natural trigger · 69 in 10,000 spinsA full third reel of Charms adds two spins to the natural ten-spin bonus at EUR 1, which ends on a EUR 101 result. Recorded in a separate browser session, outside the statistical samples.
Across the whole run the 69 natural bonuses split into 22 under 20x, 24 between 20x and 50x, 12 between 50x and 100x and 11 at 100x or more, and together they made up 33% of everything the game returned. The wait between two triggers ran from 2 to 738 spins. Payout figures here are FS-only, in ordinary stakes; the trigger payout is excluded.
A full column of three Mystery Charms earns two additional free spins once per reel. The 30 extended bonuses contained 34 such awards, adding 68 spins; all 69 bonuses originally started with ten.

How it plays
16 rules screens from the game
Mystery Charms keep their positions but change their faces: each reveal turns every Charm into the same paying symbol, never a Bonus ship. In ordinary play, a Charm on each of reels one, two and three starts Mystery Charm Respins. Those positions stay fixed while the remaining cells spin, and another Charm extends the sequence by one respin. Each completed screen pays its winning combinations.
Stormy Free Spins opens with ten spins when three Bonus ships land together. Every Charm that arrives stays for the rest of the feature, with a fresh symbol reveal on each spin. Filling all three positions of a reel adds two spins, once for that reel; a new full column can earn another extension.
Pirates Charm arranges five reels in three rows, with 243 winning ways for matches starting from the left. A combination needs at least three consecutive reels; repeated symbols within a reel can each join a different paying way. Five Captains pay 5x the total stake on one way, while five Tens pay 0.75x; no Wild substitutes for a missing match. A randomly selected Mystery Spin uses reels with extra Charms.
Version 1.0.8 uses the 96.49% RTP setting; its minimum total stake is EUR 0.20 and its maximum EUR 100. Stormy Free Spins has no purchase button. Quickspin rates the game's volatility at 4.75 on its five-point scale, and its published 3,861x figure is a maximum observed in ten billion spins, not a stated payout ceiling.

Verdict
A new face on held positionsSkulls opened round 1810 with a EUR 1 payout before three respins lifted it to EUR 157, the largest round without free spins. Its second respin revealed Captains on nine Charm positions and paid EUR 120 across 24 five-reel ways. No new Charm landed on the final respin, but the held positions changed to skulls and still paid another EUR 24 before the sequence ended.
The full test returned EUR 10,065.75 from EUR 10,000 wagered at EUR 1 per round, or 100.66%, against the 96.49% setting. Its approximate 95% confidence interval, 87.21% to 114.11%, describes uncertainty in the measured mean rather than the range of another session. Initial base screens paid EUR 4,239.25, subsequent base respins EUR 2,461.75 and free spins EUR 3,364.75.
Nine held Charms in round 8710 never completed a reel, so that bonus stopped after its initial ten spins. The last one nevertheless formed 48 five-reel ways of skulls worth EUR 96, bringing the feature to EUR 144. Across all 69 bonuses, completing a Charm column extended 30 of them; only three reached fourteen spins or longer.
- Thirty of the 69 natural bonuses gained extensions, adding 68 spins to their starting allowances.
- The 76 free spins showing eight or nine Charms paid EUR 1,457.25 between them.
- Winning ways containing at least one Charm supplied EUR 3,340.75 of the EUR 3,364.75 paid by free spins.
- 159 of the 335 Mystery Spins failed to start a respin despite using the reels with extra Charms.
- Every natural bonus ended with between four and nine held Charms; none filled the fifteen-position field.
- Small wins still left 712 rounds below the EUR 1 stake, alongside 8,082 rounds that paid nothing.

FAQ
4 questions · answered from the logDoes a sticky Charm keep the pirate it first revealed?
No. Its position stays while the next reveal selects the paying symbol again, which may repeat. In round 1200, free spin five turned eight held Charms into Captains and paid EUR 30; spin six turned the same eight into Tens and paid EUR 4.50, with six five-reel winning ways on both screens.
How many Charms are needed to extend Stormy Free Spins?
Three must fill the same reel to add two spins, and each reel can grant that extension once. Round 7645 completed three columns and played sixteen spins instead of ten; it was the only bonus in this test to earn six extra spins.
Did Mystery Charm Respins appear more often than free spins?
Yes. The 10,000 ordinary rounds produced 178 respin features and 69 Stormy Free Spins bonuses. Of those respin features, 176 began on a Mystery Spin with its enhanced Charm reels, leaving just two on ordinary reels.
Is 3,861x a guaranteed payout ceiling for Pirates Charm?
No. Quickspin describes 3,861x as the largest payout observed in ten billion spins, without identifying it as an enforced limit. The largest round in this 10,000-round test was 219x, all from twelve free spins in round 1200.
