In terms of wins per spin, players can expect to land modest rewards from low-value 9-A combinations (3x, 4x, or 5x) up to substantial payouts from high-paying symbols. Given the volatility level discussed below, Treasures of Kilauea offers reasonable odds for winning but might not deliver excessive multipliers.

Wilds

Although it does not contribute directly towards free spin activations or bonus rounds, its role in completing combinations can make up for lower-paying rewards.

Scatters

To initiate one of the two available bonus features (discussed below), players must activate at least 3 scattered Volcano icons anywhere on the screen during a single bet. Two more Scatters unlock another special feature while fewer than three will reward the initial activation and any other wins created.

Firecracker Trigger: As part of normal play, 2 Scatters and the center Reel’s Wild trigger this event that combines both rewards for two different games into a single win with any one game. It adds extra spins to the reels as a multiplier increases over time each spin played.
In these combined spins the center reel always shows either Wilds in place of symbols on any spin giving an additional possibility per bet to make money via combination results.
Volcano Bonus Round: Triggered by at least three Volcanic Scatters, this bonus mode gives players a chance for significant payouts when activated. Each winning combination rewards two random cash prizes from four amounts with maximum amount 250x.
