BOOM PIRATES FIGHT FOR GOLD Slot Review
From inside a dark sea cave, green-eyed bats overhead and a white-sand shore glittering beyond the reels, BOOM PIRATES FIGHT FOR GOLD barely pretends its paytable matters. The line wins top out at 10x the bet, a figure most games would bury in the fine print, because the real money is in the coins and the three skull-faced chests above the reels. Foxium has built this one entirely around collection.
It’s a coin-collection build with a jackpot ladder at the top, the same Fight for Gold format the studio ran in Rome Fight for Gold: The Tiger’s Rage and Vikings Fight for Honour. The maths runs at 96.37% RTP, on a 5×4 grid with 40 fixed paylines, medium volatility, and stakes from 0.20 to 12.50. The ceiling is the Grand Jackpot at 20,000x the bet.
Base Game & Features
Wins pay left to right on adjacent reels across the 40 fixed lines, with only the highest combination on each line counting. The payline cost is 10, so each spin’s total bet is divided across the lines at 10 per line when working out what a payline win returns. Wilds substitute for every symbol except Pirate Coins and the Boom Collect symbol, and they’re the only help the standard wins get. There’s no wild multiplier and no wild-specific feature, so their job is a simple one.
The paytable is modest by design, because the coins do the heavy lifting. Values are multiples of the bet:
- Pirate Woman – 1x, 3x, 10x for three, four, five
- Bomb Man – 0.5x, 2x, 5x
- Parrot – 0.4x, 1.5x, 4x
- Barrel/Coin Cup – 0.3x, 1x, 3x
- A, K, Q – 0.2x, 0.5x, 2x
- J, 10 – 0.2x, 0.4x, 1.5x
At the top of the ladder, five Pirate Woman symbols return 10x the bet, which sets the tone: line wins are pocket money next to what the coins and chests can pay. Multiple winning combinations on a single line don’t stack, either – only the best one counts, and the rest are discarded.
Pirate Coins
Pirate Coins land on reels 1 to 4, and each carries a cash value tied to its metal:
- Bronze Coins – 1x to 5x bet
- Silver Coins – 6x to 15x bet
- Gold Coins – 20x to 50x bet
Coins landing on the first four reels sit there as instant-value symbols rather than line payers. Each one feeds the Treasure Chest of the same colour above the reels, and every collection carries a chance of triggering that chest’s bonus game. The collection animation is purely visual and doesn’t influence anything.
Boom Collect
When a Boom Collect symbol lands on reel 5, the total value of every Pirate Coin on the reels is paid out at once, and the collect symbol works its own multiplier into that sum:
- Collect multiplier – 1x to 5x, applied to the combined coin total
- The award is added to any base game wins from the same spin
It can trigger in the base game at any point, and it’s the fastest route to a decent coin payday without a bonus round. A single collect on a well-covered screen of Gold Coins can outrun everything the paytable’s best line manages on its own.
Boost
Boost is a toggle rather than a feature you trigger. Activating it increases the total bet by 50%, so a 0.20 stake becomes 0.30. In exchange, the base game carries more Pirate Coins, with Silver and Gold coins appearing more frequently, and the chances of triggering each Pirate Treasure Game go up. It doesn’t change what anything pays, and it doesn’t touch the jackpot awards.
BOOM PIRATES FIGHT FOR GOLD Bonus Features
The Treasure Chests aren’t decoration. Each coin colour feeds its own bonus game, and triggering it means three bonus spins with a reset value of three: any spin that lands a bonus symbol resets the counter back to three, and the round only ends once three consecutive spins come up empty.
There are three versions of the round, played with the coin type that matches the chest that fired: Bronze Treasure with Bronze Coins, Silver Treasure with Silver Coins, and Gold Treasure with Gold Coins. Gold Treasure is the one worth chasing, since its coins carry the top values.
Bonus Game Symbols
Four symbols matter inside the round:
- Pirate Coins – their cash values collect towards the total
- Mary Multiplier – adds its 1x to 5x value to the round multiplier, then is removed on the next spin
- Dave Hawk-Eye Extra Spin – adds 1 to the reset value, then is removed on the next spin
- Mystery Skull – reveals Mary, Dave Hawk-Eye, or Pirate Coin
The round starts with a 1x multiplier and every Mary that lands stacks on top of it, so a long round with a few Marys can climb quickly. The final multiplier applies to the total Pirate Coin value collected. Low symbols still appear during the bonus but don’t pay; they’re scenery.
Jackpots: Mini, Major and Grand
The jackpot ladder runs on coin count in any bonus game, and it steps up hard at the top:
- 10 Pirate Coins – Mini Jackpot, 10x bet
- 15 Pirate Coins – Major Jackpot, 50x bet
- 20 Pirate Coins – Grand Jackpot, 20,000x bet
Only the highest jackpot reached in a round is awarded, and the award is added to the total bonus win. Two conditions apply: the bonus multiplier doesn’t apply to jackpot awards, and Boost doesn’t affect them either. Twenty coins inside a resetting three-spin round is a genuine climb, which is exactly why the Grand pays 20,000x.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.2/10
Playing this is mostly watching coins pile up in three chests, and honestly, that’s the whole appeal: every spin adds something to a picture you can see filling. If that loop doesn’t grab you, nothing on the reels will, because the line wins were never the point.
The strength is the bonus round’s staying power. A reset counter that rewards every lucky spin with more room, and a multiplier that only climbs, mean one good round can run long and pay twice what you’d expect. The weakness is the ceiling on everything else: a 12.50 max stake and a paytable that reads like an afterthought, which leaves the base game thin and the higher-stakes crowd with nowhere to go.
This is one for players who enjoy a slow, visible build towards a named prize, chest by chest. Those after big standalone hits or room to raise the stakes won’t find it here. For the patient ones, there’s real treasure at the back of the cave.
