Templar Treasures Slot ᐈ Demo game + Review

Templar Treasures slot review

Templar Treasures is Slotmills first game and is from a feature perspective a derivative of the hugely successful slot game Book of Ra. The game has 5 reels, 10 fixed paylines and is based on a Knights Templar theme set in a medieval castle. Graphics and animations are of excellent quality as are the sounds which creates a great player experience.

RTP has been set at 96.5% and the maximum win is 7,000 times bet or 350,000 Euro at maxbet. The free spins bonus feature is triggered by the scatter book symbol where three books award 8 Free Spins, four books 12 Free Spins and five books 15. Free spins can be re-triggered an unlimited number of times.  

Sotmill has eliminated the concept of ”coins” and the bet is placed in the casino currency thereby removing uncertainty regarding how much you bet, win or what the different symbols pay when looking at the payable. 15 bet settings are available, default 0,1 - 50 Euro per spin. 

Templar Treasures has been optimized for mobile and the user interface is minimalistic yet easy to use. The game is well polished where transitions e.g. sounds, different states and setting panels are smooth and well timed.

 Built into the game is a function called “BURST” which in effect is a hard core autoplay version where the reels are stripped away resulting in a faster and more focused gameplay.

Templar Treasures RTP, variance & technical data:

• RTP: 96.5 %
• Volatility/Variance: 65 (High)
• Layout: 5×3
• Paylines: 10 (fixed)
• Bonus features: Free Spins with Expanding Magic Symbols and Wilds
• Bonus frequency; 1 in 165 spins
• Bets: 0.1 to 50
• Max win: 7,000 times bet

 The 96.5% RTP combined with the maximum win of 7,000 times bet or 350,000 Euro at max bet makes this game exciting and fun to play. The bonus frequency, i.e. how often the bonus game in theory is triggered, is 1 in 165 spins which compared to similar games makes Templar Treasures attractive. The game feels well balanced, but volatility is high and big wins can go far between.

Templar Treasures Review

The Knights Templar theme feels fresh and holds an inherent mystique which is supported by the game graphics and the background image in particular. Symbol separation is high and there are 10 symbols in total. The key symbol to chase is the Templar book which is both scatter and wild. It is easy to spot on the reels and near wins are well presented giving a maximum of suspense and excitement.

Three or more book symbols anywhere on the reels award both a cash price and triggers 8, 12 and 15 free spins which can be re-triggered. At the start of the free spins one symbol is randomly selected as magic symbol. After payout of normal betline wins the magic symbol expands to cover the entire reel if additional wins can be completed. The selected magic symbol pays as per the paytable but also for non-adjacent symbol combinations.

The game is been designed for an optimum experience on mobile devices with minimalistic and easy settings making maximum use of the screen for the gameplay. However, playing the game on a desktop is equally good and there are now drawbacks with the design approach. The location of the spin button varies with type of device and we found that it always is located ergonomically. You also have left- and right-hand mode which relocates buttons accordingly. Win presentation is clear and supported by both coin rain and big win presentations.

SlotCatalog verdict

Templar Treasures is feature-wise derived from the famous Novomatic slot Book of Ra but given a fresh theme with stunning graphics and animations and Slotmill has increased the RTP and max win which makes the it fun to play even if it is a volatile game. We believe that Templar Treasures will appeal to many players - not just high-rollers.

Pros

• High RTP max winnings

Cons

• High wins can be far between
