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

Introduction

Queen of Dead by Betixon is a five-reel, three-row, 25-payline slot based around the Mexican Day of the Dead festival. This festival is a chance to remember and celebration lost loved ones and is filled with colour and joy.

Queen of Dead is a wonderful tribute to this tradition with lots of neon colours and beautifully designed graphics both on the reels and in the background.

To win in Queen of Dead, all you need to do is line up 3+ matching symbols along one of the 25 paylines. The longer your winning combination, the better the prizes! The Wild symbol is a sugar skull, and it can stand in for all other symbols, apart from the beautiful queen Scatter.

The Scatter symbol is the key to the free spins bonus round in Queen of the Dead. Find 3+ of these symbols to trigger 10x free spins with a generous 3x Multiplier. We’ll look at the free spins round later.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

As it’s a slot based around the Mexican Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), we would expect it to be filled with bright colours and beautiful graphics… and Queen of Dead certainly doesn’t disappoint! The reels are packed full of happy-looking skeletons representing deceased loved ones, and even the lower-valued symbols have been given a beautiful Dia de los Muertos makeover.

The soundtrack for Queen of Dead involves some traditional Mexican acoustic guitar, which does a great job of pulling you into the slot, while wins are accompanied by little trills.

Our only criticism with the design of this slot would be that the heavily stocked bar that makes up the background, despite being really nicely illustrated, does clash a little with the symbols on the reels, giving the slot a slightly cluttered appearance.

Bet Sizes & Paytable

Wagers can be placed in Queen of Dead from 0.25 up to 25.00 credits per spin. This is a relatively small betting range and might not appeal to very high rollers, although lower maximum bets do tend to mean you can hold out longer for those big prizes!

The top prizes in Queen of Dead occur when you land five matching symbols along one of the 25 paylines, with or without a Wild substitution. Excluding any Multipliers, here are the top prizes:

Female Skeleton: 450

The main bonus feature in Queen of Dead is the free spins bonus round. This round is triggered with 3+ appearances of the Scatter in any position and will award you with 10x free spins that can be retriggered an infinite number of times with the appearance of 3+ more Scatters.

During the free spins, all winnings will be awarded a 3x Multiplier, making this a really rewarding bonus round.

Conclusion

Overall, we thought Queen of Dead was a beautifully designed and well-executed game with a lucrative bonus round and great - albeit slightly cluttered - graphics that do a good job of paying tribute to such an important Mexican festival.
