Octopus Treasure slot review (Play’n GO)

Octopus Treasure by Play’n GO is an adventurous, aquatic slotfest where you seek your fortune in the hidden treasure chests

The Octopus Treasure slot is set at the bottom of the dark, cold ocean, where a giant Octopus helps you open treasure chests. 

Play’n GO is, without a doubt, one of the better slot providers in recent years. However, they do have their core specialties. 

Their strength lies more in grid slots, hard rock slots and Book of Ra-like slots (Book of Dead or Cat Wilde and the Doom of Dead).  

With its classic 5×3 set-up, this slot doesn’t belong to one of these categories, and you’ll (unfortunately) notice it.  

The maximum win at Octopus Treasure is 5,000x the bet

And that’s a bit the default of Play’n GO slots in recent years.

Octopus Treasure – Gameplay and Features

It’s a slot with 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols and 20 fixed paylines. 

The four high–paying symbols are the Pots, a Vase, a Bag of Coins and a Golden Crown. These are typical attributes you’d find in an abandoned and sunken pirate ship.  

The lower–paying symbols are the card suits (clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades). 

You also have Wild Symbols, and these replace all symbols except Scatters (Shells with a Pearl) and Keys.   

Four attractive boosters – when you open the treasure chest

When you spin a Key on the middle reel, the Octopus wakes up. He grabs the key, with his gigantic tentacles and opens a treasure chest.  

It gets you either 1 if the 4 following boosters:  

• Wild Coins: Generates extra wild symbols. 
• Gold Pile: Random symbols get an upgrade.
• Treasure Grab: Yields cash prizes. 
• Wild Reels: gets you one or more stacked wilds. 

In the end, your win is multiplied with x2, x3, x5 or even x10. 

Groovy!  

The free spins – it’s all about the final multiplier

When you get 3 scatters, the Key Respins feature activates, which allows you to win 5 to 10 free spins.   

If you manage to spin another Key on the middle reel during the free spins, you get an extra free spin. There is no limit to the number of additional free spins.  

The free spins have almost the same gameplay as the main game, with one “key” difference. Now, the boosters are active for each free spin.  

The most critical moment is at the end when out find what the multiplier is (no multiplier, x2, x3, x5 or x10).

It matters! For example, a win of 40x becomes a win of 400x, if you have the x10 multiplier!  

Payout percentage (RTP)

Octopus Treasure’s RTP is 96.53%, and there are no reasons to complain at all! Unfortunately, there are online casinos out there that offer the same slot at significantly lower RTP’s. So, watch out! 

Octopus Treasure slot – the variance is high 

Play’n GO gives a score of 5 out of 10 for the variance. The variance is, therefore, at most medium. 

The top wins are around 250x to 500x the bet. If you spin a million times, you’ll perhaps get a couple of wins topping 1,000x.  

Other Play’n GO slots with similar volatility are Riddle Reels: a Case of Riches and Rally 4 Riches.   

Pros and cons

Advantages:  

• Stunning features and animations.
• The gameplay is fine.
• Not too risky. 

 Disadvantages:  

• It all takes a very long time. The free spins can last up to 5 minutes, even if the win is an average of 50x or 100x.  
• You won’t become rich, as the slot lacks volatility.

So, who’ll like the slot? And who won’t?

If you like cheerful and adventurous themes and want to keep the risks limited, this slot is perfect. I’m talking about players who prefer to play for an hour with a couple of tenners.  

Impatient players need to stay away here. As well as players hunting for the massive wins, you won’t find them on this slot.
