Queen of the Pharaohs

The name Queen of the Pharaohs, a slot available at Skywind online casinos, gives you a pretty good idea of what this game is all about. It has a very bright and vibrant Egyptian theme that centers around the pyramids and a woman pharaoh-type figure that could be Cleopatra, but it's not explicitly pointed out whether she is or isn't. Regardless, this is a game with a fairly high volatility and some chances for tremendous high-level payouts even though the rest of the pay table has some degree of balance with plenty of medium-level and low-level payouts that keep the hit-rate at a reasonable level.

Game Format

With 30 paylines spread across five reels and three rows, you'll be getting plenty of ways to win on each spin. Players can pick coin sizes that go from $0.01 to $10 apiece for a betting range of $0.30 to $300 per spin in this title. However, it's important to note that the number of paylines is static and cannot be adjusted, so you'll always have all 30 of them activated. Options for a turbo mode, which speeds the time up between spins, and for an auto-spins mode can be found on the right-hand side at the bottom under the reels as well.

Wild Queen Symbol

The wild queen symbol is by far one of the two most important symbols in this whole game. It's key for a few reasons, one of which is that it helps players to hit winning combos they wouldn't have received without it, which increases your bottom line throughout your sessions and boosts your hit-rate as a whole. On top of that, it has some pretty serious wins available for winning combinations that only consist of wild symbols as well.

A top jackpot worth 10,000x is yours for five of a kind of this wild symbol on a payline. It's the largest win available in the regular game. Dropping down to four of a kind awards 500x, and three of a kind will get you 50x as well. You can even take down a 10x prize for two of a kind, but realize that you'll get the largest available win on each payline individually (ie: if the wilds could be used to make a longer win for a different symbol with a higher payout). Additionally, the wild does not substitute for the scatter during regular play.

Scattered Pyramids and Free Spins

The pyramid symbol with the sun behind it is the scatter, and it appears on all reels. Two or more will give you a payout with two of a kind scoring 30x, three of a kind giving you 60x and four of a kind being worth 150x. A payout of 600x is yours for five of a kind as well. To get these wins, the symbols can show up anywhere on the reels no matter their placement or position.

Scoring three or more of the scatters gives you some free spins. You'll get 15, 25 or 50 free turns for three, four or five scatter symbols, respectively. On each free spin, a random multiplier of 2x, 3x, 5x or 8x will be chosen that will give you bigger wins than you'd normally get. On top of that, the wild symbol will substitute for the scatter during this feature both for the sake of scatter pays and for the sake of re-triggering the free spins.

Other Payouts

The eye of Horus gets players 500x for five of a kind. You can earn 300x for five of the bird symbol or five of the blue scarab beetle. Five of a kind wins of the ankh and the purple crown get 200x. You can win 150x for five of the purple A or orange K as well, and it drops down to 125x for the yellow Q or blue J. The red 10 and green 9 symbols get players 100x for five on a line also.

Overview

The style of gameplay of the Queen of the Pharaohs slot is the main thing that separates it from all of the other Egyptian-themed online slots out there. What we like about it is the chance that you could win as much as 80,000x on a single payline with the wild symbols in the free spins mode with major multipliers. We also like that this game has a higher level of volatility with a 10,000x base jackpot size that gives players something really serious to shoot for.
