Random Progressive Jackpot
Sure, being a good pirate takes guts, good swordsmanship and unusual facial hair. But it also takes luck. In honor of this, Goldbeard has a Random Progressive Jackpot. As the name implies, the jackpot is triggered randomly so you could hit it at any time, with any reel combination. And, also like the name implies, the jackpot gets higher and higher the longer you play.
The story behind the game
For hundreds of years, pirates terrorized merchant ships throughout the seven seas. They searched for gold, silver, jewels and other booty. And when they found it, they buried it on deserted islands far away from civilization, to keep it safe from those they stole from, and from other pirates.
The most famous and ruthless pirates made the blue water of the Caribbean home. For it was there they could spend their loot on rum, parrots and carousing. Now you can explore this world and take on Goldbeard as you attempt to beat him at his own game and plunder his treasure.
