Base Game – How to Win Your Share of the 5 Treasures
This slot uses ‘reel ways’, which is an all-ways system. The name seems to be a combination of all-ways and reel-power. There is a 5 reel by 3 row grid of symbols, which gives you 243 potential winning combinations starting from the left-hand side. The smallest spin amount is 88c, and you can bet in multiples of this. You’ll find this creates some odd-looking bet sizes, for example 6x per spin would be $5.28c.
If you are a fan of Asian themed games, whether created by Bally or any other slot software developer, then the symbols found on the reels will not come as any surprise. There are golden carp, dragons, a turtle and golden ingots. You will also find plain (though boldly colored) playing card symbols, which make up the smaller line wins.

Wild symbols have two uses in this game. These are elaborately decorated red symbols, with a gold center containing a Chinese symbol. They substitute for the regular symbols to create extra wins as usual. This can be very valuable when an all-ways system is in play. They also add gold to the jackpot pot of gold above the reels – more on that below.
The final symbol is a red doorway with gold attachments – this is the free spins bonus symbol, you’ll need 3 to trigger the bonus game.
5 Treasures Jackpot Pick Game
Jackpots are awarded randomly in the 5 Treasures slot machine, only you’ll increase the chances of this by collecting wilds during your play session. Each time you hit a wild, gold jumps up above the reels into a special pot – along with a sound effect. The more gold you add, the bigger the chances of the random jackpot game starting. Bally use this same system in many of their free slots.
When this does start, you’ll see the lid of the pot close and the pot shake. Next you have a second screen with 12 gold coins. You pick these, each one showing a white-face (traditional makeup) Fu baby character. There are 4 types, each is associated with one of the jackpots – mini, minor so on. Once you pick 3 of a kind, that is the jackpot you will win.
Free Spins Bonus Round
6 Free spins are a lower number than you’ll find awarded on many slot games – though there is an extra to sweeten the deal. This is a screen where you get to choose which symbol you want added to the reels in super-stacks. You can choose 88 extra dragon symbols (this is the top paying symbol), up to 128 extra of the golden carp (the smallest prize unique symbol). This gives you a chance of some big multi-line wins – and the free spins bonus can be extended with more of the red / gold door symbols.
Plataea is a WMS Gaming slot machine found online exclusively at Jackpot Party Casino. The game has an ancient Greek theme based on the city of Plataea which was the scene of the Battle of Plataea in 479BC. The game features several bonus features including Hot Hot Super Re-Spins, free spins, a gamble option and a Jackpot Party bonus.
Max bet on Plataea is 25 coins per spin which might seem a bit odd considering the game has 50 lines. To make the game more low roller friendly WMS have gone with a 'One coin buys two lines' format.
The stand out feature on Plataea is the Hot Hot Super Re-Spins. This bonus is triggered with the stacked Shield symbols that appear on all reels. Get four Shields on the first reel and the rest of the reels re-spin three times with any extra Shields of wilds held. Once the re-spins are complete the Shields reveal any symbol except the wilds or Acropolis.
The Hot Hot Super Re-Spin feature gives you a great chance of getting some huge multi-line pays as you can get the same symbols on all reels and the same jackpot on all 50 lines. This increases the top jackpot from 200 coins for the five Lady symbols to a much bigger 10,000 coin win if you get a whole screen of Ladies.
Acropolis Map
The Shield Feature also activates without the re-spins if you get them anywhere on the screen without four on the first reel. Again the Shields transform to one of the other symbols except wilds or scatters.
The wild symbol on Plataea is the Soldiers face. The wild only appears on the last four reels so there is no way to get five wilds. The wild does however come in handy by both making up winning combinations and being held on the re-spins.
Treasures Of The Acropolis Slot Machines
The Acropolis symbols are scattered and appear on reels 1, 3 and 5. Getting all three on the screen awards 10 free spins. During the free spins there is no multiplier but there are extra Shields and Wilds added to all reels. This gives you an even better chance of hitting the re-spin feature and the big whole screen pays during the free games.
Plataea has two additional features that are no reel based. The first is a red or black gamble option and the second is a Jackpot Party bonus that gives you a shot at winning one of the five site wide jackpots found at Jackpot Party Casino.
