Cursed Treasure (Netent) Slot Demo & Review

On a list of the most challenging jobs in the world, you’d imagine ancient relic hunting is right up there, judging by the experiences some of our beloved slot characters have had to put up with over the years. Depending on the location of said relics, they’ve had to deal with everything from mummies, snakes, ghouls, skeletons, and demons, and that’s just for starters. Curses is another, and it is one of these our latest adventurers will have to face in NetEnt games title, Cursed Treasures, a game offering five reels, four rows, 20 fixed paylines, a 95.99% RTP, and a 5,064x max win.

Cursed Treasures has quite a list of features, starting with cash symbols offering up to 20x the stake that, when lined up three or more times across a payline, are added together and paid as a cash prize. They also play a part in the Cursed Treasure feature, which triggers randomly when a Chalice collection meter collects enough Cursed Treasure symbols. Cash symbols are thrown onto the reels, the number of which depends on how many symbols that meter has collected. Finally, there is a free spins bonus that allows you to collect and win cash symbols with values of up to 5,000x the stake before a final Cursed Treasure triggers after the final spin.

Dare you to journey with us into the Amazon searching for curse-protected treasures? No, I didn’t think so. Well, at least join us in spinning away on the Cursed Treasure demo slot. It’s free to play below.

Cursed Treasure Slot Paytable

Let’s face it; there are tons of these adventure-themed slots that centre around intrepid explorers risking it all for some shiny artefact in a far-flung destination, with dozens of these available to play here at our free casino. I mean, you only have to look at Play n Go casino games and their leading man Rich Wilde, or browse our Pragmatic Play demo page and adventure with John Hunter, and, of course, there’s the legendary Gonzo from today’s developer, NetEnt. I’m sure I’ve also missed a few, but you get the gist. Personally, I blame two people for this trend: Harrison Ford and, to a lesser extent, Angelina Jolie – if you’re not sure why, Google is your best friend.

The Cursed Treasure slot doesn’t give off any clues as to the names of the three explorers taking centre stage on this adventure, so unfortunately, while going through the paytable, I’ll have to label them as I see them. For example, the top-paying symbol is the Man with an Eye Patch, and he returns 8x the stake for a five-symbol combination, while the Woman Explorer is worth 6x for a same-sized combo. The third and final main character is the Bearded Guy, who pays 5x when five lands across a payline. The remaining two premium symbols in the game are the Book and Map, which share a return of 2x the stake for a completed line of five. The Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten are the low pays in Cursed Treasure and share a 1x max return for a winning combo of five. While they’ll not give a payout for their combinations, Wild Symbols can land on reels two, three, four, and five and will substitute for all symbols except the special bonus symbols.

The minimum bet to begin playing Cursed Treasure is €0.20 a spin, with the maximum stake supported at €80.00. There are more than enough options between these two amounts for players to find an entry point they are comfortable playing at.

NetEnt has gone with a 5×4 reel configuration offering 20 fixed paylines on the Cursed Treasure slot. Creating wins is straightforward, as all you’ll need is three or more of the same type of symbol to land across a payline starting from the first reel.


Cash Prize Symbols

Aside from the regular symbols granting payline wins, Cash Prize symbols will also give rewards when lined up across paylines. Each symbol can hold a random multiplier of between 0.5x and 20x your stake, and when three or more form a winning combination, you’ll receive a cash reward equal to their cash sums added together.


Cursed Treasure

There are two ways to trigger the Cursed Treasure. The first can happen randomly whenever a Cursed Treasure symbol lands on the reels. The second is through a collection feature situated to the right of the reels. The collection meter starts at five and increases by one every time it collects a Cursed Treasure symbol. You’ll trigger the feature once the meter reaches 20.

Whenever the Cursed Treasure feature kicks into action, cash symbols equal to the number of the collection meter are added to the reels. If the meter had less than 20 symbols when triggered, the cash prize symbols can only hold values of between 0.5x and 5x; however, if it has 20 or more, those multipliers of the stake can be as high as 20x.


Cursed Treasure Slot Bonus Features

Cursed Treasure Slot Free Spins Feature

The ultimate goal, as always, is to trigger the main bonus round. On Cursed Treasure, that is labelled a free spins feature but is really a Hold & Win bonus. It triggers when three or more scatter symbols land anywhere in view following a spin.


Free Spins Feature

The bonus game takes place on a new set of reels that can reveal blanks or three symbols:

  • Cash Symbols: With a value of between 0.5x and 10x the bet.
  • Mystery Cash Symbols: With a value of between 50x and 5,000x the bet.
  • Cursed Treasure Symbols: Collected in the meter to the right of the reels.

You start with three respins, which reset back to three anytime one of the above symbols lands. Both Cash symbols will remain locked on the reels, and the Cursed Treasure Symbols will be scooped up by the collection meter. The feature continues until you run out of respins or fill all positions with Cash Symbols. When the Respin counter hits zero, the Cursed Treasure Feature triggers, sending Cash Symbols to the reels equal to the number collected in the meter. Once the feature finishes, you receive the values of all Cash Symbols on the reels.


Bonus Buy

Not all regions allow bonus buy features, but in those that do, Cursed Treasure lets you purchase the free spins bonus for 100x your current stake.


Pros

  • The free spins bonus can potentially conjure up some magical wins.

Cons

  • Not NetEnt’s most imaginative slot release of recent years.

Cursed Treasure Slot Review Final Thoughts

With so many slots in this theme, deciding which one you should play can be difficult. Cursed Adventure doesn't offer anything different from what's already out there, so it's more about personal preference concerning design and style when picking which one to play. Personally, I wasn’t convinced by Cursed Treasure aside from its production qualities, but I can understand why players who prefer low variance slots will enjoy it.
