Above the reels, you will notice a colour coded graphic that displays all three egg pay symbols along with an incremented bar that is split into multiplier values of x2, x3, x5, x8, x10, and x15. At the start of any main game spin, the multiplier value is inactive. It will be activated by the first winning combination of a spin, and each further winning cascade after that will result in the multiplier value increasing in gradual increments along the multiplier ladder. All wins are multiplied by the level of the multiplier at the point they occurred, and once the top increment level of x15 has been reached, all further wins will be multiplied by that value. The multiplier will reset to inactive at the end of each spin.  

In conjunction with the multiplier ladder, as a certain number of winning cascades are achieved within a single spin, some symbols will transform into wilds. Three winning cascades will turn all red egg symbols on the grid wild, five winning cascades will, in addition, turn all green egg symbols wild, and seven winning cascades will also turn the blue egg symbols wild. 

Three scatter symbols landing on the grid during any one spin will trigger the free spins feature, awarding ten spins. Any additional scatter symbols above the required three will award an extra two starting spins.

During this feature, the point at which the multiplier is raised and the symbols become wild is reduced compared to the base game, making it easier to achieve. Two winning cascades activate the x3 multiplier and turn red eggs wild, three winning cascades activate the x8 multiplier and turn green eggs wild, and four winning cascades activate the x15 multiplier and turn the final blue eggs wild. The multiplier and wild ladder will reset between spins. The bonus can be fully re-triggered by landing at least four scatter symbols during any one spin. 

PG Soft often deliver a well-presented slot with engaging gameplay, and Tsar Treasures is a great example of that. The use of the multiplier and wild transformation ladder ensures that players are engaged during every spin, and some great base game hits can be achieved courtesy of those features.

In the free spins round, the wild activations and higher multiplier levels become easier to reach; this really raises the excitement value, and there would appear to be plenty of potential in the game at this stage, which makes me wonder whether the 2,500x maximum win is perhaps slightly on the low side.
