Sunken City Riches Demo by Stakelogic

Sunken City Riches intro screen with the monkey in three panels and the Mystery Pick gear grid
The monkey guide appears in all three intro panels, in goggles and a leather waistcoat by the Treasure Map Meter, in a brass diving helmet astride a mechanical fish over the Mystery Pick Bonus, and holding a spyglass on top of the Sunken Free Spins panel, with a purple x500 gem revealed on the pick grid.

Five bronze gear plaques hang over the Sunken City Riches reels, and in a fresh demo not one of them is lit. The four on the left name reel features. Treasure Map scatters open them one at a time, Payway Maker at 4 maps, Upgrade at 8, Wild Multipliers at 12, and Split Symbols at 16. Once a plaque is open, its feature can fire at random on any later spin, so every fourth map, up to the sixteenth, gives this slot another feature. The fifth plaque reads Bonus.

Free Play Features

Treasure Map Meter

A Treasure Map scatter is a rolled parchment map marked with a red dotted path and a red X, with a coloured gem badge showing its value. It may land on any reel, and each one counts twice, once in the Treasure Map Meter and once in the Gem Meter. The Treasure Map Meter opens a new feature for every 4 maps collected, in this sequence.

Maps Feature What it does
4 Payway Maker Picks a random symbol on reel 1 and copies it onto the other reels to form a payway
8 Symbols Upgrade Upgrades a random paying symbol to the highest paying symbol
12 Add Wild Multipliers Adds 1 to 3 Wilds at random, each with a multiplier of x1, x2, x3, x4, or x5
16 Split Symbols Splits 1 to 10 random symbols of different types

Several features can trigger during a single spin, and when they do, they always play in the order of the table, top to bottom. Each one pays any win it makes and then ends. Once all four are unlocked and the Mystery Pick Bonus has been played, the meter starts again from zero with every feature still unlocked. Changing the bet resets the Treasure Map Meter in full.

The game’s story is a quest for the scattered pieces of an ancient map, making it an adventure slot before it is an underwater one. Overgrown jungle ruins, gold gears, and two waterfalls frame the grid, and the sunken city stays a destination.

Gem Meter and Mystery Pick

Sunken City Riches 5x4 reels with a Treasure Map scroll on reel 1 and a green x7 gem on reel 5
A rolled Treasure Map scroll hovers over reel 1 and a green x7 gem glows at the foot of reel 5, next to the empty Gem Meter, while the five gear plaques above the reels stay dark.

Every map lands with a multiplier on its gem, and the colour gives the band: green 3x to 10x, blue 15x to 25x, red 50x to 250x, and purple 500x to 1000x. Those values don’t pay when they land. They go into the Gem Meter, the double stack of gear sockets along the grid’s right-hand edge, and the game pays them only in the Mystery Pick Bonus.

When 20 gems have been collected, the Mystery Pick Bonus starts, and the gems transfer into it, where the player chooses gears to reveal multipliers. The round opens with 3 picks. Some gears reveal an extra pick, up to 4 extra for 7 in all, and the bonus ends when no picks remain. It pays the total multiplier times the bet, and after it the Gem Meter can fill again. Gem progress is saved for each bet level separately, so a count built at one stake waits there while another is played.

Free Spins Scatters

Free spins belong to a different symbol, a teal-blue domed building with an arched golden door and BONUS in gold letters, and it may land on any reel. Three of them award 8 free spins, four award 10, and five award 12. When more than three land, the game gives only the highest applicable number of spins. During the round, three more of them add 3 extra spins, four add 4, and five add 5.

How to Play

Monkey Wild and 1024 Ways

The monkey Wild may land on reels 2 to 5 and substitutes for all paying symbols. Wins use 1024 ways across 5 reels and 4 rows, with matching symbols on three or more adjacent reels counted from the leftmost reel. The game pays each symbol for its longest match only and adds together wins on different ways.

Slot RTP

Free spins take 100x the bet as their buy price and start straight away. Super Stake adds half the bet again while it’s active and puts more scatter symbols on the reels, so the free spins round becomes more likely. The symbol pays don’t change. Standard play, Super Stake, and the buy all return the same 96.01% RTP. The default bet is 0.20, and because the Gem Meter saves progress for each bet level, a change of stake brings up the gems saved at that level.

Slot Paytable

Five diving helmets pay 5x, the highest row here, and no card rank reaches 1x even for five. A, K, and Q share one set of values, while J and 10 share another. Every figure is a per-way win, written as a multiple of the stake.

Symbol 3 4 5
Diving helmet 1x 2x 5x
Clam with pearl 0.6x 1.2x 2.5x
Compass 0.5x 0.9x 1.5x
Trident 0.4x 0.7x 1x
A 0.2x 0.3x 0.5x
K 0.2x 0.3x 0.5x
Q 0.2x 0.3x 0.5x
J 0.1x 0.2x 0.4x
10 0.1x 0.2x 0.4x

Neither scatter has a row in the table, and the Wild has none either.

Ultimate Slots Verdict

Anyone happy to hold one bet and watch two counts climb will find Sunken City Riches well made, with reel features opening at 4 to 16 maps and a pick bonus at 20 gems. A stake change wipes the map count.

  • Split Symbols, opened at 16 maps, splits 1 to 10 random symbols

  • Free Spins retrigger, adding 3 to 5 more spins for 3 to 5 scatters

Misses What could be better

Detailed Review

Final Thoughts

15,000x the bet caps a win in Sunken City Riches, in the base game and in free spins alike, while five diving helmets, the top row of the pay table, return 5x. Read against that 5x, the meters are the game. Map values of up to 1000x pay only in the Mystery Pick, the Add Wild Multipliers feature needs 12 maps before it can fire, and Symbols Upgrade needs 8.

Stakelogic dresses its September 2026 release as a hunt, with a map marked by a red X on every Treasure Map scatter and a story about a sunken city full of treasure. Underneath, it plays like a progress bar, and the plaques and the gem column keep both of its counts on screen. Each map is banked twice, and the game spends those balances on its own terms, the gear features at random on later spins and the gem values in one pick round.

A close comparison on the site is the Vault Meter in Piggy Heist, where every 6 Stethoscope Scatters unlock one new Wild stage and progress is tied to the bet. Sunken City Riches splits that idea in two. One count opens four different reel features, the other stores multiplier values for a pick, and a single symbol feeds both.

The two counts part company when the bet moves, and that is the cost here. The Gem Meter keeps a separate saved total at each bet level, but the Treasure Map Meter resets in full on any change, so a player who adjusts the stake partway up starts the map count again from zero. Nor do the maps pay anything on the reels; their value waits for 20 gems. Two half-filled meters make a strong case for one more spin, and that pull deserves to be seen for what it is.

Does the hunt reward patience, then? At one fixed bet, yes. The four features open in a set order, stay unlocked once a full cycle and the pick are done, and give the reels something new at 4, 8, 12, and 16 maps, which is more structure than a 5x helmet suggests. The pick bonus makes the same case from the other side. Its 3 to 7 picks pay the total multiplier times the bet, and the gems behind it are saved for each bet level, so patience counts there too.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Treasure Map Meter resets in full. The Gem Meter works differently, saving its progress for each bet level separately, so it shows the gems stored at whichever bet is now selected.
Sunken City Riches always plays them in one order: Payway Maker, then Symbols Upgrade, then Add Wild Multipliers, then Split Symbols. More than one can be triggered during a single spin.
Three to start, once 20 gems fill the Gem Meter. Some gears reveal an extra pick, up to 4 more for 7 picks in all, and the bonus pays the total multiplier times the bet when none remain.
