Autumn Queen Slots
Autumn is one of those times of year where the crisp coldness of the season is acceptable; the sun is still about, but now the winter woollies are out in force. There’s just something about the very air itself that moves us, the colours of orange and red adding warmth to all the greenery that we witnessed towards the end of summer.
Now you can take that warmth with you wherever you go, when you play Autumn Queen from Novomatic. Presented in a 5-reel, 40-payline format, it’s a large but medium variance title that’s ideal for all middling gamers – those not too advanced but not too new to the community.
Its richness, both in design and gameplay will keep you as cosy as a fire, as will the final payout of €10,000; this might not be the brand’s largest jackpot to date, but it’s an impressive one all the same. The queen of this slot is as generous as she is bewitching, so let’s get started and see how far her generosity can stretch before the evils of boredom set in.
My Beautiful Queen
Upon opening up the paytable, it’s easy to think that you’ve not got a lot of room to manoeuver with this title, and that your stake isn’t worth the risk, but take a closer look and you’ll see that there’s some features to be found here. Like the Autumn Queen Bonus.
This feature will trigger during the free games rounds, which come from the scatter symbol of the glowing pearl. We’ll start by assuming you’ve been awarded the free spins, having found at least five of the scatter symbol, during this time the bonus can activate and leaves will start to cover tiles upon the grid. These fallen remains are hiding valuable stacked icons, which could prove incredibly rewarding for you.
In truth, the extra spins are probably better than the bonus, for they can reach the dizzying height of 80 rounds, but a lot of gamers want bonus rounds, and so we just had to mention what the Autumn Queen can bestow upon you, if you’re so fortunate.
Let’s Play
The beauty of many Novomatic games is that they are available as free slots allowing you to avoid any monetary mishaps, but what’s life without a little risk? As good as it is to ‘try before you buy’, the most authentic rush comes from putting that money down on those reels and praying for a good turn out.
Novomatic aren’t known for very lenient betting ranges, in fact they tend to start off rather big, but Autumn Queen isn’t too shabby in this regard. The starting point is €1 per winline, so if you’re playing with the full 40, you’ll end up with a €40 wager. Not overly friendly but neither is it too pricey, though undoubtedly it’ll put people off. It’s also a good indicator of how high the maximum bet can go, which happens to be €20 per line, leaving you with a €800 bet!
The thing is, for you to get the big cash prizes and to walk away feeling fulfilled, you need to bet as much money as possible, as the paytable adapts to what you punt. It’s a tactic the brand often uses. Should you be struggling with your money, but want to play for real, you can try lowering the winlines too, but remember that the more you decrease them, the less likely you are to make a win.
More Ice Queen Than Autumn Queen
Novomatic has created, yet again, a game that is catered to a specific set of slot players: ones with additional incomes that they can afford to flaunt. What this means is that the game immediately loses appeal due to its lack of accessibility; even the lowest stake is still a lot of money. Yes, the wins can be high, but at what cost?
Personally, it doesn’t feel like it’s worth the hassle, which is a shame as overall the game plays well and looks great.
If all else fails, and you really want to test drive this online activity, you can opt for the demo and get most of the thrills without the scares.
