Cleopatras Gold

Rolled out by Realtime Gaming back in 2005, Cleopatra’s Gold quickly earned an excellent reputation in the online gaming community and even with new editions of the game subsequently released, the original version remains as popular as ever. The 5 reel 20 payline may not feature impressive graphics or animations, but a historical theme and hefty returns in the main game and bonus round more than compensate.

Up and down arrows within bet and lines tabs are in place to help the players select preferred coin denomination and number of paylines, with spin and autoplay starting the game. Balance, bet and win amounts are displayed at all times, whereas pressing help will take you to the second screen where you can see expected payouts, rules and learn how to trigger the special features. At least two matching symbols left to right qualify for a payout.

Cleopatra Wild substitutes for all other symbols except for Pyramid Scatters, doubling all payouts when it is used to form a winning combination. Meanwhile, two or more Pyramid Scatters appearing anywhere multiply your total bet up to 500 times, with three or more unlocking the Free Games round.

Like most other RTG slots, Cleopatra’s Gold offers a choice between 15 coin values, ranging from $0.01 to $5. Meanwhile, with up to 20 paylines to be selected, maximum bet stands at $100. In order to improve your winning chances make sure all 20 lines are active, and then scale down your coin denomination if needed.

Payouts in the main game are likely to leave you impressed, with maximum coin jackpot whopping 10,000, awarded when five Cleopatra Wilds appear on any active payline. Two regular game icons award 1,000 coins for five matching symbols, but that payout is doubled when one or more Wilds replace the symbols to form a winning combination.

With the game themed on Ancient Egypt, all symbols populating the reels are styled to match the prevailing theme. These include Scarab, Eye of Horus, Bastet, Ankh, Cleopatra and Pyramid, with playing cards Ace through Nine also present. Two, three, four and five Pyramid Scatters in any position multiply your total bet 2, 5, 20 and 500 times.

Meanwhile, three or more Scatters anywhere on the game screen award 15 free games where all prizes are tripled. The feature can be retriggered during the Free Games round provided the said combination again occurs on the reels.

Cleopatra’s Gold is also equipped with a progressive jackpot that can be awarded at random following any real money spin. Mobile gamers will be glad to hear that the game can be played on the go via iOS and Android devices. The mobile version of the popular slot has been simplified, but it basically offers the same gaming experience.
