In reviewing the Cleopatra slot, we are going back in time in more ways than just an ancient Egyptian theme. The Cleopatra slot has been with us for years. It is a classic among classics and has graced the casino floor and the web with equal popularity. Whilst generally at Free Slot Money we bring you reviews on the latest online slot game releases, we felt Cleopatra should be in our catalogue as it is still played by diehards in their thousands. Plus, we figured we should get around to it before reviewing the sequel!
Features
Because the game has been around for such a long time, naturally it does not compare visually with many of the modern day releases but the game was cutting edge on release. Created by IGT/WagerWorks, the format is that of a 5 reel 20 payline base game and you can spin those reels and play all paylines for as little as .01 to a maximum of 10 per payline. Cleopatra has a 10,000 coin jackpot which you will win by seeing 5 Cleopatra logo symbols on the reels. The Wild is a form of Cleopatra herself and the scatter is represented by the Sphinx. It is a simple, uncomplicated game with a simple uncomplicated pay table.
Bonus Games and Free Spins
Landing 3, 4 or 5 Sphinx symbols in any position across the reels will initiate the Cleopatra Bonus feature – this is a free spins bonus round where you are initially awarded 15 free spins. Now this is where things get interesting because during the 15 free spins, all winnings are tripled. Needless to say this gets your attention if you pull in some high value symbols, but that is not the end of potential bounty. You can actually trigger more free spins by repeating the winning combination of 3 sphinxes on the reels. Theoretically the fun can go on (if you landed the combination on the last of your 15 free spins each time) for up to 180 free spins. It is the existence of this simple but rewarding feature that keeps players returning to last pharaoh of Egypt over and over again.
Summary
Cleopatra online slot might be showing her age somewhat but then so is Morgan Freeman and he still pulls the punters into the theater. There is a classic quality to the game and whilst the soundtrack may be a tad peculiar, Cleopatra’s voice encouraging you and wishing you luck is somewhat alluring. The simple format and potential of the bonus feature and the hordes of devoted followers to the game are testament that gimmicks and complicated structure is not necessarily the blueprint for a successful online slot.
