Step into a world of ancient royalty and with Playson’s Solar Queen, an exciting take on the theme of Ancient Egypt with a female monarch. With so many slots focusing on the kings of Egypt, this makes a nice change and a step towards a semblance of gender equality in the genre.

Aside from the refreshing take on a familiar theme, Playson has also created an interesting combination of features. The most innovative is the Flaming Frames feature, which we believe completely transforms this game experience.

Solar Queen bonus features

The Solar Queen game is set against a night time Egyptian landscape, which is a little ironic given the slot’s name. We can see the A through to 10 royal suits as low value symbols. On the higher end of the paytable are 6 hieroglyph symbols.

The highest value symbol is the Queen herself and she appears in a stacked formation, occupying multiple symbol spaces. Landing 5 of this symbol on a payline will award with 10 times the stake.

Wilds

The Wild symbol substitutes for all standard symbols and has the same payout value as the Queen, rewarding with 0.1, 1, 2.5 or 10 times the stake for 2, 3, 4 or 5 on a payline, respectively.

Flaming Frames feature

The sun symbol triggers this game’s most innovative feature, the Flaming Frames. The game includes cycles of 10 spins. Each time a sun symbol lands, the Flaming Frames are activated around that symbol space.

After 10 spins, all the symbols within the spaces highlighted by the Flaming Frames become Wilds. If another sun symbol lands within an active Flaming Frame, the multiplier factor increases by x1. After ten spins, the reels return to their normal, flame-free state.

Solar Queen Free Spins

The free spins feature is activated by landing 3 Scatter symbols, which immediately award 10 free rounds. During these rounds, any sun symbol will be turned into a Sticky Wild, which then locks into its position for the duration of the feature. If a multiplier is active when free spins are triggered, the multiplier persists throughout the free spins.

Solar Queen jackpot

There is no jackpot feature available on Solar Queen.

RTP

Solar Queen has an RTP of 95.78% and a medium-high variance. This means that players should see larger wins, less frequently and Solar Queen could well suit players after a bit more risk in their gameplay.
