Treasure Rain

Travel to the Far East on the slot from NetEnt for an encounter with mighty deities. Treasure Rain is the Asian-themed variant of NetEnt’s blockbuster slot Gonzo’s Quest, further increasing their number of games directed to our friends in China and other Asian countries. An Avalanche reel mechanic, wild substitutions and a Free Falls bonus feature can lead to wins of up to 2,500 times your bet.

Slot Details

Treasure Rain is a cascading video slot with five reels, three rows and 20 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for three to five matching symbols on a line from left to right only. Travel to the Far East on desktop or mobile from 0.20 to 50 credits per spin. The game has medium variance with an RTP of 95.97%.

The visuals are very much in line with the cliché for Asian-themed slots. Bold red colours are mixed with lots of gold, all with a serene mountain scene and temples in the background while traditional lucky charms dominate on the reels. NetEnt added to lampions on each side of the game window. The entire setup lights up in the bonus feature where bigger lampions are added to the screen.

The pay symbols start at the low end with the card royals from J through to A, awarding 2.5x to 10x your bet for a single five of a kind. They are followed by a money tree, a lucky frog and a smiling monk. Hit five on a line to win 25x to 125x your stake. The game has also a wild symbol and a scatter. The former substitutes for all symbols.

Treasure Rain Slot Features

Core to the gameplay is the Avalanche reel mechanic in both the base game and free spins. At the start of a spin sequence, 15 symbol blocks will drop onto the grid to potentially form winning combinations. Any combo will see the respective blocks shatter and disappear to make room for new symbols to avalanche into place. Score another winner and the process is repeated up to the moment were no new wins occur after an avalanche.

At the same time, a win multiplier increases progressively with each winning avalanche from the default x1 to x2, x3 and ultimately to x5. The display in the top right corner will show the active multiplier. It will reset to the default once a spin sequence concludes.

Hit three or more scatters on a pay line starting from reel one to trigger the Free Falls feature. You will get 10 free spins for each pay line on which the scatters have landed. The feature can be retriggered and not to forget, wild symbols substitute for scatters as well, making it easier to enter the bonus round. During the feature, the win multipliers are increased, starting at x3 and raising to x6, x9 and x15 after the first, second and third winning avalanche. It will reset to x3 at the end of a free spin sequence, only to start rising again after the next winning combo.

Final Verdict

Starting 2019, NetEnt embarked on a quest to please our Asian gaming friends with reskins of existing games. However, new graphics that are chosen to appeal to them, are a pretty lazy approach if you want to make inroads into the largely untapped market for online casinos. While NetEnt has chosen some of their most popular titles for the reskins, it would be more interesting to see something completely new. Either way, players will have now alternatives to the original slots, which is not all a bad thing.
