Play Phoenix Queen for Free

The land of the rising sun and Phoenix is the theme of this online slot which is designed with a mixture of pale pastel colours making it easy to define the symbols. These include the standard cards from a poker deck ranging from 10 through to Ace and also include the 8 which is non-paying line symbol. You also get a Chinese Junk, Fan, Lantern and Peony Flower and, of course, the Phoenix Bird and the Phoenix Queen. In addition you will see the Sunrise symbol which triggers the free spins feature.

In this game it is the Phoenix Bird which is the Wild symbol and it substitutes for any icon on the reels to the exception of the Scatter which is the Sunrise. Be aware though the Wild only appears on reels 2 and 4. The Wilds do though attract a multiplier if they make up part of a winning combination. If you get 1 Wild taking part then the credits will be attributed with a 2x multiplier. Get 2 Wilds and this will increase the award to 4x.

The Sunrise Scatter is the icon which triggers the Phoenix Queen Bonus Feature and this is essentially a free spins award. The feature though does open on a new set of reels where you will see additional Phoenix Wilds added to reels 2 and 4. This is a multiple bonus because, for the duration of the free spins round the Wilds attract additional multipliers when they take part in any wins. If 1 Wild makes up part of a winning combination then you get a 3x multiplier. If the Wild appears twice then the multiplier soars to 9x.

You also get the opportunity in the Phoenix Queen Bonus to retrigger more free spins, which is always a loved feature by online gamblers. If you get 3 Sunrise Scatters falling in on the reels then you are awarded another 10 free spins. If you get 3 then this is increased to 15, and a maximum of 4 will earn you 25 free spins.

Line pays aren’t the highest in this online slot and can range from 2 up to a maximum of 300 if you get the Phoenix Queen falling in 5 times in a row. The Wild and Sunrise Scatter symbols offer no payouts in themselves for coming in to land on a line.

Phoenix Queen offers an RTP of 96% which is acceptable by the standards of most online gamblers. However the variance only comes in at low to medium which indicates that the larger payouts might be a little low. If you are looking for a 243 ways to win game that offers you a little better odds then another one to consider might be Pearly Bay by Superagames which, although offers an unknown RTP has a medium to high variance.

You also get in this online slot a baseline figure of 10 free spins which can increase to 20 in the feature. Again you get a multiplier on offer of 1 to 15 which more than matches the maximum provided by Phoenix Queen. Both games are triggered by symbols which appear on any reel and both have Wilds which are limited to reels 2 and 4. So, if you are looking for 243 ways to win gameplay with an increase chance of pulling in those bigger real money prizes, then Pearly Bay might well be the way to go.

Phoenix Queen online video slot is a nice game if a little lack lustre in design and animation. It clearly has plenty of ways to win but the bonus feature which is essentially where the free spins are garnered, is a little difficult to trigger and doesn’t come along too often. It is though a relatively inexpensive game to play despite the fact the rewards are respectively small but it does offer the chance to build up your coin credits with a comforting frequency.

Highly unlikely to be an online slot which will attract the high-rollers, Phoenix Queen should appeal to the many recreational online gamblers out there. However, they may be a little disappointed that the high number of free spins on offer are a little difficult to access on occasion.
