Queen of Alexandria Wowpot - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Format and Betting Options

Queen of Alexandria uses a pretty common 5-reel, 3-row format, and there’s 10 fixed paylines in play at all times; these paylines cannot be adjusted. As a result of this layout, the minimum bet in the video slot is just 0.10 credits while the maximum bet per spin is a whopping 200 credits/spin!

Queen of Alexandria’s RTP and Volatility

As you’d probably expect from a video slot that’s modelled pretty much exactly on Starburst, Queen of Alexandria is built around a fairly low variance math model. However, despite the low variance nature of Queen of Alexandria, we found, from writing this slot review, that the base-game can actually play quite harshly. It’s not overly uncommon to go for quite a few spins without hitting any of the expanding wild re-spins.

When it comes to the RTP of Queen of Alexandria, Neon Valley Studios have really let the team down here, we feel. That’s because Queen of Alexandria is built around a very low return to player of just 92.5%.

Bonus Features

In keeping with the fairly bland look and feel of Queen of Alexandria, the software provider behind the slot has chosen to keep things pretty basic in terms of the game’s bonuses and features, too. It’s evident that this is a video slot that centers all around the progressive jackpot - and, unfortunately, not much else.

Expanding Wild Re-spins

Cleopatra - the famed queen of Alexandria - is the main wild symbol in the slot, Queen of Alexandria, and she can land on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. When she lands in view - and forms part of a win - she will then expand, regardless of how much (or little) of her lands in view. Once she expands, she will then pay out any new winning combos that she helps to form.

Now, once any new wins have been formed, a free re-spin is awarded, and the wild reel will then lock in place. If, on the re-spin, any further Cleopatra symbols land in view, they will also lock in place - pay out any wins - and a further re-spin is awarded. Technically, it’s possible to get up to three re-spins in total.

Jackpot Feature

Queen of Alexandria really is all about the progressive jackpot bonus round. Once the progressive jackpot bonus round is activated, you’ll then be taken to a giant wheel of fortune-like spinning wheel. You simply get a spin of this wheel, and the notch will then land on one of the four colours; green, red, blue and yellow.

Whichever colour the wheel’s notch lands on is the colour of the progressive jackpot you’ll be awarded - and it’s the yellow segment of the wheel you’ll want to land (albeit the smallest) given that doing so awards the ‘WOWPOT’ jackpot which, at the time of writing, is worth over 4,000,000 Euros!

Queen of Alexandria Review

You don’t need to be a particularly seasoned video slot player to see that Queen of Alexandria is pretty much a carbon copy - mechanic wise - as NetEnt’s Starburst. Of course, this isn’t the end of the world but it does show a lack of creativity from the software provider’s side.

Though Queen of Alexandria may be lacking in originality, avid jackpot chasers are unlikely to mind as long as they have a chance to win big. The highest jackpot was worth an eight-figure amount at the time of publishing, and while it’s unlikely we’ll ever see the slot producing wins as big as those seen by Mega Moolah and its counterparts, at least it’s evident that the win-potential is there.

One of the biggest downsides of Queen of Alexandria in our opinion is the simple fact that the game is capped at just 500X per spin, excluding the progressive jackpot wins. That’s way lower than what we’d typically expect to see from a video slot in today’s day and age. Combined with the low return to player, this doesn’t bode overly well for the slot in terms of attracting a mainstream following.
