Queen of the Nile II

An ancient theme

This game has an Ancient Egyptian theme, and even though this subject has been tried and tested by many other slots, Aristocrat does a great job of adding cool new graphics and sounds to this slot. To bring it to life, the game focuses on the historical character of Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile. You will certainly want her to make an appearance on your reels because when she does, you will see your prizes being doubled.

This sequel builds on the original slot’s success by making sure players still feel some familiarities with the original. You will still find yourself journeying through Ancient Egypt to uncover your treasures, building up cash piles along the way. If you are a fan of the previous slot, you’ll notice that the popular pyramids remain, as do some of the other lavish treasures that you discover on your quest. However, everything has been given a design overhaul, with the card symbols now appearing as though they have been unearthed from the sand, for example.

Other icons that you’ll find throughout the game include the scarab beetle and pharaohs, while your wild symbol is Cleopatra herself and your scatter is the pyramid. In this game, the wild will substitute for all of the other icons except for the scatter.

Bountiful bonuses

This slot is a highly rewarding one when you consider how many bonus features are on offer. Triggered by the game’s icons, you’ll find that each time Cleopatra substitutes a symbol on a winning payline, your prize will be multiplied by two.

Furthermore, when you get three pyramid symbols, you’ll trigger the bonus feature of this slot, which results in free games. The number of scatters on your reels will determine the number of free spins you get. The number of free games available are 5, 10, 15 or 20, with each offering you a multiplier of 2, 3, 5 and 10 respectively.

Gambler's paradise

There is also a gamble feature that allows you to try your luck when you get a win. Double or quadruple amounts are available if you can guess the card color or suit correctly. This gamble feature becomes available with each win you get. Simply click on the gamble button and you’ll be taken to a separate screen where you can choose how much you want to gamble. You can gamble up to 5 times on this, but one wrong move and your treasures will be buried for all eternity.

Low- to mid-rollers will be pleased to learn that this game’s maximum available bet is 50 and its coin values range from 0.01 to 2.
