Queen of the Nile is one of two slot machines released by Aristocrat with this theme, the other one being the sequel to the game we’re looking at right now. As you might imagine, the theme seems to have to do with Cleopatra, the most famous queen of Ancient Egypt. She’s been a main character in dozens of other slot machines, from most developers that chose to use Ancient Egypt as inspiration.
5 reels are part of Queen of the Nile, a game which has 20 paylines on them. It offers free spins, multipliers, scatters and wilds. As for its best prizes, they will give you $27,000.
Features of Queen of the Nile
As the features offered in Queen of the Nile, you will find that you have wild symbols, multipliers, scatter symbols and free spins. These are all standard features for a modern slot machine, but it’s still great to have them all in one place.
The Queen is visible in the symbol which acts as the wild. Queen of the Nile uses this symbol to award prizes and to act as a Joker, being capable of taking the place of a regular symbol if it’s trying to form a combo. The wild is still required to land in the right spot before it can be of help, but that happens often enough. More than that, the wild also doubles wins it contributes to. Multiple wilds, on the same line and arranged from the left to the right, will create a combo of their own, with payouts starting at 10x (for 2 wilds) and going up to 9,000x (for all five present). The only symbol which can’t be replaced with a wild is the Pyramid scatter.
The Pyramids are visible in the other major symbol of the game, the scatter. The name of the feature comes from the symbol’s ability to appear scattered on the reels, without occupying the same payline. Despite the random locations, these symbols still award a prize and give you access to the free spins. The prize varies between 2x and 400x the triggering bet, for two to five Pyramids present.
Free Games Feature
As long as you have at least three Pyramids symbols present, you will be offered a round with 15 free spins. All prizes obtained during this feature will be worth 3x the usual amount. You can also retrigger free games, with the same 3+ scattered Pyramids.
Betting options and jackpots
You can use a maximum of 20 coins, and that’s only if you have all 20 lines active. For each line, one coin is selected, with a denomination between $0.01 and $3. The bets which are placed each round will go up to $60.
You can win 9,000 coins if you get the biggest prize that this game offers, and their maximum total value will be $27,000.
Design and symbols
There is nothing special about the design of Queen of the Nile. It’s a typical Egyptian themed game, with a background image which looks like the wall of a pyramid, with drawings on it, plus reels which have a sand like texture. The symbols are both poker cards and symbols of things like scarabs, pharaohs, Eye of Ra and so on. All of them are present in dozens of other slots.
Symbols: Queen (9,000 coins, wild), Pyramids (scatter, 400 times bet), Pharaoh (750 coins), Gold Bracelet (750 coins), Gold Scarab (400 coins), Eye of Ra (250 coins), Flowers (250 coins), Ace (125 coins), King (100 coins), Queen (100 coins), Jack (100 coins), 10 (100 coins) and 9 (100 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
While the prizes seem better in this game, the features are superior in the second title from the series. The design is the same one, so choose the one you prefer.
You will find Queen of the Nile at any online casino which chooses to use software from Aristocrat, playable either for free or for real money.
