Games Global exclusive studio Nailed It! Games has unveiled its buccaneering new release Riptide Pirates, featuring an exciting, interactive battleship bonus round.

The high-seas adventure tasks players with matching crewmates, anchors and compasses across the game’s 25 paylines to trigger Riptide wild stacks and the Pirate bonus, leading to impressive wins worth up to 5,000x the bet.

Players can flood the reels with walking Riptide wild stacks by collecting Riptide symbols at the bottom of each reel. When enough symbols are collected, the reel will turn wild and make its way across the screen from left to right, forming winning combinations.

Any Pirate bonus symbols that land on the reels during base gameplay are automatically collected, advancing the bonus booster progress bar by awarding additional cannons.

The innovative Pirate bonus is triggered when three Pirate bonus symbols land anywhere on the reels. A battle commences on a 10×10 grid with up to four active cannons, with each one having three chances to hit an enemy ship of different sizes.

Hitting treasure chests will award a bonus modifier, sinking small boats will award a multiplier win and sinking galleons will trigger one of four lucrative local jackpots.

Riptide Pirate continues the feature-rich and mechanical ingenuity that Nailed It! Games has become synonymous with. This is evident in recent hits such as Cosmic Moon, Rome Supermatch and Rainbow Burst.

Paweł Piotrowski, co-founder of Nailed It! Games, said: “Riptide Pirates epitomises what we stand for as a provider. Its base game is filled with a variety of mechanics which work concurrently to deliver gameplay that will keep players entertained long after its initial release.

“The Pirate bonus offers truly unique gameplay that sees traditional gameplay scrapped in favour of high-stakes ship battles with game-boosting modifiers. We are truly excited to see what treasures players uncover while enjoying this headline release.”

Andy Booth, chief product officer at Games Global, added: “If there’s one thing we love at Games Global, it’s games that stand out from the crowd, and there’s no doubt that Riptide Pirates will fall into this category with its innovative bonus round. We thoroughly expect operators and players to love this innovative new title.”
