Regular wins are helped by having wild symbols in play (the lady) and stacked symbols. You will often get entire reels (each reel has 4 rows) covered in the same symbol on many spins. Where these combine with wilds you will often trigger several of the 50 win lines at the same time on River Queen – triggering the brass instruments sound.

The highest paying symbol in the River Queen slot is the lady (I am assuming the boat, rather than this lady, is the river queen!). Lining up 5 of these wild symbols will pay 1000 coins, with 200 for 4 and 60 coins for 3. This makes the biggest possible payout for a single regular spin 50,000 coins – for hitting stacked lady symbols in every possible position. As the wild this lady will create wins on many win-lines by substituting for all of the regular symbols (though not the steamboat scatters).
Next comes the card sharp, who looks the part with a wide-brimmed hat. This symbol is worth 400 coins for 5, 100 for 4 and 40 for 3 from the left. 4 Aces comes next at 300 for 5, then the dice and casino chips which share a 200-coin top prize. Playing card symbols, which have been designed to look just like the old style decks, make up the smaller wins.
Scatter symbols do have a prize in the video slot River Queen, though their main role is to trigger the free spins bonus feature. Hitting 5 steamboats anywhere on the reels will get you 10,000 coins, with 1000 for 4 and 100 for 3. You'll then get 10 free spins, where you will find that the position of the triggering scatters makes a big difference.
Moving Steamboats on the River Queen Bonus Feature

The base award is for 10 free spins, though these are made more profitable than the base game thanks to moving sticky wilds. The steamboats from the triggering spin expand to cover 2 of the symbols, and look like a steamboat seen from above. These move for each spin, randomly traveling up and down the reel. Sometimes they will go off of the edge, which means you only get 1 wild on that reel – though most of the time each reel will have 2 wilds.
If your wilds are on consecutive reels, especially the middle 3, then you will get a lot of 4 of a kind wins when the boats line up well. If they are more distributed you still have the potential for big wins, though you will rely on the symbols on the remaining reels lining up well.
A riverboat casino is a type of casino on a riverboat found in several states in the United States with frontage on the Mississippi River and its tributaries, or along the Gulf Coast. Several states authorized this type of casino in order to enable gambling but limit the areas where casinos could be constructed; it was a type of legal fiction as the riverboats were seldom if ever taken away from the dock.
History[edit]
Paddlewheel riverboats had long been used on the Mississippi River and its tributaries to transport passengers and freight. After railroads largely superseded them, in the 20th century, they were more frequently used for entertainment excursions, sometimes for several hours, than for passage among riverfront towns. They were often a way for people to escape the heat of the town, as well as to enjoy live music and dancing. Gambling was also common on the riverboats, in card games and via slot machines.
When riverboat casinos were first approved in the late 20th century by the states, which generally prohibited gaming on land, these casinos were required to be located on ships that could sail away from the dock. In some areas, gambling was allowed only when the ship was sailing, as in the traditional excursions. They were approved in states with frontage along the Mississippi and its tributaries, including Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi and Missouri. Illinois also allowed limited riverboat casinos in the Chicago metropolitan area, which has a Mississippi River connection through the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, while Northwest Indiana has three 'riverboat' casinos in harbors along Lake Michigan.
As an example, in 1994 Missouri voters approved amending the state constitution to allow 'games of chance' on the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. By 1998, 'according to the state Gaming Commission, just three of the 16 operations comprising Missouri's $652-million riverboat gambling industry [were] clearly on the main river channel.' The state supreme court had ruled that boats had to be 'solely over and in contact with the surface' of the rivers.[1] Several casinos had been located on riverboats located in a moat or an area with water adjacent to a navigable waterway, leading them to be referred to as 'boats in moats.'[1] The state legislatures were unwilling to give up the revenues generated by gambling. Over time, they allowed gaming casinos to be built on stilts, though with the requirement they had to be over navigable water.

Following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which destroyed most riverboat casinos and their associated facilities of hotels, restaurants, etc., in states along the Gulf Coast, several states changed their enabling legislation or amended constitutions. They permitted such casinos to be built on land within certain geographic limits from a navigable waterway. Most of Mississippi's Gulf Coast riverboat casinos have been rebuilt on beachfronts with solid foundation systems since the hurricane.
