Treasure Heroes

Become a medieval knight for a hilarious reel adventure on the slot from Rabcat, powered by Microgaming. Treasure Heroes will see you entering a hidden dungeon with moving walls that will mix up the symbols on the grid to create new winning clusters, bringing you closer to collect the riches in the skeleton chamber that can be worth up to 1,925 times your bet. Cluster pays, wild substitutions and a Treasure Chamber free spins round with sticky wilds will be your path to the riches hidden in the fantasy castle.

Slot Details

Treasure Heroes is a 5×5 hybrid grid slot with cluster pays and a Moving Wall reel mechanic (more to that shortly). Wins are awarded for clusters of six or more matching symbols connecting horizontally and/or vertically. You can enter the medieval treasure chamber on desktop or mobile from 0.20 to 40 credits per spin. The game has medium volatility with an RTP of 96.12%.

Loading the game will give you a birdseye view of a medieval castle chamber with heavy doors on each side, sparsely lit by candles and magic staffs. The reels are set in the floor of the first room with each symbol being held on a stone block. The reason why will become clear once we explain the Moving Wall mechanic in short while. Think of a sliding puzzle and you will have a good indication. The action moves to the treasure chamber in the free spins round where a bony creature will pull a lever on every spin to create sticky wilds. Overall, we are looking at a masterful art piece that conveys the fantasy theme really well, all accompanied by an epic medieval soundtrack.

The game has only six regular pay symbols, starting at the low end with the sorcerer’s staff, the knight’s shield, an oil lamp and the male knight. Clusters of 25 symbols award across the board 250x your bet. The two premiums are the female sorcerer and a treasure chest bursting with gold coins. Hitting clusters of 25 symbols will pay 1,000x your stake. A pentagram-style mystical icon marked with the word itself is the wild symbol, performing the usual substitution duties. Two parts of a medieval key are the scatters on this slot.

Treasure Heroes Slot Features

The game is a homage to the fearless knights who were the heroes of the medieval era. Often enough they would end up being captured and incarcerated in a dungeon hidden deep in the basement of the castle. Rabcat’s fantasy creation evolves around and knight and a sorcerer who are in search of the hidden treasure chamber and they will need to find the key to the heavy door to gain access to the vast riches a skeleton has been guarding for eternity.

Core to the gameplay are the Cluster Pays and Moving Walls mechanics. Symbols are reeled in at the start of a spin sequence and any clusters of minimum six matching symbols or in combination with wilds landing adjacent horizontally or vertically will award a win. Once that is paid, the Moving Walls mechanic activates and shifts the reels and rows in a specific shuffling pattern:

• Vertical: Reels 1 and 5 move together randomly up or down by two positions, reel 3 moves by two positions in the opposite direction.
• Horizontal: Row 1 and 5 move together randomly left or right by two positions, row 3 moves by two positions in the opposite direction.

All empty positions created by the moves will be filled with new symbols. Should more winning clusters appear after the moves, then they are paid as well and the process repeated until no new winners occur or the bonus feature is triggered.

Landing two parts of a medieval key in one spin sequence will see them combine to open the door to the right that will lead you to the next room, triggering 10 Treasure Chamber Free Spins which cannot be retriggered. The reels will spin now as normal without the Moving Wall mechanic. Instead, a skeleton in the top right corner will pull a lever once the symbols have settled. It will send all knight and sorcerer symbols in view into a whirl and turn a random number of them into sticky wilds. They will stay locked in place until the end of the feature, providing more potential for scoring winning clusters. There will be though now moving reels or rows, just simple spins as on a normal slot. Once concluded, the unusual couple will make a runner with the found riches and you will be returning to the first chamber.

Final Verdict

Treasure Heroes is a surprising slot with a reel mechanic that will guarantee cheers and frustrations alike. Let the reels and rows move in the right direction and you might score a big winner, but let it go in the opposite and you might see the vital symbols disappear and the expected win slip away. It is refreshing though to see game developers being creative to bring us new mechanics and features, no matter whether they might appear confusing when you do the first spins. Plus, the artwork is just stunningly well done and the gameplay superbly combined with a medieval soundtrack. The only complaint, if you could call it that, is the relatively low overall win potential, coming in at just 1,925x the stake which might not convince hardcore gamers to become a knight for a session.
