Novomatic's Cleopatra: Last of the Pharaohs is an excellent game devoted to arguably the most popular female ruler from Antiquity. The background imagery that surrounds the reels depicts a very realistically depicted temple. Its walls and columns are made of massive stone with a bronze shade to it. Two black statues of Anubis are placed on a pedestal in front of each column. The title of the game hangs over the reels above a circular ruby with protruding gilded wings. Half of the symbols are closely linked to the theme of the game.
Satisfying Set-Up and Generous Features
The gameplay involves five reels, three rows, and ten pay lines. The available coin sizes can be as small as ten credits and as large as 100. The maximum possible bet is 1000 credits. The AutoSpin option is available. The biggest potential prize for a single spin that can be awarded is 20 000 coins. The Return Percentage of the game is 95.17 percent. Last of the Pharaohs offers a paytable with plenty of well-paying symbols, a wild and two bonus symbols with highly beneficial effects, a free spin bonus game, and a couple of additional features.
The Queen's Paytable is Extremely Generous
The game's paytable has ten symbols, and 7 of them have three winning combinations – from 3 to 5 matching symbols. The other three have four winning combinations that include between 2 and 5 symbols. There are two top-paying symbols – the shiny, gold Great Sphynx, and the bluish bird. Both offer 8, 100, 500, and 3000 credits for its four combinations, respectively.
Next in line is the gold ring with the emerald stone on it. This symbol brings 80, 400, and 1600 credits. Anubis and the symbol that depicts a painted vase award 60, 300, and 1000 credits. The rest of the symbols are just card symbols - from A to 10. The Ace and the King grants 40, 200, and 500 credits. The Queen and the Jack give 20, 100, and 400 credits. The 10 is the third symbol with four combinations and delivers 8, 20, 100, and 400 credits.
Special Ancient Egypt Symbols and Their Rewarding Effects
Cleopatra serves as both wild and a scatter in this game. She doesn't offer any payouts and combinations. Still, she does have the regular substitution effect meaning that it can replace any other symbols to complete winning combinations and provide players with more earnings. When at least 3 Cleopatra symbols show up on the first, the third, and fifth reel, the game's free spin feature will begin.
Receive Multiplier Prizes and Stacked Wilds During the Free Spins
Once the free spins start, a pyramid will appear, and players will have to choose a block from the pyramid's lowest level. An arrow will stand out, and then a block from the higher level will have to be selected. When a stacked wild symbol is revealed, the free spins will start. Up to five stacked wild symbols can be displayed from the pyramid for the spins to begin. Once the Ankh symbol shows up on the fifth reel, the free spins counter will stop, and a multiplier of 5 will be awarded, increasing the total bet.
If a Bastet symbol shows up on the fifth reel, the counter will be unlocked. Another bonus game is the Sandstorm Bonus. After a spin fails, a sandstorm may occur on the reels, sweeping away all the symbols are replacing them with others, which will give a chance for earnings. The Gamble Feature is also available. Players need to choose between two pills, and if they get it right, they will double their prizes made after a spin. If they get it wrong, the earnings will be lost.
Cleopatra: Last of the Pharaohs is an intriguing game with a popular Ancient Egypt theme that pays tribute to the beloved historical figure and rewards players with massive symbol payouts and a free spins feature filled with beneficial surprises.
