Gunpowder Slot

Gunpowder Gameplay & Design

Ahoy there fellow shipmates! Not only are we battling against the briny seas, but we’re taking on enemy ships in an epic battle for glorious riches. Peter & Sons have done what they do best and created another title with a light-hearted theme and nifty cartoon animations.

Gunpowder is a 5-reel Video Slot, playable from £.€0.10 per spin, up to a maximum bet size of £.€50 per spin. Between the two bets are a range of alternative betting options. Simply toggle through the different bet sizes until you find one that works for you.

Gunpowder – Slot Symbols and Their Values

Gunpowder has 5 High and Low-paying symbols available throughout gameplay. The Orange Ship is the highest-paying and can create wins of up to 20x your bet for a full 5-line win.

Low-paying symbols are standard A, K, Q, J, and 10. While 10s pay 0.6x, 1x and 2.5x, Aces can produce wins of 0.9x, 3x, and 5x your bet for a 3, 4, and 5-line win sequence. As well as regular symbols, Wilds are also present and substitute for all symbols except Scatters.

Gunpowder – Paylines and How to Get Them

Wins are created when 3-5 identical symbols connect from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. Win lines are formed across 10 active pay lines, created in a Horizontal and Diagonal line sequence.

Gunpowder RTP, Volatility, & Max Win – Hot or Not?

Gunpowder has a theoretical RTP of 96.3%, a High Volatility level, and a hit frequency of 18.87%. Peter & Sons has also included lower RTP options of 94.2% and 90.5%. Be sure to check which RTP level is available at your chosen Casino before you commit.

The high volatility level means that big wins are potentially on the horizon, however, the risk of hitting smaller wins over a shorter time frame is far greater. In addition, Gunpowder has a fixed max win cap of 10,000x your bet.

Gunpowder Special Features

In this part of the review, we will be battling through the Phantom Power feature, and become acquainted with the Golden Bet and Bonus Buy options.

The Phantom Power feature is triggered randomly in both the base game and Free Spins round. Whenever a Wild symbol lands in view, it automatically triggers a Respin (base game only).

During this time, the Wild will battle against all High-paying symbols surrounding it. If the Wild symbol wins, the defeated High-paying symbol transforms into a new Wild, triggering another Respin. In Free Spins, Wilds can reveal a Multiplier value of x2 or x3.

Golden Bet

Before or after any game round, you can access the Golden Bet feature for an additional 50% of your current bet. Once active, your chances of landing Sticky Wilds increase, as does your chance of triggering Free Spins.

Bonus Buy

Players within Bonus Buy territory can access Free Spins for 170x your bet, where between 7 and 12 Free Spins are awarded at random.

Gunpowder Bonus Rounds & Free Spins

Gunpowder has one Free Spins round available, triggered when 3, 4, or 5 Scatters land during the base game, awarding 10, 12, and 15 Free Spins respectively.

During Free Spins, Wilds become sticky and remain in their positions until the round is complete. When each reel includes a Wild, an additional +5 Free Spins are awarded. If/when the entire reel set is filled with Wilds, the round will continue until all Free Spins are consumed.
