Jolly Queen Slot by Endorphina

The Wild only ever lands on the three centre reels, and it never shows up small. Whenever it hits reel 2, 3 or 4 it stretches vertically to fill the entire reel, turning a single symbol into a five-high column that substitutes for everything except the star Scatter and the crown Bonus. That's the engine of the base game. During Free Games it goes further: every single spin is guaranteed to drop at least one expanding Wild somewhere across reels 2 to 4, so no free spin runs completely dry.

Three or more star Scatters land Free Games, counting from any position, and the count scales cleanly: three gives 10 spins, four gives 15, five gives 20. They retrigger, and Scatter wins are added on top of any line pay rather than replacing it. The round runs at your triggering bet.

Separate from all of that is the Royal Treasures Pick Game, tied to the ornate golden crown Bonus symbol that only appears on reels 1, 3 and 5. Land three of them, in the base game or mid-bonus, and three chests open up. Pick one for a flat 10x, 30x or 50x your total bet, then it's straight back to the reels. There's also a card gamble on any line win, picking face-down cards to beat the dealer up to ten times in a row, and a network progressive mystery jackpot across Grand, Major and Minor tiers that can drop at random with no input from you.

The look is a fruit machine dressed for court. Glossy traditional symbols, red cherries, purple plums, oranges, lemons, blue grapes, sliced watermelon, plus a golden bell and a fat red 7, all sitting against a deep purple backdrop quilted with little gold crowns. No buy feature here, so the only way into the bonuses is through the reels themselves.
