Skull Duggery Details Page

Software (9)

When you are hooked into a Microgaming product, you can literally assure yourself that you are dealing with a piece of software that is at the highest level as far as safety and security are concerned. There is a huge convenience factor as well, in that you can choose to go about the business of playing Skull Duggery without actually having to interact with the software. Navigability is user-friendly, and there are sound controls that allow you to control the atmosphere.

Easy to Understand (10)

The Skull Duggery video slot game is very easy to understand, as most of the video slots in the Microgaming galaxy are. The rules of the game are simple, and can be reviewed or referenced by using the "Help" files that are located at the top left of the screen, with the "?" button.

Graphics & Sounds (9)

The graphics are very well-done, and the imagery is strong. There is an appreciation for the designers that has to come through. There is nothing particularly earth-shattering about the soundtrack, but there is the convenience of being able to stand at the controls of the sounds, whether they be game sounds, background sounds, win sounds, or any combination of all of them.

Theme and Concept (8)

Count on Microgaming to take a familiar genre and design a theme that is both user-friendly and consistent throughout the game. In Skull Duggery we see the existence of the pirate world and all that inhabits it, and takes the scatter and wild symbols and incorporates them very well into the game.

Game Features (7)

Players can take advantage of "Quick Spin", which will allow you to get in more play within a shorter period of time, and AutoPlay, which automates your decision-making, in fact taking all the decision-making out the game once you have set what you want to do for a specified number of spins. The bonus game, which is called the "Booty Bonus." is okay but could use more dimensions.

Betting Options (7)

The minimum coin size is .01, with a maximum of a dollar. However, there is a maximum of only nine paylines, so as a result there is a ceiling of just 45 coins that can be wagered on any single round of play. If you're a high roller, you may want to explore different options.

Jackpots (8)

The biggest payout available for regular play in Skull Duggery is 12,000 coins for five Skull Duggery symbols in an enabled payline. That's great, and a lot higher than you will get with a lot of games, but four Skull Duggery symbols brings only 1000 coins, which represents quite a dip. It should be mentioned that you can win up to 3000 coins in the Booty Bonus game, if five Thief symbols appear on an enabled payline.
