The game requires 6 or more matching symbols to be formed in a cluster to award a win. The base game is also home to the booty wild symbols this substitutes all paying symbols, the wild has a multiplier attached with the multiplier increasing by one each time it is included in a win.
Features

Genius Gambling Review
Booty Bay's wild mechanic reminded us heavily off the original Jammin Jars bonus given that wild multipliers rarely move where you actually want them too. The game when it decides to can provide the player with huge hits, multiple wilds and trigger different features all of the one spin. However what we found during our time with the slot was that Booty Bay's mechanics sometimes felt they were actively working against us. Once a wild leaves the hotzone you will no longer get a respin with the hotzone being a 3x3 grid it only takes two respins for the wild to move from the centre and therefore the best position in the game to outside of the hotzone and at least in our experience this happened a lot. Just as the multipliers of the wild grew to a point of awarding a huge hit, frustrating but also to be expected. If you can look past this feature and see the game as a chance of landing a huge 20,000x and not focus so much on the smaller 10x - 100x wins you will really enjoy Booty Bay. Its high volatility will either award you a huge win or frustratingly tease you with a chance only to award a much smaller hit than expected. Because of these reason we give Booty Bay our Genius Gambling Rating of 6 out of 10! Below we have provided a video documenting some of our time with the game and also featured below are our top 6 Genius approved casinos where you can deposit today and be awarded with a 100% match deposit bonus or some free spins, terms and conditions apply and as always please gamble responsibly.
