The setting for Queen of Wands is a clairvoyant's tent - joining the gold playing card symbols are sun, earth and water symbols, each of which offers payouts of 15, 70 or 250 times your line bet if you land 3, 4 or 5 in one of the 40 paylines. Next comes the chalice which offers payouts of up to 400 coins.
Best of all though is the mysterious fortune teller, aka the Queen of Wands, who is the game's wild - she can appear as stacked on any reel and replaces every other symbol apart from the scatter. 5 wilds in a payline will get you 1,000 times your line bet.
The Queen of Wands logo is the scatter - it only appears on the middle 3 reels. When it does hit on reels 2, 3 and 4 on the same spin, you'll trigger the Free Games feature and be awarded 8 free spins. Plenty of extra stacked wild symbols are added to the reels for the duration of the feature, boosting your chances of bagging a decent haul of coins. The free spins can be re-triggered too so hope to see those scatters during the bonus games - there's no limit to the number of times you can hit the free spins.
The imagery in this Tarot-themed slot is very tastefully done with deep purple and lush gold dominating. The action plays out to a haunting backing track which is a nice match for both the theme and visuals.
We found Queen of Wands to be a medium variance slot. The 40 paylines keeps the action in the base game flowing along nicely. Some big wins are certainly possible in the bonus feature where the extra stacked wilds can make a big difference.
Featuring quality design, super slick gameplay (even in turbo mode) and a neat little bonus feature, Queen of Wands is a very playable slot. You may not meet that tall dark stranger but you can enjoy some decent entertainment while you wait. I also recommend you try other Playtech titles including the superb Sun Wukong and Irish-themed Land of Gold.
