Cleo’s Gold is an Ancient Egyptian-themed slot from Platipus Gaming, with a central attention on the wealth of Queen Cleopatra. In addition to beautiful visual design, this slot offers players something rare in online slot play: choice. Bonus play can take one of three forms, depending on players’ preferences, with advantages to each.
Theme
Ancient Egypt remains a favorite theme among players and designers alike, and with the sumptuous, regal design present in this title, it’s easy to understand why. A glorious sunset turns the sandstone gaming background into radiant gold, with the reels gleaming before it in green undertones. Gaming symbols include the Queen Cleopatra, who pays out a game-best 1000x for five-of-a-kind, a scarab, an eye of Horus, a bust of Anubis, a blue bird sculpture, an ankh, and the playing card values ace through ten. The Great Pyramid acts as the wild symbol, while a golden mummy mask acts as the bonus scatter symbol.
Betting Options and Functions
The pyramids and impressive tombs of the pharaohs couldn’t have been built without exception attention to detail – the Platipus design team takes this inspiration to heart in designing this slot’s fine points. There are 20 fixed paylines, each paying from left to right only. Bet per line is adjustable from 0.01–1.00, yielding an overall per-spin bet range of 0.20–20.00 times the betting currency. Autoplay is available for up to 1000 spins at a time, though players should exercise caution before choosing this option, as there are no optional loss limits available. A menu offers players sound options, paytable information, detailed game info, and hand history. As is the case in other Platipus slots, the overall theoretical return to player ratio is slightly below the industry average at 94.99%.
Features
In a welcome change from the norm in slot gaming, players are given a choice when it comes to bonus features. The options are: five free spins with sticky wilds, where any wilds that appear on the reels will remain in that position for the duration of the feature; ten free spins with expanding wilds, where any wild symbols that appear expand to fill their entire reels; or fifteen free spins with stacked wilds, where wild symbols will be stacked on the reels. The feature can be retriggered without limit, with the selected mode of free spins continuing on.
Our Take
Platipus Gaming can at times be an infuriating designer. They’ve clearly put a great amount of thought into Cleo’s Gold, and the result is an outstanding slot, with a memorable bonus feature where players can finally add a bit of personality to their play style. However, as in their other titles, the overall RTP remains a step below what is available elsewhere… as such, no serious player will want to spend invest their time and bankroll here for long.
