4 Pirate Chests Slot Review

4 Pirate Chests Slot Overview

I came to 4 Pirate Chests as a fan of 4ThePlayer's maths, and this one sticks to their usual formula. You get a 5x4 layout with 1,024 ways to win, betting from 0.10 to 80 per spin. The default RTP is 96.01%, though some casinos run lower settings, and volatility is firmly high. With a hit rate around 31%, the big attraction is the 10,240x max win.

In practice, 4 Pirate Chests is all about the four Pirate Treasure Chests sitting above reels two to five. Skull Coins collected into those chests can trigger BoomPots Mystery Pirate Pays or Pirate Plunder Free Spins, and there is a Feature Buy for impatient players. On paper it looks straightforward, but the way chest positions affect your payouts gives the game more depth than many pirate slots.

4 Pirate Chests Slot Information

The action plays out on a cursed tropical island, with a mix of swashbuckling pirates and undead versions of the main crew. The backdrop has rolling waves and creaking wood, while the soundtrack keeps the tension up when the coins land. I like the way the chests above the reels are always in view, so you are constantly reminded of where the next trigger might appear.

4 Pirate Chests runs smoothly on desktop, mobile, and tablet, and it uses ways pays rather than fixed lines. Wins land from three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. That, combined with the stacked premiums and mystery symbols, makes the grid feel busy even when the features are quiet. It is the sort of setup that suits both short sessions and longer grinding.

4 Pirate Chests Symbols and Paytable

The low-paying symbols in 4 Pirate Chests are the standard 10 to A card ranks, paying roughly 1x to 1.2x your bet for five of a kind. Above them sit binoculars, compass, swords, and then three character symbols, including the captain. Five premiums pay between 1.5x and 10x, and the top pirate can pay from just two of a kind, which softens the blow of those long dead stretches.

Character symbols appear in normal and zombie form, but their payouts do not change between states. Wild symbols have no value of their own and simply substitute to finish ways, while Skull Coins can hide behind any other symbol on reels two to five. I like that the paytable keeps things clean, because the real punch here comes from how mystery symbols stack up during the BoomPots feature.

4 Pirate Chests: Slot Features

The feature list in 4 Pirate Chests looks short, but everything revolves around those Pirate Treasure Chests. At random, a symbol position on reels two to five can hold a Skull Coin. When that coin hits, it flies up into the chest above the reel, and there is a chance that the chest bursts open. What you get from it depends entirely on which reel triggered the collection.

If the Skull Coin is collected on reels three, four, or five, you can get BoomPots Mystery Pirate Pays. The game then lays mystery symbols from reel one up to the triggering reel, with at least one win guaranteed. All those mystery positions turn into the same regular symbol, which can mix with any matching icons already on the grid. The further right the activation, the more reels get covered.

A Skull Coin on reel two can instead hand you Pirate Plunder Free Spins, starting with eight spins. During the bonus, more Skull Coins appear and the chests above the reels wake up far more often than in the base game. Hitting reel two again adds four extra spins. If patience runs thin, you can buy eight Free Spins for 60x bet, or a reel five BoomPots trigger for 100x.

Wild Symbols in 4 Pirate Chests

Wild symbols in 4 Pirate Chests do what seasoned players expect. They land on reels two to five only and step in for all regular symbols except Skull Coins. There is no separate wild payout, but on a 1,024 ways setup, they often turn near misses into solid hits, especially when combined with mystery symbols. I found them particularly handy during Free Spins, where stacked premiums can really line up.

Pirate Treasure Chests in 4 Pirate Chests

For me, the Pirate Treasure Chests are what give 4 Pirate Chests its personality. Four chests sit above reels two to five, and each Skull Coin that lands is collected into the chest overhead. You never see fixed values in those chests; instead, you are waiting for them to trigger either Mystery Pirate Pays or the Free Spins bonus, depending on which reel handled the collection.

The sweet spot is the rightmost chest. When BoomPots fires from reel three you know at least three reels will be filled with the same symbol, and from reel five you can land full-screen style hits. That is why the 100x buy that guarantees a reel five Mystery Pirate Treasure feels so tempting. It is swingy, but it lines up perfectly with the high-volatility profile and 10,240x potential.

4 Pirate Chests: Slot Verdict

4 Pirate Chests is not the most original pirate slot I have played, but the mix of cursed crew, moody island setting, and the chest mechanic comes together nicely. The visuals are sharp, the soundtrack carries a bit of drama, and the constant coin teasing above the reels keeps you engaged. When Mystery Pirate Pays stretch across to reel five, the screen really lights up in a satisfying way.

From a gambling point of view, this is a game where most of the serious money sits in Free Spins and the better BoomPots triggers. The base game can feel streaky, with long spells of small wins broken by those guaranteed mystery hits. I appreciate that 4ThePlayer stayed around the 96% RTP mark here, and I would recommend 4 Pirate Chests to players who enjoy volatile, chest-driven gameplay.
