Cleopatra Diamond Spinsby IGT Interactive

Screenshots

Cleopatra was known far and wide in her time for being the ruler of Egypt. And also for her wisdom and beauty.

She famously took baths in milk and was the lover of Julius Caesar and the wife of Mark Anthony.

As with any such historical person…

…there is a lot of media featuring Cleopatra. From Shakespeare to modern video games she has enchanted and intrigued audiences around the world.

And now we have a slot game by IGT featuring this historical ruler. An homage to Cleopatra that’s full of features.

Theme

Obviously, the theme is Egypt. Ancient Egypt, specifically. This isn’t a theme that’s foreign to slot developers as can be seen from Legacy of Dead, released by Play’n Go.

Still, IGT has done enough to differentiate themselves from the pack.

Their game goes in direction that is more classical and old school.

The symbols are card numbers for the low paying end. But here they are styled as jewelry with a lot of flourish and details.

As for the high-paying, they are items from Egyptian culture. Ankhs, Eyes of Horus, and the like.

Cleopatra herself plays the role of the wild symbol which can substitute for any other symbols except the scatter.

Betting Options and Functions

The tribute to queen Cleopatra is laid out in a 5x3 grid with twenty fixed paylines. Autoplay is available for those punters who wish to automate spinning. It’s possible to just relax, sit back and watch the reels fly.

The mode will stop if any special feature is triggered thus allowing you to enjoy it fully.

When it comes to bet levels, the smallest possible stake is 20 cents while the maximum bet is a relatively low 10 dollars.

Special Features

Extra spins are a punter-favorite and for good reason. There’s just something very fun and enjoyable about seeing the reels spin without your input and more importantly – without every spin coming out of your bankroll.

The extra spin mode in this offering…

…is triggered when three to five scatter symbols (in the form of a funerary mask) land on the reels.

There’s more to love here that just the spins themselves…

…because all wins in the mode are tripled (except wins with five wild symbols).

Furthermore, the scatter wins become much more bountiful because they will be multiplied too. Two scatters have a multiplier of 2x, but if all five appear the multiplier shoots up to a dizzying 100x.

That’s not all...

…as there are more features in store. For instance, any win in the base game featuring a wild will be doubled.

And more importantly – there are jackpots.

When five diamond symbols appear the mode launches. There is a special grid on which symbols will lock in place. The punters can look forward to multiplying their original bet or even being awarded the minor, major, or grand jackpots. If the stars align properly, of course.

Our Take

This isn’t the first time IGT has tackled this subject – they also released Cleopatra II some time back.

So, what’s changed now? Primarily, there are diamonds. These diamonds look nice and trigger the jackpot feature.

With good graphics, extra spins, and jackpots this a worthy homage to one of the world’s most famous queens.
