Treasure Hunter Advantage Play Strategy

In Treasure Hunter, players collect pearls underneath the four jackpots displayed above the reels (major, maxi, minor and mini). Once three pearls are collected, the corresponding jackpot is awarded.

• This is a high variance game that you are likely to lose money on the majority of times you play. But the positive equity is there if you log enough sessions. If you trigger the mini first, you aren’t likely to come out ahead, especially if it is slow to hit. But the times you hit the maxi first will put you ahead over the long term. Hitting the occasional high-paying free games has a big impact on the overall return and should be factored in as well.

• I’ve heard from some APs that this game is rigged to make the first two pearls easy to collect and then the third pearl is exceedingly difficult. If that were true, it would be common to find that every bet level already has two pearls under each jackpot, but that is not the case. Therefore, I don’t think the game is rigged in that manner.

• The pearls needed for the jackpots can only land on the three middle reels. Up to three pearls can land per spin, but only one of each kind.

• The mini and minor jackpots are fixed, while the maxi and major are progressives.

• The free spins feature is very volatile. Without retriggers, it can be a bust. But if you manage multiple retriggers, it can lead to huge payouts.
