There are two buttons with coin icons.

The game’s RTP is 96.24 per cent, which is just above the average. It’s a workmanlike creation that is fairly entertaining, although it probably won’t hold your attention for very long. The animation is fairly unremarkable, and the music has very much a boys’ own pirate sound to it. The symbols are disappointingly boring - lots of cannons and no human figures. The grid is simple, with the reels dark blue in keeping with the look of the game. Above us, we can just see the edge of the free spins wheel decorated with a skull and crossbones. Instead we appear to be in a secret cave, lit by flaming torches but otherwise deserted. The background doesn’t feature much that we recognise from pirate mythology - no desert island, no ship, no treasure chest. Gold Coin have chosen to go for a fairly minimal look. The scatter is a coin engraved with a skull and crossbones. There are 8 regular symbols: a gold cannon, a silver cannon, a bronze cannon and a group of all three, two crossed swords, a bottle of rum, a spade and a diamond. The minimum bet size is 0.20 and the maximum is 120.

Silver Seas has 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 paylines. It’s very familiar gaming territory, so we’ll see what Gold Coin have added to the genre, if anything. This pirate-themed game follows closely in the footsteps of others like NetEnt’s Rage of the Seas. In the relatively short time since they started operating, Gold Coin Studios demo slots have started to make a considerable impact, and their contribution to the range of available free slot games is growing all the time.

It was launched in 2018 and is run by a former Vice President of IGT. Gold Coin Studios is based in Reno, Nevada.
