Treasure Horse

In the base game of Treasure Horse, everything is as simple as possible. You have three reels and eighteen fixed paylines in front of you. Each spin is a chance to collect a combination of Asian symbols: coins, bars, reels, goldfish and, of course, the horse itself. The main feature is that payouts come often, albeit in small portions, but the real action begins if you collect several Wild symbols or catch the necessary Scatters. Sometimes in the main game it is possible to "catch" a series of average wins in a row, which is a little invigorating and does not let you get bored while waiting for the bonus.

The bonus in Treasure Horse is triggered if a Scatter symbol in the form of a horse appears on the third reel, and any other matches appear on the other two. After that, the Free Spins round begins: you are immediately given eight free spins, and this is where the progressive multiplier appears. The bottom line is that after each spin, the multiplier of winnings increases by +1: you start with x2, then x3, x4, and so on until the session ends. If a Scatter appears again during the bonus, you can get additional Free Spins - plus 8 more spins. All of these mechanics turn the bonus round into a real chance to catch something more solid than the base game.

All the symbolism in Treasure Horse is a classic Asian theme: gold coins, reels, bars, fish and hieroglyphs. The most valuable symbol is, of course, the Wild with the image of a golden horse. It replaces any regular symbols and really helps to collect large combinations. Scatter here is responsible only for triggering Free Spins. Small winnings most often come for combinations of coins and fish, they just keep the balance, but top combinations with Wild and bars can already "shoot" more seriously. The entire paytable is displayed on fixed lines, which simplifies the perception — it is always clear what and how much you get.

The maximum win in Treasure Horse is x6000 of your bet. To catch such a result, you need to have a full screen of top symbols with the maximum multiplier in the bonus game, that is, closer to the end of the Free Spins round. In practice, the slot is medium volatile, so huge big wins do not happen often. In most cases, the bonus brings x50-x200, and a big win is already real luck. For those who are not chasing jackpots, but want to catch a good drift sometimes, the slot gives real chances - but without guarantees.

Treasure Horse's graphics are nice and not overloaded with details: everything is bright, but without acid shades. The symbols are drawn neatly, the background resembles Chinese pagodas and lanterns. The music is traditional, with light Asian motifs in the background, which do not get boring even after a long session. The animations are simple: rotation of the reels, flashing lines when winning, and a smooth transition to the bonus. The optimisation is also at the level - nothing lags, even on the phone everything works fine.

Treasure Horse is perfect for those who love classic slot machines, but want something unusual in terms of atmosphere and bonuses. If you are tired of megaways and slots with a hundred features, but want something simpler, here you are just at the right place. For beginners, it is also a good option: the rules are clear from the first spin, there are no complicated options, but there is a chance to hit a decent win in the bonus.

The slot usually has an RTP of 96.52%, but Pragmatic Play allows the casino to reduce this figure - there are versions by 95.52% and 94.52%. Always check what RTP is chosen in your casino. Volatility is average, so it is better to choose bets of no more than 1-2% of the bankroll so that it is enough for a long session and not to lose in five minutes. Auto-spins are not really needed here - the slot is unhurried, bonuses are rare, but sometimes you can bet on the car if you just want to relax. If there is a Bonus Buy option, it is not provided in the original, so count only on the "fair" activation of Free Spins.
