Cursed Treasure is a new slot developed by NetEnt. It follows the pursuits of three explorers on a journey to unearth cursed treasure. It’s an excellent slot with superb graphics set in an ancient temple deep within a jungle. Set your stall and join the explorers on a mission to discover the top prize of 5.064x.

About Cursed Treasure

The slot is played on 5 reels with 20 paylines where you can place bets from as little as 2p up to £80 per spin. Surprisingly, it’s a low-medium volatility model with an RTP of 95.99%, so a good balance between risk and reward. To help get to the top prize of 5,064x, there’s the Wild, Cash Symbols, Cursed Treasure feature and the Free Spins.

Set in a densely populated jungle, a temple of some kind sits in the background, reminiscent of years gone by. Judging by the graphics, you would be forgiven for thinking you are in an Indiana Jones movie; however, it harks back to times gone by and the secrets and buried treasure that lie within.

The lower-paying symbols on the reels are the card suits. Five-of-a-kind pays 1x. The higher-paying symbols are a book, a treasure map, and the three explorers. Five-of-a-kind rewards 2x to 8x the bet. The wild substitutes for all symbols except the scatter or cursed treasure symbol.

Gameplay and Features

The wilds can appear on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. They are substitutes, and when they do, they form the highest-winning combo on a payline.

Cash prize symbols worth 0.5x to 20x are visible throughout the game. You are awarded their values if three land from left to right on a payline.

If Cursed Treasure symbols land, they are collected in a glowing cauldron to the right of the reel set. You start at 5 and each Cursed Treasure symbol collected adds 1.

Collecting 1 or more Cursed Treasure symbols can activate the feature, or if you collect 20 in the cauldron. Once triggered, Cash Prize symbols appear on the reels. The number of Cash Prize symbols added equals the number of Cursed Treasure symbols that triggered the feature.

If 3 or more Scatters land on a spin, the free spins feature triggers, awarding 3 free spins. Every position on the grid spins independently during the free spins. Only Cash Prize, Mystery Cash Prize, and Cursed Treasure symbols are present during the free spins. Each time one of these symbols lands, the free spins reset to 3. Mystery Prize symbols appear during the free spins; these are worth 50x to 5,000x the bet. You won’t know what prize you get until the free spins end.

Once all the free spins are used, the Cursed Treasure collection adds Cash Prize symbols to the reels. The number of Cash Prize symbols added is equal to the number collected. Once the Cash Prizes are placed, the prizes from the Mystery Cash Prizes are revealed.

Conclusion

Cursed Treasure is an excellent example of NetEnt’s ability to create stunning slots with immersive stories and excellent features. The features and the 5.064x top prize are achievable thanks to lower volatility. It’s clear from the visuals NetEnt developed the slot, which is a nice reminder of the quality of its offerings but also strikes the perfect balance between entertainment value and the potential for decent wins.
