Play Treasure Bowl for Free

Standard playing card symbols with an Oriental style will make up the lower-value winning combinations, with the 9, 10, J, Q, K and A symbols all worth 5, 10, or 50 coins when landing on 3, 4, or 5 reels.

The 3 lucky coins are valued at 10, 20, or 100x, while the golden fish, dragon and lion statues pay out maximum prizes of 200, 300, or 500 coins respectively. The top prizes are won when the Buddha statue is seen on 3 or more reels, with 100, 250, or 1500 coins returned to any punters who land this symbol of good fortune.

A pink diamond-shaped symbol with gold Chinese writing is wild, so it’s able to act as any other, completing lines of matching symbols if it’s able to bridge gaps in the run, or extending lines further across to the right side for higher prizes. It doesn’t carry any value of its own though and can’t act as the scatter symbol.

A delicate pink rose is the attractive scatter symbol here, and when it’s seen on 3, 4, or 5 reels from the right side at once an instant prize of 5x, 10x, or 15x the total bet is awarded. This is followed by 8 free spins and while that may not sound like much, this is a very special free spins round which should see some great payouts.

To start with, the only symbols on the reels are the higher value statues and lucky coins, along with the scatter rose and the bright blue, gold-filled Treasure Bowl that gives this slot machine its name. By having fewer symbols in play it should be easier to land winning lines and of course, those wins are going to be some of the higher-paying ones.

It gets even better though, as the treasure Bowl becomes a wild symbol that acts as all but the scatter when it appears on the middle reel and should it complete a winning line, the base value of the prize is multiplied by 5x. This can equal the jackpot payout of 1800x the triggering stake when the perfect combination of symbols and the Treasure Bowl appear. The free games can be retriggered over and over if more scatters appear, to a potential maximum of 100 extra games.

In Asian culture the number 8 is a sign of good luck and it’s surely no coincidence that CQ9 Gaming have made the minimum stake 0.88 per spin. This can be raised to the maximum limit of 440.00 each go and with higher stakes comes the chance of higher rewards.

A pleasing melodic tune plays along as the reels spin, with the mechanical-effect sounds of the game audible in the background, although the bells and whistles that are heard when you get a win can drown the tune out. It can of course be muted, but unlike the soundtracks that accompany many slot machines, we quite liked it.

There’s also the Autoplay button which gives you the choice of having the reels spin on their own until you click to stop them, plus a turbo mode which simply speeds the gameplay up. If you’re happy to spend time spinning reels with no way of actually winning anything, then CQ9 Gaming have a free Treasure Bowl video slots version to try out.

We’ve seen what a Fortune Bowl looks like, so how about diving into the realm of a Fortune Fish, which is a 5-reel, 25-line game from Casino Technology. Richly decorated vases, bowls, dragons and golden coins create the top wins and the fish symbol is wild. A Chinese palace is a high-value scatter symbol and punters can choose to enter a gamble round, doubling any win by correctly guessing if a playing card will be from a red or black suit.

The Lucky Coin video slot from Amatic is another themed slot that’s filled with golden symbols such as dragons, and jade symbols of fish which land the higher prizes. A beautiful Geisha Girl is the wild symbol and the coins will take you to 15 free spins during which all winnings will be tripled in value. This slot also has a gamble feature that works in a similar way to that seen in Fortune Fish, but like all of these rounds, a wrong guess will end the feature and you’ll lose the triggering prize, so be careful.

The 243 Ways to Win format of Treasure Bowl should make it pretty easy to land symbols across the reels for a win, although the flip side of this is the comparatively small payouts, as casinos can’t really reward players with more money than they put in. But there’s still some decent prizes to collect with the higher value statues and of course it come with nice bonus features that can see bankrolls filling up.

Wild substitutions are fairly standard across many games, so it’s during the free spins that punters will reap some of the best rewards. Having just the high-paying symbols on the reels alongside the scatter rose and that win-multiplying Treasure Bowl should ensure some nice prizes are claimed before the bonus feature ends.

CQ9 Gaming have made it available to play on all platforms, so whether you like to enjoy slots on a PC, or on Android, Windows, or iPhone and iPads, there’s treasures awaiting in this attractive, mobile compatible game.
