Slot Details

Kingdoms Rise: Captain’s Treasure is a video slot with six reels, four rows and 50 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for three to six matching symbols on a line from left to right only. Join the pirates on desktop or mobile from 0.10 to 1,000 credits per spin. The game has medium variance with an overall RTP of 96.05% of which 3% are reserved for the Kingdoms Rise Tokens and 0.99% for the jackpot contribution. This brings the base RTP to 92.06%.

The scenery opening up when you load the game is not what you would expect considering the title. You won’t be sailing the high seas, instead, you are taken into a fantasy world on a flying ship. Your journey above fire-red clouds goes down on six reels that are finely ornamented with a golden frame while the three jackpot displays as well as the Kingdoms Rise map and token shop banner flank each side of the game window. A suspenseful soundtrack completes the slot design.

The pay symbols start at the low end with four differently shaped and coloured gems – purple, turquoise, pink and blue – each held in a golden frame as well as rum barrels and anchors. Hitting six on a line will pay across the board 1x your bet. The premiums are treasure maps, treasure chests, a pirate ship and the captain, awarding 2x to 5x your stake for a single six of a kind.

The game has two wilds in form of golden coins, substituting for all regular symbols. The standard wild is marked with a skull while the special wild is a golden compass marked with a ‘W’. The latter will trigger the respin feature. Landing six across the reels will yield 20x your bet. There are no scatters on this slot.

Kingdoms Rise: Captain’s Treasure Slot Features

While the main attraction of the entire Kingdoms Rise series are the three progressive jackpots, Playtech included for each ample features that will keep you not only entertained but can also deliver big wins. Not to forget, you can exchange your collected tokens for a bonus feature on any of the games in the series.

On this slot, they kept it rather simple with just Captain’s Treasure Respins as a bonus feature. It is triggered when you land a golden compass wild on any reel, setting off a series of free respins. The compass will turn once on each respin and move by one position based on where the arrow stops – left, right, up or down. It cannot move diagonally. The triggering and all new positions will turn into sticky wilds for the duration of the feature. It will all come to an end when the compass wild reaches its starting position. More compass wilds can land during the feature, turning the respins into a sticky wild frenzy. However, any of the compass wilds moving to the starting positions will see the respective sticky wilds disappear.

With the launch of the Kingdoms Rise series, Playtech has introduced an in-game Token rewards system that comes at no extra cost as such but 3% of the RTP are attributed to it. Gold coin tokens can appear attached to any pay symbol and will be added to your personal Token balance. You can use them in the Kingdoms Rise Features Shop to buy a feature on any slot from the series. You can head to the shop any time to exchange your tokens. Simply scroll down the list and pick the feature you would like to purchase.

The Golden Wilds Respins (in essence the Captain’s Treasure Respins) feature can be triggered by exchanging tokens in the Kingdoms Rise Features Shop. There are three different types available that you can purchase at any time when there is no feature active. For 500 Tokens, you’ll get a Respins feature with one compass wild, while spending 1,000 tokens will get you a feature with guaranteed two compass wilds. Or you could splurge 1,500 tokens to trigger the Respins feature with three compass wilds.

Lastly, and for some players the most important part, are the three progressive Kingdoms Rise jackpots. These are localized jackpots specific to a single casino or all brands of a casino group. A percentage of 0.99% of each bet contributes to the three jackpots. They can trigger randomly after any spin with the chances of winning one being directly relative to your bet size.

• Daily Strike Jackpot – must be won each day by the date and time shown
• Power Strike Jackpot – must be hit before it reaches a monetary threshold, e.g. before reaching 2,000 credits
• Epic Jackpot – unlimited jackpot which can be hit at any time.

Final Verdict

Kingdoms Rise: Captain’s Treasure is the fifth game in the Playtech’s series and there are already two more lined up to be released in Q1 and Q2/2020, a clear sign that the slots have been well received in the casino community. The highest jackpot paid out to date was just shy of £500,000, a truly life-changing amount that will make the jackpot chase worthwhile on any of the games in the series.

With that being said, Captain’s Treasure is not a hardcore slot. Medium volatility and a maximum win of 1,000x your bet in a single spin should deliver long slotting sessions even with smaller balances. The overall win potential has been noted with 3,000 times your stake, which you can achieve in the respin feature only, although it won’t be an easy feat.
