Diamond Spins Cleopatra Slot Review

Diamond Spins Cleopatra Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Diamond Spins Cleopatra slot comes with 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 fixed paylines. As with most online slot games, 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols landing from left to right across any payline, and beginning from reel 1, will award a winning combination. That said, the 3 higher value symbols and 9 royal only require 2 (or more) matching symbols to land a win.

Bets wise, you can play Diamond Spins Cleopatra from 20p to £10 per spin. Under the reels, there is a Total Bet section with plus and minus arrows which can be clicked/pressed to change the bet. Alternatively, press/click the actual amount to see all available bet options. Non UK players have an Auto Spin feature where you can choose between 10 and 50 auto spins.

The Diamond Spins Cleopatra RTP is 95.98%. Marginally below the 96% for an online slot game, 4.55% of the RTP are for the progressive jackpots. This means the actual RTP is 91.43% which is below the average for progressive jackpot slots. On the other hand, the RTP rate is the same at all online casinos in the UK.

Volatility wise, it’s in the low to medium bracket (2/5). With a 16% hit frequency rate, expect a winning combination every 6.25 spins on average. In the average 100 spins experience, you’ll win 10 x bet. Triggering the Cleopatra Bonus feature (free spins) will occur every 600 spins (on average).

Finally, the Diamond Spins Cleopatra slot comes with max wins of 10,000 x bet. You also have 3 progressive jackpots with the Grand Progressive Jackpot the biggest (more details below).

Theme – join the exotic queen again to unravel the mysteries of ancient Egypt

With an ancient Egyptian theme, the Diamond Spins Cleopatra slot follows on from the classic Cleopatra slot and various other spin-offs. The inspiration is the infamous Cleopatra who was the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt from 51-30 BCE.

Known for her great physical beauty and love affairs with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, she was highly intelligent and well edicated. She also married 2 of her bothers. Back to the slot game. IGT have done in a different direction slightly in terms of the visuals. With hieroglyphs on a blue backdrop, Diamond Spins Cleopatra remains true to the original slot with the same sound effects and music.

With a land-based feel still (which will please lovers of the past Cleopatra slots), symbols on the reels include A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 royals. Then you have the Eye of Ra, sceptres, cartouches, lotus flowers and scarab beetles. In terms of payouts, the lotus flower and scarab beetle symbols pay the most with 0.1, 1.25, 5 or 37.5 x bet awarded for 2, 3, 4 or 5 across any payline.

Then you have the Cleopatra Wild symbol which substitutes for all symbols above. Importantly, 2, 3, 4 or 5 wilds in combination will give you a 0.5, 10, 100 or 500 x bet payout. That said, a screen full of Cleopatra Wilds will result in a 10,000 x bet win.

You should look out for the Pharaoh Bonus Scatter which triggers the free spins. Finally, there is a Diamond symbol which is key to playing the Diamond Spins Bonus feature. Here’s a list of all symbols and their payouts/functions:

Diamond Spins Cleopatra Mobile

As with all IGT slot games, Diamond Spins Cleopatra has been created using HTML5 technology. Released on the 6^th of July 2023, it has been optimised for play on desktop, mobile and tablet devices. It’s available on smartphone devices operating with iOS, Android and Windows. Whatever device you opt for, the game will serve the correct version. With the full visual and audio experience, a larger screen is always preferred in my opinion.

Diamond Spins Cleopatra Bonus Features

The Diamond Spins Cleopatra slot has 3 bonus features. With Cleopatra Wilds that double payouts when part of a win, there are up to 180 free spins with a 3x multiplier. Couple this with the doubling Cleopatra Wild for 6x multipliers. You also have the Diamond Spins Bonus feature where you can win cash prizes, 2 fixed jackpots and 3 progressive jackpots.

2x Wilds feature

When 1 or more Cleopatra Wilds are part of a winning combination involving other symbols, the 2x Wilds feature will be triggered. Basically, your winning combination will be doubled. This feature doesn’t apply to wins involving just Cleopatra Wild symbols. However, it does apply during the free spins.

If you were to land 5 Scarab Beetle or Lotus Flower symbols across a payline, you’ll pocket 37.5 x bet. If a Cleopatra Wild is part of this win, you’ll win 75 x bet. Now, landing a full screen of Scarab Beetle or Lotus Flower symbols with Cleopatra Wilds would result in a 1,500 x bet payout as opposed to 750 x bet with the wilds.

