The Egypt slot they all copy — 15 tripled free spins, up to 180
Three or more Sphinx scatters anywhere on the reels open the Cleopatra Bonus with 15 free games.
During the bonus, all wins except five-Cleopatra lines are multiplied by three — the heart of the game's earning potential.
Three more Sphinxes during the feature add another 15 spins, stacking to a maximum of 180 in one round.
The queen substitutes for other symbols and doubles the prize of any combination she completes.
One coin per payline, valued anywhere from 0.01 up to 100 — a range that suits penny play and high-stakes sessions alike.
The 5-reel, 20-line layout pays left to right, with the Cleopatra wild doubling anything she joins.
Two scatters already pay 2x the total bet; three or more launch the tripled-win free games.
Keep an eye out for more Sphinxes during the bonus — the round can grow to 180 spins.
Cleopatra's free-spin round is the reason this game has outlived most of its generation. Three Sphinx scatters award 15 spins in which every win — bar the five-Cleopatra line itself — pays triple. Because the feature retriggers each time three more Sphinxes appear, disciplined sessions can snowball toward the 180-spin ceiling, and experienced players deliberately chase that retrigger: the 3x multiplier stacked on the wild's 2x doubling is where the game's real money is made.
Name recognition matters in slots, and almost no title carries more of it than IGT’s Cleopatra. Well over a decade after release it still ranks among the most searched and most played classic machines in the world — even though, judged coldly, its 2D graphics are ordinary and its nod to the last queen of Egypt is historically loose. Players keep returning for one reason: the mathematics of its bonus round.
The spec sheet reads simply — 5 reels, 20 paylines, a 95.02% return and high volatility, with coins from 0.01 to 100. The Cleopatra wild doubles anything it touches, the Sphinx scatter pays up to 100x the total bet, and the logo tops the paytable at 10,000 coins. The modern HTML5 build has fixed the old Flash version’s rough edges, adding autoplay and smooth in-browser play on phones and tablets alike.
It may not be the prettiest slot in the lobby, but it is fun and, above all, capable of being profitable — try the free demo above and see why the legend persists.
Yes. Cleopatra remains widely available at IGT-powered online casinos and can also be played for free in demo mode directly on this page — no download or registration needed.
Cleopatra returns 95.02%, slightly below the 96% industry average but offset by the generous free-spin bonus with its 3x multiplier on all wins.
Land three or more Sphinx scatters anywhere to start 15 free spins. During the bonus, wins are tripled, and three more Sphinxes add another 15 spins — up to a maximum of 180 in a single round.
Five Cleopatra logo symbols on a payline pay 10,000 coins — the game’s headline jackpot.
