Kingdoms Rise: Shadow Queen

Enter a magical fantasy world with Kingdoms Rise: Shadow Queen, the online slot from Playtech. With sorcery and swords as far as the eye can see, plus mysterious figures lurking in the background, it's a game filled with intrigue and suspense. But there's the potential for cash prizes, too, with an increasing prize pot plus a top fixed payout of x5000.

Playtech has a sterling reputation as a slot provider and has a proven track record in producing stand-out slot series. Kingdoms Rise is a series of slots which already has more than ten titles, each focusing on different elements within the kingdom.

Shadow Queen is played on a 5x3 board which contains 25 traditional paylines. You can start the reels spinning for just 0.10, but the bet can be increased up to a maximum of 100.00 total for those seeking the larger payouts. There are highly volatile games, and there are VERY highly volatile games…and then there's Kingdoms Rise: Shadow Queen. This isn't a slot to play unless you're prepared to wait patiently and ride out the dry spells before any payouts begin to land.

The design of this slot isn't as complex as some other fantasy titles, but there's a natural sense that Game of Thrones meets Marvel. The suspense moves up a notch in some of the bonus play with sinister hooded figures standing guard over the board. The overall effect is striking and brings the best of fantasy gaming to the reels. 

The low-pays are made up of coloured jewels, each one in a different shape. The premium-pays include a potion bottle, a thick grimoire and three characters which represent Earth, Water and Fire.

The Shadow Queen herself appears on the board as the wild and can substitute for any of the low or high pays.

The character symbols often land on the reels as stacked symbols; this makes it more likely to land high-paying combinations.

Scatter symbols are included in this slot, and landing three or more will trigger the free spins round. Before this begins, players will be taken to a prize wheel to determine how many free spins they'll receive, with a maximum of 10 free spins available to win. 

During free spins, every time there's a win, a multiplier will increase by +1. This continues throughout the bonus with no upper limit.

Like the other Kingdoms Rise slots, Shadow Queen offers an increasing prize pot. This is awarded randomly in either the base game or during free spins. With a minimum prize value, it will keep on increasing until it’s paid out. There are four different prize pots and the one awarded is also random.

Kingdoms Rise: Shadow Queen from Playtech is an online slot that will appeal to fantasy fans. But with an increasing prize pot, there's plenty to like, with significant payout potential on every spin.
