Theme and Design
The Egyptian royalty aesthetic carries over from the original — gilded frames, carved stone, Eye of Horus, golden Ankh, scarab beetles, and Cleopatra herself as the wild symbol. The Gold version has a richer colour palette with burnished golds and deep blues. It’s visually busier than the stripped-back original but holds up on desktop and mobile.
Key Features
Three Wild Variants
Cleopatra Gold introduces three distinct wild symbols — each with the Cleopatra logo in different styles (eyes, blue background, gold). A combination of all three wild variants pays the game’s top base prize of 1,750 coins. Wilds apply a 2x multiplier in the base game and a 3x multiplier during free spins.
The Gold Spins Respin Feature
This is the new addition that differentiates Cleopatra Gold from the classic. Gold Spins trigger when:
- A stacked wild covers a full reel on the first spin, OR
- A blue Cleopatra wild randomly transforms into a gold wild and nudges to cover the reel
When triggered, you get a free respin on a new reel window. Up to three reel windows can be active simultaneously, creating the potential for massive multi-reel wild coverage. It’s the most exciting mechanic in the game and the engine behind the slot’s biggest wins.
Free Spins (The Pharaoh Scatter)
Landing 3+ scattered Pharaoh symbols triggers 10 free spins, with each additional scatter adding 2 more spins. The free spins can be retriggered multiple times, with up to 150 free spins possible in a single run. All wins during free spins carry the 3x wild multiplier. A full reel of wilds during free spins pays 5,250x (1,750 base × 3x multiplier).
Cleopatra Gold vs Original Cleopatra
| Feature | Cleopatra Gold | Original Cleopatra |
|---|---|---|
| RTP | 95.97% | 95.02% |
| Max win per free spin | 5,250x | 10,000x |
| Gold Spins feature | Yes | No |
| Three wild variants | Yes | No (single wild) |
| Max free spins | 150 | 180 |
The original Cleopatra has a higher max win potential (10,000x vs 5,250x) and can trigger more free spins (180 vs 150). But Cleopatra Gold wins on RTP, the Gold Spins mechanic, and a more modern feel overall.
Who Should Play Cleopatra Gold?
Perfect for players who:
- Love Egyptian-themed slots and want more features than the classic Cleopatra
- Prefer medium volatility (regular-ish wins, not dry spells followed by rare explosions)
- Enjoy respin mechanics alongside traditional free spins
- Want an RTP above 95.9% from an IGT title
The Sphinx watches over every spin. May she be generous.
