Arg! Caribbean Anne Online Slot sets sail from Kalamba

Tweet

Take to the high seas with the Dread Pirate Oakley in Kalamba’s new Caribbean Anne Slot.

Okay all you history buffs, I have a question for you. Did you ever wonder, “What if Annie Oakley were a pirate?” She was one heck of a sharpshooter, and gained national fame as such while traveling with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show in the late 1800s, but she was no criminal. I have to assume, based on the title and imagery of their online slots creation, the developers at Kalamba Games pondered this very question.

Kalamba Games is a small, independent digital games studio based out of Malta and Krakow. Founded in late 2016, the company has a low-key portfolio of just over two dozen slot machine titles. With a focus on player engagement and retention, they’ve produced some interesting games over the years, but none caught my eye as quickly as this one.

It’s called Caribbean Anne, and features a long, brown-haired female pirate as the lead character, expertly wielding a pair of ornate revolvers. Shes no merchant ship’s captain, as clearly defined by the jolly roger on her hat, and her crew of scalawags do not appear ill-equipped to take on an enemy ship, should their treasure-hunting adventures be so rudely interrupted.

The resemblance is uncanny, is it not? Aye, to me it be obvious this ship is captained by none other than the Dread Pirate Oakley!

New Caribbean Ann Slot from Kalamba Games

Caribbean Ann is a 5×4 video slot with 40 bet lines, a high volatility, and to Kalamba’s valuable credit, an above average RTP of 97.83%. That alone is reason to draw educated online slots fans to the table. Throw in a treasure trove of features, and this game has enormous potential.

The highest paying symbols are the Wild wheel and Anne’s trusted 4-man crew, featuring her hook-handed first mate, dagger wielding defenseman, compass toting navigator, and cleaver bearing chef. Playing card values of A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 make up the lower paying symbols. Now on to the good stuff – features.

Caribbean Ann Features

Kalamba Games productions are known for their Hyper Bonus, Hyper Bet and Bonus Jackpot features. You’ll find them all in the Caribbean Anne Online Slot, along with Free Spins, Locking Multiplier Wilds and a 4-tier progressive jackpot.

HyperBet: The HyperBet feature is as in-game elective. Players can increase their bet size, thereby increasing the HyperBet multiplier to as high as 5x, and the number of free spins to 14. Increasing the HyperBet Level from 1 to 2, 3, or 4 progressively increases the game’s volatility and RTP.

HyperBonus: This feature allows players to pay a large wager in exchange for triggering the free spins bonus. It’s not cheap, but if the stars align beyond the navigator’s sextant, it could result in a huge win.

Free Spins: Aside from paying to activate the HyperBonus, free games are triggered by landing 3 or more pirate ship bonus scatters. During free games, all wins pay at 2x. Special cannon ball symbols can appear, awarding +1 free spin for each. Collection Wilds and Locking Multiplier Wilds are active throughout the feature.

Collection/Accumulation Wilds: Caribbean Anne is a special wild symbol known as an Accumulation Wild. Whenever she appears, the frame around the position locks. This reel position continues to spin like all others until the 10th spin, when Locking Multiplier Wilds trigger.

Locking Multiplier Wilds: The value of these wilds depends on the player’s bet size (HyperBet Level), scaling up to 5x. When Accumulation Wilds appear, their frame locks in place. After every 10 spins in the base game, all locked frames transform into Multiplier Wilds.

Bonus Jackpot: There are four jackpots; the Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. During free spins, Jackpot symbols can appear. The number of Jackpot symbols that land in a single spin will determine the jackpot paid, if any. It takes 7-8 jackpot symbols to unleash the bronze jackpot, 9-13 for the silver, 14 for the gold, and 15+ for the platinum.
