Jackpot Cleopatra’s Gold is one of those games with huge progressive jackpots where it doesn’t really matter what they’re about. Luckily though, the game’s developers (RTG) did make an effort with it, so you will find the experience to be worth your time. On the other hand, a Cleopatra/Egyptian themed slot is something that has been done to death, so if it wasn’t for the huge prize that can be won here it would’ve been difficult to recommend it based on the design.
The game has the usual 5 reels inside, plus a total of 25 paylines. When it comes to features you also get everything you could want, including the multiplier, scatter, free spins and wilds. The game requires low wagers and offers small prizes (up to $100), but it makes it up to the player with its progressive jackpot, which has reached values of $350,000 or higher in the past.
Features of Jackpot Cleopatra’s Gold
Cleopatra, the beautiful queen of the Egyptians, appears in the main role of the game, that of the wild and the trigger for the progressive jackpot. All that is needed for the progressive jackpot to be awarded is for a full combo of five Cleopatras to be on the same active payline. Smaller numbers of wilds, between 2 and 4, will give 10 to 2500 coins.
While it appears as a wild and contributes with its powers to the formation of new combinations, Cleopatra will double prizes (doesn’t apply to the progressive jackpot). It also can’t substitute for the Pyramid scatter symbol.
The Pyramid, which is a scatter symbol capable of forming combinations without being on the same payline, gives away payouts of up to 500 times the wager value (only up to $500).
Free Games with Triple Prizes
The same Pyramid scatter that you can rely on for some decent payouts will give you the free spins feature. The presence of a minimum of three Pyramids is all that is required. You receive 15 free spins, all of them benefiting of 3x multipliers for their regular payouts (no influence on the progressive prize). With another 3+ scatter symbols, the free spins can be retriggered.
Betting options and jackpots
The developers have made it very easy to afford playing this game. There is a fixed wager in place, worth $1, which covers the 25 lines of the game with $0.04 coins. You have no option to change the betting options. At only $1 per round, this is considered a penny slot.
The game’s prizes go up to 2,500 coins, but that only means about $100. The scatter symbol will do better, offering $500. The real prize is the progressive jackpot, winnable through a combo from the game and awarding cash payouts in the six figure region.
Design and symbols
The design is slightly better than in other similarly themed slots (and there are a lot of them to compare it to), but not as special as I would’ve wanted. The walls of the pyramid are used as background for symbols, plus you see the desert at the top as a background picture.
Symbols: Cleopatra (wild, progressive jackpot), Pyramid (scatter, 500x), Scarab (1,000x), Eye of Ra (1,000x), Ankh Cross (300x), Cat (300x), Ace (150x), King (150x), Queen (125x), Jack (125x), Ten (100x), Nine (100x).
Is It Worth Playing?
If it was only up to the game features or design, I would say no, but with the large progressive jackpot offered inside, the answer is definitely “Yes”. Give it a go yourself, this penny slot doesn’t require a huge investment and it has huge potential rewards.
This Jackpot Cleopatra’s Gold slot is offered by all online casinos with RTG software, playable either in practice or in real money mode.
