I played with £10 on Sun Bingo to celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day

AHOY there! Come and see what happened when I played the pirate-themed games on Sun Bingo. 

Each year on 19th September, landlubbers start talking like pirates. To celebrate this day, I took my usual booty of £10 and set sail for the pirate-themed helpings on the Isle of Sun Bingo.

Did I shiver me timbers at the sight of my winnings pot? Did I find treasure where X marks the spot? Aaargh you ready to keep up with Captain Katrina?

Batten down the hatches and let’s see how I got on…

Slingo Pirate’s Treasure

Avast, ‘tis time to start my pirate playing session. I first stepped aboard the good ship Slingo Pirate’s Treasure. For the handsome sum of a few doubloons (technically it was £1) I got 10 spins to try and build slingos.

I PLAYED THE JUNGLE GAMES ON SUN BINGO – HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED

Upon the deck of a ship, with music very reminiscent of a certain well-known pirate franchise, I selected my stake size from between 20p and £5. “Hoist the sails, laddy” commanded the gruff captain, signalling that it was time for me to get going.

This captain wasn’t done yet because he soon appeared on the central reel and fired cannons onto the grid. Whichever numbers the cannons landed on was instantly dabbed away.

I managed to spin in two of the three required treasure chests that unlock the bonus wheel. Had I spun in a third chest, I’d have won a multiplier guaranteed to be at least x2 but that could have been as much as x100! 

10 THINGS TO THINK ABOUT WHEN YOU’RE PICKING A BINGO ROOM TO PLAY IN

The first two slingos don’t earn a win. However, when you create between three and five, you earn a multiplier for your stake amount. If you get between six and twelve slingos, you trigger the bonus feature.

This launches a game a bit like Battleship within which you win multipliers each time you damage a ship. When I was done with this game, the captain commanded me to “walk the plank, laddy.”

Pirate Plunder

My winnings pot remained at Davy Jones’ Locker after this next stop but that doesn’t stop me from saying “aye aye” to playing it again in a future session.

MEET OUR 10/10 CHAT HOST SAVANNAH

If only for the fact that the game’s mascot is a golden piggy with a little pirate hat, stood upon a stack of coins, that I’d gladly protect with my cutlass.

Another enjoyable element was the toe-tapping accordion background music. You feel like you’re surrounded by your crew aboard a ship, ready for an evening of games. 

One element that wasn’t so enjoyable was the odd betting amounts: 88p, £1.76 or £3.52. That messed up my ability to spend my £10 budget (I spent less rather than going over my limit). 

WHAT ARE YOUR WEEKEND PLANS? ARE THEY LIKE THIS?

After a few games with 88p stakes, I didn’t manage to add to my winnings pot. 

Had I managed to spin in 12 harpoons, I’d have received five free spins. If that had been 16 harpoons, I’d have got eight free spins and all of my subsequent winnings in the free spins bonus would have had a x2 multiplier applied. 

ARE YOU DOWN WITH ALL THE BINGO LINGO?

The best symbol to see is probably the golden piggy (I knew he was a good boy) as that triggers the jackpot pick bonus within which you’re guaranteed to win one of the four jackpots on offer.   

Riptide Pirates

It was all hands on deck when I dropped the anchor in this final harbour on my pirate-themed expedition.

DID YOU KNOW THAT THESE CELEBRITIES LIKE BINGO?

As the game opened, a rather frantic sounding lady cried: “Ahoy, riptide pirates, come on board!” Perhaps she’d heard that a woman on board a pirate ship is bad luck… However, that wasn’t my experience as I finally added to my treasure chest! 

This 25-payline slot allows players to win over 5000x their stake amount and also has four jackpots: Mini (x2), Midi (x50), Major (x200) and Max (x5000).

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WAGERING REQUIREMENTS

Select your stake amount between 20p and £5 to see what you can win. If you spin in three pirate bonus symbols, you’ll launch the Riptide bonus feature where there are multipliers up to x100, instant cash prizes and game boosters on offer.  

What could you win? 

If ye looking for some arr-some games to play this Talk Like a Pirate Day, the three I tried are the tip of the iceberg. Sun Bingo has lots of mighty matey games to keep you entertained. 

10 THINGS TO LEARN ABOUT OUR CHAT HOST LEXI

As the sun passed the yardarm on my gaming session, it was time to count my treasure. I only spent £9.92 of my budget thanks to the unusual betting amounts on Pirate Plunder.

However, I still managed to win a grand total of £1.70. After a little search, I found my prize:

•  A pack of four pirate rubber ducks (wearing combinations of bandanas, pirate hats, eye patches and jackets) – £1.25

So, what to do with my remaining 45p? Well, seeing as this is a day all about pirates, I think the only reasonable thing to do is to bury it, draw up a treasure map and come back for it another day.
