Tree Of Riches

Sometimes the simplest things possess the greatest appeal – this is the advantage of Tree of Riches, a one-line slot from Pragmatic Play with a golden, classical Chinese theme.

With gleaming gold to be seen everywhere, this title offers straightforward play with an excellent top payout of 2880x. The Tree of Riches wild symbol is the key to it all!

Theme

Ancient China commanded respect throughout the world…

… not just for its tremendous advancements in technology (paper or gunpowder anyone?) and culture (ever heard of writing?), but also for its wealth.

That’s right, the Silk Road wasn’t built just for fun!

That wealth is the centerpiece of this uncomplicated title, in the form of endlessly gleaming gold.

Gaming symbols are quite simple: there are three sacks of gold in three colors, which pay for three-of-a-kind or for any combination of three. Of these, the red bag is the highest-value with a payout of 88x.

Most appealing is the golden tree wild symbol. Whenever it appears, a random win multiplier of 5x, 8x, or 10x may be applied. If two wild symbols appear and the third reel is blank, the empty reel will re-spin until a win is awarded. Three wild symbols pay a handsome 288 times the bet size!

This game is built by Pragmatic Play, a brand with complicated history. Though officially established in 2015, strong connections exist between this designer and the scandal-prone TomGame, which was launched in 2008 – as a matter of fact, the same owner has been in place for both companies. With that said, Pragmatic has won some major awards in recent years, so they clearly have some good material to offer.

Betting Options, Functions, and Features

In terms of gaming structure, slots don’t get much simpler than this. There is one fixed payline in this medium-high-volatility title. Total bet is set simply from 0.20–1.00 times the betting currency.

Player options, payline information, game rules, and more are available via a pop-up menu. Autoplay can be engaged for up to 100 spins in a row, or as a simple on-off toggle, with optional win/loss limits available. Quick and Turbo spin modes are also available for those who prefer a faster gaming tempo.

The theoretical return to player (RTP) is excellent at 96.45%.

Our Take

The appeal of one-line slots is obviously limited. Very few serious gamers are likely to spend much time on any slot of this scale, especially without a bonus game to vary rhythm.

From a purely mathematical perspective, this is a shame, since Tree of Riches offers outstanding odds to players. For patient punters, this slot may be a winner… but it’s certainly worth trying out for any player with a penchant for simple (golden) pleasures.
