Play With Cleo

Ancient Egypt is a constant source of inspiration for video slot developers. Games featuring Egyptian kings, queens, and mythical creatures represent some of the most popular titles in the industry, so it’s not so surprising that new video slot developers are continuing the tradition of trying to bank in on this topic.

That is the case with Dragon Gaming and one of their latest releases dubbed Play With Cleo. However, the legendary Cleopatra in this game is presented differently compared to other similar titles, wearing a skimpy outfit and suggestively laying and parading through her royal chambers.

Apart from having a sexy twist, Play With Cleo looks very much like a standard video slot. It is played on a 5×3 grid and has 27 fixed paylines multiplied by the coin value to determine the total bet that can range from $0.27 to $13.50. The game also features an exciting bonus round and comes with a respectable RTP of 95.82%.

Play With Cleo is a very beginner-friendly game. The only thing you need to do before initiating the spins is set your coin value anywhere from $0.01 to $0.50. Since each play costs 27 coins, that means that the total bet ranges from $0.27 to $13.50, making the game ideal for casual players. Those looking to stake the highest amount can conveniently use the Max Bet button left of the spin button.

Once you’re decided on your bet, you can manually press the spin button or press the autoplay button next to it to set 10, 50, 100, 500, or 1,000 automatic plays. You can find more autoplay options in the configuration tab located under the + (plus) icon in the bottom left corner. This is also where you can adjust other settings and read the game’s rulebook.

While playing, make sure to keep track of the numbers in the bottom right, as they indicate your total balance and the winning amount for the current spin. Opposite to it is the number showing the total paylines (27). The number of active paylines is the same for every spin and cannot be altered.

Like a large number of video slots, Play With Cleo features low-tier symbols formed as playing cards — 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A. Differently colored scarabs represent the high-tier symbols — a scorpion, a snake, and a cat, the last of which is the most valuable symbol, awarding 500 coins when all five match in a payline.

Meanwhile, Cleopatra herself represents the wild symbol. Once a wild becomes part of a winning combination, it will expand to cover the entire reel it’s placed on, and all wins from an expanded wild come with a 3x multiplier.

The bonus symbol (pyramids) unlocks the free spins game. Once three or more bonus symbols land, the player gets 12 free spins, which the bonus symbols themselves carry a reward. Each spin guarantees an appearance of a one, two, or three expanded wilds on reels one, three, and five during the bonus game. The associated winnings will have a 3x, 5x, or 7x multiplier depending on the number of wilds.

The bonus symbols are excluded from the free spins, meaning that you won’t trigger new free spins during the bonus round.

Play With Cleo explores the same old topic of Ancient Egypt, and as such, you may think that it isn’t very innovative, but you would be wrong. This particular Cleopatra is different from the ones you may have seen in other video slots in the sense that she’s more revealing (quite literally). However, her appearance is far from being the only stimulating thing about the game.

The game’s main attribute is the bonus round that guarantees a win with almost every free spin thanks to the expanding wilds, so if you’re lucky enough to unlock it, you can expect hefty wins coming your way. What’s more, you won’t have to reach deep into your pockets to enjoy Play With Cleo, as the betting limits cater to casual players.

Like any Dragon Gaming slot, Play With Cleo has mesmerizing graphics and a hypnotic soundtrack. You’ll get a similar experience while playing through some of their other popular titles like Aztec Warrior, The Bank Heist, Fortune Frog, and Rise of the Titans, to name a few.
