Columbus Treasure Introduction
Named in honour of the infamous explorer Christopher Columbus, Columbus Treasure is a pokie full of adventure and the promise of riches!
The Game
Columbus Treasure is a five-reel pokie with ten pay lines. You can choose exactly how much you bet on each spin and which pay lines you bet on, meaning that this game can easily be adapted for those looking to stake high bets or pokie newbies just starting out. As with most free pokies, the aim of the game is to spin the reels and make matches.
You must reveal two or more of the same symbols consecutively from left to right to win coins. Some symbols are worth more than others. There are two wild symbols in Columbus Treasure. One of them, fittingly, is Christopher Columbus himself, while the other is a Native American chief. Either of these symbols can be used in place of any of the other symbols apart from the scatter symbol.
This really increases your chances of making a match. In addition, every time the wild cards are used to make a match, you'll win even more coins! The scatter symbol in Columbus Treasure is the Aztec temple. If you spin and reveal three, four or five of these symbols on any of the reels (they don't have to be consecutive or from left to right), you win free spins!
There is also a gamble feature that gives you the chance to double any win. You will be asked to choose between “take win” and “gamble” every time you earn coins. Press “gamble”, and you'll be asked to guess whether the dealer's card is black, red, spade, heart, diamond or club. If you guess right, your winnings will be doubled. Keep gambling your winnings for as long as you dare!
The Look
Columbus Treasure features some nice cartoon-inspired illustrations. The background gives us the impression that we are peering through the trees up at an Aztec temple, putting us in Columbus' shoes. The symbols feature the standard playing card symbols and some fun characters. We see Christopher Columbus, a busty, water-carrying woman, a navigator, a soldier, a greedy advisor, an excitable sailor and the Aztec temple.
There are also some interesting animated extras that breathe life into the game. When you win coins, gold coins burst up towards you, celebrating your success. When the wild symbol is used to make a match, we zoom into Columbus' eye. This adds some 3D dimension to the 2D game!
