Panther Queen Slot Review

In the base game, there are six reels on the screen: the first five are classic 3x5, and the sixth is a separate one, on which either a multiplier or a Bonus symbol appears. There are 25 paylines on five regular reels. Wild Symbol (black panther) is common and helps to collect lines with top payouts. The most interesting thing begins when the sixth reel gives out a multiplier: each match here can be multiplied by 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10 times - this really changes the situation even after a regular win.

Instead of the usual Free Spins, the Jackpot Feature is implemented here. It starts if a Bonus symbol appears on the sixth reel, and a certain combination appears on the first reel. At this moment, a mini-game opens on the screen: you choose the items behind which the Mini, Minor, Major or Grand Jackpot are hidden. The more matches of the same type you collect, the bigger the jackpot you get. There are no other bonus modes, but the process of "opening" itself is quite addictive, especially if you haven't caught anything big for a long time.

The symbolism is all about the jungle: flowers, masks, toucans, snakes, Panther Queen itself and, of course, the panther as the Wild Symbol. The most expensive is Panther Queen, a little lower - a totem and a toucan. Wild Symbol substitutes for any other symbol, except for Bonus. The Bonus symbol appears only on the sixth reel. Regular symbols give frequent small wins, and the main drifts are only with the help of a multiplier or bonus game. Large payouts are felt exactly when everything matches a large multiplier on the sixth reel.

The maximum win for one spin, excluding the jackpot, is x500 of the bet (if you collect the entire screen with top symbols with a multiplier of x10). But the main potential is, of course, the Grand Jackpot, which falls out extremely rarely, but can pleasantly surprise. In practice, most wins are either regular lines with a multiplier of x2–x5, or Mini and Minor Jackpot. Average bonuses are usually kept in the range of x20-x150, and everything above is purely for luck and the correct match of the sixth reel.

The graphics are nice, in green tones, without overloading with animations. The background is static, but the symbols are bright, well drawn, and Panther Queen really stands out from the rest. The sounds add to the atmosphere of the jungle: the chirping of birds, the rustle of leaves and a slight growl at winnings. Everything works smoothly, even if you play for a long time — I haven't noticed any lags.

This slot is definitely for those who love exoticism, simple rules and dynamics. There are no complex mechanics here, but each spin can pleasantly surprise thanks to the multiplier on the sixth reel. If you want a slot with a jackpot chance, but without unnecessary "water", Panther Queen is quite suitable. Beginners will understand, experienced ones will appreciate the rare mechanics with the sixth reel.

The RTP of Panther Queen is usually 96.5%, but Pragmatic Play can also release reduced versions, sometimes up to 95%. Be sure to check the real indicator in the info of the slot. The volatility is average: small wins often fall out here, but because of the multiplier, there are also good upsets. I advise you to bet a small part of your bankroll on one spin, not to chase the Grand Jackpot — it is almost impossible to catch it anyway. It's better to enjoy the game and multipliers than to wait for rare jackpots.
