The Queens That Rule Online Slots

July 23, 2015

In the centuries of monarchist rule it was often the kings that dominated. But whenever opportunities arose, queens have acquitted themselves well. This article pays a tribute to some of the queens that rule online slots.

The first queen that will come to any slots player’s mind is Cleopatra mainly because there are so many Cleopatra themed slots at online casinos. Cleo Queen of Egypt from Cryptologic has a unique gaming feature, though thematically it is like any other such online slot. The usual symbols from the ancient Egyptian mythology like Anubis, ankh, eye of Horus and mummy are used. Cleopatra is the wild symbol and portrayed in all her sensuous beauty. The pyramid is the scatter symbol, which triggers the bonus feature. You keep selecting icons to win prizes and multipliers until you reveal a booby. The unique gaming feature in Cleo Queen of Egypt is the Crazy Jackpot. Each of the nine paylines runs an independent progressive jackpot. When five Cleopatra symbols appear on an active payline the progressive jackpot for that payline is hit. It is reset to the base level, while the jackpots for the other paylines carry on as before.

The queens of the Central American civilizations were equally powerful, though less glamorous. The software provider Realtime Gaming pays tribute to one such ruler in its online slot titled Mayan Queen. The symbols on the reels such as gold, ornaments, dagger, pot, idol and painting display the culture and wealth of this civilization. Animals like jaguar, snake and parrot show that even the beasts had an important role to play. The pyramid temple awards the fixed jackpot payout. Again the queen is the wild symbol. The Mayan Queen appears only on reel 3, but expands across all reels to show a full length figure in tribal regalia. The symbol also doubles payouts when substituting in winning combinations. The scatter emerald symbol triggers six free spins. During the free spins you are guaranteed an expanded Mayan Queen on reel 3.

Microgaming has picked its queen from the world of children’s rhymes. The online video slot is Rhyming Reels Queen of Hearts. The Queen of Hearts logo is the wild symbol that doubles payouts and also awards the highest line payouts. A slightly lascivious Queen of Hearts appears stacked on reels. The other symbols are the knave who stole the tarts, waitresses, the tarts and regally crafted playing card icons. The crown is the scatter symbol and awards 10 free spins. The Queen of Hearts logo also appears stacked and multiplies payouts four times during the free spins.
