A development of All41 Studios; the Microgaming-powered Book of Captain Silver is an August 2021 video slot featuring—and named after the logbook of—the fictitious pirate Long John Silver, originally from Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1883 book Treasure Island.
Themes: piracy, gems, marine navigation, picker wheel, naval warfare, playing card values, and loot. Wanted Outlaws (All41 Studios; September 2020) is raiding-themed too. Four symbols (Long John Silver, pirate ship, blunderbuss gun, and compass) require two, three, four, or five winning combinations. Six symbols (A, K, Q, J, 10, and pirate’s logbook) require three, four, or five winning combinations.
