Queens of Ra POWER COMBO

Queens of Ra POWER COMBO: Slot Overview

Queens of Ra POWER COMBO is an online slot from Games Global partner All41 Studios and a continuation of the POWER COMBO range. Other related games from this outfit we've encountered so far include titles like Kings of Crystals, Chests of Gold POWER COMBO, and Eggz! POWER COMBO. Those three slots more or less delivered the same gameplay, so the thought of another one wasn't the most thrilling idea we've ever contemplated. However, for Queens of Ra POWER COMBO, All41 Studios has had a go at shuffling the features. So, while at its core, Queens of Ra POWER COMBO follows a similar blueprint, there is new stuff here to take for a test drive.

What's not so new is the theme since it's an Ancient Egyptian number and all. We've lost count of the number of these sorts of games that exist now, and like a modern international financial system run by AI, perhaps no human being can these days fathom the entirety of the numbers. Jokes aside, Queens of Ra POWER COMBO is a good-looking example of an Ancient Egyptian slot, mildly land-based in feel, and starring 3 powerful looking queens, commanding three hopefully effective features.

Like the theme, Queens of Ra POWER COMBO's setup is conventional as well, constructed using a 5-reel, 3-row grid matrix covered in 40 paylines. Available in four different RTP models, the highest is 96.2% before going all the way down to 86.9%, depending on the market. Very highly volatile, players may select a bet of 20 pc to $/€20 and can theoretically expect a hit frequency of 32.45% when playing on the highest RTP model.

Along a payline, when at least 3 matching symbols land left to right from the first reel onwards, a reward is triggered. The value for doing so with 5 matching symbols is 1 times the bet when made up of low pay 10-A card royals, or 2 to 5 times the bet for the higher value jackal head, eye, flower, ankh, or scarab jewellery symbols. Lending a helping hand from reels 2, 3, and 4 is a blazing temple wild. Wilds can substitute for all symbols except the scatter.

Queens of Ra POWER COMBO: Slot Features

In this section, we'll be covering the LINK&WIN round with its Twin Power, Jackpot Power, and Collection Power features, plus a bonus buy.

LINK&WIN

The three queen symbols are scatters which can trigger the LINK&WIN with their own feature or in combination with several features. When triggered, seemingly at random, whenever a scatter lands and is collected, 3 respins are awarded. During the round, only Scarab Coins and blank positions may land. Scarab Coins have values of 0.5x to 20x the bet. Triggering scatters transform into Scarab Coins at the start of the feature and remain on the screen till the round ends. New Scarab Coins also stick while resetting the respin count when they land. The round ends when respins run out or all positions are filled. Filling all positions also awards Mini, Major, and Mega Jackpots worth 10x, 100x, or 5,000x the bet.

• The Green scatter can trigger the LINK&WIN with Twin Power. In this one, there are 2 grids with 5 reels and 3 rows. Both reels have an individual spin count.
• The Red scatter triggers the LINK&WIN with Jackpot Power. During this one, Scarab Coins can also be red, blue, or green. Collecting 3 of the same colour awards the respective jackpot mentioned above.
• The Blue scatter triggers the LINK&WIN with Collection Power. Landing at least 1 Scarab Coin on the reels re-collects the values from all Scarab Coins that landed on the same reel set on previous spins.

It is possible for the LINK&WIN to trigger with 1, 2, or 3 active Powers.

Buy Feature

The buy feature lets players buy the LINK&WIN with the combination of Powers they would like to trigger. The various options range in price from 23x to 117x the bet.

Queens of Ra POWER COMBO: Slot Verdict

Players who like a good bit of LINK&WIN action should be pretty happy with what Queens of Ra POWER COMBO has to offer. If they're the sort of gambler that likes a slot theme as traditional as Ancient Egypt, then even better. Using such a recognisable theme may well make this one of the most accessible POWER COMBO games, but it lacks some of the personality found in some previous POWER COMBO releases. Of course, those in the middle ground may not be phased either way with the change of window dressing, as Queens of Ra POWER COMBO remains a jazzed-up hold 'n win game with a trio of jackpots tacked on.

In other words, this is, in some ways, pretty standard stuff from a Games Global partner studio since the group as a whole really seems to favour these sorts of features. For players into them, Queens of Ra POWER COMBO does stuff not really seen before. Like other POWER COMBO games, the more powers you can trigger at once (or buy), the more spectacular the gameplay may be, as multiple features trigger left and right. Having a dual reel set emphasised this effect, but the Collection Power was quite interesting as well. Re-awarding coins that hit on previous spins isn't something that pops up in these sorts of games a lot, if ever, and it wouldn't be the worst thing to see it catch on. The other feature, Jackpot Power, is a straight medley of jackpots, and winning the top 5,000x one also wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

When all was said and done, Queens of Ra POWER COMBO presented a pleasant surprise, on the whole. It does what it does quite well and has one or two fairly unique tricks up its sleeve. Some of the surprise was due to the fact the last few POWER COMBO slots were a little meh, but there's entertainment to be had here for the right LINK&WIN enthusiast.
