To put it easier in terms of hitting 5 of a kind symbols on here, it would be about a 1/3 of the time that I hit them because I found 5 of a kind harpoons, boots, and my highest 5 of a kind hits.......crabs for $20 without the 2x wild stacked squids!!! It is indeed better though that the Wild stacked squid symbols on the 2nd and 4th reels can double my winnings! As they are limited to just those two reels, they are enough to chain together any symbols I find!

As a player, I really do think that more should be provided for these stacked wild octopus symbols so that a flurry of winnings can arise! The first high symbols like the Boat and the Lighthouse during my $1 / 4 coin bets were found mostly as 3 combinatons...with or without the 2x octopus wilds! To tell you the truth I don't care much about them because my eyes were staring more onto the feature! After I hit 3 scattered Sea Captains, I got 7 Free spins at 3x. Now it is small yet with scattered Sea Captains landing just for at least 1, it will give out an extra free spin! I discovered quite a lot that won me $49.30 on my feature! These scatters could use a 1x payout plus a chance for more than an extra free spin like 3 Free spins in one scatter symbol or something that might make this feature better........a multiplier boost maybe? In these 7 Free spins at 3x it can make me win a smaller total for $21.....that would all depend on the amount of Sea Captain scatters to help make the feature last longer! Those are the ones that decide my fate in my total winnings...the more the longer the free spins stay on!

Sound effects are just like any other RTG game. Standard for those days when it first came out, outdated by today’s standards. 1 star down.

Win values are the same too. The Squid is the Wild symbol that doesn’t pay for itself, it only doubles any win. The Sea Captain is the Scatter symbol that pays 200 x for 5-of-its-kind, the highest paying symbol pays 2500 x the line bet, and every other symbol decreases in win value accordingly. Nothing more to look out for, except for the random Jackpot prize, which is a standard feature in all RTG game. 1 star down.

Just like in most oldie games, there is only the free spins feature game to aim for, triggered when 3 or more Sea Captain symbols appear anywhere on the reels. The free spins start with 7 spins, and every Sea Captain symbol that appears during the free spins game awards 1 more free spin. It’s just another way of awarding 10 – 15 free spins, because that’s the usual total amount of free spins awarded in any one game. 1 star down.

Sea Captain may lack good quality graphics, high win values and games features, but it makes up with its good game playability. The 3 Sea Captains came quite often in the main game, awarding a free spins game which starts with 7 spins but usually accumulating to about 12 to 15 spins, sometimes more. All wins with the stacked Squid Wild symbols (which appear only on reels 2 and 4) are doubled, giving reasonably good payouts of 20 x to 30 x total bet most of the time. 5-of-a-kinds were not so hard to come by too but were typically of the lower paying symbols. Still, it makes for a balanced win from the free spins game most of the time. Perhaps my luck with Sea Captain has not been so fruitful thus far, but it is a good game nevertheless, giving extended stretches of playing time, and possibly may even pay out nice big wins with the stacked Squid Wilds. Wish I had won a big nice win on Sea Captain, but I haven’t. Too bad. 1 star down.

Fortunately, that’s the situation with Sea Captain and I just like here the pleasant environment and the lovely figures. Captain, rope, harpoon, fishes, compass, fishing hooks are just some of the used icons here and there’s really not too much to say about its appearance, just it’s a solid and in my opinion a little bit better and charming than the RTG’s average. (The only thing that I think doesn’t fit the game too well is the background music during free spins which I can image much more for a tropical, Caribbean themed product).

Besides the well-known RTG Jackpots this game has other great features and based on my experience some great game qualities, too. The best paying 5 of a kind can pay 5000 coins but if just 4 Ship symbol appears mixing with a Squid emblem this main prize is 10000 times of line bet. From this example, it isn’t hard to figure out that Squid acts as a Wild and doubles all the wins that require it to be completed but what it doesn’t tell is the Wild appear in stacked format only on the 2nd and the 4th reels and doesn’t have own payout ability. Captain character is the Scatter of the game and if 5 of them appear anywhere the player can start smiling as 200 times of total bet is credited to player balance. Free spins also can thanked to this symbol if it’s activated when 7 free games are awarded and though this feature can’t be re-triggered but the final number of played extra games easily can be much more as every appearing Captain symbol adds +1 free spin and believe me it’s very rare when player must finish this session with just the originally given number of spins.

I like this feature very much because I think this is the part of the game which is very profitable and it shows better qualities what I’m used to at RTG games. My usual final result with this side game is around x20-x50 times of total bet profit but I had some nice run when I hit the x120 - x150 plateu (of course when it’s not in giving mood it could be way less than that). At this game the appearing Wild and Scatter are very frequently during free spins and because every wins are calculated as tripled wins that’s why this secondary game can be such rewarding at times. The slot doesn’t offer any Bonus type game but in my opinion with such great qualities that the mentioned two symbols have it’s not a real shortcoming because the game can be very generous without it.

My final verdict about this game is – very good. It’s way better than I originally thought when I tried it at first times. I think this is the game functionality that I want to see at every RTG’s product and overall satisfaction would be my answer to it. So this game has a simple but solid appearance with not too much but correctly working features with a good and effective rewarding system in place. Maybe the entertaining factor is what I’m missing here a little because it can’t be said it would be a very exciting game but it is what it is so we have to love this game as it is now.

The starting free spins for 3 scattered Sea Captains are just 7 Free spins at 3x. I know 1 scatter will bring out an extra free spin but at times when triggering this feature, the sea captain scatters only appear for a few like 5 times during the 7 Free spins! Don't worry however, because most of the time these scattered captain are generous!
