Cleopatra Slot

Cleopatra is the first slot game in the series. It’s the game that started all the fuss, creating a legend that’s almost as big the one about me, the real ancient queen of old Egypt. Now this slot has been doing the rounds for many years now whilst other games have fallen by the wayside unable to keep up with the magic, mystique and money on offer from this original gambling classic. Like many of the current top online slots, this game first appeared in land based casinos, proving a winner with the high rollers of Vegas before making the jump onto the web.

When it comes to the look of this slot game, I have to say I love it. Its got all the classic symbols of old Egypt that remind me of my long lost home, together with the gilt edged opulence that came to characterise our great civilisation. I was shocked when I heard the audio for the first time, as the voice used by the developers was amazingly close to my natural timbre, as if I was calling out the bonuses and spins down the spiral of time. The animations are smooth and flawless, giving the game a real mechanical feel just like an old time slot, coupled with awesome mathematics under the hood to ensure that there’s a definite pace here that avoids long runs where there’s no action, which should keep you locked to the reels. The game packs some twenty pay-lines over it’s five reel set up and you’re given the option to adjust and tweak your wager levels.

I believe that in my honour, the game developers have given the Cleopatra slot a special wild Cleopatra symbol, which not only substitutes for any other symbol in the game, barring the sphinx scatter, but also has the wonderful property of doubling the value of any combination it helps complete, and these wilds can work together too, adding additional multipliers that could boost your win by four, six or even eight times the listed value. This wild symbol also forms the game’s jackpot combination paying a top prize of 50,000 credits for hitting five in a combination. I did mention the other special, the sphinx scatter, which is full of mystery just like the real leonine sculpture, paying you a prize for hitting two or more symbols on the reels and giving you access to this slot’s awesome free spin game for three or more symbols.

In my not so humble opinion, the free spin round on Cleopatra is simply fantastic. Stop in the three or more sphinx symbols to activate the game, which takes place on a second set of specially enhanced reels that feature more wild symbols and sphinx scatters than on the standard set up. Although you start this game with fifteen free spins, you’ve got a really good chance to reactivate the bonus, adding more free spins to your total, up to a maximum of 180 free spins, a number that should be easy for the darts players out there to remember. The game will cash you out should you collect prizes that total over 250,000 credits, but we’re sure you won’t complain if you hit this level of prizes. We haven’t got to the best bit either yet, as you’ll receive a whopping three times multiplier on any wins you get during this round (barring the jackpot), together with any multipliers awarded for hitting combinations that include the Cleopatra wild. If the Cleopatra game is the queen of casino slots, then I’d say that this bonus game is without doubt its crowning glory, as you could certainly walk away from this big paying bonus with some right royal riches.

So, now you’ve read my review of the classic Cleopatra slot game, I bet you’re wondering if I’m going to give you any inside tips or tricks to help you get the most out of this great game. Well, just because I share a name with this slot doesn’t mean that the developers have given me any insights or backdoors into the game, so I’ve had to use my standard slot skills to get an appraisal of the best way to punt your cash on its jewel encrusted reels.

Is there a good strategy to Cleopatra? Well, I’d love to say there is, but this is a slot game that pushes wins at you all the time, daring you to continue or cash out. As it’s so well balanced you’re just as likely to take a massive prize from the main reel game as you are to get it in the free spin game so there’s no need to be tight with your bankroll. This is one slot game where you can slosh the money all around on the reels and say to the devil with the long game strategies. Ultimately slot machines should be all about the gamble and I believe that this game is one where you can make a big gamble at any stage, as you’re just as likely to make a big score on ten max bet spins as you are to grab it from eeking out your bankroll waiting for something amazing to happen in a free spin round.
