Golden Queen Slot Review

Every time I encounter a slot that has an Egyptian theme, I conjure up all the scenarios that could play out. Normally I am hugely disappointed as they are all quite one dimensional. As I write this, I have not even peeked at this slot. I imagine a very glamorous queen surrounded by all the riches that an Egyptian queen would have. My real question though, is why game providers are so obsessed with Egypt? I don't know about ancient Egypt, but modern-day Egypt is nothing close to what is depicted on the million and one Egyptian themed slots! 40 degrees at 2 am in the morning, loads of mosquitoes and indeed no evidence of the gold-paved streets.
However, let's see what IGT has to offer on the subject!

A surprisingly serene game. The music will charm you into a state of hypnosis if you are not careful. Visiting Egypt on the reels has never been a more peaceful experience. A sunset scene of the pyramid landscape is visible in the background, which changes to a night scene of Tutankhamun's Tomb. The characters on the reels are vibrant in color and detailed in animation. The progressive game and free spin round make for added interest.

You can navigate your way through the catacombs on your laptop, mobile device, and tablet.

Gameplay

The 50 paylines on offer open up great opportunities to win, but was even more exciting is that over, and above the 5 reels, there is a special 6th reel which offers a multiplier.

On the reels, you will find the exquisite Cleopatra and 3 of her gods all magnificently depicted in exquisite detail. Adding to the reels and the medium playing characters are the lower symbols in the form of Ace, King, Queen.
The important prize generating symbols are the Wild which is Tuttenkamens Head. The Wild can replace all symbols except the Bonus.
The Bonus Logo is a diamond pyramid.

The controls are standard IGT controls with all the necessary buttons available to navigate your way to the Golden Queen.

Features

Land 3 Bonus symbols and the Free Spin Round will be triggered. You will receive 10 free spins. Free spins can be retriggered during this round, and this feature is unlimited.
An exciting added feature is the 6th reel which offers a multiplier element and a unique joker symbol. During the free spin round, only multipliers will appear on the 6th reel and the multiplier that lands will apply to the win.

Unique Features

Golden Queen offers a progressive game. In this game, you have to collect point to move through the 6 levels. You do this by manually picking a spot on the reels, and each time Cleopatra lands in that spot you earn a point.
You need 5 points to advance to the next level within 25 spins, or else you can land a Joker in the 6th reel. This will also move you up. The 6th level is a super level.
On the Super Level instead of needing to get 5 points in 25 spins, the number of remaining spins is reset to 25 spins.
This game is suspended if you trigger a free spin round until your free spin round is finished. During the free spin round, your multiplier on the 6th reel will apply.

Performance

This was not another boring Egyptian slot. The animation was brilliant, the gaming features and opportunities to win were fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed my sojourn into this North African country and will most definitely return. Thank you, IGT for restoring my faith in Egyptian slots.

Conclusion

I highly recommend this to an extensive range of players. Potential archeologists, new comers, and mostly the seasoned player. They especially will love the P]progressive game, 6th reel and free spins. All of which brings regular and sizeable reward.
