Play’n GO plunder pirate ships in Captain Glum: Pirate Hunter
Play’n GO set sail as they search for sea-bound treasures in their brand-new pirate slot, Captain Glum: Pirate Hunter.
Captain Glum: Pirate Hunter is an action-packed slot where players can engage in ship-plundering combat coupled alongside dynamic symbols and splash-worthy animations.
The story follows Captain Glum and his merry men as they sail their armada across the treacherous waters of Skull Island to battle the infamous Pirate Queen’s Army.
Players must match three ship or wooden-shaped symbols to secure a victory. On each spin, the Ship Wilds move to a random position on the reels, aiding Captain Glum snag his prize-winning combos. If a player lands on the Golden Flagship Pirate Ship Wild, it becomes a permanent Wild on the reels, completing paylines and securing the player’s valuable booty.
One in every 20 spins opens the possibility for the Captain’s Due feature – so long as the player secures two Scatters. With Connecting Wilds floating throughout Captain’s Due, players anchor their hook into a sea of potential wins.
Landing three Skull Scatters triggers the Free Spins round. With 10 Free Spins equipped from the outset, this mode launches players into a frantic Pirate vs Pirate Hunters showdown. Players can use the Multiplying Mortar to sink enemy ships to up the score with each foe thwarted.
If players finish with a higher score than their adversary, they’re awarded a x10 Multiplying Chest Feature. This tasks the pirate with choosing between three chests that can net a x1, x2 or x10 Multiplying win.
Fans of Play’n GO’s other sea-set adventures may also enjoy last year’s fishing frenzy Boat Bonanza, the exploration epic, Sea Hunter (2017), Sails of Gold (2016) as well as the battleship-style Cash of Command (2022) and the prized pirate sequel Jolly Roger 2 (2020).
Head of Game Retention at Play’n GO, George Olekszy said: “We’ve had fun creating sea-based and fishing slots, so now it’s time for a new pirate adventure.”
“Captain Glum: Pirate Hunter has so many cool features. The Connecting and Permanent Wilds simulate the wide array of tools you’d find on Captain Glum’s ship. The Pirates vs Pirates combat mode takes things to the next level too – heightening the player’s experience.”

BETBY ACHIEVES GLI CERTIFICATION FOR PERU, EXPANDING ITS FOOTPRINT IN LATIN AMERICA’S REGULATED MARKETS
BETBY, a top-tier sports betting supplier, has received certification from Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) to provide its sportsbook solution in Peru’s regulated market. This certification marks another significant milestone in BETBY’s continued expansion across Latin America.
With the Peruvian government formalizing its regulated sports betting framework, GLI certification has emerged as a crucial requirement for providers aiming to serve licensed operators in the country. BETBY is now authorized to deliver its innovative and tailored sportsbook solutions in Peru’s rapidly expanding regulated betting market.
GLI’s certification, recognized as a benchmark for excellence, validates BETBY’s ability to meet Peru’s strict technical requirements, including those related to sportsbook functionality, information security management systems, and information security standards. Peru’s regulatory framework is primarily based on GLI-33 certification, which BETBY successfully achieved in early 2025. As a result, the company was well-positioned to swiftly meet the country’s compliance standards.
“Peru represents a key step in our broader Latin American growth strategy, as the region continues to adopt clearer regulatory frameworks for online sports betting,” said Ilze Ramolina, Head of Legal & Compliance at BETBY. “Securing GLI certification for this market, which has a growing digital infrastructure and tech-savvy audience, allows us to support licensed operators in launching compliant and competitive offerings from day one. This is yet another step forward in our mission to deliver tailored, localized solutions that meet both local requirements and regional expectations across the region.”
This achievement follows BETBY’s previous certification for the Brazilian market, solidifying its presence in two of Latin America’s most promising jurisdictions. The supplier’s flexible and highly localised sportsbook platform, combined with its commitment to compliance, positions it as a trusted partner for operators looking to thrive in newly regulated environments.
By entering the Peruvian market, BETBY continues to demonstrate its strategic focus on Latin America, providing hyper-localized, engaging, and secure sports betting experiences for both operators and players.
