The Red Queen Slot Information

The Red Queen invites you to a world as psychedelic as the children's book Alice's Adventure in Wonderland. There are huge purple mushrooms and other plants with a golden shimmer. Butterflies of all colors fly around, and the music is mystic and inspiring in the same way. You make wins by landing 3 or more of the same symbols on adjacent reels, starting on the first reel to the left.

The setup gives you 243 ways to win, which can increase to a way higher number because the symbols can split and transform into up to 4 symbols of the same kind. You also have a sixth reel that is unlocked when 2 or more Scatter Symbols land on the grid, increasing the ways to win even more. The Red Queen is available on desktops, notepads, and mobile phones.

The lower-paying symbols in this magic land are 10, J, Q, K, and A. They award you between 0.5X and 1.25X the bet for a 6-of-a-kind win. The higher-paying symbols are a rabbit with a coffee cup, Kooky Hatter, a grinning cat, the White Rabbit, and the Red Queen. These guys pay between 1.5X and 5X the bet for a win containing 6 symbols. The Wild Symbol substitutes all symbols except the Scatter Symbol, and you will also find a Mystery Symbol that transforms into the same type of symbol.

The Red Queen Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot The Red Queen?

You can win up to 5000X the bet.

What features are available in the slot The Red Queen?

The features are Wild Symbol, Splitting Symbols, Mystery Symbol, Extra Reel, Queen Respin, and Free Spins.

Wild Symbol

The Wild Symbol appears on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. It substitutes all symbols except the Scatter and can also have a multiplier in the Queen Respin.

Splitting Symbols

A symbol can randomly split into 2 or 4 symbols of the same type. Each symbol counts as an individual one, significantly raising the ways to win.

Mystery Symbol

The Mystery Symbol is a big question mark that can appear on any position. After the reels stop, all present Mystery Symbols turn into one, two, or four symbols of the same paying symbol.

Extra Reel

The base game has a sixth reel which is locked. Landing 2 or 3 Scatter Symbols anywhere unlocks the sixth reel, where you can land Scatter Symbols, Queen Symbols, or blanks on each position. If a Scatter Symbol hits, the free spins will trigger, and landing a Queen Symbol will activate the Queen Respin.

Queen Respin

The Bonus Symbols that landed on the spin that triggered the Queen Respin transform into Wilds with random multipliers of 2X, 3X, or 4X. They are locked to the screen while the rest of the symbols respin. The Wilds apply to all winning combinations, and the multipliers are multiplied by each other if several Wilds take part in the same win.

Free Spins

The Scatter Symbol can appear on all reels except the first one in the base game. Landing 3 or 4 Scatters activates the free spins giving you a minimum of 4 or 6 free spins. Before the feature starts, you're presented with a clock with a green and a white area. The green area is between 12 and 4 if you triggered the feature with 3 Scatters and between 12 and 6 if you triggered it with 4 Scatters. The clock will spin, and if it stops at a green number, you're awarded the same amount of spins as the number it stops at, and spin one more time. If the clock stops at the white area, the free spins will start.

The sixth reel is always active and contains normal paying symbols during the free spins. You also get an extra horizontal reel on top of the regular reels, showing four soldiers. They can randomly show modifiers on any spin:

+Ways = Guarantees a random symbol split on the reel below.

+Wild = Guarantees that a Wild Symbol with a multiplier hits on the reel below.

+1 Spin = Awards 1 or more free spins.

The free spins finish when the player runs out of spins or when the max win of 5000X the bet is reached.

The Red Queen Slot Conclusion

The Red Queen has the same kind of weird feeling as the adventures of Alice in the strange wonderland of Lewis Carroll. You have a sixth reel that's only active when 2 or more Scatters land in the base game. It can become very valuable, triggering the free spins, if a third Scatter lands on the extra reel in the Queen Respin. The extra reel opens and becomes a regular one in the free spins, raising the chances of scoring big. The negative part is that you can only make 6-of-a-kind wins in the free spins.

The Splitting Symbols are also dope, raising the ways to win significantly. There's no information in the game of how many symbols that can split on each spin, but there can definitely be thousands. Each Mystery Symbol can also produce up to 4 individual symbols.

Pragmatic Play has a wide catalog and has released several games with fantasy themes such as The Knight King and Jasmine Dreams. The company is also behind the successful Dog House series, with The Dog House Multihold as the latest release. That is also the only one of the mentioned games that has a higher max win than The Red Queen's 5000X the bet.

The Red Queen from Pragmatic Play takes the player for a psychedelic trip with fairy tale characters.
