Set sail on a pirate adventure in Blackbeard’s Lucky Bucks Hold & Win

Players set sail, spin the reels and plunder epic jackpots in Blackbeard’s Lucky Bucks Hold & Win from in-demand provider, Rival. This is a swashbuckling slot where players get to unleash the cannons and light up the reels as they command the high seas and discover the treasures within.
But no pirate voyage is complete without unexpected twists and turns along the way, and that’s exactly what happens in Blackbeard’s Lucky Bucks, with a trove of bonus features ensuring plenty of action spin after spin.
This includes Blackbeard Wild symbols, which help players chart their course to treasure by substituting for all other symbols except the Hold & Win Scatters.
And players will absolutely want to discover those Hold & Win Scatters as they are the key to unlocking the Lucky Bucks Hold & Win feature. Land Prize and Collect symbols to activate the bonus, then lock in prizes and chase down four epic Jackpots.
Pirates Gold In-Game Jackpots see players walk the plank towards one of four jackpots, including Mini, Minor, Major and the Grand Jackpot, which is worth 5,000x the bet. Yarrrr, indeed.
For those struggling to find their sea legs, there’s the option to Buy the Bonus and fire up the Hold & Win feature on demand.
Blackbeard’s Lucky Bucks Hold & Win is set across three reels and three rows with five paylines active in the base game. The volatility is set to extreme with a range of RTPs available, including 92.41%, 94.43% and 96.13%. Bets can be placed from $0.25 to $15 per spin.
Ryan Maclean, Head of Games at Rival, said: “Pirate-themed slots are hugely popular with players in markets across the world and in Blackbeard’s Lucky Bucks Hold & Win, we have a game that immerses players in swashbuckling spins from the first game round to the last.
“The inclusion of the Hold & Win mechanic builds tremendous anticipation as players hunt down the jackpots and that impressive 5,000x Grand Prize. Thrown in the Blackbeard Wilds, and you have gameplay that’s as thrilling as sailing the seven seas.
Blackbeard’s Lucky Bucks is a great addition to our growing portfolio of slots, and we can’t wait to see players jump onboard and embark on their own pirate adventure.”

1spin4win unveils Beersburg Fest Hold and Win slot inspired by Oktoberfest

Beersburg Fest Hold and Win recreates the joyful energy of Europe’s most iconic beer festival with bright symbols, playful animations, and upbeat music. From smiling waitresses with frothy mugs to sizzling bratwurst and vibrant Bavarian decoration, every detail adds to the immersion.
