Game Overview
There was a time not so long ago when online slot players waited with bated breath each time a new Megaways slot was released in anticipation of what features it would have and how big the potential wins might be. As with all good things, they eventually come to an end and with over 200 slot games now featuring the reel modifying mechanic, the Playtech slot Sky Queen Megaways could be another generic title to add to the masses. A quick stat breakdown before we get into the thick of it reveals a 5-reel slot with up to 12,348 ways to win, an RTP of 95.97%, and a maximum win of 5,000x bet.
So what lies in store for prospective players who are eyeing up Sky Queen Megaways as their latest slot to try out? To be honest, there’s a fair bit to get stuck into with the game offering levels of feature bets, each guaranteeing a minimum amount of ways per spin. Mystery symbols are a big part of the slot, too, which will all transform into the same randomly selected symbol from the paytable when they land in view. Then we come to the main features, where a free spins bonus will enhance the ability of the mystery symbols, and the Fire Blaze hold and respin feature with fixed jackpots up to 2,000x bet up for grabs.
We might be presented with quite a generic theme and features we’ve all seen before, but Playtech are a popular slot developer, so they do have some credit in the bank here at Demoslot and with their large fanbase. So, before you make a final judgement, why not try out our Sky Queen Megaways demo slot. It’s free to play below.
Sky Queen Megaways Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
The Aztec theme has to be up there as one of those that have been used the most in the creation of online slots, and to be fair; there have been several developers who have seen huge success from it. We have countless Pragmatic Play slots that have utilised this theme over the years, with Aztec Bonanza being a standout title from the provider, whilst PGslot has also dabbled in the niche with a game of their own titled Aztec Treasure, so Playtech most certainly has their work cut out for them if they are to gain any traction in the genre with Sky Queen Megaways. Let’s uncover more of what it has to offer players, starting with the returns you can expect to see from the paytable.
It’s not a particularly great start to the pays section with the top symbol, the Leopard, only returning 5x the bet for a five of a kind win. Next, we have the Aztec symbol and Deity both returning 2x for a completed payline, with the Bowl finishing off the premium symbols with a payout of 1x bet for a line of five. Dropping down to the lower pays of the game, we find the industry standard royals with the Ace, King, Queen, Jack and Ten; all sharing pays off 0.5x for a winning combo of five. The game also features the Sky Queen as the Wild symbol, and she will substitute for all regular symbols but will only appear on reels 2, 3, and 4.
Regular Players of Playtech slots will know the developer offers a wide range of betting options, and this can again be seen on Sky Queen Megaways, with a standard minimum bet of €0.10 a spin being offered, whilst high rollers can dig deep with bets of up to €500 per press.
Sky Queen Megaways Slot Base Game
There’s a little more to the reel formation and layout of Sky Queen Megaways than first meets the eye, but I’ll come to that in the next section. If you’re only interested in playing the standard game, reels 1 through 5 can only contain 2 – 5 symbols, with the upper reel also adding an extra position to reels 2, 3, and 4. This setup allows the standard game to generate a maximum of 5,400 ways to win per spin. Wins are awarded if three matching symbols land on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel first.
Feature Bet
If you enable the feature bet, the price to play will increase, but you are guaranteed to receive more winning ways on the reels, as explained:
- No Feature Bet: 108 to 5,400 ways to win per spin
- Feature Bet: 576 to 12,348 ways to win per spin. Costs 1.8x bet.
- Max Ways Feature Bet: 12,348 ways to win on ever spin. Costs 10x bet.
Mystery Symbol
The Door symbol is the mystery symbol in the game, and any that are in view when a spin has ended will all transform into the same randomly selected symbol from the paytable.
Sky Queen Megaways Slot Bonus Features
Sky Queen Megaways has two bonus features that can be triggered, which are the free spins bonus and the Fire Blaze Hold & Respin Feature. How do they work? Let me explain below.
Free Spins Feature
Landing three or more scatter symbols in view will trigger the free spins bonus and award you 6 spins to begin. During this feature, the Door Mystery symbol lands with more regularity, and if it appears in the upper escalating reel, the whole reel below it will transform into mystery symbols. The feature can be triggered if three or more scatters land in view, adding 6 more spins to your current total.
Fire Blaze Hold & Respin Feature
If six or more of the Sun Scatter Symbols land, the Fire Hold & Blaze Respin feature will be triggered, and 3 respins will be awarded. During the feature, the number of symbol positions remains the same as it was for the spin that triggered the feature. Any Sun symbols that trigger the feature and the prizes that appear on them are held in position throughout the bonus.
Each Sun symbol that landed during the spin that triggered the feature and lands during the respins will have either a cash prize (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15 or 50 base total bet) or a Star. Any new Sun symbols that land will reset the spin count back to three, and when the feature ends, all Star symbols will spin to reveal a Mini (20x) Minor (100x) Major (500x) or Grand (2000x) jackpot.
Pros
- Two bonus rounds can be triggered.
- The feature bet allows those who like to take a risk to ramp up the volatility.
Cons
- Unimaginative theme.
- The better part of the game can only be unlocked for those wanting to take a much larger risk.
Sky Queen Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts
There's not really too much on Sky Queen Megaways to get you overly excited, but the one main point of interest is the Feature Bet option. If you've got deep pockets and are willing to spin at 10x the standard bet, you'll be in with a chance of hitting the bigger wins the slot has to offer.
