Say what you will about fantasy games, but there’s a certain, inexplicable charm to them. Whether it’s the ability to let your mind wander in a world somewhat similar, and yet completely different to our own, or just the daydream of having a world where you could probably use magic to not have to clean your own room up. Either way, Red Tiger Gaming decided to dip its feet in such a world with their 2017 release, Treasure Mine, in which you’re treated to some gorgeous graphics and a rather sizeable jackpot. The title’s RTP is 95.2%.
The 5x4 playing field is something a lot of players will have experience with, but the real meat of this experience are the features that can be unlocked at any given point. There’s no free spins, but you have quite a few fun little bonuses that make up for its absence.
The game stands out because there’s not just the regular Wild that replaces symbols and awards pays. Instead, you have three additional Wilds, which, in combination with each other, create special features the players can make use of. The Dragon and Redbeard Wild together will result in Redbeard being fried by the dragon. He’ll flee the reels, leaving a trail of Wilds in his wake. The Dragon and Treasure Strike Wild will multiply the treasure. And finally, Redbeard and the Treasure Strike Wild will have the miner start digging, finding and collecting an instant-win cash prize. All three of these bonuses award a new payout after the interaction takes place, effectively doubling the value of one spin.
On top of that, collecting three Scatters triggers the Treasure Run, during which Redbeard rides a mine-cart along a railroad, collecting gemstones as he passes. Each collected stone rewards a prize, up to a maximum of 1000x.
The bonuses are rather simple after you’ve spent a bit of time with the game, even if the paytable makes them seem a bit more intimidating than they really are at first glance. The features aren’t that frequent, but as a result, the prizes they rewarded are usually quite good.
You can wager between $0.10 up to $100 per spin, which should appease a large group of gamblers, both more casual players as well as serious gamblers who bet big. The largest jackpot you can win amounts to 160,000 coins.
The game uses the same Red Tiger autoplay options as the rest of their slots. You can set your loss limit, win threshold, as well as if you want the game to pause during jackpot wins or feature activations.
The features are quite strong, so you will want to make sure you’re in the game long enough to activate them. As a result, we recommend budgeting a little on the conservative side of things as you play Treasure Mine. Better safe than sorry.
There’s no major differences between the mobile and desktop versions of this slot. The only real changes are related to positioning of certain buttons to make it easier for touch screen users to tap instead of click.
