At first glance, Jolly Queen is a classic one-armed bandit. The overall visual appearance does not say that there is plenty of action going on. As you know, the looks can be deceiving. The reels are set against a purple curtain with golden embroidery. Loads of golden crowns can be seen on the curtain.
Even the soundtrack is standard and reminds me of an old-school slot machine that is available in land-based casinos and pubs.
When it comes to symbols populating the reels, you will not encounter any surprises. Endorphina used all the standard fruit symbols found in almost every fruit machine out there. Lucky seven leads the group of high-value icons. It is followed by grapes and watermelon.
The bell is next in line. You will also land plenty of plums, oranges, and lemons. The star is the Scatter that triggers the Free Games feature with guaranteed Wilds.
Speaking of Wilds, the Jolly Queen is the Wild and it appears only on the 3 central reels. The treasure chest is the Scatter that triggers the Royal Treasures Pick Game feature.
The rules of the game are as simple as 1, 2, 3. The 2024 release benefits from 5 reels, 5 rows, and 50 fixed paylines. The Endorphina title pays left to right, beginning from the leftmost reel. 3-of-a-kind is the minimum for landing payouts. Only lucky seven pays for 2-of-a-kind.
Each spin costs you 50 coins. The coin denomination can be altered. You can bet as low as $0.50 and as high as $100 per spin. The RTP of the pokie is 96.04%, while 10,000x the bet is the max win per spin.
Even though Jolly Queen is a classic pokie machine in its essence, the 2024 release offers more than enough additional features. Even a hard-core action junkie like myself has to admit that the Endorphina title will keep you busy for hours.
You will have plenty of fun with Expanding Wilds and free games with guaranteed Wilds. Also, there is the Royal Treasures Pick Game, which is hard to trigger, but can be very rewarding. Finally, the Risk game is there to help you boost your wins.
Jolly Queen is the Wild that appears on reels 2, 3, and 4. Each time a Wild lands, it can expand to cover the entire reel. This happens only if a Wild can form a winning combo. I had so much fun with the Wild in this pokie.
Wilds appeared often and usually on reels 2 and 3. I never got three Wild reels. However, I took advantage of plenty of double Wilds. My biggest win was around 100x in the base game.
With 3, 4, or 5 star Scatters on the reels, you will trigger 10, 15, or 20 free games, respectively. Every free game comes with at least 1 guaranteed Wild. With 3+ extra Scatters, you can retrigger the feature.
I had plenty of luck with free games while I tested the game. I triggered the feature 6 times in total and on 3 occasions even managed to retrigger the feature. None of the total wins were lower than 150x. The most I got was 30 free games and a total win of around 500x.
Treasure chest Scatters appear only on reels 1, 3, and 5. Once all 3 of them are on the reels, you will trigger the Royal Treasures Pick Game. You get to pick between 3 chests and reveal a 10x, 20x, or 50x multiplier.
It was hard for me to trigger this feature. It happened only once. However, it was a great success because I landed the 50x multiplier.
The Risk game is available after every winning spin. If you beat the dealer and reveal a stronger card, you will double your win. The process can be repeated 10 times in succession. I used this option regularly. The trick is not to overdo it.
For example, if you get 2-3 wins in succession, my advice is to quit while you’re ahead. If you stay too long, you will lose everything. At least, that was the case with me. Of course, this will not guarantee wins on every try.
However, the good part of the story is that you can exit the feature when you think that there is no way that you might get a bigger card than the dealer.
I love it when I am surprised by a quality classic pokie. When I started testing the Endorphina title, I thought it would be one of those pokie machines where you only press the Spin button and wait for a win. Fortunately for me, I was wrong.
My favourite feature is the Free Games feature. I triggered it often and it was pretty generous to me. However, it might not be as generous to other players.
Nevertheless, I firmly believe that Jolly Queen is worth your attention. It is simple to understand and fun to play. That’s why I rate it 8.4.
