How Lost Treasure pays: 243 ways and a wild on reels 2 to 5
Lost Treasure spins five reels of three rows, and its rules count 243 ways to win, 3x3x3x3x3 by our arithmetic. In the rules' words, 'bet ways pay if in succession from leftmost to rightmost', and 'only the highest win per bet way is paid'. The pays of the nine regular symbols are on the pay table page of the rules, in the game.
The wild, by the rules, 'lands on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5' and substitutes for all symbols except the Monkey Collect, the multipliers, the in-game jackpot symbols and the Bonus symbol.
The Monkey Collect: multipliers, a Mini and a Major
In the rules' words, the Monkey 'lands on reel 5 and triggers the collect feature when bet multiplier symbols or mini, major in-game jackpot symbols land on the board'. The collect multiplies the values of all the multiplier symbols on screen by the bet and pays them, and adds the value of any Mini or Major that landed in the same spin.
The collect page of the rules pictures seven multiplier symbols, marked 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 7x and 10x, and sizes both jackpots: the Mini 'equals 12 X total bet', the Major '20 X total bet'.
An example, our arithmetic, taking the rules' 'bet amount' to be a total bet of R10: the Monkey lands with a 2x, a 5x and a Mini. The multipliers make 7 x R10 = R70, the Mini adds 12 x R10 = R120, and the collect pays R190; with a Major in place of the Mini, R270.
The bonus game, where the Treasure is 🎁
Bonus symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 open it: the rules say the symbol 'Triggers Bonus game when appears on 1, 3 and 5 reels together', and the wild does not substitute for it.
The rules describe a set of initial spins played with five kinds of icon: multipliers, paying 'the bet sum multiplied by the value'; '+1' icons, each adding one spin; and Mini, Major and Treasure icons, which 'provide corresponding in-game jackpots'.
The rules name the Treasure among the bonus game's icons, not in the collect, which fits PopOK's product sheet calling the bonus game the place 'where the Treasure is hidden'. The rules size the Mini and the Major but give the Treasure no multiple.
There is a second way in: PopOK's product sheet describes a 'Buy Feature' option that 'lets players buy their way into the Bonus game'.
Lost Treasure in PopOK's news posts
PopOK's news names Lost Treasure in posts about its certificates for Belarus (September 2021), the UK (July 2022), Romania, Georgia and Latvia (August 2022), Malta (September 2022), Sweden (November 2022), the Netherlands and Denmark (March 2023) and Lithuania (December 2023). The earliest, of 23 September 2021, lists it among 18 games 'certified for the market in September 2021' and live at a Belarusian casino.
Several of those posts also list PopOK's '4 level Progressive Jackpot' alongside the games. The 2021 post calls it a 'gamification tool' which 'provides players with unique rewards and operators with an efficient promotional tool'. It is not one of the game's Mini, Major and Treasure, the three 'in-game fixed jackpots' on PopOK's product sheet.

Where PopOK prints each figure for this game.
| Figure | PopOK's value | Where PopOK prints it |
|---|---|---|
| RTP | 96.51% | Product sheet and slots catalogue |
| Volatility | Medium | Slots catalogue card |
| Max Multiplier | x1,620 | Product sheet and slots catalogue |

Reading x1,620 and the jackpots against a stake
PopOK's Max Multiplier tile reads X 1620: R16,200 at a R10 bet, by our arithmetic. That is PopOK's own number for the game, not a promise of any win. The Mini and the Major are smaller and known in advance: R120 and R200 at R10, by the same arithmetic.
No staking pattern or system beats the house edge; a bigger stake raises every collect in rand along with what each spin risks. PopOK's sheet is open about the jackpots' job: 'To boost the engagement to the highest, the game highlights in-game fixed jackpots'. Decide on a time limit and a loss limit before you start.

Lost Treasure FAQ ❓
How does the Monkey Collect work in Lost Treasure?
The Monkey lands on reel 5 and triggers the collect when multiplier, Mini or Major symbols land on the board. It pays the multipliers' values times the bet, plus any Mini (12 times the total bet) or Major (20 times). The rules picture seven multiplier symbols, from 1x up to 10x.
How do you get into the bonus game?
Bonus symbols on reels 1, 3 and 5 together trigger it, and the wild does not stand in for them. The other way in is the Buy Feature on PopOK's product sheet, which 'lets players buy their way into the Bonus game'.
What are the Mini, Major and Treasure?
The game's three 'in-game fixed jackpots', in PopOK's words. The rules put the Mini at 12 times and the Major at 20 times the total bet, and both appear in the Monkey collect and in the bonus game. The Treasure is one of the bonus game's icons, the prize PopOK says is 'hidden' there.
What RTP and top multiplier does PopOK give?
PopOK's product sheet and slots catalogue both give an RTP of 96.51% and a Max Multiplier of x1,620, and the catalogue card labels the volatility medium. Read the x1,620 as PopOK's own figure for the game, not as a result to expect.
What does PopOK Gaming say about South Africa?
Its home page lists South Africa under 'Our Certifications', and a March 2025 news post announces 'certification for the South African market, specifically in the Northern Cape', naming Diamond Flash, Hot Bar and Los Apaches as examples. Neither gives a certificate number. For a licence, the footer names Soft Construct (Malta) Limited, which runs the site, and its Malta Gaming Authority licence MGA/B2B/286/2014.
