If you've ever been in land-based gambling venue in Oz, you've probably already seen Queen of the Nile. Online pokies ratings are what we're all about though, so we owe it to you to tell you a little more about the game.

One of Aristocrat's, a casino software company that struck it big in the online gambling space after decades of producing offline gambling machines, signature titles, Queen of the Nile was the inspiration for the (also hugely popular) Cleopatra slot machine.

Australia online pokies fans may be more familiar with the updated version of this game—Queen of the Nile II, which we also have a page about—so we'll cover a few of the 'need to knows’ of this game here.

How To Play

Queen of the Nile is one of the original 5-reel 3 symbol free spin online pokies. Australia is well used to these by now, with games of a similar format located all over the country.

A few things to note about Queen of the Nile include:

• 20 paylines – This is a little lower than some other Aristocrat titles, but the game's low variance means that wins remain pretty common
• Bonus features – Generous scatter payouts are triggered by pyramid symbols, with a bonus round (more on this below) for three or more
• There’s a maximum jackpot set in place, but bonus round wins can be higher

Once you've chosen how many credits to gamble per line, all you need to do is hit play. You can also risk your wins on a red/black mini-game in which you try to guess the colour or suit of a random card to double or quadruple your money.

I managed to keep my bankroll hovering around the same sort of number by successfully gambling on this mini-game once then taking the win. When I tried to gamble more than that, I tended not to get lucky.

Graphics/Sounds

Queen of the Nile has an ancient Egyptian theme, with symbols including Egyptian symbols like pyramids, hieroglyphs and Cleopatra herself. The graphics and sound effects are fairly basic, to be expected since the game has been around since the 1990s.

Like with most other Aristocrat titles though, the basic graphics do offer one advantage – they mean that the game can be played at no download/instant play casinos without noticing any difference between its graphics and those when the game is played via a downloadable casino client.

Bonus Features

Queen of the Nile's bonus round is very simple to get your head around. Three scattered pyramid symbols trigger 15 free spins with a multiplier of 3x. If you're lucky enough to get any wild Cleopatras mixed in, which multiplies any win by 2x, you actually stand to make some serious cash with a possible 6x multiplier.

Most players report bonus rounds being triggered fairly regularly, but I found myself chasing one for quite a while. If you're looking for a rapid transition from standard play to a free spin bonus round, this might not necessarily be the best option out there for you.

In my experience, Queen of the Nile's online pokies rating doesn't get boosted by its bonus round all that much but the regular small wins you get while playing do at least mean that you can generally chase the bonus round for a while without feeding in too much of your own AUD.

Queen of the Nile Online Pokies Review

There no shortages of reviews of this game out there, but I'll throw my hat into the ring with this Queen of the Nile pokies rating. The game is fun to play and, with all of those smaller wins, even a modest bankroll can last a long time. In fact, a win of double your stake with two scattered pyramids is positively generous if you're playing a large number of credits per line.

Still, in my experience at least, the bonus round just wasn't coming up as often as I would like. Playing other Aristocrat games for review, I sometimes encountered several bonus rounds in a very short space of time. This one I only came across one. That may just be luck of the draw, but my gut says that it might be the case more generally too.

Despite the basic graphics and sounds, the many regular wins you'll experience that stretch your Aussie dollar that little bit further make it worth a look and a possible 6x multiplier during that elusive bonus round is certainly worth chasing.
