Ancient Egypt has continued to be a fertile ground for online slot themes since the olden days (as my Mum says). The Nile River which inspires a sense of life in the Egypt as well as in all the parts Mediterranean it touches has also featured in many slots.
However, among all slots inspired by the Egyptians setting, none surpasses the Queen of the Nile slots by Aristocrat. The five reels, three rows and twenty-five pay line slot features a magnificent representation of the ancient Egypt combined with classic game features such as scatters, wilds, free spins as well as the gamble feature.
Game Description Queen of the Nile
This game exhibits a classy antique look and utilizes an audio soundtrack and graphical hallmarks that resonate well with the developer trademark.
The brilliant five reels 25 pay lines slots offers you the chance to win from you first spin with the lowest paying symbols being the Hieroglyphics which pay between 2 to 125 coins for three to five matching symbols.
History of the game
The Queen of the Nile slot dates back the 1990s and was one of the most popular pokies ever designed and played in Australia, but it has had sequels like any other online slot. It is the first of the trilogy of games.
Some of its popular sequels include the Queen of the Nile Legends and Queen of the Nile 2. Whether you are a typical player who prefers small stakes or an experienced high-roller, this slot offers 60 different bet/stake combinations.
Game symbols
- While still maintaining a strict ancient Egyptian theme, the slot comes with iconic symbols such as pyramids, pharaohs, hieroglyphics, scarab beetle and the famous Queen of the Nile.
- It also comes with lower value symbols that include J, K, Q, 10, 9, and A.
- The Queen of the Nile logo is the wild symbol and the pyramid is the scatter symbol. The wild queen has the power to substitute all symbols except the pyramids to evoke winning paytable equations as well as double your prizes.
- The Pyramid scatters symbol has the potential to award prizes of up to 400X when the 5 of its symbols appear anywhere on the reels.
- You will get smaller prizes when the scatter symbols appear on lines 2, 3 and 4 and also get free spins when they appear in 3, 4 or 5 symbols.
Outstanding Bonus Features
The gamble feature
- This offers the players a chance to double or quadruple your wins by predicting the right card or suits respectively. Players who get to this feature are allowed to make guesses for five times in total.
Free spins – Yeay !

Big pay-outs
The slot offers a whopping 9,000 coins jackpot for the base game, but players can get more on the bonus features.
Betting Range
Coin denominations for this game range from 0.25 to 50.
Verdict summary
This slot is a veteran in the gaming world. It has been the blueprint for many video slots often copied never bettered, but considering the current online slots sophistication, Queen of the Nile looks somehow outdated.
However, the fact that it has remained relevant for all those years is an indication that it has not completely lost its charms among old school pokies players.
