Treasures of Kilauea
Treasure Islands has a neighbor that’s just as captivating – Treasures of Kilauea , a 5-reel, 40-payline online slot game developed by R. Franco Games. This tropical-themed game whisks players away to Hawaii, where they can uncover hidden treasures and experience the thrill of gaming in a unique setting.
Gameplay Overview
The gameplay is relatively straightforward. The player’s goal is to spin the reels and match symbols to form winning combinations across paylines or win by landing specific scatter combinations. Before each spin, the player selects their bet amount from a instant play range that spans €0.40 to €20 per spin, depending on their chosen currency.
Design and Theme
The design of Treasures of Kilauea is stunningly beautiful, capturing the vibrant colors and lush landscapes found in Hawaii’s tropical regions. The game takes place against a backdrop of an active volcano, with lava flows adding an element of dynamism to the scenery. Symbols include various fruit icons – orange, lemon, plum, watermelon, blueberry, melon, grapes, and 4 special symbols: Red Chili Pepper (wild), Golden Eggplant (scatters), Hula Girl (scatter bonus symbol) and Flower.
Symbols
The game’s standard symbols are fruits commonly found in slot games. However, the presence of fruit symbols might suggest a return to the past but what sets Treasures of Kilauea apart is its use of tropical plants as special icons like melon which serves as a scatters. Fruit icons come in two shapes and colors (square/normal and heart shape with bold coloring).
The Red Chili Pepper stands out, representing both the wild icon that can replace any standard symbol to help make winning combinations when necessary. It does not itself form a combination but when part of winning lines gets removed from game by hitting win.
Payouts
Regarding payouts, it seems Treasures of Kilauea has moderate rewards compared with other slot games available today on the market as an online casino operator provides to players offering higher wins per payline – which ranges from 2 to 20 times total bet. Maximum possible payout for single-line play is 50x (€1000 on max bet).
The Red Chili Pepper wild icon does not provide additional payouts in cases when appearing alone on a line but increases chances of making multiple win combinations due to increased availability. Also, Treasures doesn’t have any multiplier with special symbols and all scatters serve for triggering bonus rounds – described below.
Wilds
We previously mentioned Red Chili Pepper symbol acts as wild that substitutes for other game icons including fruit logos at slot screen.
There is no separate wild icon used to award additional payouts if a wild appears without being part of a combination, making our choice and action easy, since choosing an active win from multiple would result in higher total payout achieved by using wild symbol while allowing one possible extra line for winnings.
Scatters
The game has 2 scatter icons. These include: Golden Eggplant (Golden) used to trigger free spins – awarded when minimum 3 scatters of this icon appear on a win-line; and Hula Girl.
In order to participate in bonus rounds player must get at least three identical or different symbols, which then allows them participation within these bonuses if they exist. Both symbols serve as triggers for their respective feature but can’t be substituted with the wild Red Pepper symbol themselves.
Bonus Features
Free Spin Bonus – This is triggered when a minimum of 3 scatter Golden Eggplants appear anywhere on active payline(s). As such, Treasures has its own in-built set bonus round (FSR) that awards at least three no-risk free spin sessions to win any available amount within that number; the game starts playing and can end by various means.
Hula Girl Bonus: When minimum of 3 Hula Girls appear on screen with wild symbols – each from a combination is considered an independent action as separate wins when they all make combinations separately.
