Treasure 7x7
Pirate themed games are a very popular choice of punters playing casinos online. This admiration is helped by popular movies like the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise to keep the fascination rolling. The talented bods at IWG have put together an online speciality game to keep you on your pirate toes and help you to cash out well. With the free Treasure 7x7, you will unlock the pirate treasure as you sail away with big prizes.
As always from IWG, the design is fun and inviting to play with solid 3D graphics and decent sounds, especially the pirate growling at the start of every new game. It’s basically a match and win game, but not quite in the same sense as a match 3 or similar would play. This game has a grid with paylines to fill and a possible booty haul of 5,000 stored within those lines with treasure to unlock. Throw in a bit of nice scenery, and players are sure of a speciality game for fun with treasure falling from the coffers.
A Buccaneer’s Treasure
As you find yourself on a desert island surrounded with swaying palm trees and calming blue seas, there are two really big panels that hold the keys to a stash of pirate treasure. Hidden in the coffers of 49 bleached tiles is a 7 by 7 grid. But before you get your hands on the prize, to keep in with the best of pirate traditions, a payment needs to be made by way of a wager.
The option to play for free comes with this game, but for those looking to part with a little real cash, you won’t need a big balance to play. A small amount of 0.20 will get the game started with the prize values reflecting the wager, and the top prize of 1,000 as reward for your time. Gamblers hoping to cash out comfortably can raise the wager to 10 which loads a possible 5,000 into the paylines to win.
The smaller panel to the left has 12 wooden discs with the symbols needed facing away to hide them. Of these, 7 need to be picked so they spin around to be seen. Those players wishing to let the card do the work, can select an auto button where 7 will be randomly picked.
The Highlighted Path to Happiness
As you would expect for a pirate themed game, the symbols are thematic too and filled with numerous pillaging pirate items; a pirate hat, jolly roger flag, and gemstones, nuggets of gold and doubloons among them. When these are revealed, they will highlight any of the matching symbols on the larger grid wherever they appear.
The paylines run diagonally from corner to corner and also vertical and horizontal making 16 in total. If enough tiles are highlighted to fill one or more of the paylines, they will payout according to the value marked along the edges of the grid. If it’s a big prize, you may be left shouting ‘Shiver me timbers!’ Not a bad day’s work for a pirate if you can get it!
The Hunt Is On
With all this pirating and overflowing loot, we thought we would throw in treasure of a different kind into the mix for players to try. From one of the big names in online casino gaming, the free Tiki Treasure scratch card by Rival hasn’t a pirate in sight. Moving from the seas of the Caribbean to the islands of Polynesia, Tiki Treasure is a simple scratch card with an extremely large betting range of 0.01 to 100 that will appeal to all players.
To reveal the symbols needed to win, players can either manually scratch off the play area or go for the fast and easy option of clicking reveal with the object of matching 3 of a kind. Although the symbols are shown as multipliers of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50x the bet, the Tiki heads appear next to the values in the pay table only. Either way there is a substantial amount of treasure to be made if playing at the high stakes. Matching 3 of the x50 symbols could leave punters holding a cool 5,000.
Weigh Anchor and Hoist the Mizzen!
Treasure from anywhere is good news for a pirate. There is a wealth of booty out there to find in an online casino of your choice. Treasure 7x7 has all the promise of a good days plundering, but the return to player percentage is edging on the low side at 89.40%. The gameplay is relatively easy to secure a win and we found that there is enough to look at, to keep playing.
For those players that prefer to know in detail what they are playing for, there is a comprehensive list in the pay table as this game has no hidden agenda’s from a name you can trust. It’s good clean fun that will have you slowly turning pirate and repeating the phrase ‘Arghhhh!’ in no time at all. Arghhhh!
