Mongol Treasures - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Mongol Treasures Review - Introduction

Mongol Treasures is set amongst the rolling plains of the Mongolian interior, a place of desolate splendour where five reels reveal three Mongol themed symbols each. A Mongol horseman symbol is worth the most, and his steeds (white, black and brown horses) are valuable too.

The usual collection of playing card symbols make up the lower end of the paytable. Free spins on Mongol Treasures are particularly special because they come with an expanding symbol which can grow to cover a whole reel!

Best of all, Mongol Treasures lets you take control of your destiny with a thrilling gamble feature. This is live on every winning spin, and it gives the brave a chance to double their winnings up to 10 times by choosing a card higher than the dealer. It’s a game of chance, and it will really put your nerves to the test!

You can give these amazing features a try in demo mode at Endorphina free slots, which is a great way to get a feel for the slot.

Mongol Treasures Review - Theme, Graphics and Design

Mongol Treasures is a fairly simple slot graphically, but it excels in the area of sound. This slot has some of the best background music we’ve ever heard. The music doesn’t play by default, but if you toggle it on you’ll hear a piping tune that’s equal parts haunting and wistful and truly beautiful.

The music sets the tone splendidly. It's eerily evocative of stretching, empty Mongolian plains. Wind howls in the distance too, further enhancing this slot’s rugged, slightly desolate feel. Few soundtracks are quite this immersive, and we have to commend Endorphina for composing such evocative music.

Graphics, however, are much more basic, especially on the symbols. We did appreciate the background, though, which shows the sprawling landscape of Mongolia, complete with mountains, rivers and grasslands.

Mongol Treasures Review - Mongol Treasures RTP and Variance

Mongol Treasures' RTP of 96% is bang on average, but there were no volatility figures available when we wrote this review. Slots from Endorphina usually fall in the medium-high volatility range, however. The top win of x500,000 is hugely appealing, but players must remain realistic and remember that huge wins like that are extremely rare.

Mongol Treasures Review - Bonus Features

Free Spins

You’ll need three or more scatter symbols to trigger 10 free games. You don’t have to worry about where they land - anywhere on the reels will do!

Expanding Symbol

Free spins come with a special bonus in the form of an expanding symbol. At the start of the round, a symbol will be selected at random. Any winning combination featuring that symbol will cause it to expand, covering up to three positions on the reels.

Risk Feature

After any win, players are presented with a choice between playing it safe and taking their winnings or gambling them. If you opt for the latter, you’ll need to pick one of four random cards. If you choose one that’s higher than the dealer’s, your winnings are doubled. Choose incorrectly and you forfeit them. You can do this up to 10 times (if you have nerves of steel, of course!).

Mongol Treasures Review - Our Conclusion

Mongol Treasures perfectly captures the desolate splendour of the vast Mongolian interior, complete with a highly evocative soundtrack and beautiful backdrop.

Gameplay is similarly strong, especially the free spins round. Endorphina’s decision to include a randomly selected expanding symbol really pays off and gives the spins a unique thrilling twist.

The inclusion of a risk feature means that difficult decisions await on every winning spin. It gives the slot a tactical element and allows different kinds of player (the risk-averse and the high roller) to try their luck.

Any travel slot theme is enough to give us wanderlust, and if you want to keep exploring Mongolia we think you’ll love The Falcon Huntress slot too!
