Captain's Treasure: How the Dollar Ball Side Game Works

Captain's Treasure is a Playtech pirate slot, and it keeps things simple. There is exactly one bonus feature, the Dollar Ball, and you choose whether to use it. Everything else is plain line play.

Dollar Ball: the one Captain's Treasure feature

To activate it, click the Dollar Ball logo in the upper right corner of the reels. You then pick five numbers from 1 to 49, a bit like filling in a lottery ticket.

Once it is on, some symbols carry numbers as the reels spin. When those numbers match the ones you chose, they count towards the Dollar Ball prize. Check the help screen for the exact prize ladder.

Is Dollar Ball worth switching on?

In Playtech games Dollar Ball normally works as a side bet, adding a small extra stake to each spin while it is active, so your balance drops faster with it on. Decide before you start whether you want the extra chance at a prize, and budget for it. There is nothing wrong with playing the base game alone.

Playtech and payout settings

Playtech has not published return figures for its games as a matter of course, though several established Playtech casinos have started to release them. On the CasinoMeister forum, a manager from Boyle Casino stated that Playtech slot games could not be configured on the operator's side. Take that as one operator's statement rather than a guarantee for every site, and remember that any slot keeps a house edge.
