Talk Like a Pirate Day at SlotoCash
September marks International Talk Like a Pirate Day, when celebrants are invited to join the buccaneers, who once ruled the 7 seas. Talk like a Pirate Day is observed in many parts of the world with pirate-themed events, real money slots gaming events, and plenty of pirate talk.
Avast Ye! Heave Ho! And join SlotoCash for a chance to plunder the poop deck and walk away with some of the casino's pieces of eight!
Pirates
Accounts of piracy date back thousands of years to the Armana letters that described battles between Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses III and the Sea Peoples, though historians assume that attacks on trading ships had been going on way before that time. Historian Herodotus described Greek pirates' activities during the Peloponnesian War, and even Julius Caesar was captured by Sicilian pirates in his youth.
The heyday of piracy was in the Middle Ages, when pirates roamed the Caribbean, attacking Spanish ships that were returning from South America, laden with the treasures of the New World. Pirates often hid their loot in secret places in the hopes that they'd be able to return and collect the bounty at a future time.
Talk Like a Pirate Day
In 1995, two friends randomly started to speak to each other in pirate lingo, and the practice was adopted by their friends who found it humorous. Over time, people around the world picked up the speech mode and after syndicated columnist Dave Barry popularized the practice, it morphed into the International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
Many things that pirates used to do – dueling, enjoying cuisine of hardtack, salted beef, and dried beans, swilling rum, repairing ropes and scraping planks – have been relegated to history, but you can celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day with some salty language and some pirate-themed slots entertainment.
Some of SlotoCash's top pirate games include:
Caribbean Draw Poker
Shiver me timbers! Poker has never offered as much entertaining excitement as you'll find in the Caribbean Draw Poker variation, which kept pirates in the crow's nest entertained during the long journeys around the Caribbean's balmy seas.
Caribbean Draw Poker combines elements of Five-Card-Draw and Caribbean Stud Poker. When you play Caribbean Draw, you compete against the dealer in a competition to build the strongest poker hand.
Both you and the dealer receive an initial deal of 5 cards. One of the dealer's cards is dealt face-up. You then have your choice of either folding or trading in up to 2 of your cards (if you trade, you must make a second bet). After the trade, the dealer reveals his cards and can also trade cards. The two hands are compared. The dealer hand must have an Ace-King high or better to remain in the game. Payout is based on how your hand compares to the dealer's, with the strongest poker hand winning the entire pot.
Goldbeard
Blow me down with the Goldbeard online slot, which you can play for free in the casino's Free Mode or for real money prizes in the Real Mode. In this game, pirate captain Goldbeard is sitting pretty after hornswaggling enough treasure to keep him and his mateys living the good life for years to come.
