Bonus Rounds and Payouts
There are no playing card symbols in this game, instead the lower value
symbols are all Egyptian-themed icons. The lowest paying symbols in Cat Queen
still pay out quite decently. The Ankh, Eye of Horus, Seth, Scarab, Bastut and
Horus symbols all payout a total of 100 coins for 5 of a kind in a winning
formation on the reels. The Pharaoh is the highest paying standard symbol and
can award players with up to 200x their bet for 5 Pharaohs in a row.
The Free Spins Bonus feature is activated by landing 3 or more Pyramid
Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. This will now activate the free spins
round as well as the Free Games symbol. Players will automatically receive 15
Free Spins, where the reels will change color. Although there is no multiplier
during this round, the free spins can be easily re-triggered leading to a
further 15 free spins. The Pyramid Scatter also acts as an
individual symbol and awards between 5 and 50 coins for winning combinations.
Additional Game Features
The Wild symbol in this game is the Cat Queen herself. She has the power to
replace all the game’s symbols except for the Scatter symbol and the Free Games
symbol, thus creating higher chances of landing winning combinations. She also
acts as an individual symbol and can award players with up to 1000 coins for
landing 5 Cat Queen symbols in a row.
Cat Queen has a Gamble Feature that gives players the chance to double their
winnings if they wish to take the risk. Players can access the Gamble Feature by
pressing the ‘Double’ button. To win, players will have to play a game where
they will have to pick a card that is higher than the dealers. It is essentially
a game of luck. There is a secondary option for players to wager half of their
winnings for the chance at a 150% bet.
