8 Treasures 1 Queen Slot Review: Money Shot and Free Games

8 Treasures 1 Queen builds its identity around two distinct forms of amplification. In the base game, five of a kind is tied to the value shown on the fifth reel; in Phoenix Queen Free Games, a locked Wild covers the third reel and multiplies wins.

Reading the base game

The official listing records a 3×5 layout and 243 Ways/Lines, while its description calls the game an all-ways slot. That supports describing 243 ways rather than 243 fixed paylines. The recorded information does not include a complete symbol paytable, so it would be misleading to invent ordinary symbol values or claim how a particular shorter combination pays.

The Money Shot Reel can show 100x, 200x, 300x, 400x, 500x, 800x, 1,000x, 2,000x, 3,000x, 4,000x, 5,000x, 8,000x or 10,000x the coin bet. The rules separately say that five-of-a-kind wins award 1,000x, 2,000x, 3,000x, 4,000x, 5,000x, 8,000x or 10,000x the coin bet. Those lists are not identical: the reel-value list also contains lower values.

Phoenix Queen’s locked reel

Three or four Scatters during the main game trigger Phoenix Queen Free Games, awarding eight or 28 games respectively. During the feature, reel 3 is fully covered by a locked expanded Wild, and that Wild multiplies all wins. The source does not state the multiplier amount, so the presence of a multiplier is confirmed but its numerical size is not.

The bonus can also extend. Two or three Scatters appearing during Free Games award two or eight additional games respectively. This creates a second trigger mapping inside the feature, different from the main-game mapping: three Scatters initially produce 8 games, while three during Free Games add 8; four main-game Scatters produce 28, while four are not described as a retrigger outcome.

The core appeal is the clear division of jobs: Money Shot attaches a defined bet-multiple value to five of a kind, while Free Games use a fixed reel-wide Wild to multiply all wins. The trade-off is that important math remains unquantified. The highest displayed Money Shot value is not, by itself, evidence of the game maximum: the rule distinguishes reel values from five-of-a-kind awards, and the second list starts at 1,000x. The multiplier inside Phoenix Queen Free Games is not quantified either. These gaps matter when comparing headline values, because neither the largest listed reel figure nor the number of awarded games establishes the final possible return. The 243-way label also does not replace a paytable; the supplied information cannot tell how ordinary symbol combinations contribute alongside the special five-kind award. Fruit Party 2 win-multiplier feature offers a useful comparison, although its rules remain distinct.

Configuration and limits

The first listed RTP option is 97.29%; the official page offers multiple options, and the operator may select another listed setting. Treat 97.29% as the first listed setting rather than a universal value. Volatility is rated 5/5, the layout is 3×5, and the Ways/Lines field is 243. The exact game page gives a release date of 8 April 2019.

A high volatility rating and a feature built around multipliers do not tell us how often the bonus starts or how frequently large Money Shot values appear. The available rules also leave the multiplier size unstated. A reader can understand the bonus’s structural effect, but cannot use these facts to calculate a session expectation or treat the highest listed reel value as a likely outcome.

Strengths and weak points

Strengths

The Money Shot Reel gives five-of-a-kind wins a concrete bet-based value, while the free-game Wild changes a fixed reel and multiplies every win, so each feature has a distinct, understandable role.

Weaknesses

The Wild multiplier amount, symbol frequencies, full paytable and maximum win are not established, and the unequal Money Shot value lists require care when judging which displayed values map to five-of-a-kind awards.

Our Editor’s View

8 Treasures 1 Queen is at its most distinctive when its two payout ideas are kept separate. The Money Shot Reel gives five-of-a-kind results a reel-specific bet-multiple value, while Phoenix Queen Free Games lock a Wild over reel 3 and multiply every win. The game’s all-ways presentation and explicit Scatter awards make the outline easy to follow, and the 8-versus-28 initial award gives the trigger count a real consequence.
