A tripled bonus of 15 free spins returned 20 credits on a 1-credit stake, while one base-game line on spin 193 paid 183. That imbalance ran through 440 spins, which closed at 1,059.90 from 1,000.00, all under a 500x fixed cap that sits beside a progressive fed by 3.5% of each bet.
Cleopatra Megajackpots is a slot operated on a 5 by 3 grid. In my session the stake was 1.00 and the opening balance was 1,000.00. Paying combinations are created by hitting 2 or more identical symbols from left to right on any of 20 fixed paylines. Of my 440 spins, 134 paid something, and 84 of those returned less than the stake. The chief lure here is the MegaJackpots progressive, and it is claimed by hitting five Wilds on the middle payline. 3.5% of every bet goes toward funding that progressive jackpot. A random Second Chance draw after any spin likewise gives you a shot to win it, and you can enjoy Cleopatra Megajackpots from 0.20 to 600 credits per spin. Higher bets have a greater chance of being selected in that draw.
Symbols on the reels comprise low-value 9, 10, J, Q, K and A royals, and more lucrative are the All Seeing Eye, Hieroglyphics, Lotus and Scarab Beetle. The latter two are the most valuable. They grant you 37.5 times your stake for 5 of a kind. Among the other high symbols, five Hieroglyphics pay 20 times the stake and five All Seeing Eyes pay 12.5 times.
There is 1 wild on offer here to assist you on your path, and the MegaJackpots Wild functions as the regular wild symbol. Two Wilds on a payline pay 0.5 times the stake, while four pay 100 times. It subs for everything except the Sphinx Scatter. It is likewise a x2 multiplier wild, which doubles any win it is part of. During free spins, a win that includes a Wild pays 6 times, the doubled Wild combined with the tripled free spin wins.
Hitting 3 or more Sphinx Scatters triggers the Cleopatra Bonus. In my session it triggered once, on spin 306. There you're granted 15 free spins with all wins tripled, and now, hitting 3 or more Scatters again will hand you an extra 15 free spins. The tripling does not apply to the MegaJackpots prize. But there are no more than 180 free spins in one bonus. My bonus ran its 15 free spins without a retrigger and paid 20 times the stake.
The Minty Breakdown: Of the 499.90 my 440 spins won, the Cleopatra Bonus supplied 20.00, about 4%. The free spins that sell the game barely registered; a single base-game line of 183 times the stake on spin 193 carried the session to 113.6%.
The slot provides a progressive jackpot. My balance finished at 1,059.90 after 440 spins, a session return of 113.6%. In spite of that, the makers have opted to run with a fairly modest max win of 500 times your stake. My largest win was 183 times the stake on spin 193, and the second largest was 73 times on spin 269, both in the base game. I deem this a touch strange. The longest run without a win lasted 17 spins, ending on spin 124, and the balance never dropped below 903.20.
