Meet the royals, as Queen of the Castle lands at online casinos

If you didn’t get a proper dose of the Royals over the weekend, you are invited to get closer to royalty this week, as the latest NextGen Gaming slot themed on royalty rolls into town. Queen of the Castle becomes the newest royal game to launch, and just like Harry and Meghan’s wedding, it mixes together strands of the old and the new.

About the slot

The imagery in the game features both medieval and modern symbols, creating a perfect blend that players aren’t likely to have found in too many royalty-themed slots before. NextGen Gaming’s Queen of the Castle contains 5 reels and 576 paylines, which is something rather new for this developer. You can expect to be able to spin the reels of this slot rather cheaply though, even with that number of lines present on the reels.

Bonus features

Wild symbols appear as the Queen, and these symbols can appear stacked on the reels and can replace any other symbols in the title, save for scatters and bonus symbols. Each of those can trigger free spin bonuses and other goodies, although a handful of randomly triggered features have also been worked into the slot’s design, such as locking reels.

Treasure chests are certainly going to catch players’ eyes. These appear in red and purple colours, and each can transform other symbols into the same icons when they land stacked on the first and fifth reels, respectively.

As for the main bonus round, it promises a total of 14 free games, although an extra wild shows up in the form of the royal crown. These can not only substitute for all other symbols barring scatters, but can also add additional free spins to your tally in this new game, which launches at NextGen Gaming casinos this week.
