How the Game Plays

Cursed Seas presents a dark, atmospheric take on the pirate genre, moving away from cheerful tropical aesthetics in favor of a ghostly, storm-lashed ocean setting. Played on a 5x4 grid, the game features symbols such as anchors, pistols, and weathered pirate characters. Winning combinations are formed across 26 fixed paylines, starting from the leftmost reel. The standout base game mechanic is the Cursed Chest; when these land, they create a "Cursed Area" that extends to the top of the reel, applying a multiplier of up to 200x to any wins passing through that zone.

Free Spins Explained

There are two distinct bonus rounds. The Sunken Treasure feature is triggered by landing three Lantern scatters, awarding 10 free spins. During this round, Cursed Chests appear more frequently, and any Cursed Area created remains persistent for the duration of the feature, with multipliers accumulating as more chests land.

Dead Men Tell No Tales Explained

Triggered by four Lantern scatters, this is a Hold & Win style bonus game starting with three lives that reset when special symbols land. Instead of standard symbols, players look for Cursed Skulls and Tormented Skulls that add or multiply values to the meters above each reel. The Kraken symbol can also appear, increasing multipliers across multiple reels simultaneously, while the Cursed Areas created by skulls help build the total win multiplier toward the game's high payout potential.
