Queen of the Nile Slot Review

Finding a woman who shares your interests can be challenging, especially if your passion is boozing šŸ·. But that wasnā€™t a problem for celebrated couple Cleopatra and Mark Anthony.

The two formed a drinking society, which they labeled Inimitable Livers, which was renowned for hedonistic binges and feasting. šŸŗšŸ¤šŸ–šŸ‰

Some reports say that Cleo wasnā€™t as hot as sheā€™s been made out to be, and that she had manly features and a large, hooked nose.

The Cleopatra in Queen of the Nile slot from Popiplay is a belter šŸ˜, as they say in the land of kippers and high tea, but thatā€™s not the best thing about this game. That honor would fall to the $414,100 top prize. Ka-ching! šŸ’°

Gameplay

Egyptian-themed games have been done to death, but never have I seen one that looks this incredible! And, itā€™s Egyptian meets horror, so itā€™s not your typical stuff, either. Iā€™m loving it!

The 5x3 grid finds itself in what looks like a grim and grimy London street scene from when Jack the Ripper used to ply his trade.

There doesnā€™t appear to be a backstory to the game, but the high-paying symbols are a brunette babe ā€“ Cleopatra ā€“ Anubis, a mummy, a monocled gent in a bowler hat, and a frightened explorer-slash-Egyptologist.

But thereā€™s more to this game than mere looks and charm. It packs one helluva punch with its $414,100 top prize and 10,100x max multiplier, all of which is off the back of a medium to high volatility rate. The RTPRTP stands for ā€œReturn to Player.ā€ The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

is 97.11%
and there are 15 paylines.

The Wild is a Scarab beetle type of thing that replaces all symbols other than Scatters (bracelets that glow luminous green). But thereā€™s more to Wilds than this, which Iā€™ll chat about in the features section.

Features

WILD MULTIPLIER:

So you know the basics about the Wild symbol, but what I havenā€™t yet mentioned is that youā€™ll be awarded multipliers based on the number of Wilds that are involved in a win. One Wild awards a 2x multiplier, 2 Wilds gets you a 4x multiplier, 3 Wilds = 8x, 4 Wilds = 16x, and 5 Wilds = 32x.

FREE SPINS:

Nailing 3 or more Scatters in the base game triggers this feature, and youā€™ll see that Scatters are collected in a cylindrical thing to the left of the screen.

As for how many spins you get, that depends wholly on how many triggering Scatters you land: 3 Scatters = 10 spins, 4 Scatters = 15 spins, and 5 Scatters = 20 spins.

Landing 3 additional Scatters during the round awards 10 more spins.

RE-SPINS:

A win during the Free Spins round ā€“ and by that I mean any win ā€“ will activate the re-spin feature. The winning symbols will stay locked in position, and the other symbols will spin.

The Re-spin plays out for as long as youā€™re scoring wins. So, the upshot of this is that you get an extended chance to score wins, and thatā€™s never a bad thing!

BUY BONUS:

  • Queens Wild Blessing: pay 75x and youā€™ll be guaranteed a minimum of 1 Wild during a Free Spins round

  • Double Wild Delight: pay 170x for the same as the above but with 2 Wilds guaranteed

  • Triple Wild Mirage: pay 390x for 3 Wilds, minimum, during a Free Spins round

Performance

I put Queen of the Nile slot through its paces and not once did it set a foot wrong.

Maximum Win

A combination of a $41 max bet with the 10,100x max multiplier results in a $414,100 payday. As for the minimum bet, thatā€™s $0.10.

Conclusion

Popiplay has created a stunning-looking game that charmingly deviates from the norm. But looks arenā€™t what weā€™re after, ultimately, so can Queen of the Nile slot offer up some riches?

The potential is there to nail some nice Wild multipliers, and the Re-spin feature can help rack up some mega wins. Combining all of these can see you richly rewarded.

Iā€™m happy that the studio has added a Buy Bonus, but things can get super expensive if you want 2 or 3 guaranteed Wilds to land during Free Spins. However, itā€™s also possible to score big time ā€“ this is gambling, after all.

I reckon our current game has more moolah-making power than Anaki Skywalker slot, also from Popiplay, but that gameā€™s selling point is its low volatility rate coupled with a $420,000 top prize.
