Treasure Hunt Review

This slot game recycles the 'book of' mechanic and takes players on a treasure hunt to a historic location. Deeply inspired by a popular comic show, the game utilizes familiar gameplay and features but comes with a joking theme that makes it stand out.

Treasure Hunt - Slot Outlook

The slot originates from the amusing performance at a Comedy Club show. A character, who played the hilarious treasure hunter, is the game's main character's prototype, so don't get surprised hearing a strong accent when you hit wins and bonus features. Humor takes place in the game also, and the reels are set on an archeological site, where the researchers managed to excavate a tiny copy of a pyramid, a TV, and a prehistoric slot machine. The backdrop showcases colossal pyramids, and some individuals left a message on one of them.

The developer didn't attempt to reinvent the wheel when producing its 'book of' slot, and Treasure Hunt plays out on a standard 5x3 reel set with 10 ways to play. Offering bets from $0.1 to $20 per spin, the stats laid down here are similar to those found in other 'book of' games. The volatility tends to the high side of the spectrum, while the RTP is slightly beneath the average at 95.5%. As for the wins, players can hope for payouts of up to 5,500x the stake on a single spin here.

The joyful treasure hunter dominates the paytable in the Treasure Hunt slot, and the rest of the regular symbols are pretty familiar across the niche. He is followed by pots, scarabs, and ankhs, while the lower section is made up of classic A-10 royals. Landing at least two matching premium symbols adjacently starting from the leftmost reel is needed to score a win, and lower symbols pay for three-of-a-kind and more. 5-of-a-kind royal symbol wins are worth from 10x to 15x the bet, while premiums pay from 75x to 500x. The gold shovel symbol with the word 'dig' on it acts as both Scatter and Wild. It substitutes for any other regular symbols and pays up 500x the stake for line wins, plus plays into the feature, explained below.

Treasure Hunt - Bonus Features

The slot makes use of standard 'book'-of' features, and central to the gameplay here is the Free Spins feature. Whenever 3 or more Scatter symbols appear anywhere in view during the base game, players receive 10 free spins as well as a payout of 2x, 20x, and 200x of the bet. Before the free round begins, a random symbol is chosen to become the special Expanding Symbol. Special symbols expand to cover the reels entirely after they land and pay anywhere on the grid, meaning that they don't need to land adjacently to award wins.

In the base game, players can double their winnings via the Gamble feature. It's a classic gamble round, where the aim is to guess the correct card suit color. Guess correctly and your win will be doubled, otherwise - you'll lose your winnings. The feature is repeatable, so, with a certain dose of luck, you can scoop pretty impressive wins here.

Treasure Hunt - Slot Verdict

We've seen dozens of similar copies, and Treasure Hunt, much like any of them, doesn't deliver anything new or extraordinary to the genre. It should appeal to a specific audience, as intended, but Treasure Hunt doesn't have a thing to let it into the big leagues. The straightforward 'book of' gameplay isn't something terrific like it was years ago, and unless you're a fan, you won't find anything here to keep you hooked.
