Tarot Treasures

Tarot Treasures: Slot Overview

Some may perceive tarot cards as sacred tools, or gateways to intuition, meditation, or divine insight that should not be 'played' around with. Others, bah, chuck 'em in an online slot and let's make a game of it. Leaning towards the latter group is software provider Push Gaming, which has designed the magically minded Tarot Treasures, a cascading wins slot which makes use of the studio's Hot Zones feature, as seen in Fire Pig Push Ways and Big Bite Push Ways. This plays out alongside card-linked features that activate after certain wins occur, in both the base and bonus game.

While things like tarot cards, mysticism, and magic might be serious topics, Tarot Treasures' use of them takes a more light-hearted approach. With its Fat Drac feel, players who take on Tarot Treasures are pulled into a purple-hued night world of big full moon, gnarly leaf-less trees, and glowing lit house. We're somewhere deep in the middle of nowhere for this one, a spot ripe for tinkering with things best left alone, where no one can hear the screams for help or mercy. Sorry, that was out of place heavy, since Tarot Treasures approaches the subject matter from a playful, cartoon angle, where a top-hatted owl is our guide, in a skull, potion, and flaming cauldron world.

To delve into tarot cards, or Push Gaming's use of them at least, players must pick a bet that suits them from a $/€0.10 to $/€100 range. Activating the Push Bet doubles the stake to increase the chance of triggering the free spins feature. On the stats side, Tarot Treasures produces an RTP of 96.39% (with two lower versions available) and runs on a medium volatile math model. It's played on a 6x4, 4,096 ways to win matrix, which removes winning symbols and refills the grid with a cascading wins system, repeating until no new wins appear, and which is also directly linked to many of the features.

Tarot Treasures possesses 10 regular paying symbols. They are 4 gems, 3 potion bottles, a skull, a doll, and an owl. Hitting a win of 6 matching gems pays 0.4x, potions pay 1x-1.5x, while the premiums are worth 2.5x to 20x the bet for a 6 OAK hit. Helping make combinations, the wild W symbol lands on all reels except the leftmost reel. It substitutes for any symbol except the scatter.

Tarot Treasures: Slot Features

Further extras in Tarot Treasures are its Cascade Features, Hot Zones, free spins, and bonus buy.

Cascade Feature

The Cascade feature triggers in the base game when 3 cascades occur in a row. After three spaces on the Cascade Bar are filled, a selection of cards appears, and one is drawn to award.

• Extra Wilds - 3, 5, 7, or 10 wilds are added to random reel positions.
• Extra Hot Zones - stacks of 2, 3, or 4 Hot Zones are added to the grid from left to right, holding their position for the next spin.
• Win Multiplier - a win multiplier of x3, x5, x10, or x25 applies to the total win from the last cascade sequence.
• Free Spins Trigger - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters can be awarded to enhance or trigger free spins.

Hot Zones

Hot Zones may land anywhere in the top two rows. Any symbols that land in a Hot Zone are split into two, increasing the number of ways to win. On each spin, Hot Zones always appear in stacks of four and move down one position. When split symbols fall out of a Hot Zone, they remain split.

Free Spins

Scatters are present on all reels and can land within Hot Zones. Landing 3 scatters awards 8 free spins, plus 1 extra spin for each additional scatter up to a maximum of 17. During free spins, Hot Zone stacks initially appear on reels 2 and 5. Spaces on the Cascade bar are filled when a win occurs, and when all 5 spaces are filled, cards appear and one is drawn to award:

• Extra Wilds - 5 to 20 wilds are added to random reel positions.
• Extra Hot Zones - stacks of 2 to 6 Hot Zones are added to the grid, holding their position for the next spin.
• Win Multiplier - a win multiplier of x3 to x100 applies to the current free spins cumulative win.
• Free Spins Trigger - 1 to 6 scatters may be awarded. Up to 12 scatters can result if combined with Hot Zones. Each scatter awards a free spin.

Feature Buy

By paying 70x the bet, players can trigger the free spins bonus round with a random number of scatter symbols.

Tarot Treasures: Slot Verdict

Following a restructuring of its portfolio in September 2025, Push Gaming now pushes its content into two categories, as well as a third sub-brand focusing on classic slots, fruit slots, retro, and the like. While Push Originals is where we can expect to find the studio's flagship releases, its volatile, more complex, bigger winning potential games, Push Actions is where the developer groups titles better suited to casual gamblers; 3 Magic Pots' style of lighter gaming, for instance. This being the case, it's fairly easy to slide Tarot Treasures into the Push Actions range, due to its 'gentler' volatility, and continuation of the Pushways line.

That's not to say Tarot Treasures is an easy-going, easy-win slot which deals a lucrative hand of cards each time, of course. Just that old school Push Gaming fans, or gamblers who prefer the studio's mightier machines, might not get the kick they crave from Tarot Treasures. It does have tricks up its sleeve, and triggering features when hitting the required number of wins helps keep players on their toes. The effects that cards are able to lob at the reels can be useful, more so when getting the higher end of what they're capable of. Hot Zones mesh well with cascades, as well, and when they're firing, it is possible to have up to 262,144 ways to win in play. That's a lot, and a little bit overkill considering the still respectable, but could have been more given those numbers, max win figure of 5,400x the bet.

So while Tarot Treasures doesn't pack the punch of a Push Gaming heavyweight, it's unlikely it was ever intended to do so, and fits snugly within the Push Action side of the studio's output. With its easy-going atmosphere, compelling cascade-triggered features, and overall polish, it's not difficult to see Tarot Treasures dealing a fun set of cards to the right player.
