Treasure of Tengshe Slot Review

Treasure of Tengshe - Game Overview

Treasure of Tengshe is a 5 reel, 5 row video slot with 50 pay lines from Blue Guru Games, later known as Slammer Studios. It takes you into a classic Chinese setting with flying serpents of good fortune looping across the sky. I liked how the game mixed a calm, temple style backdrop with sharp symbol art. The title has now been decommissioned, so you can no longer spin it for real money.

When it was live, Treasure of Tengshe played from 0.10 to 200 credits a spin, which suited both cautious testing and higher stakes bursts. The focus sits on dragon wilds that expand to cover entire reels, feeding into a free spins bonus with a growing dragon wild and multipliers up to 4x. There is also a feature buy option for direct entry to the bonus, priced at 80x your current bet.

Symbols and Paytable in Treasure of Tengshe

The pay symbols in Treasure of Tengshe start with coloured card suits. Blue diamonds, green clubs, purple spades and red hearts form the low end, paying 1x your stake for five of a kind on a line. Above them sit classic Chinese icons such as gold ingots, a gold frog, a lotus flower and a phoenix. These premium symbols return between 2x and 15x your bet when you land five on a pay line.

A dragon is the wild symbol in Treasure of Tengshe. It appears only on reels one, three and five, but whenever it lands the dragon stretches to become a full reel wild before pays are calculated. This wild substitutes for all regular symbols, and there is a chance for an attached multiplier. In the bonus round, the usual wilds make way for a special growing dragon wild and firework symbols that power it up.

RTP, Volatility and Wins in Treasure of Tengshe

Treasure of Tengshe runs with a 95.45 percent RTP in its main setting, with alternative configurations at 94, 92 and 89.94 percent for some markets. Volatility sits in the medium bracket, so I found the balance between smaller line hits and bonus rounds fairly even. With stakes from 0.10 to 200 and a max win of 4,190x the bet, the top prize is attractive but extremely rare, around one in a billion spins.

Bonus Features in Treasure of Tengshe

During the base game of Treasure of Tengshe, the dragon wilds do most of the work. When one lands on reels one, three or five it expands to fill the reel, often linking lines you did not expect. Sometimes the expanding wild picks up a multiplier, which then applies to any win that uses that reel. Those stacked wild reels are key to lining up the better pays from the premium symbol set.

Hit three dragon wilds on the same spin in Treasure of Tengshe and you move into the free spins feature. First the dragons expand and any wins from that setup are paid. Then five free spins play out on a tweaked reel set with no standard dragon wilds. Instead, a snaking, growing dragon wild sits at the top of the centre reel in a 1x2 shape, counting as wild symbols wherever its body covers.

Special firework symbols take over the role of scatters in Treasure of Tengshe during the bonus. When a green or red firework lands, the dragon crawls towards it, eats it and grows by one symbol position. Green fireworks award an extra spin, while red fireworks increase the dragon multiplier by one step up to a 4x cap. In markets that allowed it, I often bought this feature for 80x when I fancied fast action.

How to Play Treasure of Tengshe Effectively

When I was learning Treasure of Tengshe, I started with low stakes around 0.10 or 0.20 and watched how often the dragon wilds appeared. The medium volatility can still throw in dry spells, so I preferred a stake that let me ride out sessions while waiting for a full trio of dragons. If the base game kept dropping two wild reels quite often, I would edge the bet up a notch.

I rarely spammed the feature buy in Treasure of Tengshe, even though the 80x price felt fair for five free spins. Instead, I used it when I was ahead and wanted a shot at a bigger hit without grinding. Because symbol values are on the low side, you need that long, powered up dragon wild in the bonus to see the game at its best, so I tried not to chase it too hard.

Visuals and Theme in Treasure of Tengshe

The presentation in Treasure of Tengshe leans on familiar but well drawn Chinese imagery, with temple roofs and red lanterns framing the reels. The dragons look like flying serpents from folklore rather than cartoon mascots, and their movement across the reels gives the slot a nice flow. Paired with a restrained soundtrack and bright symbol colours, it felt atmospheric enough to keep me engaged through medium length sessions.

Final Verdict on Treasure of Tengshe

Looking back, Treasure of Tengshe stands out to me as a slot that lives and dies by its dragon wilds. The base game is quite simple, yet those full reel wilds with occasional multipliers land often enough to stop it feeling flat. Free spins with the snaking dragon wild and firework power ups can be great fun when the multipliers climb, even if the bonus usually finishes with more modest results.

It is a shame that Treasure of Tengshe has now been retired by Slammer Studios, because it offered a solid medium volatility option with a distinct, dragon focused mechanic. You can no longer find it in live casino lobbies, though demo versions may still surface here and there. For me it remains a memorable example of how a straightforward feature set can still feel lively when the core wild mechanic hits often.
