Queen of Queens Introduction
Queen of Queens is an ancient Egyptian-themed pokie from Habanero. Set against a dusky desert backdrop of pyramids and camels, the aim of the game is to win big prizes in the form of opulent jewellery reminiscent of ancient Egyptian royalty. This pokie has five reels and an incredible 243 ways of winning, with prizes being awarded for successful two, three four and five-of-a-kind winning combinations.
Not only is there a wide range of regular prizes to be won but there is also the chance to unlock bonus features such as wilds, free spins, multipliers and a progressive jackpot. In a novel touch all of the symbols in this game are unique and relate to the theme as opposed to so many pokies wherein most of the lower value symbols are represented by playing card types such as 'K', 'Q' or 'J'.
Ancient Treasures
The most valuable regular symbol is the Queen of Queens logo. Finding five of these in a winning configuration will award a maximum prize of 5000 coins. Tied as the second most valuable symbols are the cat and the bird, both of which pay out a top prize of 500 coins each.
The least valuable are the gold ring, ruby/necklace and amethyst/purple stone symbols, which all award maximum prizes of 100 coins each, though these can soon add up thanks to the unusually large number of fixed paylines.
Wild Queen
In addition to regular prizes, there are a number of ways to achieve additional wins. The most valuable special symbol is the queen herself; she awards a truly massive jackpot of 25,000 coins for a successful five reel match. In addition, the symbol is wild meaning that it can be used to substitute any other symbol (except for the scatter) as part of a winning combination.
Sacred Scatters
As mentioned briefly above, there is also a scatter symbol, represented in this game by a picture of a special urn with a wolf/jackal head as a lid (canopic jar). This serves multiple purposes. Prizes are awarded for instances of three to five symbols appearing on the reels in any configuration, up to a maximum of 400 coins. These scatter wins are multiplied by your total bet, meaning that there is the potential for some very large wins.
Scatter symbols can also be used to trigger this pokie's free spins feature. Finding three or more of them in any configuration will trigger the game mode, in which you are awarded 15 free spins, though this feature can be re-triggered indefinitely. Just as importantly, all prizes won with free spin wins are multiplied by three! Last but not least is the progressive jackpot, which can be won at the end of any game.
These special prizes are triggered completely at random and are added to all other wins. Additionally, this game has a gambling feature that can be triggered after any successful win. In this mode there is one 'dealer' playing card with a randomly assigned value and four face-down cards from which you have to pick one with a value that exceeds the dealer's.
A successful gamble will double your prize, and can be re-triggered a maximum of five times per win, with winnings doubling consecutively.
