Microgaming are one of the top software developers when it comes to progressive jackpot slot games (and slot games in general in the eyes of many) but not everything that this provider produces is gold, and, on the surface at least Treasure Niles feels a little like one of those misses that balance out the hits.It isn’t that this is a bad slot, it’s more that Treasure Nile felt outdated before it was even released. Ancient Egypt is a theme we’ve seen used so many times by this point that any new games that utilise it have to bring something new with them, and this slot doesn’t.
About the slot
With five-reels and nine paylines, this is a good-looking slot in terms of graphics and animations, but the images are predictable and derivative, which is a shame.All symbols are on theme though, with no card faces playing the lower value symbols, which is always a nice thing.The biggest issue we have with Treasure Nile is that you must play the nine paylines at 50p each, meaning however much you want to spend, you have to play at £4.50 a spin, which isn’t perfect.
Gameplay
Treasure Nile’s gameplay is no more exciting than its look, possibly less so, being that there is no free spins round here, no multipliers, in fact very little to interest anybody.There’s a progressive jackpot, and that always adds a pleasing extra level to things, but it doesn’t trigger randomly, in fact, you need to land five King Tut symbols on the ninth payline, and if you fail to do that, there’s very little else to find that will cause any enjoyment here.It’s progressive, and that’s good, past that, there’s nothing exciting about Treasure Nile at all, a poor effort.
