multiplier Ladder

The feature awards 10 free spins; our screenshot shows the “Congratulations! You’ve won 10 free spins” panel over a base-game grid full of pirate portraits. In the free spins the respins become unlimited: they keep coming for as long as the wins do.

A tall BONUS panel on the left of the reels holds the multiplier ladder: x3, x6, x9, x12 and x15. The rungs light up one by one as the respin chain continues, so the longest streaks are also the best paid.

One detail is easy to miss: the free-spin counter in the corner does not drop while a respin chain is running. In our round it stood at 6 free spins through three separate screenshots of respins, and only moved on once the chain ended.

Our Free Spins Round

We played at a total bet of 10. The round’s running total, taken from five screenshots in order:

• 21.48 – a line of red-bandana skulls paying 20.40, with only the x3 rung lit.
• 55.28 – eye-patch skulls across several lines for 36.00, the ladder up to x6.
• 95.72 – treasure chests stepping down the first three reels for 54.00, the ladder up to x9.
• 168.07 – green-bandana skulls filling the middle of the grid for 67.20, with 5 free spins left.
• 348.71 – eye-patch skulls on many lines for 79.20, with 2 free spins still to play.

By that point the round had already returned 34.9x the bet, with two spins remaining.

Buying the Free Spins

A Buy Free Spins button sits to the right of the reels. At a total bet of 10 the confirmation box reads “Buy 10 free spins – 383.5”, a price of 38.35x the stake. Our round above had reached 34.9x with two spins left, which shows how close a typical bonus can land to the purchase price – it is a feature for players who enjoy the ride, not a shortcut to profit.

Bet Settings

The total bet is changed with the plus and minus buttons around the TOTAL BET display, and the published range runs from 0.25 to 75 per spin. The 25 lines are always active. A PAY TABLE button at the bottom left opens the symbol values and rules.

Theme and Presentation

Red Rake keeps the look clean: bright teal reels, glowing blue win lines and oversized gold numbers for every payout. The respin state is marked by a red RESPIN ribbon on the round spin button, so you always know when the reels are running on a streak.

Who It Is For

Pirate Respins suits players who like cascading-style chains without the cascading grid. The shrinking symbol set and the climbing x3–x15 ladder make the free spins the heart of the game, and the 1,147x cap keeps the risk moderate. It is a good fit if you enjoy watching a streak build rather than waiting for one huge hit.

You can try this game on MrJones Online Casino. There’s a unique casino bonus offer of 300% up to £1200 for a limited time.

Pirate Respins was not available at any of our six partner casinos when we checked on 28 September 2026, so the casino above is a general recommendation. The free demo on this page runs on Red Rake’s own server.
