Barbarossa DoubleMax

Quick Overview

Game Theme and Layout

Barbarossa DoubleMax takes its theme from the world of pirates and the historical corsair Hayreddin Barbarossa. The base game is set in a tropical location with palm trees, sand and a damaged cannon surrounding the reels.

During Free Spins, the background changes to a darker cavern filled with treasure, where a skeletal pirate sits among piles of riches. The visual transition makes the bonus immediately distinguishable from the standard game.

Symbols and Regular Wins

The paytable combines pirate objects with character symbols. Lower-value symbols include a bottle, anchor, ship wheel, compass and pistols, while the five character symbols form the higher-paying group.

Five matching lower-value symbols pay between 2.5x and 3x the bet. Five matching premium character symbols pay between 5x and 10x the bet.

Wild symbols can substitute for regular paying symbols and are also directly connected to the cascade mechanic.

Wild Cascades

Every winning combination starts a cascade. The symbols involved in the win are removed from the reels, but the empty spaces are not filled immediately.

Before new regular symbols fall into place, the game adds one Wild symbol to one of the empty positions. New symbols then drop into the remaining spaces.

• Winning symbols are removed from the grid.
• One Wild is placed into one of the cleared positions.
• New symbols fall into the remaining empty spaces.
• A new qualifying win starts another cascade.
• The sequence ends when the new grid produces no further win.

DoubleMax Multiplier

The DoubleMax multiplier is represented by cannon balls beneath the reels. Each time a qualifying win occurs, the active multiplier doubles in value.

The supplied information states that the multiplier has no fixed upper limit. During the base game, however, it resets when a new paid spin begins.

Multiplier Jump

Barbarossa DoubleMax adds a separate mechanic called Multiplier Jump. Instead of always moving through the normal doubling sequence, the multiplier can occasionally skip directly to a higher value.

For example, a multiplier sitting at x1 may jump straight to x4 instead of first progressing to x2.

A Multiplier Jump can occur up to three times in succession, allowing the multiplier to increase more quickly during a successful sequence.

Free Spins

Free Spins are triggered by Scatter symbols. The number of spins awarded depends on how many Scatters appear in the triggering round.

Free Spins cannot be retriggered. Their main difference from the base game is that the DoubleMax multiplier does not reset between spins.

Persistent Free Spins Multiplier

During normal paid gameplay, a completed spin resets the multiplier. The Free Spins round removes that reset.

If the multiplier reaches x8, for example, that value carries into the next Free Spin. Future wins can then increase it further through the normal DoubleMax progression or a Multiplier Jump.

Golden Bet

Golden Bet is an optional setting that changes both the cost of the round and the chance of reaching Free Spins.

Because Golden Bet increases the cost of every affected round, the total amount should be checked after the option is activated rather than relying only on the original stake setting.

Bonus Buy

Barbarossa DoubleMax includes two Bonus Buy options for direct access to Free Spins.

• 100x the bet: purchases access to at least 7 Free Spins.
• 200x the bet: purchases a random number of Free Spins.

The supplied information does not provide the complete probability distribution for the random 200x option, so no additional values are assumed.

RTP and Volatility

The highest listed RTP configuration for Barbarossa DoubleMax is 96.2%.

Three lower RTP versions are also mentioned, but their exact percentages are not provided. The RTP shown inside the currently available game version should therefore be checked before playing.

All versions described in the supplied information use high volatility.

Bet Range and Maximum Win

Standard stakes range from 0.20 to 50 per spin in supported currencies. Golden Bet increases the effective cost of a round by 50% when used.

The maximum stated payout is 20,000x the selected bet. This is the overall win ceiling given in the supplied information rather than the guaranteed value of one specific feature or symbol combination.
