Solar Queen Slot Review

Details about Solar Queen

Solar Queen from Playson is a five reel, four row slot with 20 fixed paylines and a strong ancient Egypt flavour centred on Cleopatra. The game sits in the Flaming Frames series and uses a 10 spin cycle as its core mechanic. Volatility feels medium to high, while the official RTP sits at 95.78 percent, which is slightly under the figure I usually look for in modern video slots.

Bets on Solar Queen start at 0.20 per spin and rise to a maximum of 100, so both casual players and high rollers can find a level that suits them. The plain spin cap without a multiplier tops out at 200 times your stake, which is modest for this volatility band. The real attraction is the advertised 2,668x max win, driven by Flaming Frames and the progressive multiplier during hotter runs.

Solar Queen Gameplay and Design

Solar Queen gameplay and design work nicely together. The backdrop shows calm waters, dark blue skies and pyramids fading into the distance, while a mysterious Egyptian soundtrack sets the tone. At first the grid feels relaxed, but once the Flaming Frames counter starts ticking you sense the pace rising every spin. I like how even the base game can feel like it is building towards something, rather than just spinning away.

Symbols and Payouts in Solar Queen

Symbols and payouts in Solar Queen follow a clear structure, split into several value groups. At the bottom you have the card royals from 10 to Ace, which pay up to 3.00 for five of a kind at the reference stake. Above them sit four animal statues, including a cat and an owl, worth 6.00 for a full line. These low and mid tier hits land often enough to keep the balance ticking over.

The premium picture symbols in Solar Queen are where things become more interesting. Lions, extra birds and other creatures form the next band and can reach around 300 in payouts for five, depending on stake. Birds and jackals sit above that with wins up to about 375. Sitting on top is the Sun Queen herself, paying 20 for five of a kind and able to appear stacked, covering an entire reel for stronger lines.

On the special symbol side, Solar Queen uses a wild, a burning sun and a scarab scatter. The wild helps complete standard wins and can pay up to 1,000 when you land five in a line at higher stakes. Suns are key to the Flaming Frames mechanic, marking their positions for later wild conversion and raising the global multiplier when they hit existing frames. The winged scarab triggers free spins when it lands on reels one, three and five together.

Solar Queen Features

Solar Queen features revolve around the Flaming Frames 10 spin cycle. Each spin advances the counter and any sun symbol that lands ignites a frame around its position. Those frames cling to the reels until the tenth spin of the cycle, when every marked position turns into a wild. If you have managed to collect frames on several reels, that final spin can throw up some very strong screen coverage and decent combined line hits.

The other big Solar Queen feature is the progressive win multiplier tied to suns landing in existing frames. Each extra sun in a framed spot increases the multiplier by one for that 10 spin cycle, with no fixed ceiling stated. Any win that touches a Flaming Frame picks up that multiplier. When you trigger free spins with three scatters, the current multiplier carries over and new suns turn straight into sticky wilds, staying put for the rest of the bonus.

The 200 Spins Solar Queen Experience

During my own 200 spins Solar Queen experience, the Flaming Frames cycles came around fast enough, but many of them fizzled out with only small or even no returns. That fits the medium to high volatility profile rather well. The sessions that stood out were the ones where suns kept landing on existing frames, nudging the multiplier higher. When that multiplier rolled into free spins with sticky wilds, the balance finally jumped in a meaningful way.

Review Summary of Solar Queen

Reviewing Solar Queen as a regular slot player, I would say the game sits somewhere between solid and slightly underpowered. The 10 spin Flaming Frames cycle keeps you engaged, as you never feel far from a potentially big wild release. On the flip side, the cap of 200 times stake on a non multiplied spin and the 95.78 percent RTP make the maths model less generous than many recent Egyptian themed games.

For me, the best moments in Solar Queen come when you hit a decent multiplier in the base game and then drop the three scarab scatters for free spins. Carrying that multiplier into a round full of sticky wilds gives the slot its headline potential of 2,668x stake. If you enjoy cycles and like seeing progress build across several spins, this title has enough heat to justify regular short sessions.
