Ahoy there! It’s ‘International Talk Like a Pirate Day’ so we thought we’d give the OJO crew a little language lesson. After all, every day’s a school day!

Why not take a spin on Pirates Run? 

You must be fluent in speaking like a pirate by now! So, why not put your new skills to the test and hop aboard the Pirates Run ship? This exclusive pirate-themed game hasn’t been out too long but it’s already making a splash on the high seas. 

Don your best pirate hat and set sail on this 5-reel slot, with 5 paylines and a maximum win of £250,000. There’s no scurvy here, with all the classic fruit symbols, as well as a bottle of rum, an anchor, a wooden barrel and a treasure chest. 

Keep an eye out for the pirate wild, which substitutes for other symbols on a payline. If she’s involved in a win, she’ll expand to cover the entire reels. Plus, if you fill the entire reel with the same type of fruit, you’ll bag a multiplier up to x5. 

So, if that sounds like your kind of thing, join us for a pirate adventure! Or try one of our other pirate-themed slots, like Treasure Island, Pirates Plenty or Rage of the Seas. Have fun!
