Inca Queen by Pragmatic Play on 1xBet: coins, frames and respins
The developer's demo uses virtual credits.
Inca Queen is a five-reel slot from Pragmatic Play built around two collectible objects rather than free spins. A COIN symbol and a frame can land anywhere on the grid, and both feed separate pots that drive a chain of respin features. The WILD symbol is the Inca Queen portrait. It appears only on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5, and it substitutes for all symbols except the COIN symbol.
A Wild cannot stand in for a Coin. The line wins and coin collections are separate.
What the Pragmatic Play demo shows
The studio demo runs directly in the browser, with no account needed. The right-side circular arrow enters the game. The lower-left Information button opens nine pages of rules, including the paytable and the feature descriptions. Spin and stake controls sit below the right-hand side of the board.
In the inspected session the demo showed 100,000 virtual USD-formatted credits and a two-credit total stake. The board also displayed a 500-credit cost for Buy Respins, with an alternative 60-credit stake shown switched off. Those are demo-side observations, not recommendations.
The demo paytable records actual awards in virtual credits at the two-credit stake. Do not multiply these numbers by the stake again.
| Symbol | 3 of a kind | 4 of a kind | 5 of a kind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inca ruler | 2 | 16 | 60 |
| Jaguar | 1.6 | 6 | 20 |
| Green snake | 1.4 | 5 | 12 |
| Toucan | 1.4 | 4 | 10 |
| A and K, each | 1.2 | 3 | 6 |
| Q, J and 10, each | 1 | 2 | 5 |
At the two-credit stake, five ruler symbols pay 60 virtual credits. Five of the same Q, J or 10 symbol pay 5 credits.
How an ordinary spin settles
Symbols pay from left to right on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. Only the highest win on a line is paid, and when several lines win, the amounts are added to the total win. All wins are multiplied by the bet per line.
Respins and bonus wins are added on top of the payline win rather than replacing it. The base bet means the stake before any feature-related increase, and all values are expressed as actual wins in coins. A respin win is paid out once the round completes.
Coins, frames and the pots
When a COIN symbol lands, it is collected into the COIN pot. Each coin takes a random value from a fixed set, expressed as a multiple of the base bet. When a frame appears on one or more symbols, each frame is collected into the frame pot. The developer's help notes describe these collections as graphic representations kept for entertainment purposes.
| Coin label | Base bet multiples |
|---|---|
| Ordinary coin value | 1×, 2×, 3×, 4×, 5×, 8×, 10×, 15×, 30×, 100× or 200× |
| Mini | 20× |
| Minor | 50× |
| Major | 250× |
To picture a coin's worth, take a simple hypothetical. If the base bet equals your total stake and a coin carries the 20x MINI value, that coin represents twenty times your stake. The same logic applies to every entry in the set, and the values are drawn at random on each collection.
Three respin features that end in the same place
Each collection type can trigger its own respin round, and each of those rounds ends by handing over to the MONEY RESPIN feature.
| Feature | What triggers it | What ends it |
|---|---|---|
| COIN RESPIN | A COIN symbol is collected | 6 COIN symbols stop on the grid |
| FRAME RESPIN | A frame is collected | 6 frames appear on the grid |
| COIN AND FRAME RESPIN | Both a COIN symbol and a frame are collected | 6 COIN symbols stop and 6 frames appear |
While these features run, only COIN symbols spin and frames can appear in random positions. Coins and frames are held in place as they land. The combined version adds a random multiplier of 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 8x or 10x, and it applies to the value of all coins in the round and to the following MONEY RESPIN feature.
The regular respin and how retriggers work
Collecting six or more coins, or six frames, triggers a regular respin round with three respins. The same feature can also start at the end of any of the three respin features above. All coins and frames from the spin that triggered it are held to the end of the round.
During the round only coins and blanks spin, and frames can still appear in random positions. Every new coin or frame is held in place, and each time that happens the respin count resets back to three. Any position holding both a coin and a frame becomes an active position.
If six or more active positions exist when the round ends, the MONEY RESPIN feature is retriggered and starts from the beginning. Frames are cleared, and coins in the active positions are held for the next round. When the round began with the combined feature, each retrigger awards a new multiplier from the same 2x to 10x range, applied to all coin values. The new multiplier is always equal to or greater than the previous one. There are no limits to the number of possible retriggers.
The MONEY RESPIN feature and the GRAND prize
The MONEY RESPIN round ends when no respins remain, or when all fifteen positions holding both a coin and a frame are filled. When it ends, the values of all coins on screen are added together and paid. If all fifteen positions fill with coins, a 2000x GRAND prize in base bet is awarded as well.
The round can run out of respins before all fifteen positions fill. The feature uses special reels.
How a SPECIAL coin resolves
Coins can randomly carry the value SPECIAL. At the end of the round, each SPECIAL coin on screen gets its value from a SPECIAL SYMBOL RESPIN feature.
That feature awards three respins and lets up to six coins with random values hit and stop. Only coins and blanks spin. Each time one more coin lands, it stays in place and the respin count resets to three. The feature ends when respins run out or six positions are filled. The values of all coins on screen are then added together, and that total becomes the value of the SPECIAL symbol.
Filling all six positions adds a final step. Either a multiplier on the total value or the maximum win is randomly awarded, with multiplier options of 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 50x or 100x.
Where 1xBet fits for readers
This guide for 1xBet readers uses the official Pragmatic Play Inca Queen demo and its native rules.
Access to the studio demo and to any operator lobby can differ by country, so check what is open to you before looking for the title. The demo itself is the cleanest way to verify the paytable values shown above and the exact button layout, since the interface in the inspected session placed the spin and stake controls below the right-hand side of the board.
The studio notes also flag that a malfunction voids all pays and plays, and that the SPACE and ENTER keys can start and stop a spin.
Questions readers ask
- Does the wild replace coins? No. The WILD substitutes for all symbols except the COIN symbol, so a coin still has to land on its own to be collected.
- Where does the wild appear? On reels 2, 3, 4 and 5 only, never on the first reel.
- Are the pots real money? The developer describes the coin and frame collections as graphic representations kept for entertainment purposes. Actual payouts come from the summed coin values in the MONEY RESPIN round.
- Does the number of respins run down? It resets to three every time a new coin or frame locks into place during a regular respin round, and retriggers have no set limit.
