Divine Queen: Power of Sun

Divine Queen: Power of Sun sets its 6×5 grid in an Egypt that never happened, where a golden ruler watches over a desert of polished stone and answers to the sun rather than to any god. BGaming hands her a 97% RTP and a pay-anywhere engine, so eight matching symbols pay from anywhere on the screen and position stops mattering entirely. Refilling reels then clear each winner and drop fresh symbols into the gaps, which keeps a single spin alive for as long as it keeps finding combinations.

The mechanic carrying the whole design sits underneath all of that. Cell multipliers attach to winning positions and double every time the same cell wins again, climbing as far as x128, and several of them landing together will add their values together rather than compound them. The base game wipes the board clean before each spin. During free spins they accumulate for the full round, which is where almost all of the game’s ceiling lives.

Divine Queen: Heart of Ice started the series, and this follow-up keeps the same reactive heroine while trading a frozen palette for heat and gold. Medium-high volatility and a x5,000 cap leave it short of the heaviest grid releases, though five separate buy options open more routes into the bonus than most games of this shape bother with.

What Each Symbol Pays

Nine symbols pay here, split between four themed premiums and five coloured gems, with the Scatter sitting outside the set on its own terms. Every figure below is a multiple of your total bet rather than a line bet, so a 2.00 spin landing twelve sun compasses returns 100.00. Counts work in three bands, and the jump from the middle band to 12 or more is where the table stops being polite.

The sun compass does almost all the heavy lifting, paying 50x for twelve while the next symbol down manages 15x. That gap is the widest on the table by some distance, so a compass-heavy board behaves nothing like a board thick with anything else.

Below it the premiums fall away quickly, and the five gems occupy a narrow band where even the best of them returns 6.25x at twelve. Eight blue gems hand back 0.25x, which is a quarter of your stake for a winning combination. Those small hits exist to trigger refills and plant multipliers in cells rather than to pay you, and reading them any other way makes the base game look meaner than it is.

What the Scatter Is Worth

The Scatter pays independently of everything above, and because one reel holds a maximum of one, six is the most that can ever land.

• Four Scatters: 2x your bet, and the free spins round opens
• Five Scatters: 5x your bet
• Six Scatters: 100x your bet

Landing the full six is the single largest non-multiplier payout in the game, worth double what twelve sun compasses return.

Setting Your Bet Between 0.20 and 50.00

A 250-fold spread between the smallest and largest stake gives this one room to serve a twenty-cent spinner and a fifty-euro one from the same release. Nothing about the mechanics shifts as you climb. The pay-anywhere counts, the multiplier doubling and the x5,000 cap all behave identically, so what you are really choosing is how many spins you can sit through while the bonus takes its time arriving.

Two things move those figures in practice. Casinos apply their own maximum payout limits, so the bottom row will meet house rules at plenty of operators before the game itself objects. Operators can also narrow the range from BGaming’s defaults, which makes the 0.20 and 50.00 endpoints worth confirming wherever you land.

What the Buy Options Actually Cost

Because every purchase scales with your total bet, the buy menu stretches much further than the bet selector suggests. The same five options look like pocket change at the bottom of the range and like serious money at the top:

• Chance x10 (3x): 0.60 at minimum stake, 6.00 at 2.00, 150.00 at maximum
• Random Booster (20x): 4.00, 40.00, 1,000
• x32 Booster (250x): 50.00, 500.00, 12,500
• Free Spins (100x): 20.00, 200.00, 5,000
• Super Free Spins (500x): 100.00, 1,000, 25,000

That bottom line deserves a second look, because a single Super Free Spins purchase at maximum stake costs five hundred times the largest bet the game lets you place manually. The x32 Booster is stranger still, since 12,500 buys exactly one spin with x32 in every cell and no guarantee it produces anything.

Low Stakes Buy Patience, High Stakes Buy the Menu

At twenty cents the game is cheap to sit with, and sitting with it is the point. Base play resets multipliers every spin and the Scatters need four separate reels, so quiet stretches come as standard and the ability to ride them out matters more here than the size of any individual hit.

Climbing the range changes what is realistically available to you rather than how the game behaves. Chance x10 at 0.60 is an easy thing to switch on for a while, and the same option at 150.00 is a different decision entirely.

The Sound of a Sun That Never Sets

A warm desert theme sits under base play, built on strings and light percussion with enough air in it to stay tolerable across a long session. It holds the background rather than competing with the reels, which is the right call for a game where most spins resolve quietly.

Spin and stop sounds come through crisp and land cleanly, and that clarity earns its keep here because Scatters matter the moment they appear. You want to register one arriving without checking the reels to confirm it.

