Treasure Island, now that’s a book I could get into. Having said that there’s been a few great films, an epic TV series and a slew of video slots which I could say the same thing about. Here’s one more to add to the pile with thanks to Visionary iGaming and it promises to quite literally push the boat out with an impressive $62,500 maximum jackpot.

Treasure Island Theme

Why are pirates so obsessed with treasure? Because they ahhhr! Yep, that's a terrible joke but we think it's fairly accurate based upon the treasure map mounted behind the reels on this slot. You can even see an X marks the spot in the top right side of the screen (it’s not a military cross as some have suggested) which holds the key to one of the bonus games (more on that later).

Blackbeard, the famed pirate, appears as a reel icon alongside various pirate plunder and paraphernalia. These items include rubies, blue jewels, anchors, Jolly Roger symbols, doubloons and parrots.

Betting Options and More functions

Each silver coin will increase the progressive jackpot; the more you find, the larger it grows. If you find the jackpot coin you will have a chance to spin the jackpot wheel which gives you the chance to win the reel jackpot (check out the counter at the top of the slot).

As with other ViG powered slots you can use auto spins, quickly mute sounds and even control spin speed using the buttons located in the footer.

Treasure Island Slot Features

Captain Black Beard takes on a key role as the slots wild symbol. This allows him to take the place of other icons if a winning combination is possible. His symbol is wild on all but the first reel and can substitute for all but the sword icon. If this weren’t impressive enough his icon also doubles any win it helps create. Now that’s captaining for you!

It’s a well known fact that you aren’t a proper pirate unless you own a parrot (or more likely have stolen one). Two, three, four or five squawking parrots on this slot will pay 2, 5, 20 or 100 times your bet respectively when they show up on screen.

Pirates didn’t have mobiles, Flickr or Four Square to document their treasure; they had maps. You’ll get your chance to dig for virtual gold once five map icons have been collected during spins. You’ll be asked to dig where X marks the spot and could receive up to 20 times your bet.

Three or more canons will trigger a second pick and win style game when they appear on adjacent reels. You’ll get the chance to take out rival pirates in an explosive barrage of canon fire for cash rewards. Three, four or five triggering icons will award 1, 2 or 3 shots respectively so choose your targets wisely.

Our Take on Treasure Island
