Independent studio Foxium is hoisting the Jolly Roger and lighting the powder kegs to celebrate the launch of its latest slot game, Boom Pirates.

Boom Pirates

Set at the peak of the pirate era, when skull-and-crossbones galleons raided the shipping lanes and settlements of the Caribbean, Boom Pirates tells the story of legendary captain Mary and her loyal crew.

Lazing in a hammock on deck and sleeping off a bottle of rum, Mary is jolted awake when her first mate spies an undefended port. With a parrot on her shoulder, to a soundtrack of sea shanties, Mary grabs her cutlass and she and her fully animated crew go treasure hunting over a swashbuckling base game and three explosive special features.

Pioneering two new trademarked technologies, Boom Pirates features Wonderways – allowing the playing grid to grow dynamically for a single spin – while Foxify amplifies the player’s bet by 50 per cent to increase the chance of triggering Boom Pirates’ signature bonus game.

Foxium CEO Ake André said: “Boom Pirates represents everything that makes Foxium games stand out from traditional casino content: from high-gloss presentation and 3D characters, to outstanding playability and innovative features.

“But this is also the first outing for our new trademarked technologies, Foxify and Wonderways, which together are transforming the player experience and putting new power in the hands of our incredible creative teams. We believe Boom Pirates will be an explosive success and we are already mapping out ways to use our new technologies in future games.”
