How to cite

Slot Summary

A five-reel pirate grid gives Raise the Sails a 243-way starting point, then lets IGT widen the field through Reelset Changing during its Free Spins structure. The release couples that expansion with Symbols Collection, additive symbols, and Fixed Jackpots, so its Pirate and Sea themes are tied to accumulation rather than ordinary ways wins alone. With a 95.97% RTP, the game reads as a collection-led slot whose grid size can become part of the reward.

How It Plays

Regular play uses 5 reels, 3 rows, and 243 ways, so matching symbols pay across adjacent reels without requiring a fixed payline selection.

Qualifying symbols contribute to collection states linked to the Free Spins levels. A relevant trigger converts that accumulated state into a changed reel set for the bonus.

Theme & Atmosphere

Pirate, Sea, and Treasure define the subject, with Action and Adventure supplied by the search for valuables across an open-water setting.

Animals and Nature support the maritime scene rather than displacing it. The theme stays focused on sailing, weapons, and treasure recovery throughout the feature structure.

Features & Win Potential

Symbols Collection tracks Energy toward the game's bonus states, while additive symbols contribute further value to that process. This gives selected base-game landings importance beyond immediate ways wins.

Fixed Jackpots form a separate prize layer, and the Wild Symbol assists ordinary combinations. Reelset Changing becomes relevant once Free Spins move play beyond the starting grid.

Bonus & Free Spins

Free Spins can operate on expanded reel sets, with the selected level determining how far the grid grows beyond its regular 5x3 form.

The larger configurations increase the available Multiway count during the round. Access depends on the corresponding collected symbols and the qualifying trigger appearing together.

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 (Medium). The model is calibrated so the average return equals this slot's published RTP (95.97%), with wins capped at its top multiplier (1,000×).

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.
