Review of the Cleopatra's Gold

Cleopatra's Gold is a video slot from Realtime Gaming (RTG) with 5 reels and a whopping 20 pay lines, which you can switch on or off using handy controls at the bottom of the screen. The point of playing multiple lines is not to add multipliers on your wins, but rather to increase your odds of winning on a single spin. Every line you add increases the odds of actually hitting something when the reels have come down it's not just about the center line any more.

RTG have gone all out on this Egyptian theme, styling up the traditional set of high cards that you find in these kinds of games to look like ancient hieroglyphs, albeit day-glo colored ones. Aside from these, you can expect to see a scarab (the lovely made of solid gold kind, not the creepy with legs that get stuck in your hair kind), a sacred kitty cat, an Ankh, and of course lady Cleo herself, looking resplendent with lovely fake dreads and a seriously blinging headband.

Speaking of bling, this game carries one of the biggest jackpot payouts in its class: a whopping 10,000 coins. To save you reaching for your pocket calculator I will tell you that at maximum bet you could earn yourself $50,000 if you hit the top combination. Cleopatra's Gold indeed!

And that's not counting the progressive jackpot associated with the game. For newbies, they take a tiny slice of every bet that anyone playing this game makes, and put it in a pot, which grows and grows until someone hits it. You can see how big the progressive jackpot currently is from the display on screen and you could trigger it randomly at any time!

Wild Symbol:
In this game, the Wild symbol is Cleopatra herself. Her function in this is sort of like the blank tile in a Scrabble game she can be anything you need her to be to complete a winning combination. One major plus that Scrabble doesn't have: Cleopatra automatically doubles the value of the win.

Therefore, be on the lookout for her because not only is she a big help, but five of her in a row earns you the game's top jackpot of 10,000 coins!

Scatter Symbol:
There is a scatter symbol in this game, which is the Pyramid. It rewards you in two ways, depending on how many of them you get. A minimum of two scatters earns you a payout of coins. What's nice about this scatter bonus is that the symbols don't need to line up in any way they can be absolutely anywhere on the reels and it still counts.

Get three or more scatters activates the free spins feature.

Free Spins:

Three or more of those little pyramids means you've earned a number of free spins up to 15, if you get 5 of them. The sheer awesomeness of the free spins round is that if you win anything during them, the value of it is instantly trebled. Now imagine you hit that 5 Cleopatra combo during this round! Cha-chinggggg!
