Barbarossa: the pirate who doubles the stakes with every cascade
Barbarossa, from Peter and Sons, spreads its 243 ways over five reels of three symbols. Every win triggers a cascade that leaves a WILD on one of the winning positions, and every cascade doubles the multiplier of the series; in the free spins, that multiplier never comes back down. A bonus event can also push the multiplier up a notch at random.

The cove
The grid sits in a rope-bound wooden frame under a skull-topped BARBAROSSA sign; behind it, a misty bay with a wreck, a palm tree and a skull-shaped rock. On the left, a cannon carries a glowing x1 cannonball, and under the reels a chain of cannonballs shows x2, x4 and x8: that is the multiplier scale. The strong symbols are the pirates: the red-bearded captain in a tricorne, the black-haired corsair with a spyglass, the pirate in a green coat, the tattooed giant and the woman in purple with a golden horn; the low symbols are a compass, an anchor, a wheel, a bottle marked XXX and two crossed pistols. The round spin button is on the right, the rocket opens the purchase, the menu and the sound are at the bottom left.
Starting a spin


Choose the stake in the bet field.
Press the round button; Autoplay is set via START with a number of rounds.
A win needs the same symbol on 3, 4 or 5 consecutive reels from the left; only the best combination per way is paid.
If a reel carries several copies of the winning symbol, the win is multiplied by their number: 2 × 3 × 2 gives ×12.
Cascades and multiplier
After a win, the winning symbols vanish, a WILD takes one of their places and new symbols fill the gaps; the cascade repeats as long as there are wins. The WILD replaces all ordinary symbols, in the base game as in the free spins. Every cascade doubles the total multiplier; during the base game, one spin or cascade without a win sends it back to the start.
Event | Effect on the multiplier |
|---|---|
Cascade | Doubled |
Spin or cascade without a win, base game | Reset to the start |
Spin without a win, free spins | Kept until the end of the series |
Multiplier Jump | One notch up, at random, up to three times in a row |
The scatter, for its part, appears only in the base game.
Free spins
Three scatters give 7 free spins, and every additional scatter adds 2. The series keeps the original stake, the multipliers do not reset between spins, and no scatter can extend it. The Golden Bet, half a stake extra, doubles the chances of reaching the free spins; the direct purchase costs ×100 for 7 spins or ×200 for a random series of 7 to 11 spins.
Demo and dinars


To try Barbarossa without spending, the slots section offers a free demo; games in Algerian dinars (DZD) call for a 1xBet account, and the Peter and Sons page gathers the studio's other titles.
Other cascades
Le Bandit also drops new symbols after every win, but in clusters on 6 × 5. Sugar Rush Fever shares the 243 ways and plays them without cascades.
