Cleopatra II Slot IGT (WagerWorks)

‘Cleopatra II’ is a video slot, with 5 reels and 20 Paylines from IGT Software. Even though ‘Cleopatra II’ is a modern version of the original Cleopatra slot, its graphics are a little bit dated compared to newer slots. Nonetheless, it is a very popular and successful sequel to one of the all time most popular IGT slots, the Cleopatra slot machine. This sequel is quite similar to the original slot, but one major difference is that it is higher variance, so you can expect longer losing streaks with bigger wins. So, if you are into Egyptian themed slots, should try out some spins on this sequel.

Cleopatra II is a much bolder, sleeker and bursts with more sex appeal than the first Cleopatra because apparently the other Cleo was too "overweight". I mean what was she wearing compared to this sexy mature goddess! So much like Microgaming's Rhyming Reels, hearts and tarts on 1st. This new Cleopatra is indeed a queen! Openly expressing my thoughts, this new spankalicious Cleopatra gives great potential for mega wins!!! The adoring feature, triggered for 3 or more scattered Sphinx sent me out on a quest to pick from 1 of 3 Royal chests. These chests contain the amount of free spins I can take with me so a wise choice is up on stage to perform! I believe that the most is 12 free spins but randomly it can be different per trigger and possibly much more free spins are involved if more Sphinx scatters land!

$1 triggering bets were pleasing to the eyes as were the delightful Egyptian Royal! Each spin played targets the multiplier which starts from the bottom for 1x and increases it's way up per free spin. The reels spin in unique ways, rolling up, down and in combination of both, alternating for additional entertainment! Retriggering with 3 more scattered Sphinx was like listening to the sound of a boxing bell hitting 3 times to alert me of what true contentment really is like, thus increasing the multiplier to a much higher plain and winning big fist-sized dollars!!!

Oh my.....the 3rd retrigger (initial trigger counted), words alone were not enough to describe such fast heart beating hits.....on a 33x multiplier, $377 total win!!! This is much more value than what the 1st Cleopatra can measure up to create. Dead on perfect graphics, Cleopatra's eyes shimmering, not looking out of shape, free spins that were climbing progressively in multipliers, serious royal potential for mega wins and ultimately, this royal scalding goddess gradually twerked her way to getting a perfect 10!! Nothing about her displeased me....in her appearance, her free spins or her chambers (bedroom, throne room or the room with the sarcophagus, you pick)!!!

I've been playing IGT slots in the land based casinos near me for some time before I begun gambling on-line and the original Cleopatra was always a favourite of mine way back in the day, though it doesn't seem quite as impressive compared to the most recent on-line games.

I'll always remember the expensive cabinet created for this sequel, and especially its spooky Egyptian music that would pound from the overly loud speakers particularly during the bonus rounds. I was really quite excited when I found the game available for play on-line but couldn't help but feel it lost a little of its impact without the high colour dual screens, and it never quite sounded as good through my laptop either!

When you hit the scatters in this gamae you are asked to "Pick a box" from three onscreen which reveals the number of freespins you will receive. Your first free spin has a (useless) 1x multiplier but this increases on every subsequent spin. Because of this I was really looking forward to having some extra time to play the game and hopefully see the maximum fifty spins which can result from a couple of retriggers - the 50th spin at a crazy 50x multiplier! I'd seen this in the casino once or twice and looked on jealously as those people cashed out a few thousand - must have been a great night for them!

And after several thousand spins and many deposits lost I did finally get to experience this, the games maximum feature hit, for myself. It didn't work out quite as amazingly as I'd hoped - I only got a couple of decent wins throughout the whole of my 30th to 50th spins, but the final result was still over 800x my stake - a decent hit, and one that put me firmly in profit for that session but nowhere near enough to cover my accumulated losses.

Since then I've only been back to "Cleo II" on occasion, I guess mostly for a little Nostalgia fix. It's definitely one of my favourite IGT games and has a lot more potential than their ever popular Rainbow Riches and the Egyptian theme and styling has been copied countless times since by other game providers - this is the original though, and I would say the best of the bunch!
