Mississippi Queen Slot Machine
Mississippi Queen is Wild West themed online slot machine from Cayetano. The background is a tranquil river with green grass on either side, a blue sky above and a setting sun on the horizon. Birds sing to lull players into the peaceful scene as we set sail on a Western river cruise!
The symbols include the river cruise ship, bottles of whiskey and casino chips, while the features are plentiful and include wilds, free spins and a shooting bonus round. Join in the cruising fun on the Mississippi Queen!
Setting Sail…
This slot machine has 10 fixed paylines so you have the maximum number of ways to win on every spin on the Mississippi. You can change your bet by clicking on the ‘stake’ button to move up the scale from a minimum of €0.10 up to a maximum of €1,000 per spin, which is a regular betting range for Cayetano slot games. This comfortable range means that the slot can easily be played by low, mid and high rollers. You can also choose to play automatic spins with up to 25 available for hands-free gaming.
Mississippi Queen draws players into the theme with the river scene in the background, along with the evocative symbols on the reels. The music on each spin is gentle and not particularly Western in feel. The game would have been more effective had the general background music been more dramatic and Country and Western in style.
The icons here are related to the Wild West with the cowboy character wearing his stetson, a glamorous woman with jewels and ribbons in her hair, glittering casino chips, a tempting bottle of whiskey, crossed pistols, and the Mississippi Queen river cruiser looking majestic with its flags, stair cases and multiple decks.
Payouts on the Mississippi
While sailing on the famous river you can expect some decent payouts. The highest-paying symbol is the cowboy, who pays 1,000x your bet for 5 matching symbols. The cowboy is also the wild symbol in the game, which means he stands in for all the other, except the free spins and bonus symbols, to create more potential winning combinations.
The second-best symbol is the Mississippi Queen river cruiser, which awards 300x your bet for 5 symbols, while the whiskey bottle awards 200x your bet for 5 symbols. The casino chips pay up to 150x your bet for 5 symbols, while the Ace high card symbol awards up to 120x your bet for 5 matching symbols. The lowest paying symbols are the remaining high cards with the King paying up to 100x your bet, the Queen awarding up to 80x your bet, The Jack paying up to 60x your bet, the 10 paying up to 50x your bet and the 9 paying up to 30x your bet for 5 matching symbols.
Aim for the 500x Jackpot in the Shooting Bonus Game
If you spin 3 of the bonus symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 you trigger the Shooting Bonus round. The bonus symbol is the icon featuring the two crossed pistols, so this gives a clue as to the activity in the bonus round!
You are transported to a new screen where a number of multipliers are displayed down the left of the screen and face-down cards are displayed on the right. Excited shouts from the bustling audience accompany the game as you have to shoot one face-down card to win the hidden multiplier.
After this, you get another chance to hit a big payout with a shuffle card game – keep your eyes on the multipliers as the cards are shuffled before your eyes, then pick one to reveal your prize. All of this gameplay could see you walk away with the 500x jackpot!
Western Thrills in the Free Spins Round
If you spin at least 3 of the glamorous woman symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 you trigger the free spins round. This round awards 10 free spins along with extra cowboy wild symbols to give many more potential winning combinations. If you manage to spin screen filled with cowboys you could pocket a large number of dollars on your cruise! This round is where the Western theme comes to life with the upbeat music creating a great sense of fun.
Smooth River Entertainment with Western-Themed Bonus Rounds
Mississippi Queen has great potential with its Western river cruise theme. The symbols are evocative and the background scene sets a pleasant picture. However the twittering birdsong, lack of Western music or more dramatic sound effects makes this slot gentler than expected. The Western character comes through most strongly in the free spins round where the music takes over and the wild cowboy awards some good potential wins.
Perhaps the best part of the game is the Shooting Bonus round which adds another Western feel with the pistol and bar crowd noise. As with many Cayetano slot machines, the top jackpot here is a 500x multiplier. Overall, Mississippi Queen is an attractive slot with some lucrative potential payouts, but you have to wait for the free spins or bonus round to get to the Western character and boost the entertainment value.