Wins Are Tiered, Not Flat

Separate cues mark the difference between a small gem hit and something worth watching. Refills carry their own falling sound as symbols drop into cleared cells, so a chaining spin tells you it is still running before the numbers catch up.

Multiplier cells get their own note when they double, distinct enough that a climbing grid becomes something you can follow by ear while watching the symbols instead.

The Bonus Gets Its Own Track

The door transition carries the loudest moment in the game, and the music changes completely on the other side of it. Free spins run on a separate track pitched darker than the base theme, matching the shift from daylight to violet dusk, and the return to normal play reverses it just as clearly.

Lining the audio change up with the visual one means the round announces itself twice over, which is exactly what a bonus needs at the moment it starts.

Who Are BGaming?

BGaming has operated out of Malta since spinning out of SoftSwiss in 2018, and the studio built its early reputation on provably fair titles at a point when crypto casinos were still a niche rather than a category. That origin still shapes the catalogue, which leans toward fast, legible games designed to be understood inside a spin or two rather than studied.

The output runs to several hundred titles across slots, casual games, cards, dice and scratch formats, distributed to operators through a client list that includes Stake, Bitstarz, Roobet and Gamdom. Licensing runs through the Malta Gaming Authority under a B2B critical gaming supply licence, with testing handled by BMM Testlabs and iTech Labs.

The Games That Built the Name

Elvis Frog in Vegas gave the studio its breakout character and remains the title most players name first, while Dig Dig Digger, Aztec Magic Deluxe and the Bonanza Billion series turned recurring mechanics into recognisable properties. Johnny Cash and Wild Cash have since joined that group, and the pattern across all of them is a strong central character carrying a mechanic simple enough to read immediately.

Streaming has become a genuine part of how BGaming designs, with the studio openly building titles around visible escalation and big on-screen multipliers because those read well on a broadcast. Divine Queen: Power of Sun sits squarely in that tradition, and BGaming’s own material names streamers as a target audience for it.

Where Divine Queen: Power of Sun Fits

The series began with Divine Queen: Heart of Ice, which put the same reactive heroine in a frozen setting and established the pay-anywhere grid and the cell multiplier system this sequel inherits. Power of Sun keeps the structure essentially intact while swapping the palette for heat, gold and a desert civilisation, which makes it a reskin in the most literal sense and a genuine continuation in terms of character.

What the sequel adds is the buy menu, since five separate purchase options give it more routes into the bonus than most releases in BGaming’s catalogue offer, and the Booster modes in particular have no equivalent in the original.

Our Take on Divine Queen: Power of Sun

Pay-anywhere grids with compounding multipliers are a crowded category by now, so the question with any new one is whether the compounding actually builds into something, and here it does, provided you reach the free spins round. Everything interesting about the design lives on the other side of four Scatters, which is a structure worth going in aware of rather than discovering forty spins deep.

The 97% RTP is the headline worth taking seriously, since it sits meaningfully above where most new releases land and it applies across the buy options rather than dropping when you purchase. BGaming has also resisted the usual trick of pricing the bonus so that buying it costs more than it returns on average, with the five options spanning a genuine range from a 3x nudge up to a 500x round that starts every cell one doubling ahead.

Where the game asks for patience is base play, and it asks for a good deal of it, because the multiplier reset wipes the board before every spin and the gem symbols pay so little that eight of the weakest return a quarter of your stake. Those small wins exist to plant multipliers and trigger refills rather than to pay you, which is a reasonable design choice as long as you are not expecting normal play to sustain a session on its own.

The ceiling is the genuine disappointment. A x5,000 cap sits below what several comparable grid releases reach, and pairing it with an advertised x128 cell multiplier creates an expectation the maths declines to meet, since multiplier cells sum rather than multiply and a grid carrying x16 and x8 together produces x24. That headline number describes one cell at its absolute peak rather than anything the board delivers collectively, and understanding that before you play will save a certain amount of confusion later.

What carries the game is the free spins round itself, where multipliers stop resetting and the grid gradually turns into a record of everywhere it has already paid, with cleared cells revealing values that climb and hold for the remainder of the round. Add a transition that genuinely changes the weather, moving the whole desert from bleached daylight into violet dusk behind a pair of carved doors, and the bonus earns the wait in a way the base game never tries to.

• Who it suits: players who enjoy watching a board improve across a round, anyone who values a high published RTP, and bonus buyers who want more than one price point to choose from. The 0.20 entry keeps long waits affordable.
• Who should look elsewhere: anyone wanting base play to entertain on its own terms, and players chasing the ceilings the heaviest grid slots offer.
