Cleopatra Mega Cash Collect is a slot game developed by Playtech, themed around ancient Egypt and its most famous queen. The game features a 5×3 reel layout with 30 paylines, set against a backdrop of Egyptian architecture and ships sailing on the Nile.
The symbols in the game are well-designed and fit the theme perfectly. High-paying symbols include the Bastet cat, scarab beetle, golden cobra, ankh, and Eye of Horus. Lower-paying symbols are represented by poker card royals A, K, Q, and J. Cleopatra herself appears as the wild symbol, substituting for all regular symbols to form winning combinations.
The main attraction of the game is the Mega Cash Collect feature. This feature is triggered by the Cash Collect symbol, which can appear on the first and fifth reels. When activated, it interacts with various special symbols:
- Golden coins: Award instant cash prizes
- Diamonds: Randomly award mini, minor, major, or grand jackpots (20x, 50x, 200x, and 500x the initial wager respectively)
- +3 symbols: Trigger 3 or more free spins on an expanded grid
- Keys: Unlock locked rows in the expanded grid during free spins
During the free spins bonus, the Cash Collect symbol becomes sticky for three rounds and can stay longer if it appears in an unlocked row. The free spins feature also introduces additional special symbols:
- Sticky cash: Awards instant multiplier prizes
- Cash spreader: Expands random special symbols
- Dropping wilds: Triggers wild stacks
The game has a medium volatility and an RTP of 95.41%. The betting range is quite wide, allowing for bets from €/$0.10 to €/$500 per spin, making it suitable for both casual players and high rollers.
An interesting feature of Cleopatra Mega Cash Collect is its use of the expanded grid during free spins, combined with the key symbols that can unlock additional rows. This mechanic adds an extra layer of excitement and potential for bigger wins during the bonus rounds.
