Chests of Gold Power Combo

Chests of Gold Power Combo: Slot Overview

Games Global partner All41 Studios continues its romp through the fantasy genre with a follow-up to Kings of Crystals titled Chests of Gold Power Combo. Follow-up might not be the right word in this instance, as Chests of Gold Power Combo is closer to a reskin than a sequel since just about everything to do with stats and gameplay is the same as before. What's changed is players are now invited to frolic through the trees, bow and arrow in hand, like a Robin Hood figure, while attempting to land chests which lead to the game's three main features. These are free spins with nudging wilds, free spins with a line win multiplier, free spins with a jackpot collection, or combinations of each.

While the artwork has changed since Kings of Crystals, the game has a similar quality about it as before. What we mean is a mystical, fantasy background, and so on, while the reels are populated with fairly realistically rendered characters. Despite there being zero mention of Robin Hood or his merry men, that's the sort of vibe Chests of Gold Power Combo gives off. A peaceful meandering through the woods, accompanied by twittering birds and a beating drum when the reels are stationary, then ramping up the tension when the game is in motion, climaxing in a shift to a castle for the bonus rounds.

When picking your weapon, don't forget to pick a stake where the bet levels are 20 p/c to $/€20 per spin. It might pay to check the RTP value as well, as the game is available in four configurations from a high of 96.4% down to 86.7%, depending on the market, though volatility remains high for all of them. At the default size, Chests of Gold Power Combo's game grid has 5 reels, 4 rows and is crossed by 40 fixed paylines, though the grid does expand when the nudging wild feature is triggered.

Winning combinations of up to five-of-a-kind are possible along a payline made up of one of the 11 different pay symbol types. On the less valuable side are 9-A card icons, all worth 0.75 times the bet for a line of five, whereas the upper-value group are a quiver of arrows, a bag of coins, a male character who could be the baddie, a lady, and a Robin Hood type. A five-of-a-kind premium win awards 2.5 to 5 times the bet. Appearing on reels 2, 3, and 4 is the target wild symbol, capable of substituting for any symbol except scatters or coin symbols.

Chests of Gold Power Combo: Slot Features

Chests are the scatter symbols, and they come in three types, red, blue, and green. Each is connected to a specific feature. When a chest hits, a coin zooms from it to a collection point next to the reels. When a coin is collected, there is a chance its feature is triggered. It is possible to trigger more than one bonus type at once or upgrade a bonus round that is currently in play when different scatters hit.

Free Spins with Nudging Wilds

The red chest scatter can trigger 5 free spins that are played on a game grid 7 rows high with 100 paylines. When at least one wild lands, the reel nudges to fill the entire reel with wild symbols. Landing a red chest triggers additional free spins.

Free Spins with Jackpot Collection

The green chest scatter can trigger 10 free spins with a jackpot collection feature. When coins hit in this round, they flip to reveal a cash prize of 1x or 10x the bet or a letter that corresponds to one of the jackpots.

• Collecting G, R, A, N, D awards the Grand Jackpot worth 10,000x the bet.
• Collecting M, A, J, O, R awards the Major Jackpot worth 500x the bet.
• Collecting M, I, N, O, R awards the Minor Jackpot worth 50x the bet.
• Collecting M, I, N, I awards the Mini Jackpot worth 25x the bet.

Free Spins with Line Multiplier

The blue chest scatter can trigger 5 free spins where each spin has a random win multiplier of x2, x3, x5, or x10. Landing blue scatters awards additional free spins.

Buy Feature

If available in your jurisdiction, the feature buy menu has seven options. It is possible to buy single features, combinations of two, or all three. Prices for single features start at 20x the bet, or buying all three features costs 110x the bet.

Chests of Gold Power Combo: Slot Verdict

The previous game, Kings of Crystals, wasn't one which made a major impression, so the thought of repeating it all over again in Chests of Gold Power Combo wasn't the most thrilling proposal. Not that it's like, the worst thing ever or anything like that, but Chests of Gold Power Combo was basically more of the same; nothing new has been added, not the slightest alteration to create a hint of suspense or wonder. The theme might be more to some players' tastes than the unusual crystal motif flowing through Kings of Crystals, though. Robin Hood is a tale which has endured for hundreds of years, so doing a similar thing might broaden Chests of Gold Power Combo's appeal.

The game's features probably won't be a make-or-break factor if tossing up whether to play this or the last one since they are the same. Perhaps the most interesting thing about them is the ability to pick and mix from the feature buy menu if doing so is a possibility. From a comparatively wallet-friendly price of 20x the bet for the cheapest up to 110x when all three are active, players get plenty of options. Another positive is triggering free spins with more than one type of feature from the base game or upgrading a bonus round that is currently active. Collecting coins when scatters hit, without a meter tracking progress, or the certainty of scatters triggering a bonus round from the base game might be a little frustrating since bonus triggers are completely random.

Like its forebear, Chests of Gold Power Combo was okay to sample without being the most exciting slot to come our way. However, Robin Hood slots (Robin Nottingham Raiders or Riches of Robin being two examples), or those styled in the manner thereof, are popular, so it's not hard to envisage Chests of Gold Power Combo's pleasant mediaeval atmosphere grabbing some attention.
