Kingdoms Rise: Shadow Queen

The Kingdoms Rise series of online slots are incredibly popular amongst punters for a variety of reasons. One of the standout features is the progressive jackpot, which is active throughout all of the games in the collection. When it comes to Kingdoms Rise: Shadow Queen, the graphics are also impressive, with detailed symbols and animated flame embers coming from below the board. A wheel can also be seen in the background, which is linked to the main bonus mode. 

Kingdoms Rise: Shadow Queen was created by Playtech with the help of Ash Gaming. As previously mentioned, there are other titles in the Kingdoms Rise series, which includes the likes of Kingdoms Rise: Legion Uprising and Kingdoms Rise: Battle Beast. These slots have different characters and symbols within them. However, there are many similarities across the range. A map also features in Kingdoms Rise: Shadow Queen, allowing players to easily switch between these games. 

To start this section, there are a variety of different gems to represent the least desirable symbols in Kingdoms Rise: Shadow Queen. These are represented by turquoise, green, purple, blue, and pink colours. Next are the premium icons, shown as a potion, a book, a water character, an earth character, and a fire character. Should five of these form a matching combination, players can be awarded with 150x, 150x, 250x, 250x, or 500x the stake size, respectively.

Wild symbols in this slot are shown as the Shadow Queen, which can substitute for any standard or premium symbol. There are also scatter symbols, displayed as the wheel located behind the main board.

Landing the aforementioned scatter symbol on reels 2, 3, and 4 during the same spin will trigger the 'Magic Win' bonus. Should this happen, a wheel will be presented to the player before being spun. The outcome of this wheel will determine the number of spins, with values from 2 to 10 being available. During this round, only spins that contain a matching combination will decrease the starting counter. There is also a win multiplier, which will increase by 1x for each spin, regardless of whether a combination is formed or not.

All of the Kingdoms Rise games also feature a progressive jackpot, which can trigger on any spin. In order of desirability, there is a daily strike jackpot, a power strike jackpot, and an epic jackpot. The epic jackpot starts at 100,000.00 and increases until it is won, as will the other two different jackpots.

Finally, this slot features an innovative 'Shop' mechanic. During the base game or bonus mode, icons with collect symbols on them can appear. These will turn into tokens, which can be spent in the shop. For example, players can use these tokens to be awarded with varying numbers of 'Magic Win' spins.

This slot offers a visually appealing experience to punters, while also having a variety of different features. The addition of a shop is a nice touch, allowing players to be awarded with tokens, that they can use on in-game bonuses!
