Slot Summary

A six-column cluster grid gives Pirate Bonanza 2 a different winning pattern from its scatter-paying predecessor. Backseat Gaming keeps the cannon-and-bomb identity, then adds an R-Bomb that can refresh part of the multiplier sequence. The sequel's main change is how connected wins prepare the board for cannon fire.

How It Plays

Five or more matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically form a winning cluster. Those symbols disappear, replacements tumble into their places, and further wins continue the sequence.

Winning positions become highlighted. When a cannon activates those positions after a win, they reveal multiplier bombs; their combined result then multiplies the total tumble win.

Features & Win Potential

An R-Bomb collects the additive bomb multipliers and replaces those bombs with fresh ones. Golden bombs remain, then apply their multiplying effect after the other bombs resolve.

Pirate Bonanza 2 has several RTP configurations, including 96.32% and 94.31%. The configuration matters when comparing versions, while its high volatility describes a separate aspect of the payout distribution.

Bonus & Free Spins

Three scatters trigger ten Cannon Blast free spins. Highlighted positions remain until a cannon activates them, and cannon symbols have a greater chance of appearing during the feature.

Four scatters trigger ten Bombs Away free spins. Here, highlighted positions remain for the entire feature even after activation, allowing the same positions to contribute again. Neither round retriggers.

How this works

Each simulated spin either misses or returns a win drawn from a log-normal distribution, with the hit rate and spread set by the slot's volatility tier (High). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (96.32%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (20,000×).

This is a simplified, parametric model of the game's math — not its real paytable. It exists to make the house edge visible over many sessions, so the numbers above are averages across thousands of runs, never a forecast of one.

This is math, not a prediction. Real sessions vary wildly, and no strategy changes a game's built-in house edge. Play for fun, set limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
