Lost Ruins Treasure Introduction
You can almost hear the theme music in your head when you hit Multislots Lost Ruins Treasure, which is just one of the free online pokies you can play at Online Pokies 4U. When you see the familiar fedora spin up on the reels, you know you’re in Indiana Jones territory. That rugged, square-jawed explorer in the top left of your screen couldn’t make it any plainer, and the range of Aztec symbols and jungle perils are straight out of a classic adventure.
The stakes are high
There is a wide range of coin sizes to stake, from 0.05 to a maximum 2.0, which means your max bet for each spin of this 5-reel, 25-payline game is a very healthy 50 credits. That should satisfy the high rollers among you, although every style of play is catered for in Lost Ruins Treasure. In our trial spins, we were hitting small payouts on a regular basis, although the high-paying symbols can be harder to land.
The call of the jungle
There’s no soundtrack to this game - just a rather eerie ambient background noise like distant thunder. Symbols animate and have their own sound effects. Everything is rendered in classic style 2D but is nicely done in an old movie poster style. Every element combines to produce an immersive and very playable pokie adventure.
Aztec treasures
The paytable for Lost Ruins Treasure is good, without offering any massive wins in base gameplay. Here are the paytable wins when you hit a full house. This pokie pays out in multipliers, so the more you bet, the greater the potential rewards: Scorpion: 100x Aztec Idol: 150x Temple, Skull: 200x Scarab: 300x Hat: 400x Jaguar: 500x Sword: 1,000x The highest-paying symbol is the Flaming Torch, which carries a maximum 5,000x multiplier.
It’s also the wild symbol in the game, substituting for all other symbols except the scatter and the bonus to create the maximum number of winning combinations.
Find your way to free spins
The Compass is the scatter, triggering the free spins bonus. Three will earn you 5 free spins, 4 will earn you 10, and a full house will net you 15 free spins. These also carry a multiplier of 3x, 4x or 5x. A cheeky little theme tune plays during the free spins round that manages to sound an awful lot like a certain iconic movie theme…
Open the vault
Spin 3 or more Bonus symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4, and you’ll open the magic vault bonus game. The multiplier win locked inside can go as high as 200x, so be careful how you play. When you leave the vault, you’ll have the opportunity to gamble your winnings on the spin of a wheel, but this is strictly double or quits so play wisely!
Our verdict
This is a really fun game, from the symbols, sounds and animations to the gameplay bonuses. Although the base gameplay rewards can be low, there are plenty of them. Pull on your fedora, crack that whip and spin to win!