Cleopatra Bonus feature

The Cleopatra Bonus feature is triggered when you land 3, 4 or 5 Pharaoh Bonus Scatter symbols in any position during a base game spin. 15 free spins will then be awarded. Additionally, 2, 3, 4 or 5 scatters will pay 2, 5, 20 or 100 x bet respectively.

Importantly, all wins during the free spins are tripled (i.e. a 3x multiplier). This doesn’t apply to winning combinations involving 5 Cleopatra Wild symbols. If you land a win involving a Cleopatra Wild, the 2x Wilds feature will be triggered. In essence, you’ll benefit from a 6x multiplier overall. Here’s a table highlighting all max wins with the potential 6x multiplier:

Symbol(s)	Max Win	3x Multiplier	6x Multiplier
Scarab Beetle/Lotus Flower	750 x bet	2,250 x bet	4,500 x bet
Cartouche	400 x bet	1,200 x bet	2,400 x bet
Eye of Ra/Sceptre	250 x bet	750 x bet	1,500 x bet
A	125 x bet	375 x bet	750 x bet
K/Q/J/10/9	100 x bet	300 x bet	600 x bet

Lastly, landing 3 or more Pharaoh Bonus Scatter symbols will result in additional free spins. You can retrigger the Cleopatra Bonus feature various times with maximum of 180 free spins up for grabs.

Diamond Spins Bonus feature

Now, the Diamond Spins Cleopatra slot game comes with a Diamond Spins Bonus feature. It’s triggered by landing 5 or more Diamond symbols anywhere on the reels. 3 initial respins are then awarded.

Every time a Diamond symbol appears, the respins counter resets to 3. Each Diamond symbol will either reveal a cash prize or Progressive symbol. The reveal cash prize or Progressive symbols will then lock in position for the remainder of the feature.

There are 5 jackpots to be won with 3 progressive jackpots, as well as cash prizes. Landing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 Diamond symbols will result in a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 x bet prize respectively. Here is what you can win if you land the Progressive symbols or 15 Diamond symbols:

Diamond Symbols	Award
15 (all positions)	Grand Progressive Jackpot
Blue Diamond	Major Progressive
Pink Diamond	Minor Progressive
Maxi Diamond (Green)	Maxi Prize (10 x bet)
Mini Diamond (Light Blue)	Mini Prize (8 x bet)

Finally, the Diamond Spins Bonus feature continues until you run out of respins or until all 15 positions are filled with Diamond symbols.

Diamond Spins Cleopatra Summary – classic Cleopatra slot with progressive jackpots

With the original Cleopatra slot being 1 of the most popular and successful games, fans of the land-based classic will be pleased to learn the Diamond Spins Cleopatra slot offers the same gameplay with the added extra of progressive jackpots.

Visually, the backdrop/graphics are slightly different but it does use the same sound effects and music (which I love). The symbols are the same with the addition of the Diamond symbol.

In terms of the gameplay, Cleopatra Wilds part of a winning combination double your payouts and the free spins comes with a 3x multiplier. Combined with Cleopatra Wilds, you could benefit from a 6x multiplier on up to 180 free spins. That said, the max win of 10,000 x bet can be won by landing a screen full of Cleopatra Wilds.

Diamond Spins Cleopatra focuses on the Diamond Spins Bonus feature where you aim to collect as many Diamond symbols as possible. You can land various Maxi and Mini Diamond symbols but you want to see the Pink or Blue Diamonds as well as 15 locked Diamonds in total. Manage the latter to win the Grand Progressive Jackpot.

Now, IGT has created the Diamond Spins Jackpot series which also includes Diamond Spins Mistress of Egypt and Diamond Spins Cats. Appealing to players who love progressive jackpots, IGT also offers you the MegaJackpots series which gives you the chance to win 1 progressive jackpot. The MegaJackpots jackpot is currently worth £967,711.67 and can be won in slots such as MegaJackpots Cleopatra and others.

Oddly, MegaJackpots Cleopatra offers the same gameplay as the Diamond Spins Cleopatra slot. In terms of the progressive jackpots, it remains to be seen if the Grand Progressive Jackpot will be higher than that of the MegaJackpots game.

If you want all the action from the original Cleopatra game, I recommend Cleopatra 2 which sees the multiplier increase by 1 with every free spin up to 50x. More importantly, it comes with 50,000 x bet max wins. Another option is Cleopatra Grand which comes with 6 fixed jackpots, an increasing multiplier in the free spins, a higher 96.1% RTP rate and 10,000 x bet payouts.
