Treasures of Osiris

Treasures of Osiris: Slot Overview

Osiris was one of the central gods of ancient Egypt, associated with the afterlife, fertility, agriculture, and more. As such, he is quite a popular figure in the online gambling world, and software provider Pragmatic Play has placed him at the centre of its online slot Treasures of Osiris. Hopefully, prospective gamblers' love affair with three modifier free spins games is as strong as their interest in ancient civilisations. This is because Treasures of Osiris has a free spins round that can trigger with 1, 2, or 3 active modifiers, including Money symbols and jackpots.

Treasures of Osiris is a sort of seen one, seen them all type deal when it comes to artwork. It's ever so slightly altered since there are no pyramids, but the carved pillars, river, and palm trees leave no doubt as to where we are. A golden chap stands by the grid, commandingly so, staff in hand, bulging muscles, presumably the game's version of Osiris. The bonus phase is played inside a stone tomb at a guess, with pots of coins, and coins loose about the floor. It's all very nice and all, but if you squint, it's also tough to really distinguish the visuals from a dozen or more other ancient Egypt slots.

Held on a 5x4 gaming grid, Treasures of Osiris provides 25 paylines for evaluating winning combinations. Several RTP models are available, where 96.52% is the highest theoretical return value. Highly volatile, players may stake $/€0.25 to $/€250 per spin, and two special bets are available. The ante bet doubles the stake to double the chance of triggering free spins, while the Super Spin costs 10x the bet. Super Spins are guaranteed to have highlighted positions, plus Money and Wild modifiers are active. The Jackpot modifier is disabled during Super Spins, so Jackpot symbols cannot land. Free spins cannot trigger, either.

The pay symbols are made up of 10-A, vases, scarabs, birds, and ankhs. Hitting five-of-a-kind combinations pays 2x-4x for the royals or 4.8x-10x for the high pays. Wilds substitute for all symbols except Money or Jackpot symbols, and pay 10x the stake when hitting a 5 OAK wild line.

Treasures of Osiris: Slot Features

Treasures of Osiris has three modifiers linked to symbols that may be active during its free spins bonus round, plus feature buys. These three special symbols may land on the reels:

• Jackpot - Gets collected in the Jackpot pot on top of the reels. When collected, it can randomly trigger free spins with the Jackpot modifier active.
• Money - Gets collected by the Money pot. When collected, it may trigger free spins with the Money modifier. On each spin, Money symbols get a random value of 0.2x to 100x the bet. When Money symbols hit, their values are paid.
• Wild - Gets collected by the Wild pot and can randomly trigger free spins with the Wild modifier.

Collection happens at the end of the spin, and when free spins trigger, 1, 2, or 3 modifiers are randomly activated. The following free spins round plays out with all of the modifiers it triggered.

Free Spins

Players initially win 10 free spins. During the feature, when Jackpot symbols hit, they are collected in their named associated meter. It takes four Mini, five Minor, five Maxi, six Major, and six Grand symbols to award the associated Jackpots, worth 5x, 20x, 50x, 1,000x, and 10,000x the bet, respectively. During the round, on every spin, random positions can be highlighted.

When the Jackpot modifier is active, every time one Jackpot symbol lands in a highlighted position, all other highlighted positions transform into Jackpot symbols with random names. If two Jackpot symbols land in highlighted positions, all other highlighted positions turn into Jackpots with random names twice.

When the Money modifier is active, each time one Money symbol lands in a highlighted position, all other highlighted positions transform into Money symbols. If 2 or 3 Money symbols land in highlighted positions, their values are added together, and all other highlighted positions transform into Money symbols. Their values are then added together and paid.

Landing one wild in a highlighted position transforms all other highlighted positions into wilds when the Wild modifier is active. If 2 or 3 wilds land in highlighted positions, all other highlighted positions transform to wilds, and a multiplier of x2 or x3, respectively, is applied to all line wins on that spin. Modifiers that were not active at the start of free spins may randomly trigger during the round, causing their associated symbols to be active for the rest of the feature. +5 free spins are also awarded.

Feature Buys

The free spins round can be bought from the base game. Paying 60x buys 10 free spins with 1-3 modifiers randomly active, 75x buys 10 free spins with 2 modifiers guaranteed, while 150x buys 10 free spins with all modifiers activated.

Treasures of Osiris: Slot Verdict

With its one to three modifier free spins gameplay, jackpots, and ancient Egyptian theme, Treasures of Osiris feels like Pragmatic Play making a safe bet rather than taking a creative risk. The studio is picking up pace with the three pot method, too, having released Lucky's Wild Pub and Triple Pot Gold a while back, then 3 Magic Eggs more recently. Now this. If anyone can release a lot of slots in a short space of time, it's Pragmatic Play, and if the studio has its eye set on this growing genre, then look out because we might be in for a lot more of these sorts of releases, should they prove to be fruitful for the developer.

The artwork, while pretty and all, is a safe choice, being neither drab nor out there. The same applies to the features and modifiers. Money symbols, jackpots, and wilds, yep, pretty safe. As usual in these kinds of games, free spins with one modifier might be fun, two could be better, but three is where it's at. Highlighted positions provide some uniqueness and help Treasures of Osiris stand apart from its peers. Not a paradigm shift apart, but one or two steps at least. Winning potential is attractive too at 10,000x, achievable by winning the Grand. Only achievable by winning the Grand?

Treasures of Osiris is a sturdy enough, albeit fairly conventional, example of this style of gaming, with a less common highlighted positions element that manages to boost its appeal. It feels pitched at mass consumption, so gamblers who can't get enough three-modifier action in their life and aren't interested in crazy originality but prefer dependable over experimental might be onboard.
