Rhyming Reels: Queen of Hearts Slot

Software providers tend to base their slots on different themes such as history, celebrities, comic books, animals and so on. In the reviewed game, Microgaming moved beyond the traditional approach and took an old English nursery rhyme as a centerpiece for the slot. The short poem is about the Queen of Hearts who made some tarts, and these tarts were later stolen by the Knave of Hearts. Symbols used in the slot give graphic representation of the poem. On the reels, you will see the Queen herself, a tray of tarts and a cunning Knave. Alongside the themed icons, there are five card symbols from 10 to Ace; these pay x3 to x100 for five of a kind. This 5-reel 30-payline slot promises players fun time on the reels because it has a lively theme, dramatic imagery and frequent (though not big) payouts.

Betting options are rather focused on low-rollers as the minimum and maximum bet amounts are $0.30 and $15 per spin. The top three payouts for matching regular symbols are $500 (five Queens), $400 (five Knaves) and $300 (five Female Servants). Special symbols (see below) pay higher.

Bonus features

Golden Crown acts as a scatter that pays x2 to x200 times a total bet if 3 or more land on the screen. This is the only symbol that does not need to line up; hitting it anywhere in view awards the said prize. Thus, the maximum scatter win reaches $3000, which is the top jackpot in the slot. Moreover, three scatters unlock 10 retriggerable free spins with all wins doubled.

The Queen Of Hearts logo is a wild symbol that substitutes and doubles payouts when substituting. The wild also comes stacked in all gaming modes: in a base game and during free spins. Furthermore, the Logo multiplies payouts by x4 in a free spin round, providing a high potential for big wins. Hitting five wilds on a line left to right pays off the slot’s second largest prize of $2000 on the maximum bet.
