Game Overview
I’m sure the saying, “I’ve opened Pandora’s Box,” has proved an apt metaphor for most of you over the years in certain situations. For me, that box opens when I mutter another phrase, “Oh, go on then, just the one,” when coerced into a beer on a working night. The next day is full of all kinds of evils, as my head is pounding with a headache, and I have a ton of work to get through. Another time the phrase makes perfect sense is when I happily agree to take the wife on a clothes shopping trip – but that’s a story for another time. Well, you know we’re here for a slot review, and you’ve probably guessed, but this one is themed on that very box. Pandora’s Treasure from NetEnt is a 6-reel, 4-row, and 4,096 ways-to-win slot with a 96.09% and a 10,368x maximum win.
Pandora’s Box itself plays a big part in this latest NetEnt title, as it gathers up all winning symbols landing on the same spin and pays out 1x your stake for each collected. To be honest, that’s about all there is to aim for aside from a free spins bonus also featuring that box. That said, there is a buy bonus feature you can use if you like a higher-risk slot experience.
While that feature set may sound lacking on paper, it can prove quite lucrative in practice. You’ll see what I mean when you play the free Pandora’s Treasure slot demo below.
Pandora’s Treasure Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
I’m actually surprised that a quick search of ‘Pandora’ in our free play slots search bar only brought up one result. You’d have thought this famous box would have been used multiple times by all of the leading providers, but that hasn’t proved to be the case. At least the slot that did appear is good, and it’s named Pandora’s Box of Evil from Play’n Go. It is a 5-reel slot offering high variance gameplay, a 6,000x max win, and features such as mystery symbols, mystery wilds, and re-spins. It’s not spectacular, but it is a good shout if you want another slot using a similar theme, Pandora’s Treasure.
It’s time for me to explain the different symbols you’ll come across on the reels and the sort of payouts that can come your way. So, from the top, a Bowl of Fire is the most valuable symbol, and you’ll receive 8x the stake when it lands six times across adjacent reels. A Book, Hands, and a Tiara are the remaining premium symbols that return a maximum of 5x, 4x, and 3x, respectively. Dropping to the lower values, we have the Ace worth 2.5x, followed by the King with a return of 2x, and finally, the Queen, Jack, and Ten paying up to 1.5x, 1x, and 0.8x, respectively, for a winning combo of six.
When spinning the reels of Pandora’s Treasure, you can choose from 12 staking options. The minimum stake permitted is €0.10, and wagers can reach up to €20.00 per spin. That’s not the widest range of staking options, but I’m sure a perfect bet is available for most who want to try the game for real money.
Pandora’s Treasure Slot Base Game
Within the gold-encrusted playing matrix of Pandora’s Treasure slot are six reels and four rows containing 4,096 paylines. Winning combinations of at least three matching symbols must start from the first reel, moving across adjacent reels to the right.
Pandora’s Box
If a Pandora’s Box symbol appears on the reels, it will open to collect each symbol involved in a winning combination. As each is collected, they’ll increase the cash prize you’ll receive by 1x your stake. Furthermore, new symbols drop into place to replace those gathered by the box.
Pandora’s Treasure Slot Bonus Features
Pandora’s Box returns for the free spins bonus triggered when three or more scatter symbols land simultaneously on the reels. Once triggered, you’ll receive 10 free spins plus 2 extra for each additional triggering scatter symbol above the minimum 3 required.
Free Spins Feature
At the start of the spins, Pandora’s Box is placed in a random position on the reels, where it remains sticky for the duration of the bonus. As the spins play out, the box collects all winning symbols, with each increasing a cash prize payout by 1x. This pays out the value of all collected symbols once the bonus finishes. During the feature, you’ll receive 5 free spins whenever 3 scatter symbols appear on the same spin and 2 for each additional scatter that hits.
Bonus Buy
Not everybody wants to wait around for bonus games, and if you’re in that camp, you don’t have to. Instead, you can purchase the free spins for 50x your stake via the buy bonus feature.
Pros
- The usual high-quality graphics and animations from NetEnt.
Cons
- I feel like the slot needs something else to prevent players from getting bored.
Pandora's Treasure Slot Review Final Thoughts
Pandora’s Treasure is great to look at, which is nothing uncommon considering it is a NetEnt title. However, it feels lacking in terms of features. The Pandora’s Box element of the game can potentially create some decent payouts, especially during the free spins bonus, but overall, this is another miss to add to the growing pile from NetEnt.
