Treasure Snipes (Evoplay)

Treasure Snipes Review

The pirate genre is popular, and you're taken on a treasure hunting sea vessel in a swashbuckling adventure. You’ll mostly see the stern of the ship that contains the 5x3 reels grid. The reels are filled with bombs, treasure maps, and different characters, and they come alive when part of a winning combination.

Wilds help you out in the base game, but nothing much else is going on there except regular line wins. The bonus round makes it easier to trigger the main attraction, which is the streak respins style Bonus Game. It comes with cash prize and jackpot symbols, and filling the grid awards a spin on the special Grand Reel. This can give your total win a multiplier boost, or you can land jackpots up to 4,000x your stake. Prepare yourself for a pirate slot with a solid 4,600x overall max win.

Treasure-Snipes Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 10 and 100 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and you can land the Pirate Captain Wild on reels 2 to 5 in both the base game and during the bonus round. The wild steps in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins, and the wild holds no value of its own in this game.

You need at least 6 treasure chest Bonus symbols in view to trigger the Bonus Game (hit rate of 1 in 123 spins), and this can happen both in the base game and in the free spins round. The bonus symbols can land on reels 1 to 4 only, and all bonus symbols come with random cash prizes of 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 10x, 12x, or 15x your stake. You can also land Mini, Mega, or Super Jackpot bonus symbols during the Bonus Game feature.

All the triggering bonus symbols become sticky on an otherwise cleared grid, and reel number 5 turns into the Grand Reel. You start with 3 spins, and only blanks and/or new cash prize bonus symbols will appear on the regular grid. Each new bonus symbol you land becomes sticky, and this resets the spin tally to 3 each time.

The Grand Reel is blocked by default, and you need to collect 12 sticky bonus symbols on reels 1 to 4 to unlock it. You have to fill the grid with sticky bonus symbols in other words, and this gives you a Grand Reel spin. If you unlock the Grand Reel spin, you are guaranteed to win one of the following prizes:

• Mini, Mega, Super, or Grand Jackpots worth 75x, 150x, 500x, or 4,000x your stake, respectively.
• Money prizes of 20x, 30x, 40x, or 50x your stake.
• Multipliers of x2, x3, x4, or x5 that boost each cash prize bonus symbol.

If you don’t manage to fill the grid to unlock the climactic Grand Reel spin, the sum total of your collected cash prize symbols will be paid when you run out of spins.

You need at least 3 skull scatters in view to trigger the Free Spins Bonus Round (hit rate of 1 in 132 spins), and this gives you 8 free spins for starters. Low-value bomb symbols are removed for the duration of the feature, and you will land nothing but wilds, scatters, and bonus symbols on reel 3 for as long as the bonus round lasts. You retrigger the feature with +8 extra spins if you land 3 scatters on the same free spin, and 6+ bonus symbols trigger the bonus game.

The Bonus Buy menu is available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK. If eligible, you can purchase the free spins round for 32x your stake, and the bonus game for 28x your stake.

You get a decent taste of the base game, before the free spins round and the bonus game.

Review Summary

Great attention to detail when designing Treasure-Snipes. The soundtrack adds to the epic vibe of this game, and you get fun animations whenever you land a winning combo. The pace is excellent as well, not least with the turbo switched on, but keep in mind that the base game win cap is 585x your stake. On that note, you can win up to 4,116x your stake in the free spins round, which is close to the overall win cap.

The bonus round is pretty similar to the base game, but it helps that no low-value symbols appear during the feature. Reel 3 can help you trigger the bonus game, or assist in retriggering the bonus round. The main attraction is undoubtedly the bonus game though, and decent payouts can come even if you don’t unlock the climactic Grand Reel. It certainly ends the feature on a high note when you do unlock it though, and this is how you can crack the 4,600x potential. Overall, a solid pirate slot, and well worth a closer look.
