The action of Solar Queen Megaways takes place on the outskirts of an oasis, or perhaps on the banks of the Nile, where you can see water lilies and in the background the Pyramids and some palm trees. The background emits different shades of blue, from aquamarine to midnight blue, which are superimposed on the screen in a rather graceful way, while the soundtrack recalls the atmosphere of Ancient Egypt.
Layout
The game features a 5-reel interface and rows with 2 to 6 symbols. Each spin delivers from 32 to 7776 ways to trigger a win with at least 2 identical symbols lined up from left to right. Statistically, the game comes with an RTP of 95.85% and a high volatility. You will be able to bet on each spin from $0.20 to $100.
The symbols are focused on Egypt, deities and pharaohs with Cleopatra are the strong symbols. Horus and Anubis pay a little less, and the lion, cat, owl and bird symbols are with the lowest value regarding the premium symbols. The A, K, Q, J and 10 symbols pay a maximum of 0.50x the bet.
There are also three special symbols including the Wild, Scatter and Sun.
Features
Free Spins
3 Scatters on the screen will grant you 10 free spins. When Sun symbols appear on the reels during Free Spins, they will immediately turn into Sticky Wilds locked in place. A x1 multiplier increases each time a sun appears on a position occupied by a Wild.
If you don’t want to wait to activate the free spins, you can purchase the feature for 100x the total bet.
Flaming Frames during Free Spins
Flaming Frames can be activated and remain active for a cycle of 10 spins.
Each sun symbol that appears on a reel activates a Flaming Frame which remains locked in position until the end of the cycle. On the tenth spin, all Flaming Frames on the screen will turn into Wilds.
Winning Multipliers during Free Spins
The sun can also increase the winning potential with a progressive win multiplier. The multiplier increases by x1 each time a sun appears in an existing Flaming Frame. This multiplier is applied to all wins and is displayed in the center above the reels. When the free spins start, the current multiplier is transferred and will be restored at the end of the bonus.
Overall
Solar Queen Megaways slot machine brings together a bit of all the features that are commonly done in Playson games. The theme is not necessarily unique but it is well done, however if you are looking for novelty, this may not be the destination we will recommend first.
