Once upon a time, someone made a slot about Cleopatra and ever since then everyone else has made one as well. Though Queen of Gold by Pragmatic Play doesn’t actually mention whether this is about Cleopatra or not it is quite easy to see where the influence comes from. It’s not like there is even room for slots of this type in the markets anymore. That is not to say that the game would be any worse than any of the other Egypt themed slots, it’s just that it’s been done already.
Theme
Egypt, pyramids, queens, gold, cats, and so forth. It’s not that the graphics would be bad; the animations especially roll quite smoothly in the background. The problem is that having played a hundred other games like this, such as Throne of Egypt, Cleopatra’s Gold, or Mega Moolah Isis (nope, nothing to do with the terrorist group), it offers absolutely nothing new. You know what to expect here. In addition, the sound effects are not of the best quality.
Betting Options and Functions
So the theme is not that good of an idea, but what about the slot itself? It’s true, after all, that the theme doesn’t really matter if the money keeps flowing. If you have played Pragmatic Play games before then you should be familiar with the betting system. Simply choose the number of coins, and then separately the value of those coins, that you are going to be betting on each of the 25 fixed paylines. Like always, the wins are counted from left to right.
Variance here is extremely high. RTP is pretty decent, so when you do land combos the wins are worth it. The basic wins don’t look all that good, topping out at 200 times your line bet. This is because the special features really kick multipliers and free spins into an overdrive.
Features
Get the bonus symbols on the right reels and you will be awarded with ten free spins. You also get a return of your total bet per scatter symbol you land. During free spins, the sixth reel with all the multipliers comes into play, with all the wins of the round subject to the selected multiplier.
The most important feature here is the progressive game. There are six levels that you can advance through. To do this you need to catch Cleopatra symbols; this is done by moving the selector around the screen. Or just leaving it where it is; up to luck anyway. You have 25 spins to collect five symbols, which advances the game to the next level. Each time you advance a level the multipliers on the sixth reel increase. The more you play the higher your wins.
Our Take
The most interesting concept here is the sixth reel with multipliers and the progressive game that allows you to increase those multipliers. This means that the more you play the higher chance you have of winning it big. Unfortunately, the rest of the game isn’t really worth the time and money it takes to get to the top of the game.
