Crystal Queen Slot

Crystal Queen is a winter-themed video slot from Quickspin based on HC Andersen’s Snow Queen tale. It offers an engaging gaming experience with unique features like expanding rows, increasing paylines, swooping reels, and a thrilling bonus round that pays both ways.

This review explores all you need to know to get the most out of its exciting gameplay and features.

Design, Soundtrack & First Impressions

The Crystal Queen slot is based on the famous Snow Queen story—the inspiration behind Walt Disney's Frozen—so it shouldn’t be a surprise that it is set in a winter wonderland with a magical tune playing in the background. The symbols include a Queen, Prince, Princess, and Reindeer. The game is played on a 5x6 grid, but the top 3 rows are frozen—you can thaw and start using them as you play, but more on that in a few.

Crystal Queen Rules and Gameplay

Before you jump into playing this slot, you should become familiar with the features and mechanics it offers to help you maximize your gaming experience.

Paylines and Symbols

Crystal Queen has 20 paylines by default, but with its innovative cascading Swooping Reels feature, you can increase them up to 56 as you thaw the frozen rows.

The symbols are a mix of the classic card symbols, and to match the theme, there is a Queen, a Princess, and a Prince symbol. The Queen is the highest paying symbol—it pays 5 times your bet for landing five-of-a-kind—while the cards are the lowest paying.

The slot also has a couple of special symbols that unlock special features and bonus rounds, namely:

• Wild: Substitutes for all symbols except the scatter and the spreading wild.
• Spreading Wild: A Wild that transforms 1 to 5 adjacent symbols into wilds.
• Scatter: Activates the Free Spins round.

You can find more details about the symbols and their payouts in the section below.

Gameplay & Betting Mechanics

Crystal Queen features a cascading reels mechanic, referred to as swooping reels. They let you melt the frozen rows, unlocking more paylines and increasing a multiplier that will apply to your wins.

Cascading Reels

When you form a winning combination, the symbols involved are removed from the reels, and new ones fall into their place. If the new symbols form winning combinations, they also disappear, and new ones fall into their place. This continues until no new combinations are formed, and the three rows are frozen again.

With each consecutive win, a row melts, the paylines increase, and the multiplier grows. Here's the breakdown:

• Start: 3 rows, 20 paylines, 1x multiplier
• One win: 4 rows, 32 paylines, 2x multiplier
• Two consecutive wins: 5 rows, 44 paylines, 3x multiplier
• Three consecutive wins: 6 rows, 56 paylines, 5x multiplier

The rows, paylines, and multipliers don't increase after the third consecutive win.

Bonus Rounds

Crystal Queen has a Free Spins bonus round activated by landing 3 or more Scatters anywhere on the reels. When you activate it:

• You receive 10 Free Spins.
• The entire 5x6 grid is unlocked.
• You get to use 56 paylines.
• Paylines pay both ways.

With the pay-both-ways mechanics, the bonus round has a whopping 112 paylines! Combined with the increasing multipliers, it doubles your chances of forming winning combos and adds excitement to each spin. Remember, the Free Spins can't reset, but with the swooping reels feature triggering after every win, the bonus round can last long and lead to exciting wins.
