Pearl Diver 2: Treasure Chest Review

The Fishin’ Frenzy copycat genre is teeming with popular releases, and it’s a very tough niche to compete in. 3 Oaks original Pearl Diver, which was a straight up Fishin' Frenzy clone, hasn’t been wildly successful, but they’ve done a few things in this follow-up that deserves attention. Pearl Diver 2: Treasure Chest looks very similar to the predecessor, and the symbol values are also the same.

You’re taken to what seems like a new location though, and you’ll dive to the bottom when the bonus round triggers. The base game is barebones as usual, but the feature comes with a Gold Pearl collect system that not only awards extra spins, but also guarantees Diver Collect symbols when a reel meter is full. This is a very clever innovation actually, and it livens up the bonus round in a way that should intrigue all Fishin’ Frenzy fans out there.

Pearl Diver 2: Treasure Chest Slot Features

The 4 premium symbols, consisting of diving masks, swimfins, turtles and dolphins, pay between 50 and 200 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins. The Diver Wild steps in for all regular pay symbols to help complete winning combinations, and he also serves as a scatter symbol. The pearl symbols pay 20x your stake for 5-oak wins in the base game, while serving as collectable cash symbols in the bonus round.

Landing 3, 4 or 5 diver symbols anywhere pays 1, 10 or 100 x your stake, respectively, and it also triggers the Bonus Round.

Pearl symbols come with cash prizes of 2x, 5x, 10x or 15x, and all in view are collected by the Diver. There are 4 Treasure Chest Jackpot symbols that can land, and these award the Mini, Minor, Major or Grand jackpots that pay 20x, 50x, 100x or 1,000x your stake, respectively. If you land more than one Diver symbol, all present pearl prizes and jackpots are collected for each Diver.

Some of the cash pearl symbols land with a golden pearl, and this pearl is collected in the Golden Pearl Progress Meter above each reel. You need to collect 3 golden pearls per reel to fill the meter, and this awards +1 extra spin and a guaranteed Diver symbol on the spin that follows.

Finally, non-UK players, and anyone living in an eligible jurisdiction, may take advantage of the Bonus Buy feature. This will set you back 80x your stake, but you’re then guaranteed to land 3+ scatters on the spin that follows.

Nothing too exciting happened for us in the base game, so you can safely skip to the 1-minute mark where we purchase the bonus round. We landed a decent Diver collect win at the very start, and the feature plays out for the remainder of the 4:18-minute highlights video.

Review Summary

We liked the tropical island backdrop from the original better, but other than that Pearl Diver 2: Treasure Chest is a superior release. The symbols have gone through a slight makeover, but the paytable is close to identical and the symbols all pay the same. The deep blue color scheme has a calming effect, which is only reinforced by the tranquil soundtrack, and the cozy Fishin’ Frenzy vibe is going strong all the way.

Instead of pearl prizes up to 1,000x you now get a Grand Jackpot symbol worth the same, and you also have smaller jackpots that can be collected together with pearl prizes up to 15x. The big innovation is the Gold Pearl Collect System, giving you extra spins and guaranteed Collect Diver symbols. This is a very welcome and useful feature, and together with the 4,000x potential it could be enough to convince Fishin’ Frenzy fans to go for a pearl diving session instead.

Pros

• Win up to 2,000x from a single base game spin
• FS where Diver collects pearl prizes and jackpots
• Collect golden pearls to win +1 FS and guaranteed Diver
• Win up to 4,000x your stake (Grand Jackpot is 1,000x)

Cons

• Important stats are not disclosed (like volatility and RTP)
