How high can the cascade multiplier climb in Blackbeard's Bounty?

Up to x1,024. Each new winning cascade doubles the multiplier — x1, x2, x4, x8, and so on.

How many Scatters are needed to trigger the bonus game?

From 3 to 5 anywhere on the reels. Three symbols already trigger a round of 7–11 Free Spins.

What does Golden Bet do in Blackbeard's Bounty?

It slightly increases the bet in exchange for a higher chance of triggering the bonus. It only works when the Bonus Buy is not active.

What Bonus Buy options are available?

Two: 100x the bet for 7 guaranteed Free Spins, or 200x for a random 7–11. Both options are unavailable while Golden Bet is active.

How big is the difference between the maximum multiplier and the payout in euros?

The stated maximum is 20000x the bet, but in practice this corresponds to €240,000. The difference is due to the provider's maximum payout limit.

Blackbeard’s Bounty (BGaming) Play Online

Set sail with the infamous Blackbeard at BGaming — Blackbeard's Bounty leads you on a treasure hunt across a 5×3 grid that only looks simple. Forget paylines here: every winning combo sets off a cascade, symbols vanish and new ones drop in, turning one win into a storm of consecutive payouts.

243 ways to win, 5×3 grid, Very-high volatility, 96.2% RTP, Hit Rate 5.62, up to x20,000 max multiplier.

How it works

Instead of paylines, wins here run on cascades: every winning combination clears from the board, and remaining symbols drop down to fill the gaps. A Wild symbol appears after each cascade, keeping the chain of consecutive wins alive for another round.

Bonus features

💡 Progressive multiplier

Each consecutive cascade bumps the multiplier: x1 for the first, x2 for the second, x4 for the third, x8 for the fourth — climbing all the way up to x1,024. During the Bonus round, the multiplier keeps growing until the Free Spins run out.

💡 Free Spins and Scatter

The Scatter can land on any reel. 3–5 Scatters anywhere on the grid trigger the Bonus game of 7–11 Free Spins. The feature can't be retriggered once the Bonus round is active.

💡 Golden Bet

Slightly raises your stake and boosts your chances of activating the Bonus game. Disabled while Buy Bonus is active.

💡 Buy Bonus

Two options: a guaranteed 7 Free Spins for 100x your bet (with 3 Scatters), or a random 7–11 Free Spins for 200x your bet. This feature is disabled if Golden Bet is active.

Volatility

Very-high volatility paired with a 96.2% RTP makes this one for patient players — wins land less often, but the cascading progressive multiplier can push returns all the way to x20,000 of your stake (up to €240,000 listed max win). A Hit Rate of 5.62 reflects a base game that doesn't pay out constantly outside the Bonus round.

Pros

Cascading multiplier up to x1,024 makes the Bonus round genuinely explosive
Wild after every cascade extends the win chain

Cons

Very-high volatility demands a solid bankroll and patience
Golden Bet and Buy Bonus are mutually exclusive — you can't run both at once
Detailed per-symbol paytable figures aren't disclosed in the available materials
