Ancient Egypt is a popular theme in the online gaming world, as there is just so much to explore in this vast civilization at the edge of the Nile. There are many treasures to be found along the fertile delta, such as golden statues and shiny gems, especially when you spin the reels of the exciting jackpot slot game, Queen of Alexandria!

Game overview

Queen of Alexandria is brought to you by well-known game developer Microgaming, in collaboration with Neon Valley Studios, a partnership that has created several well-known casino games. 

Like many other online slots, Queen of Alexandria features a range of popular game mechanics, which you may be familiar with from playing prominent games like Starburst. 

The game has a 5×3-reel structure, with 10 directional lines, or paylines, which can bring in winning combinations from both sides, thanks to the “win both ways” feature! With medium volatility and an upbeat soundtrack, there is more than enough excitement in this slot to offer all players an entertaining experience.

There are also some exciting bonus features to look forward to, which include expanding wild respins!

How to play

This game is very similar to other kinds of online slot machines, so if you’re a seasoned player, you’ll know exactly how to get straight down to placing your bets and clicking the “play” button. 

If this is the first time you’re playing real online slots, it’s very easy to get started! Once you’re in the game, all you need to do is click on the “+” or “-” buttons at the bottom of the screen to select your bet level. This confirms the amount you are going to bet on each spin, which all forms part of managing your bankroll (or the number of credits you have budgeted to spend on a game.) 

Graphics

If you play a lot of online casino slots, you’ll notice that much effort has gone into creating superb, life-like graphics, especially when it comes to the vivacious representation of Queen Cleopatra, as her symbol fills the reels as an expanding wild. It almost feels as if she’s alive and breathing right in front of you, thanks to high-quality motion graphics. 

The background of the game is also an insight into a lush scene from ancient Alexandria, with richly decorated pillars, swaying palms, and a majestic pyramid in the background, which you’ll get to appreciate more in the jackpot wheel bonus round. 

Other graphic elements on the reels include 5 brightly colored gemstones with different hieroglyphic symbols on them, an embellished lucky number 7, and a very regal-looking golden BAR statuette of the cat god Bastet (a prominent feline deity, and the most lucrative symbol.)

Features

We’ve mentioned some of the features of this game already, but to give you some more details, one of the most noticeable – and it’s one that you should see come up pretty often on the reels – is the expanding wild feature. When you land the symbol of the exquisite Queen Cleopatra wild on reels 2, 3, and 4, this symbol will expand and give you an automatic free respin.

This could lead to some lavish wins, and the possibility of 3 successive respins in a row if you happen to land 3 Cleopatra wilds on the middle reels in quick succession!

Bonuses and jackpots

Of course, as the name suggests, Queen of Alexandria is a “WowPot,” or jackpot slot, depending on which version you are playing, so naturally, this will be considered the most lucrative feature! It’s worth bearing in mind that the RTP (return to player) for this game is 92.5%, which is relatively low for an online slot, but indicates that while wins are less frequent, they tend to be bigger when they do come.

As you play, you’ll notice sparkling diamond symbols landing on the reels and being swept away into a richly embellished bowl to the left-hand side of your screen. There’s no set number of diamonds to collect, but as you do, the progressive jackpots will increase, and the jackpot wheel will be triggered randomly in the game.

When this feature is activated, you’ll be taken to a different screen, where you can fully appreciate the sun beaming down on a captivating ancient paradise. Once you’re there, you then click the wheel and are guaranteed to win either the Mini, Minor, Major, or Wowpot/Mega jackpot!
