If you are interested in history and you are fed up with modern 3D slots, Real Time Gaming has something for you. Just sit in your chair, relax and spin the reels in quest of Cleopatra's gold.

"Cleopatra's Gold" is a five reel, twenty paylines video slot created by Real Time Gaming. This Egyptian themed game features symbols which are important in ancient Egyptian mythology. Among symbols you will find the Scarab and the Cat, which hold a sacred place in Egyptian mythology, the Eye of Horus, which stands for power, and the Ankh or Ansate cross, which symbolizes fertility. There are also suitably fashioned poker symbols, to add to the overall impression.

The most important symbol is gorgeous Cleopatra, which is a Wild symbol, substituting in for other symbols in winning combinations. Prizes are also doubled when Cleopatra is used in a combination. If you are lucky and get five Cleopatra symbols in an enabled payline, you will win 10000 coins.

Finally, the Pyramid, which is a Scatter symbol, not only pays a prize of its own, but when three or more appear on the reels then fifteen free games are awarded, during which any prizes won are tripled. More free games could be won if three scatters appear during the Free Spins feature. So, if you get three pyramids on the reels, you can count on some time off, just sitting and watching the reels spin and your balance grow.

As far as graphics and animations are concerned, they are very simple and will satisfy those who enjoy playing animated video slots offered by Microgaming, Betsoft or NetEnt. In “Cleopatra’s gold” there are some animation effects when the Cleopatra symbol substitutes in a winning combination and when the Pyramid symbol hits scatter payouts, but they are barely perceptible. When Cleopatra forms a winning combination, she tilts her head a bit, as if in approval. In the Pyramid symbol the top starts rotate and a bright light shines from within. The reels are set in a simple desert scene. The backdrop for the pay table and the rules look nice with their hieroglyphic writing. The music is adequate for this game, but it is also nothing spectacular. Definitely, much more could have been done in these areas.

However, “Cleopatra’s Gold” has one great advantage – a progressive jackpot that is hit randomly and does not depend on the amount wagered or on the combinations that appear in the enabled paylines. What is more, the coin value ranges from $0.01 to $5, which gives every pocket a chance to strike a win.

“Cleopatra’a Gold” is something one person will find perfect and another… well, less than perfect. It may not be the best game on the market, but it certainly is something different, worth trying out.
