Mongol Treasures overview
Mongol Treasures is a 5x3 video slot from Endorphina with 10 fixed paylines, a 96.05% RTP and high volatility. The setting leans into a Mongolian steppe theme with horses, traditional costume and a plain, older-school presentation. What stands out here is the free spins feature, where a random symbol becomes an expanding symbol for the whole round.
Symbols and paytable
Across the reels, I get a line-up built around horses and two character symbols. The Mongolian man is the top regular payer at 500x for five of a kind. The white horse follows with 200x, while the dark brown horse pays 75x for five. The design choice to keep the paytable compact fits the slot's age and straightforward structure.
Crucially, the Mongolian woman handles two jobs at once. She is both Wild and Scatter, substituting for regular symbols and paying 200x for five Wilds. Compared to the studio's previous work from the same era, that dual-purpose symbol keeps the rules simple, though it also means the symbol set feels a bit thin by current standards.
Symbol Payouts
Bonus features
Three or more Scatter symbols trigger 10 Free Spins. Before the feature starts, one regular symbol is chosen at random to become the special expanding symbol. During the round, after regular wins are paid, that symbol can expand to fill all three positions on its reel, but only when enough matching symbols are present to create a win. Expanded symbols can also pay on non-adjacent positions across active lines.
Free spins can re-trigger, which gives the round more upside than the base game suggests at first glance. Alongside that, Mongol Treasures includes the classic Risk Game, where I can try to double a win by picking a higher card than the dealer. There is also Bonus Pop access to the bonus round, although availability can depend on where the game is offered.
Bonus Buy Options
Three or more Scatter symbols trigger 10 free spins. A random symbol is chosen before the feature and can expand to cover the full reel when enough symbols are present for a win.

How the game plays
10 paylines and a standard reel set make the base game easy to read. Wins land in familiar left-to-right fashion, and the woman symbol is the key piece because she can help in regular line hits and also unlock the feature. High volatility shapes the session, so the base game can drag a bit before the bonus round shows up.
Ryan Cole’s Verdict
Final verdict
For players who like classic Endorphina slots, Mongol Treasures still has a clear identity. The random expanding symbol in free spins is the main attraction, and it gives the game a stronger hook than the 10-line layout might suggest. I also think the combined Wild-Scatter symbol is a smart piece of design for such a simple setup.
Not everyone will enjoy this volatility, and I am not entirely sold on the theme execution because the visuals now feel dated. Even so, the slot has a clean ruleset, solid top symbol values and a bonus round that can re-trigger. I would place it with players who prefer older, direct slots over crowded feature stacks.
