Son of also praised by historians King David (who united all Israelites into 1 kingdom), Solomon is believed to have built an immense fortune for himself and for the established Judean dynasty during his 40-year reign.
In addition to his riches, he had achieved lasting fame as:
- Creator of important construction objects (including the first Temple of Jerusalem),
- A drafter of administrative sections in the public system, and
- Fortifier of trading routes/allies with his shrewd business acumen.
King Solomon was admired as a poet, wise judge, and military commander: knowledgeable not only in the art of warfare but also in international diplomacy (during his rule, Israel enjoyed undivided peace and prosperity).
So it’s no surprise that souvenirs, decorations, jewelry and various gems found their way onto the reels of Solomon’s Treasure slot. 50 paylines in the most common layout define the structure of this video game.
Here the Taiwan-based Studio KA Gaming offers an acceptable hit rate of 34%, a large (as always for this developer) betting area – up to 250 CAD, a decent paytable, but a lack of boosting features (which explains the scant 1000x total bet maximum prospects), i.e. not so lavish gold mines. Medium-High Volatility and RTP of 95.90% are the other key technical features of the game.
Note: Most of these details have been established in our internal game lab, through private channels and internal analytic tools.
Below we have listed all 6 negatives that caused us problems with this slot.
- No officially disclosed technical elements of the game. So again we had to make our own deductions (right or wrong).
- The theme is interesting and quite intriguing, but no symbols of the King himself or his family/entourage were introduced in the paytable – David, Bathsheba, the Queen of Sheba etc.). Therefore, the design is far from great (sloppy and uninspired). Moreover, the ordinary audio presentation does not compensate for the mediocre visuals.
- The game carries above-average risk, but despite the high max bet, the action isn’t suitable for high-rollers (due to the low max potential – 1000x – insufficient for games of this variance), nor is it good for low-rollers (due to the expensive minimum bet per spin – 50 cents). The slot floats around the initial bankroll figure when playing with minimum stakes, and also scores poorly when playing with high stakes.
- According to our test results, the RTP is lower than the industry-level average (although theoretically – this index can influence the general gambling public when making choices), which pushes this game into an even less desirable place – in the category of seemingly less fair games).
- While the values on the paytable are reasonable, no Multipliers, Jackpots or boosters of any other form are introduced (the Instant Coins feature is only active on non-winning spins), which is the reason for the overall underperformance and inability to increase the balance in both: base and Bonus rounds. (Our team’s test sessions have all failed to produce good wins.)
- The wait for the Bonus can be long here. This is typical of extended-cycle games of this Volatility. And while multiple re-triggers are possible, the standard result of the Bonus is disappointing in most cases.
All in all, we do not believe Solomon’s Treasure slot is a suitable game for wagering bonus money, nor for playing with real funds (the 6 drawbacks clarified above). Bonuses are very irregular, so count yourself lucky, if you manage to trigger one within the first 100 spins. In the average session, this will not happen, and a quick recurrence is even less possible. Our final verdict is negative – we see no reason to launch this game a second time.

Bonus Features of Solomon’s Treasure slot
- Wilds – The golden key is the Wild factor in the game. It is a non-value symbol (i.e. cannot create its own winning combinations, i.e. cannot drop on reel 1), but as usual, operates as a replacement for all missing standard symbols when wins can be built.
- Scatters & Free Spins – Solomon’s Temple is the Scatter. Landing 3/4/5 Scatters during 1 base spin will pay 8x/15x/20x the bet respectively and will launch a Bonus round of 15/20/15 FS. Here the special FS coin feature is active and multiple re-trigger within 1 Bonus is possible.
- Coin Feature
- Base game coins – Only on a non-winning spin if there are 1 or more chest symbols – they will open to reveal their content. The chance is that these chests contain coins. You will be granted 1x the total bet for each of these chests with coins.
- Bonus round coins – There is a collection sack next to the reels at the moment of launching the Bonus. Now all chests will fall open and all with coins inside. However, again only on a non-winning spin, there is a chance to be granted a reward. Here it is 2x the total bet for each of these chests with coins, collected in the sack.
