Explore the Riches of Mayan Mythology in Kukulkan’s Queen Slot
In the second Black Panther movie, which was released in 2022, the movie’s main antagonist is Namor who calls himself Kukulkan. In Mayan culture, where the name originates, Kukulkan was, however, less Hermes ripoff and more serpent-like. Stone depictions of the deity always feature a serpent body with the head sometimes depicted as a big cat or as more human. Either way, not aquatic Hermes with tiny wings on his feet.
Kukulkan’s Queen slot from GameArt seems to have taken more inspiration from Black Panther than the actual mythology, but when a slot looks this good, who really cares?
All rise for the queen!
The slot’s gameplay is built around cascading reels, a feature that removes symbols involved in winning combinations, allowing new symbols to take their place. This allows multiple winning combinations to be completed on a single spin. Kukulkan’s Queen slot goes a step further with this popular feature, though. With each consecutive cascade, the win multiplier will be increased up to a maximum of 50x your winnings.
During the base game, the stacked wild will only appear on reel five. If it appears on the reels with all three symbols visible, it will trigger respins. If a stacked wild appears with only two symbols visible, there is a possibility that it will be nudged into full view.
Once respins are triggered, the reels will be locked and the wild will move one place to the left. Any cascading wins will continue until no new winning combinations are unlocked. The multiplier will then shift another place to the left. This process will continue to occur until the stacked wild symbol reaches the first reel.
The slot’s free spins feature is triggered with the appearance of five or more scatter symbols on the reels. The symbols do, however, accumulate over cascading wins, making the feature easier to unlock than it first appears. The feature awards 15 free spins with an additional 5 free spins awarded for a retrigger.
If you’re not keen on waiting around for the end of the ceremony, you can select to purchase a round of the slot’s free spins feature. You can select to purchase a round of free spins with a 2x, 3x, or 7x base win multiplier.
Is Kukulkan’s Queen slot royal or rotten?
GameArt has really stepped it up in the graphics department in 2023. All of the game provider’s recent titles have been fantastic looking and Kukulkan’s Queen slot is no exception. The slot is beautifully illustrated and animated, and its lead character is extremely memorable. The bonus features are also great with a significant amount of gameplay reserved for the base game and not only for free spins. It really is a great slot that manages to stand out despite utilizing a fairly well-worn theme.
Kukulkan’s Queen slot does, unfortunately, have very high volatility, meaning that you’ll be unable to count on small consistent wins while you wait for the rare big win. The slot’s buy bonus feature does, however, allow you to alleviate some of the boredom that may ensue. The slot has a fairly healthy 9,026x max multiplier that allows you to play for up to €338,475 in winnings when you’re betting at €37.50 a spin. The slot has an RTP of 96.06%.
If you’re looking for a few other interesting titles from GameArt, I recommend giving the creepy Circus of Horror or the quirky Piggy Holmes a try.
