Queen of the Nile Theme & Visuals
The Queen of the Nile game fills its reels with Egyptian royalty and gold. Cleopatra's Wild portrait sits in a blue-sky frame with a gold-and-blue border, and the Pyramid Scatter shows two golden pyramids under the same sky.
Premiums are a golden Pharaoh death mask, a Gold Ring, a golden Scarab beetle, the Eye of Horus and a Lotus Flower bouquet. A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 appear as Egyptian-style royals on parchment or sky tiles. Twenty numbered line markers run down both sides of the reels.
Pyramid Scatter Pays
Pyramid lands on all five reels and pays in any position, so it needs no payline. Two Pyramids pay 2, three pay 5, four pay 20 and five pay 400, each multiplied by the BET PER LINE value. The scatter pay is added to any line wins, and only the highest Scatter win counts on each spin.
All wins count only on played lines, except the Pyramid. Switch on 5 of the 20 lines and a Pyramid on an unlit row still pays across the whole grid.
Cleopatra does not substitute for the Pyramid. Three, four or five Pyramids also trigger the Free Games feature.
Queen of the Nile Bonus Features
The pokie has one bonus round, the Free Games feature. After any win you can also try the optional Red or Black Gamble.
15 Free Games
Three Pyramids anywhere on the reels start 15 free games at triple prizes. Four or five Pyramids award the same 15 free games, and the feature can be retriggered during the free games.
Bet and lines stay exactly as they were on the triggering spin. Start the bonus on 5 lines and all 15 free games play on those same 5 lines. The Pyramids that trigger the round also pay their normal scatter prize on that spin.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Trigger | 3–5 Pyramids, any position |
| Free Games | 15 |
| Prize multiplier | x3 on all wins |
| Retrigger | Yes |
Red or Black Gamble
Picking Gamble puts that return at stake in a card game.
The screen shows RED and BLACK buttons, a face-down card, a history row of the last 5 cards and BET and WIN counters. You can also collect the win straight away.
Cleopatra Wild
Cleopatra appears on all five reels and substitutes for every symbol except the Pyramid Scatter. One or more Cleopatras on a line and that line pays double. Two Wilds in the same winning line still give a single x2.
On her own, 5 Cleopatras return 9,000, 4 return 2,000, 3 return 200 and 2 return 10, times bet per line. That 9,000 is the biggest line award in the paytable. Only the highest win is paid on each line.
At A$1 per line, three Pharaohs on a line pay A$25. Two Pharaohs plus a Cleopatra on the same line pay A$50.
Symbols & Paytable
Line wins pay left to right, except the Pyramid, and wins on different lines are added together. Every value is a multiplier of bet per line, with the Cleopatra-doubled figure in brackets.
In the Queen of the Nile slot, only Cleopatra, Pyramid, Pharaoh, Gold Ring and the 9 pay for two of a kind. The 9 is the only card with that pay; 10, J, Q, K and A need at least three.
| Symbol | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 |
