Hidden Loot

Hidden Loot, the online video slot machine game from Betsoft, is a unique game in our collection. It's about as close to an old 8-bit video game as you can get – but with clearer graphics (if not smoother), and of course, the possibility to win big bucks.

The game has three reels and three rows, and there are three, horizontal pay lines. Once you've set up your betting parameters, go ahead and press spin – you'll see three symbols appear on the bottom row of reels. Choose which ones you want to “hold,” and then press spin again. Now you've got your full screen of reels, and you'll see if you're a winner.

Icons include topaz, sapphires, rubies, treasure chests, and pirate ships. The pirate captain with a peg leg hangs out along the side of the reels, standing on the beach with a shovel. He is wild and can substitute for any icon you need to win.

But when you score three Hidden Loot icons and you'll go to the mini bonus game. First, the pirate will dig in the dirt for treasure. Then you're taken to the new screen, which is part Donkey Kong, part Pac-Man, and all fun.

Your job is to move through the tunnels and collect as many jewels as you can within the time limit. There are three levels in this game. Each level gets progressively harder; with a shorter time limit and more jewels to collect. But be careful – the undead skeletons in these tunnels will follow you around and try to catch you. If they do, they'll take your jewels and you'll have to start collecting again, but just on that level. Finish the collecting, and then collect your jackpot.
