Queen of Riches Introduction
All hail the Queen of Riches, for she could be the answer to your great fortune! This unique game from Big Time Gaming boasts an Ancient Egyptian theme, which many of you who enjoy free online pokies will be familiar with. But don’t think of this game as another generic pokie because that’s certainly not the case.
The first noticeable difference is that there are 6 reels in this game, which present the chance of revealing 7 symbols thanks to the Megaways feature. This provides you with a whopping 117,649 ways of winning in this game, which is why this game has received a royal seal of approval. And it gives you some great opportunities to adorn yourself in the riches worthy of any king or queen, too.
Standard Symbols
To make sure the pokie fits in with the theme it’s based upon, you will find a number of standard Egyptian symbols on your screen. These include a blue scarab beetle, the Eye of Horus and Ra (the winged sun god). You’ll also find generic card symbols (9, 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace) and, of course, no Egyptian-based pokie would be complete without a pyramid or two.
But that’s where the generic features end…
Spin to Win
The Ancient Egyptian theme is popular amongst pokie players, but Queen of Riches does add a unique twist to this theme. To start with, you only need to match up two identical symbols in order to start winning (these need to be on adjacent reels from the left-hand side to the right-hand side). And whilst this isn’t an entirely new concept, a lot of the games you find this on will have 5 reels and just 243 ways to win.
Sometimes, they may even offer 1,024 ways to win, but as we’ve already revealed, this game’s offering you a lot more chances of winning than that! To add even more excitement to this, none of the reels has a set number of reel positions, which means you could find anything from 3 to 7 symbols appearing on each of the game’s reels with each spin you take.
This is the infamous Megaways feature, which is what provides you with the 117,649 ways to win when you get the grid that’s 6 x 7.
Discovering Your Riches
As you may expect, there aren’t any paylines in this game (well, there are, but no-one’s going to want to count all of these). This means that you’ll have to place a single bet on each of the spins you take, which will establish your maximum bet. The stakes available are 0.20, 0.40, 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20 and 40 credits. Prizes in this game are limited due to how many ways you can win on the reels, with the maximum payout of 1,200 credits being available.
This is when you’ve bet a maximum and 6 of the pyramid icons appear on your reels. And don’t forget to keep your eye out for the Queen of Riches herself, because she’ll offer random multipliers worth anything from x1 to x7.
