Just imagine... A steaming desert. Pyramid silhouettes rising in the distance. Hot sun burning your skin. And then you turn around and see a cool shade of an oasis, into which you are welcomed by all Ancient Egyptian icons. In short, that is the impression this fantastic slot leaves on those who decide to enter its magical world.

‘Boy King’s Treasure’ is one of the finest RTG’s slots I’ve ever played. It consists of five reels and 20 paylines, and it introduces us with all the characters that we associate with Egypt – King Tut, aka the Boy King, worshipped cats, Snakes, etc. Of course, there are some symbols that are not typically Egyptian, like the commonly-used poker symbols, but even those are shaped in a way to remind you of the Egyptian style. Another fabulous trait of ‘Boy King’s Treasure’ is its sounds, which only add to the slot’s authenticity.

The coin values start from $0.01, and go up to $5, and you can choose to play with one to 20 paylines. Therefore, the amount of bet you decide to play with per spin can vary from $0.20 to $100, so there’s something for all tastes. And whatever you win may be increased with a bit of help from this slot’s Wild Symbol, Scatter Symbol, multiplier, and free spins. And here’s how it all works:

Wild Symbol:

The Boy King is the Wild symbol of this catching slot. You can count on it to substitute for all other symbols, except the Scatterer. Also, all the winning combinations formed with it will be doubled, except during free spins, where it may serve as an accumulate multiplier and increase your prize by up to 16x.

Scatter Symbol and Free Spins:

Watch out for the Snakes, because they can appear anywhere on the reels and make you feel dizzy with all the free spins! Seriously, three Snakes on the reels means that you’ll sit back for a while, watch the reels spin 15 times on their own, and your balance grow higher and higher. And what’s more, the winnings will be tripled! What more can you ask from a slot? More free spins, you say? Done. This feature can be retriggered, so there’s no count to the free chances to increase your winnings.

Progressive Jackpot:

This is something you can win at the end of each spin. The Progressive Jackpot will be added to your other winnings, and it’s constantly growing, so keep an eye on those numbers which stand in the top left corner of the slot.

Additional options:

If you heat up for the game, you’ll hate being distracted all the time because you have to click on the ‘Spin’ button over and over again. Well, those days are over – now you have an Autoplay option, which you can set up as you prefer. And you can also stop it manually at any time, if you want to check out your winning combination.

This slot is not new and unfamiliar, but it is fresh. It’s not too colorful, but it’s appealing. It’s not the theme everyone likes, but I bet everyone’ll have tough time parting with ‘Boy King’s Treasure’.
