Clash of Queens Slots
To find a queen without a king, they say she plays guitars and cries and sing…
Led Zeppelin were eternally after such a queen, and so are we. But romance aside, queens do not always have to be so mellow. In fact, if books like Game of Thrones have taught us anything, a fierce queen is as much of an asset for people as a stalwart king.
And talking of fierce queens, you won’t find a bunch finer than the one you are about to discover in the Wonderland. Sure, the days may be dark and gloomy, but it is through the shrewd tactics and sheer willpower of these queens, a bright new dawn will arise. Of course, we will home in on the queen to reign all other queens, but that’s a different story. Special symbols, free spins and bonus rounds, Clash of Queens by Genesis Gaming is as much a kickass slot as any we have ever reviewed including their other titles like Bloodlines.
A Perfect Way to Gain Some Control
The Wonderland can be a tricky place to live in, let alone rule. So, credit where it’s due – our queens deserve a round of heavy applause.
But who is it really that you owe your allegiance to? That’s a million dollar question, and if you get the answer right, you might just walk home a richer man.
Genesis Gaming slots have got all of us hooked to some strong gameplay tactics, innovative graphical ideas and intriguing theme manipulations. That’s why, a slot like Clash of Queens is something we actually looked forward to reviewing, and it surely didn’t disappoint us.
However, if there was one weak link, it has to be the simplistic 2D outlook of the slot. It simply doesn’t hold through, especially when we are so used to playing graphics heavy 3D slots where user engagement is deep and thorough. So, it is quite reasonable of users to expect something more, especially considering that this slot was released in the beginning of 2016. If it is to be any consolation, however, the bespoke strategy of using parallax effects works in the favour of the slot.
Apart from that, however, Clash of Queens is an entertaining slot that does its best to pay out nicely, despite limited opportunities.
What else to expect?
On the gameplay front, you can expect a nice, fair and square blend of familiarity and some creativity. It uses 5 standard reels that are well accompanied by 25 flexible paylines. It has become increasingly rare to find flexible paylines these days, and that is why, this feature stands out. What this also means for slotters is that they have an extra avenue to chime in with their slot skills, rather than blatantly and helplessly rely on their luck for the whole time.
You can put up to 10 credits at stake, per line, per spin. So, up to 250 slot credits can be utilised if you want to go all guns blazing – not a bad number, we say! Remember, though – it all depends upon how good you are at marginalising lines and optimising profits. If you are a newcomer, you might be better off just playing your normal safe game, and focus on recovering your wagers first, while posting miniature profits. One thing is for sure, there are lots of ways to make yourself end up on the right side of the luck-line here, if you know how.
What is on the line?
There are regular card symbols making up the bulk of symbol-sphere. Other ‘Alice in Wonderland’ types of symbols (twin heads, nasty potatoes, rabbits and whatnot) further complete the quorum. As far as the base game is concerned, the highest bounty that is on the line for 5-on-5 kind of combos is 750 coins. Not a lot – we agree, but it’s enough to get you going.
The wild and scatter offer familiar bounties. Things heat up soon though, because the wild flat-out doubles your respective winnings for the line, while the scatter can offer multipliers up to 10x.
The Clash of Queens battle feature is unlocked when you get the White and Red Queen symbol on the first and the fifth reel.
All bow to the Queen
The Clash of Queens battle bonus feature is the best thing to happen to this slot. With this, from what we have seen, you can easily double your total winnings, and maybe get a handful of extra multipliers to work with.
All in all, this is a slot that is not to be missed, especially if you are a good percentage player who knows how to manipulate paylines to perfection. This game sits well in the range of slots from this manufacturer which are unusual, like Booty Time.
