Queen's Chamber Introduction
Head deep underground to an ancient Egyptian burial tomb in this game developed by Joyplay, one of hundreds of free online pokies available with us.
Buried treasure
Pretend you’re a great explorer as you head into the Queen’s Chamber to find the riches hidden there thousands of years ago. Part of the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Queen’s Chamber got its name from Arab explorers but it’s now thought no queen was ever buried there. However, a stunning queen with bright red lips, cat-like eyes, a Cleopatra bob and an asp on her head, awaits you in this 5-reel pokie, and invites you in to try and find gold.
The chamber you enter is guarded by two symbols of Anubis, the protector of the dead. If you’re brave enough to go deeper, you’ll see the game screen set inside the chamber and framed in gold. There’s a hint of the riches on offer, as golden rays glint off the symbols which are set against a black backdrop on the reels, and include card symbols nine through to Ace, in green, blue and gold.
Other ancient Egyptian icons include a scarab, Tutankhamun, Anubis, the Eye of Horus and the Great Pyramid of Giza. The music is mystical as the reels click into place, with a nice twinkle announcing any winning combos, as golden coins tumble from a a bright sun shining from the centre of the reels.
Spin for treasure
The game screen is nicely laid out, with the menu, info, lines, bet, denomination and total bet amount situated on the left. Any winnings are shown in the middle, and to the right, is your balance together with the autoplay and spin buttons, making it easy to start playing straightaway. As you might expect, the lowest paying icons are the cards, with 9s and 10s paying out just 50 coins for five in a row.
These are followed by Tutankhamum, Anubis and the Eye of Horus, each paying 100 for spinning five. The pyramid will give you 200, the scarab and the ankh give 300. The ankh, or key of life, acts as the wild, while the Queen herself is the scatter bonus. If you spin winning wilds, the amount flashes up in golden lights in the middle of the screen, so you can see exactly what you’ve won.
Everytime a bonus queen spins into view, there’s a loud noise to get you excited and make you want to keep spinning in the hope of a big win. All wins are paid left to right, except for the scatter, which pays anywhere on the line.
Conclusion

The graphics are crisp and clean and the colours really stand out against the dark black background. Give Queen's Chamber a go, it won’t disappoint if you’re brave enough to face the burial chamber!
