Belatra Games, renowned for its online slot developments, has launched its newest title, the pirate-themed “Tortuga Codex.” This 5×4 slot invites players on a thrilling quest for hidden treasures buried on a mysterious island.
In “Tortuga Codex,” the Skull symbol serves as the Wild, substituting for any other symbol to boost win potential. A unique feature of this game is the Additional Reel positioned above the main reels, showcasing Wilds, special pirate icons, and numbers from one to nine. When three or more bomb Scatters appear, these numbers activate as multipliers in the bonus game, with higher multipliers for more Scatters, increasing potential winnings.
During the main game, Wild symbols scatter randomly onto the reels if they land over a Scatter symbol. In the Bonus Game, the Wild symbol changes to the number 9, while special pirate symbols—Pirate Bob, Pirate Patrick, and Pirate Girl—replace minor symbols when under a Scatter, turning into numbers 8, 7, and 6, respectively.
The Treasure Chest symbol offers a random prize between 5 and 1000 bets when positioned over a Scatter and transforms to the number 5 during the Bonus. Coins award 10 bets when a Scatter is underneath and turn into the number 4 for the Bonus round. All numbers on the Additional Reel become active in the Bonus Game once three or more Scatters land. Four Scatters increase each number by one, and five Scatters increase each by three, with nine as the maximum.
The Bonus Game is triggered with three or more bomb Scatters, opening the first and second cells on the Additional Reel. Players then choose a chest containing either a Plus, Multiplier, or a noose, ending the round. Progressing through levels, multipliers can soar, with the highest reaching 59,049x.
Sergey Chernyavski, Belatra Games’ CCO, commented:
“Tortuga Codex takes players deep into the perilous seas filled with hidden mysteries, legendary treasures, and ancient artifacts waiting to be uncovered on the reels. The Bonus feature gives players the perfect opportunity to chart a course to winnings.”
