A brand new online slot from Quickspin is always welcome and Treasure Island is as good as it gets when it comes to bombarding us with bonus features and top quality graphics.  Of course it’s based on the 1883 novel of the same name by Robert Louis Stevenson which tells the story of piracy and Pacific island battles.

Treasure Island features five reels, four rows and forty paylines and it brings a cartoonish feel to the story; the background is of a tropical island and blue skies and the music is suitably piratical and appropriately nautical.

The main symbols are various characters from the story and we imagine they include Jim Hawkins, Ben Gunn and Long John Silver.  The lower value symbols are playing card icons with the background of a treasure map.

Bonus symbols include a treasure chest wild, a floating TNT barrel wild and a compass bonus which triggers the main feature.

Bonus Features

Pirate Attack Wild

This seems to be a regularly occurring bonus and all you need to do is land two of the barrel wild symbols anywhere on the reels.  The reels will now become invisible apart from those wilds and you’ll see a pirate ship in the background.

The ship will fire cannonballs at the reels, turning each symbol it hits into a wild.  Hitting a wild already present will explode that symbol in several others.  The reels will then spin again for a healthy win.

Treasure Island Bonus

The compass symbols are the key to this feature and you need to land three anywhere on reels one, three and five to trigger it.  Now pick one of the compasses and it will reveal one of the following bonuses:

• Free Spins – first you need to play the Island Hop game to determine the number of spins, instant wins or extra wilds; when you select the ‘Start Free Spins’ island the picks end and the spins begin.
• Treasure Hunt – you will be taken to a desert island and have two picks to select from five X marks.  Each X will reveal a reward apart from one which will offer you a choice of three treasure chests for an extra big win.
• Instant Win – does what it says on the tin!

Treasure Island Online Slot Playing Tips

You can’t alter the number of paylines so there’s not much to offer there; everything else is also potluck so all you can do is change your stake from €0.50 to €200.00.  Keep the music on for the full pirate effect.

Verdict

Treasure Island looks great and plays similarly well; the sounds and the number of bonus features make it one of our current favourites and it’s fair to say we made a tidy profit from our time spent playing it.  We should also mention it has one of the highest Theoretical Returns To Player we’ve ever seen at 97.07%.
