Captain Tipsys Treasure: Dig Up a Pirate Island for up to 250x Payouts

Genii’s Captain Tipsy’s Treasure takes us ashore on an island where treasure chests contain 250x payouts. You’ve got expanding barrels of beer and bottles of pirate rum to collect for free spins with multipliers. Ready to get on with this treasure hunt? Let me guide you through what it was like for me below. 

The game starts with a clear view of a tropical island beach with a ship anchored on one end and jagged cliffs on the other. A five-reel and three-row grid sits in the middle with 25 win lines and a treasure chest full of glistening silver. Genii nails the theme here, it really did feel like a treasure hunt the first time I booted this slot up. 

Coming to the gameplay, wilds drop on the first and third reels a lot. I noticed them appear every two to three spins, which helped me land between 0.72x to 1.32x wins pretty easily. Winning combinations on multiple lines are paid out, which helped me clock in wins between 6.52x to 13.80x payouts at times, but these combos were pretty rare. 

The setup also allows for scatters, which are not as abundant as other newer Genii slots, but I managed to slog through and trigger the free spins bonus after around 60 spins. With three scatter symbols, you get eight free spins, which isn’t half bad because all wins get a 2x multiplier during the feature. 

That said, you really need those higher symbols to act during the round, without them I struggled to get past 15x returns. You can also win free spins with expanding wilds, but they only activate on the second and fourth reels. This felt way too nerfed to really get you any significant payouts. 

You’ve also got jackpots and you need three or more silver coin symbols to trigger one of them. It’s a pretty simple concept, get three and win a 10x prize, with four you get a 50x win, and all five get you the highest jackpot worth 250x your bet. Because it does not need multiple conditions to trigger, the lower jackpot values might be a decent tradeoff for some. 

For what it’s worth, I did enjoy Captain Tipsy’s Treasure more than the average Genii slot, but it sure won’t be competing with the best software providers out there. The game feels too hamstrung, the graphics feel too last-gen, and the payout potential is just way too low for me to recommend giving it a spin.
