Treasure Tracks Slot Machine: Review & Demo
Treasure Tracks is the result of the collaboration between Gold Coin Studios and Microgaming, with the former doing the development, while the latter gets it as an exclusive and shares it with hundreds of the best online casinos that are using their platform. It’s got an interesting theme for once, as the slot has a bit of a luxury train ride feel to it, which will go well with features and top rewards that you can claim.
5x3 reels, the expected layout for most online slot machines, will be used in Treasure Tracks, and there are 20 lines to go with them as well. Expect for the slot machine to deliver top wins of up to 5,000x the stake, so up to $250,000 cash. At the same time, we know that its expected RTP is 96.39%. You will want to experience a little bit of what it can deliver when it comes to major features, as it includes free spins with Connectify Pays, along with Locomotive scatters and Train Conductor wilds.
Betting and Prizes
The wager, in its most simple variant, will have a value somewhere between $0.20 and $50 per spin.
If you activate the extra bet option, you spend 50% extra, so the range becomes $0.30 to $75. The effect it has, is to turn the Royals into golden variants, for a better shot at reaching the free spins (they are considered scatters, for the purpose of triggering free spins).
With a 5,000x jackpot potentially paid out by Treasure Tracks, players could be looking forward to up to $250,000 cash prizes. It’s not exactly easy to come by though, since this is a volatile game, but the RTP is where it should be, above the average (96.39%).
Treasure Tracks Slot Features
One of the feature symbols involved, the Train Conductor will act as a substitute, and you can have her included in all sorts of winning combinations. Placed alongside regular symbols, it can help them pay.
Second, there is a Golden Locomotive symbols as well, that you will get to use as a trigger for 10-20 free spins, a typical scatter. 3 or more will do that, though if you have the Gold Coin Bet on, you can combine scatters with Royals that have golden edges, to get that same effect.
Once inside, there is a different game area, where you’re using Connectify Pays, trying to form combinations with trains colored in gold, red, or blue. Depending on which you combine, wins of 5x to 5,000x the stake could result. The free spins can be retriggered, at random.
Theme & Design
Treasure Tracks does what you’d expect of it, it gives you a train themed design, and it’s doing a decent job with it. Expect to see a more vintage luxury approach to it, so even if you’re not a fan of trains typically, you might enjoy the retro side of it anyway. It’s not always true of slots that we’re getting at Microgaming, but here I think most players will enjoy the design.
Symbols will give you images of Train Conductors (wilds), Locomotives (scatters), a pocket watch, lamp, ticket clipper, hat, bells, but also five Royals (Ten to Ace). The latter will potentially appear with golden borders around them, though you have to pay extra for the privilege.
Conclusion
Treasure Tracks is going to be a pretty good slot machine, it even offers an extra feature/way of getting to the free spins, and the figures it puts out are pretty good. I’m OK with its RTP and high volatility, since it also means that a jackpot of up to 5,000x can be paid.
