Game Overview
I remember the original Cleopatra quite fondly, as it was one of the first slots I ever tried after finally deciding to try some different games instead of the same old poker and blackjack I was already familiar with. That seems like an eternity ago now though – indeed, we are talking well over a decade here, and the online gambling market has changed beyond all recognition during that time. Slingo Original’s newest title, Slingo Cleopatra, uses their traditional slot/bingo hybrid formula for the base game and includes the full IGT Cleopatra slot machine. The overall RTP stands at 94.01%, whilst the maximum jackpot is capped at 10,000x the total bet.
The Slingo part of the game is identical to most other Slingo Originals games you may have played – special symbols here include wilds, super wilds, and extra spins. Cleopatra Slingo also includes scatter symbols, and hitting all three simultaneously triggers a free spins bonus on the original Cleopatra online slot. If you don’t manage to hit the scatter symbols, then it’s not the end of the world – you can still play a few spins on the Cleopatra slot when the Slingo part of the game has been completed. How many spins? That depends on how many lines you cross off your bingo card – it might be one or two… or even 50 or more!
I’ll bet that most people reading this haven’t played Cleopatra in some time. It’s an absolute blast from the past, in my opinion, and that alone is surely reason enough to take a trip down memory lane with our free demo slot of Cleopatra Slingo! It’s available to play below.
Slingo Cleopatra Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
I would argue that Cleopatra was one of the very first Egyptian-themed online slots, and for a time, the game was hugely popular at both online and land-based casinos. The game did receive a full-on sequel called ‘Cleo II’ a long time ago, but I haven’t seen that machine available to play anywhere for quite some time now. A Megaways update has been heavily rumoured over the last couple of years, but as far as I’m aware, nothing has come of that yet – perhaps they got the details wrong, and it was this Slingo game that was being developed behind the scenes. Whatever the case, it’s surprising how well the game has held up considering its age – who could genuinely say that the slot included in Cleopatra Slingo looks almost two decades old?
There are two paytables to discuss within Cleopatra Slingo – the Slingo paytable and the slot paytable. The Slingo part is easy enough – every line you complete on your bingo card gets you some free spins on the Cleopatra slot. The numbers shown are cumulative – for example, three lines get you one spin, and four lines get you two spins; therefore, four lines actually get you three spins total. Completing your entire Slingo card will add a whopping 39 additional spins to your current total, which means that you can potentially score up to 90 free spins altogether.
As for the slot machine paytable, the Cleopatra logo is the most valuable symbol on offer, with a return of 500x your original buy-in for a full payline of five of a kind. The scarab and fan symbols will each get you 37.5x the total bet for all five symbols, followed by the gold bar at 20x. Finally, there are two more hieroglyph symbols – I’m not sure what the first one depicts, but the second is definitely the Eye of Ra – both award 12.5x the total bet for a complete payline. As for the low pays, the tens award 5x whilst the aces are a little bit more valuable at 6.25x the bet for a complete payline. Note that all these payouts can be doubled if a wild symbol appears anywhere on the winning payline.
The minimum/maximum betting limits for Cleopatra Slingo are set at €0.20 and €50.00, respectively. Don’t forget that the amount you pay when playing Slingo is for the entire set of ten spins that make up a typical round – it might be worth betting a little more than you would on a traditional online slot.
Base Game & Modifiers
Never played Slingo before? Then you’re in for a real treat with Cleopatra Slingo! Each game consists of ten spins where numbers will land on the bottom row of the number grid in the middle of the screen. If any of the numbers match those shown on your Slingo card, they will be crossed off – just like a traditional bingo game. There are special symbols on the reels as well as numbers too, including two different types of wild that let you choose which number you would prefer to cross off at that time.
Completing a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line on your Slingo card will move you up the payout ladder shown to the left of the reels. The aim of the game is to hit as many lines as possible during your ten spins, although it’s also possible to purchase extra spins at the end of a round if you think you stand a good chance of completing some extra slingos. For every line crossed off your card, the game will award you free spins to play on the Cleopatra slot when the round ends.
Slingo Cleopatra Bonus Features
If three or more scatter symbols land on the reels during the bingo phase of the game, you’ll be awarded additional free spins to take to the slot element of the game once the Slingo side of it has finished. Three will award 8 free spins, four will add 15 spins, and finally, five will add 25 spins.
Free Spins
When the bingo phase of Cleopatra Slingo has been completed, you will be taken to the original Cleopatra slot machine to play off your free spins! Your first few spins are ‘win spins’, meaning that you are guaranteed to win something from every one of them. Each game can award up to ten win spins. Keep a look out for the scatters appearing, too, as additional free spins can be won.
Slingo Cleopatra Review Final Thoughts
Slingo was always intended to be a crossover between slots and bingo, and Cleopatra Slingo performs that job perfectly. The only problem is that I preferred it when you could be certain how much you would win once your Slingo game was completed. Slot spins are no replacement for cold hard cash, so it would have been nice to see a cash alternative also offered on the prize ladder.
