Kukulkan’s Queen

Kukulkan’s Queen Review

Kukulkan’s Queen is a new take on Maya, this time, devoted to the ancient civilization’s serpent deity Kukulkan, the god of rain, wind, storms, and life. The game has a creative gameplay packed with interesting features that operate in a somewhat unique way, providing a one-of-a-kind gaming experience and a large winning potential.

Loading the game takes you to a Mesoamerican rainforest, where ancient Mayan ruins lie within. On one of such buildings is sitting a 5x3 reel layout with 25 fixed betways. The slot looks good with graphics and smooth lively animations.

The game can be accessed from any device, and it caters to everyone with its stake options. Powered by a math model, it has an RTP, which is slightly above the average level. What’s most impressive is the maximum win capability, offering rewards.

Three or more matching symbols create a winning combo when landing adjacently on the reels starting from the leftmost. There are 10 pay symbols included, which are split into highs and lows. Landing 5 of the same lower symbols on the reels awards, while the higher symbols are worth from to for five-of-a-kind. A lady in traditional Mayan clothing acts as the Wild symbol, substituting for any of the regulars in winning combos. Keep in mind that all symbols appear in stacks, so full-screen wins are possible.

Each win during the gameplay triggers a Cascade, which removes the winning symbols from the reels, allowing new ones to tumble down and fill the gaps, creating more wins. The feature is also linked to a progressive multiplier, which grows with each consecutive cascade. Multiplier levels are in ascending order.

Wild symbols land stacked on reel 5 and do not disappear in the cascades after taking part in a win. If a stacked Wild lands partially visible, there’s a chance it will Nudge up or down to fill the reel entirely.

When a fully stacked Wild symbol appears on reel 5, the Respins are triggered. The reels get locked, so cascades are not available. The stacked Wild then moves by one position to the left with each respin, collecting all possible wins. The process continues until it reaches the leftmost reel.

Kukulkan himself is the Scatter symbol here, acting as the key to the bonus game. Whenever there’s a Scatter in view and a win is achieved, it doesn’t stay on the reels but disappears in the cascade. Each Scatter landing on the reels is added to the special meter above, and when 5 are collected, the Free Spins feature comes into play.

The last achieved multiplier will become the initial multiplier value for the free games. Players receive 15 spins to start with, and collecting another 5 Scatters during the feature awards +5 extra spins. In the bonus game, a stacked Wild is always present on the reels, moving to random positions on each free spin. Like in the base game, each consecutive cascade increases the multiplier. However, they are not held reset back to the starting value between the spins.

Where available, players can use the Buy Feature to activate the free spins immediately for a fixed cost. There are three different options, as follows:

• Free Spins with a starting Multiplier
• Free Spins with a starting Multiplier
• Free Spins with a starting Multiplier

Note that buying the bonus doesn’t activate it immediately, but triggers a spin with 5 guaranteed Scatter symbols. Then, cascades proceed, granting you additional wins until a pre-paid multiplier value is reached.

Review Summary

All said and done, Kukulkan’s Queen is certainly a slot, worth taking your time to give it a spin or two. The theme might not be that compelling, but the features laid down here deliver plenty of entertainment and can pay you pretty big both in the base game and free spins.
