Treasure Bowl

Treasure Bowl review

Treasure Bowl is one of JDB Gaming's most compact slots: the base game shows just three symbols in a row, and they pay on a single fixed line. JDB lists the game with a 96.47% RTP, low volatility and a top prize of 1,800x the bet, and now presents it as Treasure Bowl X-Huge™ with remastered art and a vertical layout. The theme is classic Chinese fortune, with gold ingots, coins and lucky charms around a bowl of treasure. Most of the excitement sits in the bonus, where the game switches to a 3x3 grid and then to a giant-symbol stage. The free demo on this page lets you see how often that happens before you play for real money.

Features & bonus round

• Provider: JDB Gaming
• Release: 2019 (according to JDB)
• RTP: 96.47%
• Volatility: low

• Base game: three matching symbols on the payline pay the amount shown in the paytable. The Wild substitutes for the other symbols and also works as the scatter.
• Free Game: three Wilds start the bonus. The game switches to a 3x3 grid, and the symbols that land there stay in place until the round is over.
• X-Huge™ stage: the bonus can then move on to one special spin in which a single giant symbol fills the reel and pays from its own paytable. JDB calls this the X-Huge™ Giant Symbol, and the 1,800x top prize sits in this stage.
• Feature Buy: for 75x the bet you go straight into the bonus with the three Wilds already connected.
• Extrabet: an optional higher stake, about 20% on top of the bet, that increases the chance of triggering the Free Game.
• JDB's own page shows a 96.47% RTP; some game databases round the same game to 96%.

Treasure Bowl suits players who want a very simple, low-volatility game and don't mind that most of the value is in the bonus. With one line and three symbols, base game wins are small and quick, while the 1,800x prize needs the X-Huge™ stage to land well. Try the demo first and set a budget before playing for real money.
