Pragmatic Play is making a big splash with this underwater-themed slot. With five reels, four lines, abundant bonus features, and resplendent visual design, Queen of Atlantis makes a great case for itself. There 1024 ways to win, two kinds of free spins, two scatter symbols, and a very cool second chance bonus feature: it’s an embarrassment of riches.
Theme
The mythical Kingdom (in this case, Queendom) of Atlantis is the basis for this slot, and the entire design scheme stays true to this underwater aesthetic. Cool blue and purple colors are everywhere, along with gold and gems invoking the wealth of this aquatic realm. Game symbols include several underwater creatures, including octopi, crowned dolphins, and jellyfish, as well as an emerald-colored helmet and a golden ring. Lower-value symbols are not playing cards, but rather the four suits of those cards, each shimmering in its own jewel-tone; the highest value symbol is the titular mermaid Queen herself. The scatter and super scatter symbols are both round pearls within an opening oyster shell (normally white, but gold in the latter case, which appears only on the fifth reel). The wild symbol looks like a whale’s (or a mermaid’s) tail plunging into a moonlit seascape, and substitutes for all other symbols except scatter. The soundtrack is excellent – overall, the entire user experience is unyielding.
Betting Options, Functions, and Features
There is an unusually large range of possible bet sizes in Queen of Atlantis, from a minimum bet of 0.50 all the way up to 250 times the betting currency, making this game accessible to players with bankrolls of every size. Other player interactions include an auto-spin icon, options to raise or lower the bet, and a detailed information page that can be launched with a button.
Aside from very strong design, the other great strength of this game is its bonus features. We begin with free spins: the appearance of three or more scatter symbols on the reels will award between eight and 20 free spins to the player. While in free spin mode, wild symbols appear and function as in base play, but carry a win multiplier doubling or tripling each win, which works in aggregate when more than one appears in a winning combination. Furthermore, landing more scatter symbols prolongs free spin mode with five additional spins.
There is also a super free spin feature, which is similar to the simple free spin mode but contains stacked symbols of the high-value Queen. Finally, the second chance bonus: when two scatter symbols appear in base play (not enough to trigger free spins), a mini-game appears. The player gets to choose between three wrecked ships: one is empty, returning to base play, but the other two award six and ten free spins, respectively.
Our Take
Queen of Atlantis is a big win for Pragmatic Play. There’s not much in the way of weak points here – while it’s true that this game lacks animation or a great variety of different games-within-the-game, none of those features is ever missed. This is a well-planned, well-made game that is well worth any player’s consideration.
