About Queen of Bounty
Queen of Bounty is a PG Soft slot released on 2 November 2020, a date SlotCatalog confirms. Respinix lists 2022, plainly a data-sheet error: we keep 2020.
The format is as ordinary as it gets: 5 reels, 3 rows, 20 fixed paylines. Fixed means non-adjustable — you pay for all twenty on every spin. At the €0.20 minimum stake that works out to one cent per line. The whole interest of the game lies elsewhere, in how wins are processed.
Every paid combination removes its symbols; those above drop down and new ones fall from the top to fill the gaps. If that refill forms a new combination, the sequence continues. A spin is therefore not a single event but a chain, and the length of that chain decides what it is worth.
The converter is a multiplier ladder. The first win in a chain pays at 1x, the second at 2x, the third at 3x and the fourth at 5x, the base-game maximum. Four consecutive cascades are required to reach the top, and the ladder resets on every new spin. That is more demanding than it appears: most chains stop at the first or second rung, and 5x stays a rare event.
Three or more scatters trigger the free spins, and this is where the game gets interesting. Rather than a single format, PG Soft offers three options: 20 spins with the gentlest multipliers, 10 spins with an intermediate ladder, or 5 spins with the steepest ladder, topping out at 40x. FreeSlots99 details those rungs and also lists retriggers of 4, 2 and 1 spins respectively; PG Soft does not publish these intermediate values on its official page, so we attribute them without validating them.
Here is the point nobody states clearly enough: all three options share the same RTP. The theoretical return is 96.74%, a single figure, and the selector does not move it. Twenty spins on weak multipliers and five spins on strong ones must therefore balance out in expectation. What you are adjusting is the spread of outcomes: the 5-spin option concentrates everything into a handful of events, the 20-spin option spreads it out. There is no correct choice, only a choice consistent with your bankroll.
On €100 staked, that 96.74% RTP theoretically leaves €3.26 with the house across a very large number of spins. In our sweep of PG Soft's published figures, values run from 96.68% to 96.95%: Queen of Bounty sits in the middle, with no notable edge or handicap.
Stakes run from €0.20 to €100 a spin. The maximum win is 50,000x, a figure given by both PG Soft's official page and SlotCatalog — a rare agreement worth flagging, since on other titles from this studio those two sources diverge by a factor of 28. In money: €10,000 at minimum stake, €50,000 at €1 and €5 million at €100. That last figure is theoretical, as no operator pays out a sum like that on a single spin; casino payout caps bite long before.
PG Soft rates this title's session volatility at 2, against 3 for its twitchiest games, and SlotCatalog calls it medium. The two agree, and it fits a 50,000x ceiling rather than the 100,000x shown across much of the catalogue. No bonus buy is documented: neither the official page, nor SlotCatalog, nor FreeSlots99 mentions one. Within the studio's catalogue, this title sits alongside Captain's Bounty, Treasures of Aztec and Wild Fireworks.
