Festival Queens Slot by Microgaming

Festival Queens Bonus Rounds and Free Spins

As the reels of the Festival Queens slot spin, several types of bonus rounds are available to you. Their description is in the paytable and the game help.

Festival Free Spins Bonus becomes available for three, four or five Scatter symbols in the game screen. You are awarded 10, 15 or 20 free spins and a payout. After that, a new window opens in which you will need to select one of the four symbols with the "?" icon. One of the portraits of the dancers will become the Festival Queen picture and all combinations with it will pay a double prize. Free spins are played in the auto mode and all the game values are taken from the latest spin of the main game. By landing three to five Scatter symbols again, you will earn extra free spins. However, you will not be entitled to choose the Festival Queen.

Pick a Mask Bonus is available while the reels spin in the main game. After a random spin, one or more red masks come up above the reels. When there are five, the bonus round, Pick a Mask, will begin. Your goal is to select one of the five masks and earn a reward in coins for this. Its size depends on the total bet per spin.

Mystery Mask is an additional bonus that does not require any action from you. Symbols with a Venetian mask appear in the game window in groups of four symbols and turn into any regular symbol at the end of the spin. This transformation is only available for one symbol per spin. The Mystery Mask cannot replace Wild or Scatter symbols.

Symbols and Payouts of the Festival Queens Slot

Several types of symbols will come up in the game window during the spin. Some of them only award you a payout in credits, some activate additional bonus features and others simply earn you bonuses. All of them are listed in the pay table, which opens when you click the "?" button on the control panel.

The Wild symbol of the Festival Queens slot themed to music is an image with a multicoloured background and the word Wild. It appears only on the second, third and fourth reels. Being on the line with a winning or potentially winning combination, it replaces the missing symbol. The only symbol that cannot be replaced by Wild is Scatter. The Scatter symbol is an image with the blue background and the word Carnival. For three, four or five of these symbols, you will be awarded free spins and a payout in credits.

• 3 Scatters - 1 total bet and 10 free spins
• 4 Scatters - 2 times your total bets and 15 free spins
• 5 Scatters - 5 times your total bet and 20 free spins

The bonus symbol is the image of the Venetian mask. This symbol comes up in both the main and bonus games and turns into one of the regular symbols at the end of the spin. It does not earn you a reward itself, but raises your chances of forming a winning combination of other symbols.

Another special symbol, a red mask, appears over the game reels. As you collect a series of winning combinations, their number increases to five, after which a bonus game becomes available to you.

Regular symbols of the Festival Queens slot are grouped by their multipliers. The lowest reward is produced by three, four or five symbols of spades, hearts or tambourines - 5, 20 and 80 times your bet per line. A green mask and a drum for the same number of symbols will pay 10, 30 and 120 times your bet per line. An image with fireworks will award you with 20, 40 or 150 times your bet per line if you land three, four or five symbols in a winning combination.

Symbols with portraits of four female dancers are characterised by large payouts - 30, 50 or 200 times your bet per line for three, four or five symbols on the line. The highest-paying symbol of the Festival Queens slot is the game's logo. It pays you starting with as few as two symbols on the line - 2, 40, 100 and 1,000 times the bet per line.

How to Play the Festival Queens Slot

When loading the Festival Queens slot by Microgaming, you have 2,000 credits in your account which are used to bet on spins. Refreshing the web page will return your account to this level, even if the number of credits was more before that. Coins are used to bet on lines and to initially calculate the reward for a winning combination. Depending on the ratio of credits to coins, some game parameters change.

You can change the "value" of a coin in the Chip Size section with the - and + buttons. The minimum value is 0.01 credits, the maximum is 0.2. The bet per line can be modified in the Chips Per Line section, using the - and + buttons. The lowest bet per line is 1 coin, the highest one is 20. It should be noted that this is the number of coins that is placed on one line. The total bet on the spin is based on the number of selected paylines.

You can increase or decrease the number of active paylines in the Lines section. The minimum number of lines is 1 and the maximum is 40. In this case, the more lines are active, the higher the probability of earning a reward for a combination. The Bet Max button will configure the optimal bet for all parameters which is 160 coins.

The reward for winning combinations of regular symbols is based on two parameters - the bet per line and the multiplier for symbols. These two parameters are multiplied to produce your payout in coins. For example, three symbols of hearts land on a line with your bet per line of 20 coins. The multiplier for this combination is 5, so your payout will be 100 coins.

For Scatter symbols, the formula of payout calculation is different. It involves the multiplier and the total bet. For example, with the maximum bet for four Scatters and with the multiplier of x2, the payout will be 320 coins.

A green button with the white triangle is used to start the reels. After spinning, the rewards for combinations on all active lines are added up. Another way of spinning is auto spins. When you click the Auto Play button, a menu with 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 automatic spins is displayed. In this mode, the reels spin with the configured parameters without your participation. You can stop auto spins by clicking the Stop button, which replaces the Auto Play button on the control panel, or by waiting until the specified number of spins is complete. The control panel also has several information sections that show you the values you've entered:

• Demo Credits - your balance in credits
• Chip Size - the value of one game coin in credits
• Lines - the number of active lines
• Chips Per Line - your bet per line
• Bet - the total bet
• Paid - your win for the most recent spin
• Masks is a bonus option that displays how many transformations are available to you

A combination of identical symbols lining up in a row starting with the first reel on one active line is considered a winning one. Depending on the symbol type, a minimum possible combination is two or three symbols in a row. It is important for them to be on neighbouring reels. Other rules apply to Scatter symbols - what matters is the number of symbols rather than their positions on the reels. Play more casino games online for free with no download at neonslots.com.
