Queen of the Skies

Players seeking the best online slots will want to look closely at Queen of the Skies, the aviatrix slot released by Spin Games.

This video slot pays homage to Amelia Earhart, the famous flyer whose deeds and disappearance captivated the world in her day, and ever since.

So does this title soar, or come crashing down to Earth? Read on to find out.

Theme

Amelia Earhart dominated the media throughout her life, and only more so in her death. As the first woman aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic, she inspired countless women and girls to new levels of achievement. She mysteriously disappeared over the Pacific Ocean in 1937, and has been a point of cultural obsession ever since.

What does this mean for players?

First and foremost, it means a vintage visual design that makes for a fresh look. From the old-school red biplanes and classic suitcases among the gaming symbols to the rumbly engine sounds of the background, the sense of throwback is palpable and enjoyable.

Players will want to look out for Ms. Earhart herself, who acts as wild, substituting for other symbols to form winning combinations.

This title’s most important symbol, though…

… is the blue globe symbol. It acts as scatter, triggering the Feature Game when three or more appear on the reels.
