Cleopatra Megaways Slot Review

Cleopatra Megaways Slot RTP, Details & Wager Limits

The Cleopatra Megaways slot is played on 6 reels and comes with up to 177,649 ways to win. Much like all Megaways online slots of this type, wins are awarded by matching adjacent symbols from left to right regardless of size. Any winning symbols are removed from the reels to allow symbols to cascade down for potentially more wins. The cascading wins continue until no new winners are formed.

Spin away from as low as 20p per spin up to a high of £20. Catering to most pockets, hit the coin icon by the spin button to adjust your total stake. Turbo spins and autospins are also options for non-UK players.

The Cleopatra Megaways slot RTP is 96%, which is around the average figure for an online slot and typical of a lot of iSoftBet slots using the Megaways mechanic. In terms of volatility, it’s in the high range, so don’t expect huge wins too often.

The maximum win is 10,000 x your total stake. This is the same as the original Cleopatra slot but less than IGT’s Cleopatra 2 slot, which offers 5 times as much. Your best chance of getting anywhere close to the top prize will come in the Hold & Win Respins feature as boosters come into play that can help increase your potential wins.

Theme – uncover new mysteries of Ancient Egypt

The theme is clear from the total of the Cleopatra Megaways slot. It’s all about the Queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, Cleopatra VII Philopator. The reels are set in the desert, with pyramids in the background a fire burning to the left of the reels and some gold coins and treasure to the right. The visuals are great and you can tell it’s a typical Cleopatra game from the design and the symbols.

The soundtrack fits well with the theme and traditional instruments are used to give it that authentic feel. And it works. It is a little repetitive though, so just bear that in mind. But I didn’t mind it. What I did find odd was the complete silence when the Hold & Win Respins feature was triggered. I was testing a demo, so I don’t know if this will be the same in the live game but I found it a bit odd. It could be a demo mistake. We’ll see. If it is meant to be like that, I didn’t like it.

The lower-paying symbols on the reels are made up of A-9 Royals. These are joined by numerous Ancient Egyptian symbols including lotus flowers, scarab beetles, the eye of Ra and the Cartouche symbol. The Cartouche pays the most, awarding 2, 5, 10, 25 or 50 x your total stake for 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 in combination. It’s the only symbol where only 2 will pay as a minimum. The rest require at least 3.

The game’s Wild is Cleopatra herself. Well, her face at least. This symbol substitutes for all except Scatters and will only appear on reels 2 to 5. Here’s a useful list of all symbols you will come across in the Cleopatra Megaways slot game:

Symbol	Payout/Info
9	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 or 0.8 x bet
10	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 or 0.8 x bet

A	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.2, 0.3, 0.6 or 1.5 x bet
Lotus Flower	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.25, 0.4, 0.75 or 1.75 x bet
Scarab Beetle	3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.25, 1, 1.5 or 2 x bet

Cleopatra Megaways Mobile

The Cleopatra Megaways mobile slot has been created using HTML5 technology. This means it can be enjoyed on mobile, laptop, PC and tablet devices. Being a Megaways title, I recommend a larger screen to enjoy the full visual experience. However, if you’re a mobile player, you’ll be happy to learn it’s compatible with iOS and Android devices.

Cleopatra Megaways Bonus Features

There are no fewer than 11 bonus features in the Cleopatra Megaways slot game. From Scatters triggering different modifiers to boosters in the Hold & Win Respins feature, there’s a lot going on. Let’s run you through everything, starting with the Scatter modifiers.

Cleopatra Modifiers

Any Scatter that lands on the reels on any spin will add to the Offering Brazier and could trigger 1 of the following 4 modifiers:

• Wild Add – Adds between 2 and 5 random Wilds to the reels
• Mystery Symbols – Adds a random number of Mystery symbols to the reels and transforms them all into the same symbol.
• Max Megaways – The reels will spin and symbols will land with the maximum amount of ways (117,649) possible.
• Bonus Add – Adds a random number of Cash Scatters to the reels to increase the chance of triggering the Hold & Win Respins feature.

Hold & Win Respins feature

Land 5 or more Scatters in the base game of the Cleopatra Megaways slot to trigger this bonus feature. You will be awarded 3 respins with only Cash Scatters and Boosters in play during the bonus round. Cash Scatters have values of 1x up to 10x attached to them.  Any symbol that lands will stay in place on the reels and reset the respins back to 3.

As mentioned, Boosters come into play here and we’ve explained them a little in the symbols table above. Here’s a reminder of the Boosters that can activate if the symbol lands on the reels during the Respins feature:

• Multiplier – This will multiply any values that have landed on adjacent reels.
• Red Arrow – This one will collect all values that have landed on the reels and total them up.
• Heart – The heart symbol will award and store an extra life, which will effectively award an extra spin at the end of the bonus round. Up to 3 lives can be stored at any one time.
• Green Arrow – This increases the reels by adding a new space on the reel based on the number of symbols. Only the reel where this symbol lands will be increased.

You might have noticed some jackpots in the screenshot above. Good spot if you did. During the Hold & Win Respins, if you manage to land at least one of them on the reels, you can boost your payout by the following:

• Mini = 20x
• Minor = 100x
• Major = 500x
• Grand = 2,000x

Cleopatra Megaways Review Summary – another dimension added to the popular series

The Cleopatra Megaways slot is good. But did it blow me away? No, it didn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for a Megaways version to add to the series of games already on the market, but there’s nothing unique here that made me go ‘wow’.

As mentioned above, the Cleopatra 2 slot has 50,000 x max wins, so this one is 5 times less in that respect. If you’re looking for huge potential returns, you might turn to that one instead of this. But away from that, this game has a lot going for it. I like the visuals and I really enjoyed playing through all the modifiers and boosters. Some of the best UK slots don’t boast as many features as Cleopatra Megaways, so that’s certainly something that makes this one stand out from the crowd.

Overall, if you’re familiar with Megaways titles from iSoftbet, you probably won’t be too excited by this as there’s nothing new here. But if you are a fan of the series, then this release will definitely grab your attention and keep you interested for a while. Feel free to try our demo first if you want to try it before using any real money. There’s a lot to understand.
