Legendary Treasures: Slot Overview

It's kind of funny how we celebrate adventurers in pop culture jetting to other countries, finding the X on a map, prising open a tomb or stealing into a sealed chamber, getting ancient treasure, then taking it home. In real life, spiriting antiquities out of another country to display in a museum or sell on the black market is seriously frowned upon. Ah well, that's one reason we have pop culture, to live vicariously through pretend people in pretend worlds. If you like that idea, why not come check out Legendary Treasures from Games Global partner studio Just For The Win, a game where players join a steely-eyed adventurer on the hunt for riches in an exotic locale?

There might not be a fedora in sight, but Legendary Treasures sits firmly in the Indiana Jones whip-cracking, puzzle-solving mould. Speaking of hats, the release of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny has apparently been a bonanza for at least one part of the hat-making industry. The example given by Yahoo was Herbert Johnson, a London outfit that's been making hats for over 130 years, which saw a sevenfold rise in revenue thanks to the 'Destiny Poet' - the hat Indy wore in the final Indiana Jones film. At $495 a pop, customers face waits of up to 6 months for delivery of their Destiny Poet hat due to a backlog of hundreds of orders. Well, as stated, there are not many hats in Legendary Treasures, where our courageous tomb raider finds himself in an off-the-beaten-path, neatly presented part of Egypt, a country that has been extensively tomb-raided for millennia.

Legendary Treasures does another form of raiding, too, of sorts, as it is a reskin of the Just For The Win game Western Gold 2. Not just features, but all of the stats have remained the same, meaning players get a highly volatile math model available in a verity of RTP settings, defaulting at 96.15%. They also get a gaming setup consisting of 5 reels and 4 rows in combination with 40 paylines for landing regular wins along. As for bets, these can be set as low as 20 p/c or as high as $/€20 per spin.

Given the theme, Legendary Treasures' classic slot symbols feel a tad out of place, but no biggie. On the low side, we've got diamonds, clubs, hearts, and spades, then any combination of 7s, a single 7, a double 7, a triple 7, and the adventure chap as the most valuable. When hitting a winning line of 5 matching low pays, players collect 1 to 1.5 times their bet, rising to 3 to 30 times the bet for the higher paying symbol combinations. Wilds have the same value as the adventurer and appear on all reels. As well as triggering wins of themselves, wilds are able to substitute for any regular pay symbols.

Legendary Treasures: Slot Features

To potentially get your mitts on some treasure, Legendary Treasures provides several different methods for doing so. These are scatter awards, the Treasure Barrel, free spins, super free spins, the Feature Barrel, and Buy Free Spins.

Scatters

In the base game, landing at least 4 scatter symbols pays a reward. So, when 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 scatters hit, the payout comes to 1x, 5x, 15x, 25x, 50x, 100x, 250x, 1,000x, or 10,000x the bet, respectively.

Pyramid Symbols

Pyramid symbols only appear on all reels in the base game. When 2 pyramid symbols hit, the Treasure Barrel triggers, and a random cash prize is paid.

Free Spins

Scatter symbols appear on reels 2, 3, and 4 in the base game. Hitting 3 of them awards 3 free spins with a starting multiplier of x1. During free spins, an Artefact symbol appears on the rightmost reel, and landing one of them triggers the Feature Barrel while resetting the free spins counter. The Feature Barrel can award:

  • Cash Collect – awards the cash prize of the scatters currently collected in the Treasure Barrel.
  • Barrel Upgrade – upgrades all of the prizes on the Treasure Barrel.
  • Mulpier Boost – upgrades the multiplier by 1.
  • Reset Extra – increases the free spins counter reset value by 1.
  • Super Free Spins – upgrades free spins to super free spins

Another one of the big changes in free spins is that scatters are collected when they land rather than instantly pay a prize. Instead, when the round ends, a scatter pay is awarded depending on the number of scatter symbols collected.

Super Free Spins

Super free spins can either be awarded by the Feature Barrel in free spins or by landing 3 free spins symbols and 2 Pyramid symbols in the base game. This round also begins with 3 free spins and a starting multiplier of x1. The rules of Super Free Spins are the same as free spins with the Artefact Symbol and the Feature Barrel, with a few exceptions. One, the current scatter pay value on the Treasure Barrel is awarded at the end of each super free spin. Also, when the Feature Barrel is triggered, it can award Barrel Upgrade, Multiplier Boost, or Reset Extra.

Buy Free Spins

From the bonus buy menu, players are able to buy free spins for 85x the bet or super free spins for 500x the bet. When buying free spins, it is possible to trigger a super free spins session instead.

Legendary Treasures: Slot Verdict

The original game, Western Gold 2, was one of the more elaborate examples of a scatter symbol instant award type game, bursting at the seams with features and different ways to potentially be rewarded. As such, it's no major surprise to see Just For The Win wrangle extra mileage out of it by cranking up the reskin machine. What's come out the other side, Legendary Treasures, is a game which is neither much better nor any worse than the original. Well, depending on the theme, really, as that is the only thing differentiating the two games.

And the theme's not bad either, a little overdone by now perhaps, but Just For The Win's art team consistently turns out nice-looking games, of which Legendary Treasures is another. Its features are the real star, though, since, as well as simply landing scatters to collect money, there are loads of extras supplementing the core goal. Pyramid symbols make the base game more interesting, and free spins and super free spins are bulging with features. If the more simplistic scatter wins games are too basic, then something like Legendary Treasures might make the ideal alternative. The game is no slacker when it comes to max payout either, tipping the scales at 25,000 times the stake.

To sum up, yeah, it's a copy of what was already available, which may lose it a few cool points. But putting that aside, Legendary Treasures delivers another bout of extensively designed scatter symbol award gaming with a stack of extra trimmings on the side.

Good

Legendary Treasures delivers another bout of extensively designed scatter symbol award gaming with a stack of extra trimmings on the side and does it fairly well.
