Pirate Gold Deluxe paytable: what each 20-line win is worth in bet units
Published — UTC
Short answer: Pirate Gold Deluxe is a Pragmatic Play slot with 20 lines. Pragmatic’s game page lists an RTP of 96.48%, and the official demo returns the same figure. Converted into bet units, the top symbol’s five-of-a-kind line pays 12.5 times the total bet (250 units at 0.10 per line, against a total bet of 2.00). The 1,000-spin demo sample we recorded returned 101.4% of the stake, but its 95% range is 66.7% to 136.1%. That is far too wide to test a 96.48% RTP, so this article uses it only for hit-rate and distribution context.

Turning the paytable into bet units
The demo paytable has 15 symbol rows and five columns. Four columns carry pays, and the fifth is zero in every row. We read the columns as five, four, three and two of a kind. This column order is our inference from the layout of the data, not a labelled field, so check it against the in-game paytable before relying on it. Each value is a multiple of the line bet, so a line win equals the value times 0.10 demo units.
Because the bet is spread over 20 lines, one winning line of value v equals v ÷ 20 times the total bet. Our calculation for the non-zero rows is below.
| Paytable row | 5 of a kind | 4 of a kind | 3 of a kind | 2 of a kind | 5 of a kind, in total-bet units | 4 of a kind, in total-bet units |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 250 | 50 | 10 | 2 | 12.5 | 2.5 |
| 5 | 250 | 50 | 10 | 2 | 12.5 | 2.5 |
| 6 | 150 | 25 | 10 | 1 | 7.5 | 1.25 |
| 7 | 150 | 25 | 10 | 1 | 7.5 | 1.25 |
| 8 | 100 | 20 | 6 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
| 9 | 100 | 20 | 6 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
| 10 | 40 | 10 | 4 | 0 | 2 | 0.5 |
| 11 | 40 | 10 | 4 | 0 | 2 | 0.5 |
| 12 | 20 | 8 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 0.4 |
| 13 | 20 | 8 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 0.4 |
Our calculation: a value of 250 at a 0.10 line bet is 25.00 demo units, which is 12.5 times the 2.00 total bet. Rows 4 and 5 carry the same values, as do the other paired rows in the demo data, so the paytable has fewer distinct payouts than symbols.
What 1,000 demo spins show
We recorded 1,000 paid spins from the official demo server (vs40pirgold) at the default bet of 2.00 units. Each spin’s outcome was read from the balance change between paid spins, so the figures describe what the demo returned and nothing more.
- Spins with a win: 38.8%. Spins with no win: 61.2%.
- Wins below the bet: 255 spins. Wins equal to the bet: 14. Wins above the bet: 119.
- Largest single-spin win: 97.2 times the bet.
- Sample return: 101.41% of the stake, with a 95% range of 66.7% to 136.1%.
Why the sample cannot test the RTP
An RTP is a long-run average. The official 96.48% describes the whole game over a very large number of spins, while this sample is 1,000 spins. The interval for the sample return is so wide that 96.48% sits well inside it, yet a sample on its own would not confirm it either. Most of the return in a game like this comes from rare large wins, and 1,000 spins contain only a few of them. Read the hit rate and the bands as a description of this sample, not as a forecast for your session.
Limits and what to check next
- The demo is a free-play version. Real-money limits, currency, and the game available at any operator may differ.
- The column reading and the buy price are unverified and are marked as such above.
- Nothing here says where the game can be played or on what terms. Check the operator’s own game information page.
