How To Play Skulls Up Mobile Slot
Welcome to Captain No Beard’s Crew where you’ll be looking to chops heads and set sail in this Skulls Up mobile slot from Quickspin.
Let us introduce you to your new ocean family. You’ve got the Red-Headed Lady Captain, who looks friendly enough that she might just give you matching scars on your face. You’ve got Biggy, her stoic towering second in command who won’t take a joke.
But don’t worry, rather than your bunk with smelly the Pirate with a thousand flies as pets, you’ll be snuggling up next to the adorable Wrench the Monkey and Biscuit the Parrot, making this an eclectic crew of fun and scary Pirates.
Which is a good way to describe this Skulls Up mobile slot: a fun and scary addition to the Quickspin slots list.
Time to chop some heads and find some skulls
This is one of the Pirate themed slot machines, which is well crafted and animated. We have no problem with it.
Where it might lose some gamblers is in the mechanics. You won’t get particularly big wins in the 5×3 reel 243 ways to win slot machine, because the paytable amounts are only so-so.
That’s because what you want is open up the reels by getting flaming skulls in this Skulls Up video slot. Each flaming skull that lands on the reel will expand the middle 3 reels by one. The maximum it can expand is by an extra 3 symbols high on those middle reels.
Once expanded you get a free re-spin of the reels, and you also get non-flaming wilds to add some extra wins.
Can you get the 1944 ways to win Skulls Up slot game?
Probably not, but even just opening up 324 ways to win could be worth your wild. You certainly won’t open much more than one or two cases in the base game – but from time to time you get 20x your bet.
The way to win in this Skulls Up slot is by hitting the free spins bonus round. And you know what? These Pirates give you the free spins at least once in 100 spins, which is enough not to feel cheated.
Especially as, whilst you may only get 6 free spins, those flaming wild re-spins are in full effect. Not just that, but the reels stay expanded for the duration of the bonus game, meaning you may get to that 1944 ways to win slot.
If you expand a whole reel by 3 symbols you even get an extra +2 free spins, meaning you could play a total of 12 free spins. If you want even more ways to win and expanded reels, you should also check out the Pillars of Asgard slot review.
