About the Cleopatra Slot
Any 5-reel slots fan who's been to a land casino in Las Vegas, the UK, or just about anywhere for that matter, will probably have seen or played IGT's Cleopatra slot, an IGT game that is arguably the most popular 5 reel slot of all time. That's not to say that other slots like Wolf Run or the original Davinci Diamonds slot game don't give Cleopatra a good run for her money - and I am ignoring the popularity of progressive jackpots too! But you get my drift.

IGT have launched an online version of this Vegas classic. In fact, they have launched 2 versions: the original and a "refreshed" version which is quite horrible! No idea why they did it but you'll be pleased to hear that the version above is the original which is a faithful reproduction of the game found in land based casinos (but with a better RTP of 95.01%). It has the same bonus feature with 15 free spins at 3x that was first introduced to us by Aristocrat's Queen Of The Nile game and which has become a staple feature in a ton of games ever since.

The version above is by far the most popular slot game here. It was the first of two Cleopatra slots released by IGT - the other being Cleopatra 2 (which personally I prefer). While I write this, it occurs to me that the Egyptian theme has also become something of an enigma - some of the biggest slot games in history have Egypt as the central theme: the Cleopatra slots, aforementioned Queen Of The Nile and subsequent follow-up plus the very popular (in Europe and South America) Novomatic slot game, Book Of Ra. Egypt, Rome, Greek Gods - must be something about the mythology we all love.

The original Cleopatra slot (above) and Cleopatra II share the bonus feature trigger mechanism: 3 scatters anywhere in view. On the original however, when you get the feature you get 15 free spins with all wins trebled (15x3), while on Cleopatra II, you get to pick a number of spins and the multiplier increases by one on each spin. But it's much harder to hit wins on Cleopatra II in the feature round, compared to the original (but when you do it can be monster because of the increasing multiplier in Cleopatra II's free-spin feature).
