Calico Jack doesn’t necessarily sound like a pirate, but that is clearly what he is when you see the image for this slot game. Coming from the brains behind other great games from Spinmatic, Calico Jack boasts everything a pirate should have – an impressive beard, a pirate hat, a gold earring, and a couple of female pirates to back him up. Pirates aren’t known for being friendly, so will Calico Jack help you win prizes or scupper your attempts to capture the booty?
The game gives you a look at five reels superimposed over a sea-faring background. It looks as if you are on a pirate ship, and another ship is sailing in the background. Calico Jack himself does come to your aid as a wild icon, thereby helping you increase the odds of winning something whenever he appears.
This game may only have nine paylines, but that does mean it is more accessible to those with smaller gaming budgets. It is early days for this game, but it has picked up some fans already. It benefits from some impressive graphics and design elements, but Calico Jack is also not too complex. Some might miss having a selection of bonuses to look for, but there are some free spins to be won here. Maybe this pirate-themed game is one you will come to like a lot.
