Light & Wonder shipped this one back in 2013 under the Scientific Games banner, and it carries a small identity puzzle into 2026. The reel set you load might say Amazon Queen in the browser tab, while the casino lobby calls it Queen of the Wild. Same game code (amazonqueen_prt), same Mayan archway, same paired-parrot scatter. Just two marketing labels stapled to one math model. A bit confusing if you're cross-referencing forums, but harmless once you spin.

The grid is the usual WMS template: 5 reels, 3 rows, 20 lines, bets from one cent up to sixty bucks. RTP sits at 95.94%, which is honestly the most dated thing about it. Sub-96 was standard a decade ago. In 2026 it reads a little stingy compared with modern Pragmatic or Hacksaw releases, though the medium variance keeps base spins from feeling cruel.

Here's where the design earns its keep. The gorilla premium pays both ways. Every other icon (durian fruit, wood-and-gem card pendants, the coiled snake) sticks to standard left-to-right. So the top-paying symbol effectively gets two chances per spin to land a winning line at 750x line stake. It's a quirky asymmetric rule WMS used on only a handful of legacy titles, and it absolutely changes how a hit-frequency math feels in your hand.

And then the wilds. Wilds only land on reels 2, 3, and 4, and every single one expands instantly to fill its entire reel. Catch one and the centre column locks solid. Catch wilds on all three middle reels at once? The whole middle of the grid becomes a wall of substitutes, with only the two outer reels still showing actual symbols. It's loud, satisfying, and surprisingly common during the bonus because the free-spin reel set runs heavier wild density on those exact middle three.

The free spins ladder is what made the game a small cult favourite. Three parrots gives you 10 spins. Four gives 25. Five parrots dumps 100 free spins on the screen, and that figure was practically unheard of in 2013, when most slots capped bonuses at 20 to 30. Retriggers use the same ladder. So yes, a five-scatter retrigger inside the bonus stacks another hundred on top. Is it likely? Not even close. But the ceiling exists, which is more than you can say for plenty of modern slots that quietly cap things.
