The Queen of Spades

The Queen of Spades

Samuel Read Last Updated 2022-04-05

It is the rare slot indeed that takes its theme from great literature, but ThunderSpin’ The Queen of Spades fits the bill.

Inspired by Alexander Pushkin’s story of the same name, this 5-reel slot offers two profitable bonus features, but suffers from low RTP.

Theme

This game immerses the player in the glamorous world of high Russian society in the 19th Century. Newly installed street lamps shine down upon the reels, with Pushkin’s protagonist looking on, looking rather dashing in his tail coat and occasionally bowing or tipping his hat.

Gaming symbols include a butler, the elegant leading man, the Old Lady who refuses to share her brilliant gambling secrets, and Liza, the beautiful femme fatal at the center of it all. A heart-emblazoned pocket watch acts as wild, while a mechanical spade symbol acts as scatter and the gateway to the Doors bonus feature. When Liza appears fully stacked, she also acts as scatter, triggering a free re-spin bonus feature.

The playing card symbols ace through jack act as lower-value symbols. A spooky waltz provides the soundtrack, echoing the unnatural themes of this slot’s story.

Betting Options and Functions

AGames is a subsidiary of the Malta-based company BOSS., which offers complete casino packages to its clients. Though not a fully independent designer, however, ThunderSpin delivers consistently excellent games on par with anything coming out of industry giants such as Microgaming or NetEnt.

The design team looks after every detail of gaming. There are 21 paylines (appropriate for a slot with a card-playing theme), all paying from left to right. Bet level is adjustable from 1–10, with coin value adjustable from 0.01–1.00 for an overall per-spin bet range of 0.21–210.00 times the betting currency.

Autoplay is available for up to 500 spins, with optional win and loss limits if the feature is engaged through the settings menu, which also allows players to adjust sound and image options, as well as quickspin. The overall theoretical return to player ratio is below-average at 96%.

Features

In Pushkin’s tale, the Old Lady offers her gambling secrets in a dream… players needn’t wait for such nocturnal aids, however, thanks to the Doors bonus feature. This is triggered by the mechanical spade bonus symbol. Players choose two different sets of doors to determine the size of their instant cash prizes.

This is not the only bonus game in town: three or more of the stacked Liza symbols on the reels triggers the free spin feature. Players begin with 15 free spins and a double win multiplier.

During free spins, a glowing playing card freespin scatter symbol is added to the reels. If players discover it, three additional free spins will be added to the feature total, and, even more importantly, the level of the bonus increases by one. A maximum win multiplier of 7x should be enough to excite any gambler.

Our Take

Who says that great literature can’t make for great gaming? ThunderSpin has built a thoroughly enjoyable slot in The Queen of Spades, but low RTP is a dangerous thing. Hopefully, players will fare better than Pushkin’s narrator, who dies a pauper in a madhouse.
