Empress Regnant: a Tang court slot with reel respins in King Kong

A 10-line imperial Chinese slot with two-way pays. Cover a whole reel with the empress wild and you get a respin; pagoda scatters on reels 1 and 5 start free spins.

Empress Regnant reels with the empress wild stacked down the whole of reel four, a gold Buddha, dragon ring, coin, pagoda and letter symbols, and 10 lines markers

The empress stacked top to bottom on reel 4 in the first screenshot isn't a coincidence. When the wild covers a full reel, the game gives you a respin, and in the third screenshot you can see the big RESPIN banner across the reels with her full-length portrait filling one column.

She only appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 and substitutes for everything except the scatter. The scatter is a tall stone pagoda that lands on reels 1 and 5 only. Two of them pay 0.50 at a 0.25 bet and trigger free spins, though the page doesn't say how many.

A "2 WAY PAY" badge sits in the top right during that respin, so lines pay from both ends. Ten lines, marked on pink pillars either side of a Tang-style palace.

The symbols, top to bottom

The silver Chinese coin is the top regular symbol at 20.00 for five (at 0.25). The gold dragon ring with a blue gem pays 10.00. A seated golden Buddha and a green jade lantern each pay 1.50 for five. The letters go from A (1.00) and K (0.75) down to Q, J and 10 at 0.50.

In the last screenshot two blue Js and the empress make a small 0.15 win on the middle row. Nothing dramatic, but it shows how the wild slots into a line.

The old description read like an Egyptian slot, with ankhs, Anubis and pharaoh masks, and even quoted up to 180 free games. None of that is here. If you want Egypt, Horus Eye is the one. For this game you'd need to get a King Kong game ID from an agent; the rest of the lobby is on the King Kong hub.

Ask the dealer: common questions

How do you get the respin in Empress Regnant?

The paytable says the empress wild triggers a respin when she covers an entire reel. She appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 only.
