The Red Queen is a volatile Pragmatic Play fairytale-themed slot with 5x3 reels and 243 win ways by default. Mystery symbols can disclose split symbols that increase the number of ways to win, and the sixth reel can activate multiplier wild Queen Respins as well as the bonus round. You can win up to 5,000 times your wager with the latter, which features three modifiers on an additional reel.
For 5 of a kind winners, the character premium symbols, with the Queen as the highest-paying symbol, pay between 1 and 2.5 times the wager. Unlocking the sixth reel allows you to earn up to five times your wager on a single payline.
Wilds appear on reels 2 through 5 to help complete and/or enhance wins, and you can anticipate a Mystery Symbol nearly every time you spin the reels. All existing Mystery Symbols are replaced with an arbitrary symbol type, with the possibility of two or four instances per position. Only blanks, scatters, and queen symbols can appear on the sixth reel, which is activated when two or three scatters appear during the same base game spin. The bonus round is activated when a scatter appears on the sixth reel, and striking a Queen activates the Queen Respin feature.
The Queen Respin transforms all existing scatter symbols into wilds with random multipliers of x2, x3, or x4 per wild. The multiplier wilds become sticky for the subsequent respin, and if multiple multiplier wilds contribute to a single line victory, the multiplier values are added before being applied.
Scatter symbols can only appear on reels 2 through 6, and 3 or 4 are required to activate the bonus round. A clock determines the number of extra spins you receive. With 3 triggering scatters, the numbers between 4 and 12 are coloured green, while with 4 triggering scatters, the numbers between 6 and 12 are coloured green. If the clock stops on the green segment, you receive the number of free spins it lands on, as well as a new turn of the clock to earn additional free spins.
The sixth reel is always active during the bonus round and is capable of landing all regular-paying symbols. During the bonus round, a top reel with four soldiers also comes into action, and they reveal the following modifiers:
