Mythological Theme

In Greek mythology, the Phoenix is an immortal bird with colourful feathers that dies and is reborn. The Greek writer Herodotus attributed the origin of the story of the phoenix to Ancient Egypt. In modern times, the character Jean Grey of the X-Men has an extremely powerful and dangerous alter-ego known as The Phoenix.

Six or more FREE SPIN symbols trigger the Hold ‘N’ Link feature. During this feature, all FREE SPIN symbols are sticky. You start out with three free spins, and each spin with a new FREE SPIN symbol resets your count to three. Three consecutive spins without a new FREE SPIN symbol and the Hold ‘N’ Link feature ends and the free spin feature begins.

  • 13 FREE SPIN symbols pays out the MINOR jackpot

Free Spins

Free spin feature Phoenix Queen

You start the free spins round with as many free spins as you accumulated free spins symbols during the Hold ‘N’ Link feature. During each free spin, the multiplier of the corresponding free spin symbol is applied against any wins.

Conclusion

Phoenix Queen is a decent video slot. There are some interesting gameplay mechanics, with the Stack ‘N’ Link feature and the free spins, and the theme is certainly an interesting one. Although it does raise the question of who exactly is the Phoenix Queen?

That one question aside, the graphics are well made and the game is fun to play. All in all it is a pretty good slot game.
