On a recent trip to Egypt I was asked to help with some archeology. Being fascinated by the Egyptions I agreed to partake in a little excavation and uncover some more history of ancient Egypt.
We climbed upon our camels and headed towards the pyramids. As we got nearer we could see all the famous statues, The Sphinx, The Pyramids and lots and lots of hyroglyphics, the site astounded me. We set up camp and rested for the night. During the night I had a fantastic dream.
In my dream I was back in the time of the Roman Empire and Cleopatra, the year 48BC. Egypt was embroiled in the conflict in Rome between Julius Caesar and Pompey. Caesar and Cleopatra became lovers and Cleopatra bore Caesar a child. Cleopatra followed Caesar to Rome, but after his assassination in 44 BC, she returned to Egypt.
It was now the year 31 BC and Mark Antony and Cleopatra combined armies to take on Octavian's forces in a great sea battle at Actium, on the west coast of Greece but Octavian was victorious and Cleopatra and Mark Antony fled to Egypt. In 30 BC Alexandria was captured and with his soldiers deserting him, Mark Antony took his own life and Cleopatra chose the same course, committing suicide on 12 August 30 BC. Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire.
I woke the next day and could not wait to start work on some excavations. I enjoyed my time and discovered lots of new things about Egypt, I hope you have too and will remember them while playing Queen of the Pyramids slot machine.
5-Reel Multiline Slots
The object of the game is to obtain a winning symbol combination by spinning the reels.
To play the game:
Choose the value of the coins you wish to wager each round, by clicking on the + and - buttons. This will be the amount you bet on one line, called line bet.
Select the number of paylines you want to bet on by clicking on the Bet One button or the line numbers to the left or right of the reels. When you click on line number 5 for example, you also select lines 1-4. Each click on the Bet One buttons selects one more line. Click Bet Max or line number 9 to select all paylines. Remember that your total bet (the amount you spend on the game round) is line bet multiplied by the number of lines selected. Clicking Bet Max will also spin the reels automatically.
Click Spin (if you did not press Bet Max) to spin the reels.
If the reels show a winning combination after they stop (along a payline you bet on), you win according to the winning table. Click the Paytable button to see the paytable, if you wish. Close the paytable by clicking the Paytable button again. If you win on multiple paylines simultaneously, your winnings are added up.
Paylines:
Active paylines are represented by lines that appear over the reels. You can activate paylines and see their shape by progressively clicking the Bet One button.
Please note: You only win if a combination occurs on an active payline.
The Scatter symbol is an exception to that rule. Read more about the Scatter symbol below.
About the winning tables:
The tables show a certain number for every hit amount for every symbol. For example, if you have four symbols in a row starting on the leftmost reel (that is four hits), read the number on the line 'XXXX' and in the column under that symbol. Multiply your line bet by that number and you get the winning amount. If you have winning combinations on multiple lines, add them all up to get the winning amount. The symbols have to lie consecutively, starting from the leftmost reel, to qualify as hits.
Please note: There is a difference between the line bet and the total bet. The line bet shows how much you're betting on a single payline. The total bet shows how much you're spending in this game round. The payouts shown in the paytable are multiplied by the line bet, not by the total bet. If you get winning combinations on more than one payline, the winnings for each payline are added up.
The pharaoh symbol is a wild symbol - meaning it stands for any other symbol, like a joker in card games. The exceptions are the bonus and scatter symbols, which the wild symbol does not replace.
Progressive Jackpot:
Jackpot
One of the possible wins in this game is the progressive Jackpot. A small percentage of each bet, by every person playing this game in each of many online casinos, is added to a common pot. When a player gets the right result, that player wins the entire Jackpot (in some games you can also win part of it).
After a Jackpot has been won, a new pot is started, with the casinos contributing a base amount of money (called a seed). This ensures that even if you get a Jackpot result in a game right after someone else has won the Jackpot, you will still get a large win.
Each game has its own Jackpot, built up by all the casinos that offer the game.
Please note:
In some games you have to make a specific bet to be eligible for the Jackpot.
If you get disconnected in the middle of a game round, your game does not change the value of the Jackpot. The state of the game up to that point is remembered by the casino; the next time you log in you can finish your game round with the same odds and without placing a new bet.
If a Jackpot is being discontinued (a game is closed and removed from the casino client), you will be notified of it by the casino.
Next week we will be reviewing another great online casino slots game.
