Treasure Hunt

IGT are one of the oldest slot providers still regularly turning out new titles, and they show no signs of letting up anytime soon. Which is great, because it means there are always new games to look forward to.

With Treasure Hunt, the developers have stuck to the tried and true classic slot formula. The game is played on a grid made up of 5 reels and 3 rows with 30 paylines.

The theme is pirates, and you’ll see a ship flying the skull and crossbones sailing across the screen in the background. The betting range is huge, going from 0.30 all the way up to 3000 per spin, so no matter what your budget, you will be able to find a level you are comfortable with.

The lower paying symbols are the usual card ranks, starting with the 10 through the face cards to the Ace. The higher paying symbols are all about pirates and treasure and include a ship’s bell, a treasure map, a pirate flag, a compass, and a ring.

As well as the card ranks and themed regular symbols, there are Wilds and two types of Scatter that can also land to aid you in your quest for pirate gold. These also follow the theme of the game.

A skull symbol is the Wild. This can land on any reel, and when it does, it will help you form winning combos by standing in for other symbols. It also gives some pretty hefty payouts of its own for landing three or more.

The pirate boat and the treasure chest both act as Scatters, and their appearance on the reels will trigger one of the game's two bonus features.

Surrounding Wilds

Whenever the Pirate Boat Scatter lands on the reels, the Surrounding Wilds feature will kick in. The triggering symbol itself and all symbols adjacent to it turn into Wilds, significantly boosting your chances of forming a winning combo.

Free Spins

Land 3, 4, or 5 Treasure Chest Scatters, and you’ll trigger the Free Spins bonus feature, giving you 10, 20, or 100 free spins, respectively. During this round, the reels are "richer", meaning that more high value symbols will land than during the base game, giving you a better chance at the game's maximum payout of 1000 x your bet. The Treasure Chest scatter can also land during this round to give you more free spins. The number of spins awarded for 3, 4, or 5 Treasure Chest Scatters is the same as in the base game.

Despite the animated background, developer IGT provides a classic slot game experience through Treasure Hunt. Gameplay is straightforward and with only thirty paylines, keeping track of winning combos is not too complicated. The Surrounding Wilds feature is a nice touch and gives the game that little extra twist to stop it getting boring.
