Aristocrat’s first edition Queen of the Nile online slot gained so much popularity that a second edition, Queen of the Nile II, followed suit. This Australian-based slot game developer initiated the Ancient Egypt theme for online slot players when they adapted their land-based Queen of the Nile slot machine into an online version.
Features in Queen of the Nile II Slot
Queen of the Nile II is a 5-reel, 25-payline sequel to Queen of the Nile. This video slot version has 5 more paylines than the first and a higher bet range of 25p to £50 per spin. The free spins feature is aptly modified for a more compelling game, and the graphics and sounds vastly improved, too. Symbols in this online slot are the usual Ancient Egypt representations such as lotus flower, pyramid, scarab, hieroglyphics, Pharaoh and the Queen of the Nile herself, Cleopatra.
Wild and Scatter
Cleopatra is the Wild in this video slot. The wild can replace all other symbols except the scatter for a winning combination that pays double. If there are two or more Wilds on an active payline, the Wild combo is paid out instead of the regular symbol combo if the Wild combination is more valuable.
The Scatter is the pyramid. Three or more Scatters on the reels will trigger the free games feature of this online slot.
Free Spins Bonus Round Feature
Once a player lands three or more pyramids on the reels, the free spins bonus is activated. The player gets paid for the three triggers and is then presented with a screen for the bonus round of free games. The player has four options to choose from: 5 free spins with a 5x multiplier; 10 free spins with 5x multiplier; 15 free spins with a 3x multiplier and 20 free spins with 2x multiplier. It should be noted that the higher the free spins, the lower the multiplier so the player must carefully consider this. The free spins can be re-triggered during this play.
Conclusion
The Queen of the Nile II online slot is a medium to high variance video slot so caution should be practice when betting. The graphics may seem a bit out-dated but the balance between the pot size and frequency of winning is just about right.
