Solar Queen Megaways

Over and over, slot developers are coming back to one of the most iconic characters in history, Cleopatra. She has inspired movies, plays, books, paintings and many, many slot machines. In Solar Queen Megaways™, queen Cleo looks majestic and empowered, as we all like to imagine her. The way Playson decided to execute the theme of Ancient Egypt is brighter and bolder than we are used to seeing from other providers. In this particular game, a large portion of the screen looks like it is on fire, the colors are vibrant and the entire design feels more modern. If you compare the previous Egyptian-themed Megaways™ slot from Playson, Legend of Cleopatra Megaways™, you can tell the graphics do look alike.

In the background, you can see palm trees and pyramids, whereas the reels themselves are hugged by the Nile and palace walls. The contrast between red, bright orange and blue looks so well, so the visuals are definitely a plus for the game. The paytable has some low-paying icons, the standard lineup from 10 to Ace.

The rest of the symbols are theme-related, and they go from ibis, falcon, cat and lion symbols to Anubis and Horus, famous Egyptian gods. These two will issue a payout worth 1.5x your stake and their value is just slightly lower than what the queen Cleopatra herself is willing to pay. For 5 Cleopatras in adjacent reels, you will get a 2x the stake payout.

Let’s not forget about extra symbols, we have the Wild and the Scatter, which is represented by the staple in nearly all Egyptian slots – the scarab beetle. The Sun makes an appearance as a special symbol without base game payouts.

Overall, you can get wins by lining up two or more identical symbols on consecutive reels from leftmost to rightmost. With each spin, you will generate a random number of spins from 2 to 6 across the 5 available reels. In the worst scenario, you will have 32 winning ways at your disposal, which isn’t awful but, of course, the goal is to reach the maximum of 7,776 ways.

Solar Queen Megaways™ is still a brand-new game, so we couldn’t yet run any longstanding tests on it, but according to the official developer’s statement, the game packs a theoretical return rate of 95.84%. Barely reaching that industry average. It is not an impressive percentage, but Legend of Cleopatra Megaways™ has the same RTP and it did not do it any harm so far. The Solar Queen Megaways™ slot appeals to players who are looking for volatile machines. Labelled as highly volatile, the game delivers less frequent, but substantial wins.

You play Solar Queen Megaways™ in the same way you would play any other slot – hit the spin button and hope for the best! Of course, if you are an avid player and a Megaways™ slots fan, you know there is a bit more than just that. Before you can actually start spinning, you should familiarize yourself with the game, see what options and features the provider is giving you. One of the important tools you’ll use is the bet size adjuster, and Solar Queen supports gameplay from 20c to €100 per spin.

Unfortunately, there won’t be any cascading reels that appear in Legend of Cleopatra Megaways™. Instead, other features enrich the session, namely Win Multipliers, Flaming Frames and some Stacked Symbols action. Pay attention to the spins counter in the top left corner of the reels.

As soon as the 10-spin cycle is finished, the frames created by the special Sun symbol will become Wilds and pay out guaranteed. Apart from this, the Sun symbol can add a win multiplier to any payouts, because every time a Sun appears in the existing Flaming Frame the multiplier increases by 1.

The developers also paid much attention to how the game performs on mobile, so the software has been completely optimized for your Android or iOS device.

Apart from the Flaming Frames and the Stacked symbols which power up more winnings than one would normally expect, Solar Queen Megaways™ brings a Free Spins round and a possibility to buy free spins if you get tired of waiting for the feature to trigger.

The key to the free play round is the Scatter scarab. Make sure you land them on reels 1, 3 and 5 during the base game. Collect three on the same spin and you will activate the Free Spins mode with 10 free spins. During the free spins, Sun symbols will immediately transform into Sticky Wilds and remain on the reels for the duration of the feature.

The Free Spins cannot be retriggered, sadly. However, there is a way of playing out more free spins by making use of the Buy Bonus feature. The button is on the side of the reels and can be used between any spin. A round of 10 free spins costs 100x the total bet, and the multiplier starts at x1. The progressive Win Multiplier can make a difference and is a nice addition to the special features lineup of the Solar Queen Megaways™ online slot.

Another blend of the Megaways™ mechanic and standard video slot features, Solar Queen Megaways™ is an okay slot from Playson. It fits the provider’s aesthetic and it sits well in its existing portfolio. For the player, however, we can’t say it is revolutionary. While it may appeal to Egyptology fans, it does not have a huge payout potential. The game’s RTP should be higher and it hasn’t been changed enough to really separate itself from the original.

It feels like its full Megaways™ form hasn’t been achieved, which is a shame. Not a badly executed game, nevertheless, and the Flaming Frames are a nice touch. We do not see it topping the classic, Queen of Riches Megaways™ from Big Time Gaming, however.
