Just Slots Launches Shadow Pirates with New 2XCOIN™ Feature

Published

on

Just Slots has launched its latest title, Shadow Pirates, marking another step forward in the studio’s 2026 content roadmap with its first 4096-ways game and the debut of its new 2XCOIN™ collection mechanic, and a max win potential of x10,000.

Set in a supernatural high-seas world, Shadow Pirates places players in the middle of a battle between rival ghost-pirate crews competing for cursed treasure hidden beneath haunted seas. The game’s central mechanic is built around visible tension and payoff, where valuable coin symbols land on the reels before opposing collectors battle to determine which side claims the treasure and what multiplier is applied.

Designed on a 6×4 reel grid with 4096 ways to win, Shadow Pirates moves beyond traditional paylines and signals a broader expansion in the gameplay styles Just Slots is bringing to market this year. At the core of the release is 2XCOIN™, a new feature-led mechanic developed as part of the studio’s evolving technology and game design strategy. Coin symbols appear across the middle reels carrying individual values, including high-value symbols worth up to 1,000× the bet.

Collector symbols on the outer reels then expand to trigger a VS-style collection event, with the outcome deciding which coins are captured and which multiplier is applied. In addition, if two expanding collector symbols of the same colour land simultaneously on reels 1 and 6 within the same spin, the matching coloured coin symbols are collected twice rather than once, adding an extra layer of reward potential to the feature. This deliberate gap between the coin values hitting the reels and the decided outcome, creates a moment of anticipation that sits at the centre of the gameplay experience. Free Spins are triggered by Scatter symbols and further build on that progression through sticky coin behaviour, allowing repeated collection opportunities and stronger feature outcomes throughout the bonus round. The game also includes HotSpin, which boosts the chance of triggering Free Spins, alongside a Bonus Buy option.

Josué Agüero, Senior Game Producer at Just Slots, said: “The visual identity was built directly around the rivalry mechanic, combining a treasure-chase narrative with darker supernatural styling and feature moments designed to heighten suspense.”

Shadow Pirates also saw an exclusive pre-release on Roobet before the market wide rollout. A dedicated Stake.com promotion, “Stake vs Eddie”, will run from 11 to 18 May, giving players the chance to compete around multiplier-driven gameplay moments.

The title will also be available as a public demo on just-slots.com, as well as through partner and affiliate sites. With Shadow Pirates, Just Slots continues to strengthen its position as a studio focused on feature-led storytelling, technical innovation and commercially relevant gameplay mechanics.
