Temple Of Treasure Megaways Slot Review
Most Megaways games make you pay for their best grids twice: once in patience waiting for a big layout, and again in disappointment when the bonus round lands on a starved one. Temple Of Treasure Megaways refuses that second charge. Its free spins round guarantees a set number of Megaways on every spin, which is rarer than it should be on this engine, and it backs the guarantee with an unlimited multiplier that never resets between spins.
Blueprint Gaming built it on the Megaways engine, so every spin can reshape the grid and pay in up to 117,649 ways. It runs at 96.46% RTP across six reels with variable reel heights, and the setting is pure gilded jungle: a sunlit Mayan temple behind a gold frame banded with glyphs and pinned with green gems. It shares its engine with the studio’s Diamond Mine 2 Megaways, Buffalo Rising Megaways and Genie Jackpots Megaways, but none of those promise its bonus grids.
Base Game & Features
Six reels with variable row heights mean the number of symbols on screen changes on every spin, and each layout produces a different ways count, up to that ceiling of 117,649. Wins form on matching symbols appearing on adjacent reels from the left, whatever size those symbols are. Every payout is then multiplied by the stake you set.
Every win triggers a cascade. All winning symbols vanish as part of a reaction, and new symbols drop in from above the reels or from the right of the top symbols, giving the same spin another chance to pay. Cascades keep running for as long as new wins form, which is where a single spin builds momentum.
The order of events matters for how a spin develops. The win pays first, then the reaction clears the winning symbols, then the replacements settle into the gaps, and any new win that forms starts the cycle again. A spin that opens with a modest royal win can still run for four or five reactions if the right symbols keep falling in.
Mystery Symbol
Golden mystery icons can land anywhere on the grid. When they do, every mystery symbol in view transforms into the same symbol, and that symbol can be anything except the Bonus scatter. A cluster of them landing together can fill several reels with matching symbols at once, which makes them the most volatile thing in the base game.
The transformation happens after the symbols land, not as they fall, so there’s a beat of waiting before the reveal. When several mystery icons sit on adjacent reels, they all resolve together into one symbol, and if that symbol happens to be the Chief the reaction that follows can run long.
The wild substitutes for every symbol except the scatter, bridging gaps in near-complete combinations. It can’t stand in for the pyramid Bonus icon, so no wild will ever start the free spins round for you.
Symbol Values
Pays below are multiples of the total bet. The Chief and his headdress lead the table, and the run drops off steeply from there.
- Chief/Headdress: 0.5x for two, 1x for three, 5x for four, 12.5x for five, 25x for six
- Pink Medallion: 0.5x for three, 1x for four, 1.25x for five, 2.5x for six
- Gem Bracelet: 0.15x for three, 0.25x for four, 0.5x for five, 1.25x for six
- Ornament/Bag: 0.15x for three, 0.25x for four, 0.4x for five, 1x for six
- A, K, Glyph: 0.1x for three, 0.15x for four, 0.3x for five, 0.75x for six
- J, 10, Q: 0.05x for three, 0.1x for four, 0.2x for five, 0.5x for six
Only the Chief pays anything for two matching symbols. Everything else needs at least three from the left, and the royals pay so little that a grid full of them rarely covers the spin. The mid-tier treasures are where a profitable spin has to come from, and the gap between the top of the table and the bottom is wide enough that symbol identity matters more here than in most ways-based games.
Temple Of Treasure Megaways Free Spins & Bonuses
Four scatters win the free spins round, and every scatter beyond the fourth adds more spins to the tally. The round doesn’t carry over the base game’s variable reel heights. Instead it awards a guaranteed number of Megaways on every free spin, so no spin in the bonus lands on a starved grid.
It also runs an unlimited win multiplier. The multiplier starts at one and increases after every reaction, so a chain of cascades inside a single free spin keeps raising the value of the next win in that chain.
Put together, a free spin plays out in this order. The guaranteed Megaways grid settles first, the spin resolves any wins, each reaction bumps the multiplier, and the multiplier holds its value for the rest of the round rather than resetting between spins. That last detail is what makes the long game matter.
Scatters still land during the round, and each one beyond a fresh set of four adds spins on top of what’s left. The bonus works through three systems at once:
- A guaranteed Megaways count on every free spin
- An unlimited win multiplier that increases after every reaction and carries between spins
- Additional spins for every scatter beyond the first four, including during the round
Temple Bonus Bet
The Temple Bonus Bet buys the free spins round outright without waiting on four scatters to line up. It costs 100x the current stake, and it buys the round as described: guaranteed Megaways, unlimited multiplier, retriggers and all.
- Temple Bonus Bet: 100x the current stake, buying the guaranteed-Megaways free spins round
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.7/10
Playing Temple Of Treasure Megaways is a long walk through lush jungle with the temple door firmly shut, and the walk is the whole reason you’d pick it: this is a slot that saves everything for its free spins round and pays the wait back with interest once the door opens.
Its strength is the bonus itself. Guaranteed Megaways on every free spin means no wasted spin in the round, and the never-resetting multiplier means a retriggered session keeps getting more valuable rather than starting over.
The weakness is the jungle before the door. Cascades and mystery symbols are the same parts you’ll find in a dozen other Blueprint Megaways titles, and the base pays are thin enough that the wait can feel longer than the theme dresses it up to be. It’s a good pick for players who love the classic Megaways build and don’t need novelty around it; anyone chasing variety in the base game will find the greenery thin cover. For the patient, the temple still pays out.
