What features are available in the slot of Rolling in Treasures?
The features of this slot game are Tumble, Multiplier Overlay Feature, Free Spins, Special Bets, and Feature Buy.
Tumble
The Tumble feature is activated when a win is created, and the winning symbols will be removed from the reels. New symbols will fall from above and allow new winning combinations; this will continue as long as new winning combinations are created.
Multiplier Overlay Feature
When winning symbols explode and are removed from the reels during a Tumble in the Base Game, their reel positions can get an overlay multiplier of 2X for the following tumble. The overlay multiplier increases by +1X for each subsequent Tumble. The multipliers of winning symbols are added together and applied to the win of each winning combination they are part of. The multiplier values are reset at the end of the spin during the Base Game.
Free Spins
This feature can be triggered by landing 4 or more Scatter Symbols anywhere on the reels during the Base Game. Depending on whether you land 4, 5, or 6 Scatter Symbols, you will be awarded 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins, respectively. You retrigger the feature by landing 3 or more Scatter Symbols, granting +5 additional Free Spins.
During the feature, after the first Tumble, new symbols appear with 2X Multipliers. For every tumble that’s triggered during the Free Spins, the multiplier of new symbols increases by +1X. For clarity, the Overlay Multipliers are persistent and will continue to increase by +1X with each Tumble until the feature ends, and apply to all wins they are part of.
Special Bets
The Special Bets can be activated at a cost on the screen’s left side. The two options are:
Ante Bet = At the extra cost of 5 times the current bet. When activated, you play the game with an RTP of 96.59%, doubling the chances of triggering Bonus Games.
Super Spin = At the extra cost of 10 times the current bet. When activated, you play the game with an RTP of 96.50% and the Multiplier Feature is guaranteed.

Final Thoughts on Rolling in Treasures
“Gold is never found on the surface; you have to dig through dirt, darkness, and doubt before you strike something that shines.” As we mentioned in the Introduction, we’ve seen the gold mining theme many times before, and this release follows the familiar design structure of an old prospector, gold carts, and shiny gold nuggets. When we started the game, it felt like we’d seen it all before, creating an underwhelming vibe. To clarify, there’s nothing wrong with the design, showing sharp details and a modern look, but it feels too repetitive for us.
So what about the gameplay? The Multiplier Overlay Feature is the game’s highlight, where winning symbol positions get a 2X Multiplier, which increases for each Tumble by +1X. We’ve seen the Tumble + Multipliers in many Pragmatic Play releases, and the Overlay Multiplier Feature reminded us of one of their most popular releases, Sugar Rush, and its Multiplier Spots. The biggest difference is that the Multiplier Spots double in value whenever they are part of a win, and here, the Overlay Multipliers increase by +1X for each Tumble. We prefer the doubling value in Sugar Rush, creating massive win potential. However, it’s possible to make some decent wins here aswell, especially during the Free Spins when the multiplier values get persistent and add together when they are part of the same win.
In conclusion, it’s evident that Pragmatic Play keeps riding the wave of success from games like Sugar Rush and the Gates of Olympus series, providing multipliers and dynamic Tumbles. This new release doesn’t reach the levels of these previous bangers, but you can still dig up some decent wins. It feels like the provider has made a minor tweak to a popular mechanic, hoping to keep our attention, but lacks innovation to reach a higher rating.
Rolling in Treasures is a slot with both a familiar theme and gameplay, where the Overlay Multiplier can cause some decent wins.
