Cleopatra is a 5-reel 20-payline video slot with richly decorated symbols and a clearly distinctive Egyptian theme that plays out in every symbol and decorative element around the reels. This is a high-stakes game that will garner much attention of heavy punters because the top stake is almost unlimited. Along with the possibility to earn 15 free spins, the game offers a very lucrative wild symbol that pays out 10,000 coins if lined up properly. Cleopatra is a mystical yet hugely profitable adventure to Ancient Egypt that will share its treasure with real-money gamblers.

The game visuals are designed with golden, cyan and brown colors dominating the palette. Though playing card values 9 to A are used, they look posh, featuring rich oriental ornaments, gems and enamel inserts. There is nothing particular to really catch your eye because you will not know where to look first. Some Egyptian artifacts are pictured on a decrepit colored piece of cloth. Some symbols shine with unique creativeness and make you clap your eyes on them. Anyway, in terms of visual design, the slot is very good. If you are not satisfied with the game performance, you can choose one of four Graphics Quality options. An Autospin feature is also available on both PC and mobile versions of the slot and is set in no time.

In relation to features, Cleopatra is a fairly basic slot because it has just two tried-and-tested bonuses that most slots out there have. These are a wild and free spins. The only unmatched quality the slot offers to every gambler is very high wins. In fact, by putting in place the bet sizes of $1 to $50 per line, IGT, the slot manufacturer, cuts off the part of the audience who are not ready to spend hundreds of dollars on a single spin. The slot was designed to be very attractive for the other end of the gambler spectrum known as high rollers.

The number of active lines is an adjustable option. Sure, it is more reasonable to launch the reels with each line activated but players can reduce the number of active lines and wager on 1, 5, 9, 15 or 20 of them. As is said above, a line bet has flexible values that start at $1 – an uncomfortable sum for low rollers – and reach $50. With 20 paylines, the maximum spin bet turns out to be $1000.

Non-feature symbols and payouts

As a rule of thumb, symbols add certain cash profit to your balance when three matching symbols line up from the far left reel rightward. Some expensive symbols pay out when 2 of them line up. The paytable can be conventionally split into two groups of symbols. The first is card denominations from 9 to A – they award 2 to 125 coins. The second category is themed images including Eye of Horus (x250 for five of a kind), Pharaoh’s regal items (x250), a golden tablet with Egyptian hieroglyphs (x400), a flower (x750) and a scarab (x750).

Now let’s calculate your best potential prizes in dollar equivalent. Hitting five of a kind bestows $37,500 (scarabs or flowers) or $20,000 (hieroglyphs). Worth noting is that there are two feature symbols, which provide way better awards. But the strong point of regular symbols described above is their frequent occurrence and thus frequent wins for you.

Wild symbol

Immense wins are bestowed by feature symbols, with the Egyptian queen being one of these. Wild Cleopatra icons act as substitutes for non-feature pics, helping them complete winning combinations. If you are lucky enough during your game session, it may so happen that three, four or even five wilds make a lineup on an enabled payline. Once the necessary winning combo is achieved, you get x200, x2000 or x10000 times a line bet, subject to the number of wilds on the winning line. If to express the winnings in more habitual, money terms, you have the chance of receiving $500,000 for five wilds if playing at max.

Scatter and free spins

A sandy solemn sphinx is another feature symbols. Its dramatic distinction from non-feature pics is that it may appear scattered, i. e. in any position, and be still eligible for a win if at least two sphinxes are visible. Anyway, hitting two, or greater, of them awards x2, x5, x20 or x100 times the actual total bet. Supposing that you have wagered $1000 per spin, the max scatter prize will be $100,000.

Instant scatter wins are the first part of the feature because 3+ scatters also trigger free spins. No matter the number of Egyptian sphinxes, 3, 4 or 5, you are awarded 15 free games. Moreover, your winning opportunities are considerably enhanced thanks to a multiplier of x3 applicable to all wins, except for this for five wilds. The bonus can be retriggered from within free spins under the same conditions as needed for base game.

Summary

Cleopatra is a 5-reel 20-payline video slot produced by IGT. It utilizes a popular Egyptian theme that, along with a potential $500,000 win, will attract lots of slot fans, especially high rollers. There are two features in Cleopatra such as a wild and free spins with a triple win multiplier. The highest potential non-feature win is $37,500.
