Festival Queens Slots
Mardi Gras is the name of the carnival celebrations held in New Orleans, Lousiana, every year during winter. This huge party is an excellent occasion to dive into the party culture of the Southern United States, and of course to have a lot of fun!
Festival Queens is a 2x2 Gaming video slot game that got its inspiration from this world-renown party. So you can expect a lot of glitter, extravagant costumes and masks in this one-of-a-king game that will leave a lasting impression! It sits well in a genre with other exciting titles like Samba Carnival.
So without further ado, let’s travel to New Orleans and enter this fabulous world of party and fun.
Play Hard, Win Big
Festival Queens is all about Mardi Gras, and the unique atmosphere of those very special days in New Orleans.
The background shows abstract colour bubbles floating around in the dark. It is not clear what they exactly are, except perhaps colourful reflections bouncing off the glittering costumes and adornments in which the city is covered.
Despite this apparent simplicity, the atmosphere of the game is uniquely festive and positive. You will feel transported right to the heart of the party and you will be asking for more! A proof than simple graphics can be enough to create a truly immersive universe instantaneously.
Party Rules
Before heading to the festivities, it is important to review some ground rules to make sure that everyone is having fun – and that you put all chances on your side to win big.
You have five reels and 40 potential paylines to play on in Festival Queens, which is quite a lot! You can use the commands located at the bottom of the game screen in order to customise your settings. The (+) and (-) buttons are there to let you choose a coin denomination, the number of coins to bet and the number of paylines to activate.
You can also use the numbered tabs that flank the reels on both side to activate or deactivate paylines freely. Remember that you have to risk more in order to win the highest rewards! The Bet Max button is there to let you go all-in with a single click. Else, hit the green Play button to let the reels spin loose. Winning combinations landing on activated paylines trigger cash rewards that depend on both the symbols aligned and the amount of your wager.
Finally, try out the Autoplay mode if you are in the mood for an uninterrupted game; just set a predetermined number of spins and let the computer do the spinning while you sit back and watch the action unravel before your eyes!
The Life and Soul of the Party
Let’s now take a closer look at the paytable of Festival Queens and see what the reels of the game have in store for us.
We start with a few card symbols, Spades and Hearts, which lie at the lower end of the paytable together with a Hand Drum. These first symbols are followed by another set of Drums, a beautiful Mask and Fireworks.
Four magnificent Queens of the carnival, wearing colourful outfits, top off the menu. They symbolise the spirit of Mardi Gras on their own and they are also amongst the most valuable basic symbols of the menu. The game Logo is indeed even more rewarding: 1,000 times your wager for a five Logo combination. But the fun does not end here…
Final Surprises
There is a Wild symbol in Festival Queens that can only appear on reels 2, 3, 4 or 5. It replaces any basic symbols to create new winning combinations.
Some positions on the reels are randomly covered by a Mystery White Mask, which will stay in place until the last second before it reveals the actual symbol hidden behind it. It’s a little trick to add some more suspense to the mix.
Landing three or more Carnival Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels trigger a round of Free Spins (up to 20!). The perfect way to win some more gold without putting anything up front.
And lastly, the Pick a Mask Bonus round can be triggered randomly after any spin in base game. Your task will simple be to choose carnival masks to reveal an extra cash prize to add to your personal stash.
Colourful and Rewarding
Festival Queens has a lot of arguments in its favour, and the various bonuses simply speak for themselves. Add to that the 40 paylines and great graphics, and you have a unique slot game that you will not forget any time soon after you have played it! If you like this kind of unique game try other games from 2by2 like Crystal Gems.
