Queenie Review

The title of this Pragmatic Play-powered Wild Streak Gaming release immediately reminded us of the lyrics from the Modern Talking hit song, Atlantis Is Calling (SOS For Love), but there is nothing “little” or cute about the ‘Queenie’ in this game. She’s a stern-looking grown woman staring straight at you on the left-hand side (and as the top-tier symbol on the reels), and you have only wilds to help you out in the somewhat tedious base game grind.

The wilds are collected by the partially visible feature Wheel, and collecting wilds eventually gives you a spin on the Wheel at random times. This is how the bonus round is triggered, which comes with a Wheel spin for every wild you land, and the Wheel can also trigger a jackpot pick game with prizes up to 4,000x your stake. Several other useful extras can also come from this Wheel, but we’re unsure if the somewhat dated visual presentation is doing this Alice in Wonderland release any favors.

Queenie Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 2 and 10 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the big red heart Wild steps in for all pay symbols to help complete winning combinations. The wild holds no value of its own however, and it can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 only.

Whenever you land a Wild symbol in the base game, there is always a chance that it triggers the feature Wheel bonus. The Wheel is partly visible behind the reels, and when triggered it comes into view to award one of the following extras:

• A cash prize between 8 and 200 x your stake.
• A random multiplier between x2 and x100 that boosts your total win.
• 2 to 5 extra wilds will be randomly added to the reels.
• The Jackpot Pick Me Bonus Game.
• The Bonus Round with up to 50 free spins.

The Jackpot Bonus Game comes with 12 ‘pick me’ cards, and each card reveals 1 of 4 possible jackpots. You’re guaranteed to win one of them, and matching 3 jackpots by picking cards is how you do it.

You can win 10, 15, 20 or 50 free spins from the feature Wheel, and the Bonus Round plays out almost like the base game. The big difference is that heart Wilds always trigger a feature Wheel spin. You can thus win extra spins that prolong the feature, or any of the extras mentioned above.

Non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can purchase the bonus round for 100x the total stake, and this gives you a feature Wheel spin where you’re guaranteed to land on one of the free spins segments. The bonus round triggers once every 262 spins on average.

The 200 Spins Queenie Slot Experience

You get to see some smaller base game payouts, before we purchase the bonus round at 1:20 into the 8:48-minute highlights video. As you probably understand from the length of our video, we landed extra spins via the feature Wheel, and we started with 20 free spins.

Review Summary

The problem with the Pragmatic Play engine is the somewhat slow spin pace, and it only gets accentuated by the circular spin bar visualization. Some kind of turbo option would have been a great idea for a release like this (and all future releases really), as the base game is mostly a tedious grind anyway. All the fun is contained in the feature Wheel, and it can be frustrating when you collect wild heart after wild heart with nothing to show for it.

The Alice in Wonderland theme is done a bit differently than we’ve seen before, with the focus on the unflinching mysterious left-hand side Queen of Hearts staring you down throughout the entire session. Any theme would have worked for this concept though, and the bonus round is admittedly kind of fun when you trigger plenty of feature Wheel spins. The Wheel comes with pretty decent rewards overall, and the 4,200x potential seems achievable since 2,430x can be landed from a single spin.

Pros

• Wild hearts eventually trigger feature Wheel spin
• Wheel awards prizes, multipliers, wilds, Jackpot game or FS
• Pick me Jackpot Game with prizes up to 4,000x your stake
• FS w/ feature Wheel trigger for every heart wild that lands
• Win up to 4,200x your stake (1 in 12,853,470 probability)

Cons

• Beware of adjustable RTP ranges
• Base game is a tedious mediocre-paced grind
