Cleopatra (IGT) – Review & Demo Play

Cleopatra Slot Demo

I always start with the Cleopatra Slot Demo to get a feel for the 5x3 grid, 20 lines, and how often the Sphinx shows. Free play lets me spin without risking cash, tweak paylines, and test stake sizes before switching to real money. In a short session I gauge how the wild doubles wins, how often I see three scatters, and whether the rhythm suits my bankroll. It’s a quick way to sample the tripled wins in the bonus without any pressure.

Cleopatra RTP and Wagering

Cleopatra uses a classic 5x3 setup with adjustable paylines. I tend to keep all 20 active, but you can step down to 15, 9, 5, or even a single line. Bets are per line, with coin sizes from £0.01 to £1, giving a practical range of roughly £0.20 to £20 per spin. Wins pay left to right and scatter pays land anywhere. It’s straightforward, so you can set a line bet you’re comfortable with and let the reels do the work.

The stated RTP is 95.02%, which sits below the 96% mark many newer slots aim for. In practice, Cleopatra plays like a medium volatility game: regular small to mid wins in the base, with the bonus doing the heavy lifting. Across longer sessions I see plenty of under-stake payouts that keep balances ticking while I hunt the feature. It’s not a maths model built for constant fireworks, but the stability suits bankroll planning and measured wager sizing.

Top potential is quoted as up to 10,000x, pegged to the Cleopatra wild paying five of a kind. Realistically, the route to standout returns is the free spins where every win is tripled, and retriggers can extend the round. I treat the headline prize as a long shot and play for sequences of decent triplers instead. Keep stakes tidy, ride the medium profile, and let the feature grind out the value over time rather than chasing a single miracle board.

Cleopatra Symbols and Audio & Video Design

The Cleopatra wild is the star symbol, paying 10,000x the coin size for five and substituting for all except the Sphinx. Five scatters award a separate payout up to 100x. Among regulars, Lotus and Scarab top the set at 37.5x your bet for five, the golden tablet pays 20x, while Eye of Horus and the Sceptre pay 12.5x. A pays 6.25x, and 9, 10, J, Q, K come in at 5x. Two Cleopatras on a line already raise a return.

IGT kept the presentation faithful to its land-based roots. The reels sit against a static backdrop of Egyptian ruins with a purple tint, and the interface is clean and direct. Spins carry light Egyptian-style stings, while the full soundtrack stays mostly out of the way until features arrive. I like the occasional voice lines from Cleopatra, and the overall look has that retro casino charm. It does feel dated next to modern epics, yet the theme still lands.

Cleopatra Bonus Features

Keep your eyes peeled for the Sphinx. Land three or more anywhere and the Cleopatra Bonus fires for 15 free spins, with all wins tripled. The only time the 3x does not apply is the top line of five Cleopatras. In base play the Cleopatra wild also doubles any line win it completes, so stacked wild lines can pay handsomely even outside the feature. Scatter pays are awarded on top, so you can land a tidy hit before the spins start.

Retriggers are very much in play. Hitting three scatters again adds another 15 spins, and the cap can reach 180 in a single bonus. In my sessions I’ve seen chains of triplers carry a balance far better than any base streak. I plan around the feature, pacing stakes so I can see it a few times in a sitting rather than burning the roll on a handful of large spins. That’s where Cleopatra earns its keep.

Cleopatra Final Thoughts

I’ve played Cleopatra on and off since its 2012 release, and it still does the job. The 5x3, 20-line layout is simple, the RTP is 95.02%, and the medium profile means steady base hits while you chase the bonus. Tripled wins in free spins and wild-doubled lines keep the game lively, and the top prize of up to 10,000x gives sessions a clear target. If you fancy a classic Egyptian slot with proven legs, this delivers.
