Cleopatra Slot Machine

The Cleopatra slot, launched by software house IGT, is dedicated to the famous Queen of Egypt, as dangerous as she is fascinating. It features a structure of 5 reels and 20 paylines, bonus spins with tripled wins, a Wild symbol that substitutes for all game symbols, and the Scatter, represented by the sarcophagus, which offers the chance to win up to 100 times the bet amount if it appears 5 times in the same spin. The game's RTP is set at 95.7%, while volatility is medium.

Cleopatra slot machine: general information and rules

The Cleopatra slot is one of the flagship products created by IGT developers, known for developing and distributing online and land-based casino games worldwide. This particular slot has become so popular that a sequel was created that was equally appreciated, known as the Cleopatra Plus or Cleopatra Gold slot.

Based on traditional slot games found in physical casinos, it presents a difference from traditional slots related to the number of reels: instead of the classic three, this slot has five vertical reels and three horizontal lines. It also features touch functionality that allows players greater interactivity. It has 20 paylines to bet on and valid combinations are those that go from left to right starting from the first reel.

The graphics are well done and the audio activates every time you start a spin; it only varies when the sarcophagus symbols, or scatters, appear.

The minimum bet allowed when betting on 20 paylines is €0.20 and the maximum can go up to €100. The game also offers the possibility to win up to 10,000 credits during standard spins.

Symbols and payout of the Cleopatra online slot

All figures appearing on the game reels are inspired by classic Egyptian iconography, an element that IGT wanted to make the absolute protagonist of the slot, along with history's most famous queen. The paytable provides all information related to payout, as well as a detailed description of all icons that can be encountered during standard or bonus spins.

The slot symbols are divided into characteristic and minor ones, and it's important to remember that the Queen icon also functions as a Wild. Specifically, the characteristic tiles are:

• Cleopatra's eyes, which pay from 10x to 10,000x;
• Blue scarab, which pays from 2x to 750x;
• A floral jewel, which pays from 2x to 750x;
• The golden plaque, which pays from 15x to 400x;
• The scepter and flail icon, which pays from 10x to 250x;
• The Eye of Horus, which pays from 10x to 250x.

The minor tiles are A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 which can return from a minimum of 2x to a maximum of 125x the base bet.

Bonus features

The main objective of the slot, in the main game phase, is to align icons of the same type along the selected paylines which, as we've already mentioned, go up to 20. During this phase of the game, you can count on the help of extra functions, which help optimize the probability of achieving winning combinations.

Wild: depicts the eyes of the Queen who stars in the slot and, in addition to substituting for other symbols, doubles the win obtained.

Scatter: the slot icon is depicted by the image of a sarcophagus and offers prizes even if it appears outside the paylines. Two scatter symbols pay 2 times the bet and up to 100 times the bet if 5 scatter symbols appear.

Free Spins: getting 3, 4 or 5 Scatter symbols activates the Cleopatra Bonus which offers 15 free spins. During free spins all payments are tripled, with the sole exception of the possible combination of 5 Cleopatra icons (i.e., the maximum win). During free spins it's possible to win additional free spins, up to a maximum of 180 free spins.

Similar slots to online Cleopatra

The IGT slot features a classic theme inspired by one of history's most famous women and the allure of ancient Egypt. Players who love themes inspired by Ancient Egyptian settings can choose from a wide range of games including some hugely successful ones like Cleopatra Gold, Book of Ra Deluxe and Sphinx Wild. This game also features essential mechanics with few symbols and bonus features.

Players who appreciate essential mechanics but don't like the Egypt theme or simply want to play something different can try games like Power Stars or Sizzling Hot Deluxe, both inspired by classic bar slots and with truly essential mechanics.

Pros and cons of the slot machine

The most interesting aspects of this slot are the classic theme faithfully inspired by Egyptian culture and rules based on few essential principles. IGT wanted to create a game suitable for any type of user, embracing both beginners and experts hunting for more substantial wins.

The game features only one free spins bonus function associated with free spins and a scatter symbol with which you can also obtain prizes at the same time. However, it should be considered that wins are doubled every time they are achieved thanks to the Wild bonus.

The only negative aspect of the Cleopatra slot is the use of now dated graphics with poorly detailed symbols and scenarios and the almost total absence of animations that could make the gaming session more dynamic. Despite this, the charm of a theme inspired by the ancient Egyptian kingdom and particularly by Cleopatra's beauty still manages to make the game's graphic component pleasant and is certainly another aspect appreciated by players who love this type of setting.

Finally, it should not be forgotten that the slot offers an interesting RTP value (which regulates the probability of return to player) and that the medium volatility associated with it allows, according to ADM rules, to obtain fairly frequent wins.
