Queen of the Niles: A 25-Line Club Classic

Queen of the Niles is 918Laki's own Egypt-themed club pokie, and each spin covers 25 lines. The Nile Queen is the wild and doubles a win she helps to make. Three pyramids give 15 free games, with every win in them paid at ×3.

Three things to know before your first spin

1. It always plays 25 lines

A line, also called a payline, is a path from the left reel to the right reel. A symbol wins when it lands along one of those paths, starting at the left. Queen of the Niles has 25 paths and you cannot switch any off. The bet box on the machine reads 25 LINES at all times.

So the only choice you make is the total bet. That one amount pays for all 25 lines together.

2. There are two queens

The Nile Queen is a picture of the queen herself, and she is the wild. The letter Q is an ordinary card rank, one of the low symbols. The machine's message line calls the wild NILE QUEENS and the card QUEENS so you can tell which one paid.

A wild is a stand-in. If a line needs one more mask to pay and the Nile Queen is sitting in that spot, she counts as the mask. She stands in for every symbol except the pyramid. When she helps to make a win, that win is doubled; the help text under the game has the exact rule.

3. Pyramids do not need a line

The pyramid is the scatter symbol. Scatter means it counts anywhere on the screen. Pyramids pay on your whole bet wherever they stop, and three of them open the free games.

The symbols, from top to bottom

Besides the Nile Queen and the pyramid there are four Egypt pictures: the gold mask, the scarab, the eye and the lotus flower. Under those come six card ranks, from the ace down through king, queen, jack and ten to the nine.

For the prizes, press PAYS. The panel shows each symbol with what it pays for each count in a row, in Kina, at your present bet. Change the bet and the panel changes with it. That is the quickest way to see what a bet step really does.

What happens from SPIN to payout

  1. You open the game from the Aus Club tab. The cabinet shows CREDIT, WIN and BET meters and the message PLACE YOUR BETS.
  2. You set the total bet with the two BET keys, minus on the left and plus on the right.
  3. You press SPIN. The message changes to GOOD LUCK while the reels turn.
  4. The reels stop. If nothing lines up, the spin is over and the bet is spent.
  5. If a line wins, the symbols in the win light up and the message line spells it out: how many of which symbol, and the amount.
  6. The win waits on the WIN meter. Press TAKE WIN to bank it, GAMBLE to risk it, or SPIN to bank it and go again.

If you would like the machine to keep spinning, the AUTO key offers 10, 25, 50 or 100 spins, or spins until you stop. Wins in auto are banked each time, with no gamble, and auto ends by itself when the cash is used up.

Pyramid free games

Three pyramids on one spin bring up the banner for 15 free games with all wins ×3. They start by themselves.

A free game is a spin the machine pays for. You watch 15 of them. Every line win and every scatter win during them is tripled. The first meter shows a count such as the game you are on out of the total.

The count can grow. If the pyramids come up again inside the free games, a short banner adds more free games on top. When the last one is played, the machine shows what the whole set won and that amount goes to the WIN meter like any other win.

Should you gamble a win?

Queen of the Niles has the club gamble. With a win waiting, GAMBLE opens a card table. Guess the colour, red or black, and a right guess doubles the win. Guess the suit and a right guess pays four times. A wrong guess of either kind wipes the win out. You may guess several times in a row, up to the number of goes shown in the heading, or press TAKE WIN at any point.

Think of it as a separate bet with the win as your stake. On a colour you will be wrong about every second time. If the win is from the free games and it is a good one, the safe move is TAKE WIN.

Queen of the Niles next to its two sister machines

The three club classics share one cabinet and one set of keys, so once you know one you can work the others. The differences are in the numbers.

Dolphin Treasures has 20 lines and gives 12 free games for three pearls. Queen of the Niles has 25 lines and gives 15 free games for three pyramids. Indian Dreamings drops lines for 243 ways and gives 10, 15 or 20 free games for its moons. In all three, free-game wins are ×3.

All three belong to the house range described on the Australian Club page.

Looking after a small balance

With 25 lines, a winning spin often hits just one line and can pay back less than the bet. The larger pays come from picture symbols, the Nile Queen's doubling and the free games, and those are not frequent. A small balance needs a small bet to get through the quiet spells.

  1. Pick the bet by asking how many spins you want from your money, then check the figure in the bet box before every session.
  2. Keep your thumb off MAX BET.
  3. Bank ordinary wins. Use the gamble seldom, if at all.
  4. Stop at the limit you set, whether you are up or down.

There is more on pacing a session in the beginner pokies tips. The game is for players aged 18 and over. No pattern of bets changes what the reels do, so never borrow or use bill money to keep going.

People also ask

Is the Q card the same as the Nile Queen?

No. The Nile Queen picture is the wild. The letter Q is a normal low symbol and has no special power.

How do I get the 15 free games?

Land three pyramids on one spin, anywhere on the screen. The free games start by themselves and every win in them is ×3.

Can I lower the cost by playing fewer lines?

No. The machine plays 25 lines every time. Lower the total bet with the BET minus key instead.

Do free games cost anything?

No. Nothing is taken from your balance while they play, and what they win is added at the end.
