Eternal Empress – Freeze Time Slot Review

Eternal Empress  Freeze Time Slot Review

Eternal Empress  Freeze Time drops you into a metallic, almost Art Deco chamber where the Empress hovers beside a 5d3 grid and a giant time portal-style clock. You get 243 ways to win rather than fixed paylines, so any matching symbols from left to right on adjacent reels can hit. The theme leans into time manipulation, but the core is a money symbol collect slot with a twist bolted on during the bonus round.

Bets start at 0.20 and climb up to 240 per spin, so I could play it as both a low-stakes tester and a higher-stakes grind. Volatility sits on the high side, with a hit rate around 23 percent, meaning wins arrive roughly every fourth or fifth spin. I found the base game reasonably active, mainly thanks to the Money symbols and Ruby collectors that stop it feeling like a dead spin marathon.

Symbols and Paytable in Eternal Empress  Freeze Time

The symbol set in Eternal Empress  Freeze Time sticks to a clear split between low and high pays. The lower-paying 10, J, Q, K, and A card ranks pay between 0.5x and 2x your stake for five-of-a-kind wins. Premiums are a pocket watch, ring, purple sphere, golden mask, and the Eternal Empress herself, paying from 2.5x up to 7.5x your bet for five across the reels.

The regular wild symbol appears only on reels 2, 3, and 4, standing in for all standard pays. That wild is also the Money symbol, carrying a random cash value from 1x up to 250x stake in the main game. Scatter symbols trigger free spins, while Ruby symbols on reels 1 and 5 act as collectors. During the bonus, Clock and Padlock symbols become important as they control when time freezes and unfreezes.

Base Game & Money Collect Feature in Eternal Empress  Freeze Time

Base game play in Eternal Empress  Freeze Time uses the 243 ways engine, so I only needed three or more matching symbols from the leftmost reel on consecutive reels to hit. The interesting part comes from those Money wilds sitting on the middle three reels. Whenever a Ruby symbol lands on reel 1 or 5, it collects the total value of all Money symbols in view, paying everything in one shot straight into the win meter.

Multiple Ruby symbols can show at once, and each one collects the full sum of all visible Money values, which is where base game spins can suddenly spike. Seeing a couple of 50x or 100x Money symbols drop and then watching two Rubies sweep them up feels great, especially during long sessions. I treated the collect feature as my main source of medium wins while waiting for scatters to line up.

Free Spins and Freeze Time Feature in Eternal Empress  Freeze Time

Three or more scatter symbols anywhere on the reels award 10 free spins on special reels in Eternal Empress  Freeze Time. Free spins keep the Money wild and Ruby collect setup from the base game, so you still get regular collects during the bonus. What changes is that two extra symbols join the party. A Clock symbol can appear only on reel 1, while a Padlock symbol can appear only on reel 5.

Hit Clock and Padlock together on the same free spin and the Freeze Time feature kicks in. All Money symbols on that triggering spin remain locked on the grid, and the game starts respinning the remaining positions while your free spins counter pauses. New Money wilds that land also lock in place, and Ruby symbols keep collecting every value on screen between each respin. During this mode, Money symbol values are capped at 50x stake rather than the full 250x.

Freeze Time only ends when Clock and Padlock land together again during a respin, at which point free spins start ticking down once more. There is no retrigger, so 10 spins is all you get, with any extra action coming from those respins. In my sessions, hitting Freeze Time felt fairly rare, but when it did line up with decent Money values already locked in, the bonus round could climb quickly into serious territory.

RTP, Volatility and Max Win in Eternal Empress  Freeze Time

Eternal Empress  Freeze Time ships with three RTP settings, with 96.50 percent as the default and lower setups at 95.50 and 94.50 percent, depending on where you play. Volatility is high, backed up by a hit frequency around 22.9 percent and a free spins hit rate of roughly one bonus in 177 spins. The official maximum win is 4,888x stake, which I would call fair rather than spectacular for a high volatility, money collect slot.

Our Honest Verdict on Eternal Empress  Freeze Time

From a regular players perspective, Eternal Empress  Freeze Time sits in that comfortable middle ground between casual and hardcore. The visuals do the job without stealing the show, but the Money Collect mechanic keeps the base game ticking, and Freeze Time adds a neat spin on sticky wild respins. The main drawback is the slightly capped top end; if you chase monster multipliers, you might find the 4,888x limit a bit tame for long-term grinding.
