Lucky Empress and Inca Empress are companion video slots from Ainsworth Game Technology, both built on Ainsworth's A-Star Curve cabinet platform (Lucky Empress also appears on the older A640 cabinet). Both are 5-reel, 243-ways-to-win games -- meaning wins are paid for matching symbols landing on adjacent reels regardless of exact payline position, rather than on a fixed set of paylines -- and both carry a progressive jackpot on top of the base paytable.
Lucky Empress and Inca Empress share the same underlying Ainsworth game engine and cabinet hardware but run different visual themes: Lucky Empress leans into a general Asian-inspired 'empress' motif, while Inca Empress draws on South American Incan imagery and iconography. Ainsworth built both as part of its broader 'Empress' line of 243-ways video slots, a format the studio has used across a number of titles.
Instead of a traditional payline grid, both games use Ainsworth's 243-ways-to-win format, which pays for matching symbols appearing anywhere on consecutive reels starting from reel one. It's a format designed to feel more generous on the base game than a small fixed-payline slot, since far more symbol combinations across the five reels can register a win.
Both titles include a bonus round built around collecting symbols and building toward a multiplier, a common design pattern across Ainsworth's catalog, along with a progressive jackpot that resets at a set ceiling once won. Betting ranges are flexible, with the machines built to accommodate a wide span of denominations, which is typical of Ainsworth's approach to appealing to both casual and higher-stakes players on the same cabinet.
