MegaJackpots Cleopatra Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The action in the MegaJackpots Cleopatra slot plays out on 5 reels, 3 rows and 20 fixed paylines. Winning combinations are formed by landing 2, 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols or wilds from left to right across a payline starting from the leftmost reel.

Stakes here range from 20p to £600 per spin (the latter for the super high rollers of the world). To adjust your bet size, click on the + and – arrows alongside the line bet box. In the Paytable, payouts are shown in coins, so you need to divide by 20 to get the stake multiplier value.

The Cleopatra RTP is 92.48%. By jackpot slot RTP standards, it’s normal. 3.5% of each spin is added to the progressive jackpot prize fund, meaning the actual RTP is 88.98%. Jackpots aside, the MegaJackpots Cleopatra volatility is in the medium range, offering a balanced range of payouts.

The max win per spin is 9,950 x your total stake (per free spin). With the MegaJackpots Progressive, you can win a lot more. The average is over £900,000. More details can be found below.

Theme – Audio and Design Features – unravel the mysteries of ancient Egypt once again

The MegaJackpots Cleopatra slot is the MegaJackpots version of the original Cleopatra that was first released way back in 2007. With the same ancient Egyptian theme, the design in the MegaJackpots version remains true to the original and conjures up plenty of atmosphere.

The visuals here are quite simply done but are easy on the eye. It’s a similar story with the soundtrack which has more than a hint of the land of the ancients. It comes together rather well.

On the reels, you’ll find ornately designed lower-value A to 9 royals, as well as a selection of Egyptian hieroglyph symbols. The best of the hieroglyphs is the scarab beetle which awards 0.1, 1.25, 5 or 37.5 x your total stake if you manage to land 2, 3, 4 or 5 of them across a payline.

The MegaJackpots logo is the wild symbol. This pays 0.5, 10, 100 or 500 x your total stake if you land 2, 3, 4 or 5 in combination. It can also trigger the progressive jackpot prize. Finally, there’s the Sphinx, which is the scatter.

You can go gunning for jackpot glory whether you’re playing on a desktop, tablet or mobile device. IGT has produced a HTML version of MegaJackpots Cleopatra meaning it’s compatible with a wide range of devices.

MegaJackpots Cleopatra Bonus Features

The MegaJackpots Cleopatra slot comes with a total of 3 bonus features. With double wild wins and free spins, the cherry on the top is the MegaJackpots feature, which can deliver some eye-watering payouts.

Double Wild feature

The MegaJackpots logo symbol is the game’s wild. When this symbol makes up part of a winning combination made up of standard symbols, the Double Wild feature is triggered. The payout benefits from a 2x multiplier boost and is doubled.

For example, land 5 scarab beetles across a payline and the standard payout is 37.5x stake. Land 4 scarab beetles and a wild, and the 2x multiplier takes that award up to 75 x your total stake. The wilds can become more lucrative if they land during the Cleopatra Bonus feature.

Cleopatra Bonus feature

To trigger the Cleopatra Bonus feature, you need to land 3, 4 or 5 Sphinx scatter symbols anywhere on the reels on the same spin. Depending on the number of triggering scatters, you’ll receive a payout equal to 5, 20 or 100 x your total stake before going on to play 15 free spins.

During the free spins, a 3x multiplier is active throughout. That means that all payouts made up solely of standard symbols are trebled. Going back to our previous example, a 5-symbol run of scarab beetles would pay 112.5 x stake.

Now, land a win with a wild symbol, and the multiplier doubles to 6x. This applies to wins involving a wild and not just wilds.

Lastly, retriggers are possible here too. Land 3, 4 or 5 scatters for another payout of 5, 20 or 100 x stake as well as another round of 15 free spins. You can retrigger various times with up to 180 free spins in total possible. These extra free spins also benefit from the 3x and potential 6x multipliers boosts.

MegaJackpots feature

The main attraction in this desert adventure is undoubtedly the MegaJackpots feature. There are 2 possible ways to land the big progressive jackpot prize:

• Land 5 MegaJackpots wilds on the centre payline on any base game or free spin
• Via a Second Chance Jackpots draw, which can strike at random following any spin

The MegaJackpots progressive prize delivers an average payout of some £893,634 and lands every 57 days. This pooled prize can also be won if you’re playing the MegaJackpots versions of Siberian Storm, Monopoly and Cluedo.

The current jackpot is £1,001,150.49. The biggest MegaJackpots progressive was £1,413,764 (over £1.4 million), which was won by 1 lucky slot player back in January 2019.

MegaJackpots Cleopatra Review Summary – an iconic game with a progressive attached

This MegaJackpots Cleopatra slot is almost identical to the original Cleopatra slot machine. Graphically, it’s the same, and the only difference in the gameplay is from the progressive jackpot element.

The design is simple but rather stylish, and the gameplay is nice and straightforward. The 2x wild and the free spins with all payouts trebled are a perfectly solid feature combination. It’s all about the MegaJackpots progressive jackpot here, though.

Landing a screen full of wild symbols would result in a 10,000 x stake win. If you did that, you’d win the MegaJackpots progressive. So landing wilds everywhere apart from the middle payout would get you 9,500 x stake. Add the most valuable symbol to that payout (with a 6x multiplier in the free spins), and you could pocket 9,950 x stake on each free spin.

The RTP in the original is 95.02%, whilst in the MegaJackpots version, it’s 88.98% (with the MegaJackpots contribution). What you sacrifice in the return rate is the chance to win a progressive jackpot, which on average pays nearly £900,000 every 2 months.

If it’s ancient Egypt you’re after, IGT’s Cleopatra 2 comes with 50,000 x stake max wins on every free spin. Looking for the thrill of big jackpots? Mega Moolah by Games Global has paid out world-record progressive jackpots.
