Book of Cleopatra

The ancient Egyptian theme makes a regular return in Book of Cleopatra slot. There’s plenty here that looks very familiar to online casino games you might already have trialled, but there’s also a formula that sets you up for grand cash prizes. Free spins, gamble features and various symbols mean this isn’t an opportunity that should go wasted, but how does it stack up against titles that are near identical in look and feel? Let’s go into the reels of this treasure tomb and see what treats it has in store for us.

There are many games out there that use the ancient Egyptian theme, while many of them have very similar sounding names. You might have heard titles such as Book of Kings and Book of Dead. What makes it tricky is that different studios produce some of them, so you never really know if you’re getting a game in a series or something completely unique. Regardless, this one was developed by StakeLogic, which has produced a few ‘Book Of’ online slots before Book of Cleopatra. The visuals are everything you’d expect, hosting objects and images highly stereotypical of the ancient Egyptian online slots theme. The scenery is also that of a windowless room with Egyptian architecture serving as the background to the 5 reels and 10 paylines.

Book of Cleopatra is a high volatility game, so there could be moments when you wonder if wins will ever drop. But don’t lose patience with it as the wins certainly do drop, and with some serious bang. The most you’ll be able to wager is £50 per spin, while the wagering limits start at a very manageable 10p, so the window here should be just right to accommodate all players. Expect the jackpot to lie at a number of around £250k, which isn’t bad at all when you consider an amount like that could really change your life for the better.

FeatureSymbols

As mentioned earlier in the review, Book of Cleopatra online slot looks painfully similar to so many games we’ve reviewed in the past. And it’s mostly to do with the background to the reels and the symbols. The symbols are divided into lower and higher paying icons. The lower value ones being playing cards 10, J, Q, K and A. The higher paying icons are Egyptian themed visuals, consisting of an eagle, a black cat, Tutankhamun and the beautiful Cleopatra herself.

StakeLogic has shaken one thing up for this spinner, in that they’ve made the wild and the scatter the same icon. This is the Book of Cleopatra, and will substitute all regular symbols to create a winning pay line. There’s also another trick or two it has up its sleeve.

Bonusesand Jackpots

The wild/scatter is definitely the symbol you want to see landing more than any other. This isn’t only because of its wild functionality, but also because if you manage to land three or more anywhere on the reels on the same spin, you’ll have triggered the free spins feature. You’ll be given ten free spins, and one of the symbols will be randomly chosen as an expanding symbol to cover a reel whenever it lands during the feature.

Should you manage to land another three wild/scatters during the free spins another ten spins will be awarded, while there is also the option of buying the free spins feature should you wish to.

We’d love to be able to give Book of Cleopatra slot a better send-off, but there really isn’t much here that we haven’t seen before. Sure, the free spins – being able to trigger them or buy them – are always going to come with plenty of added value, and the expanding symbols during the spins also make wins during the feature quite easy to come by. This game only really falls short because of the lack of originality, but as a standalone, it definitely has winning potential.
