Cleopatra Triple Fortune Slot Review
Most slots that star Cleopatra spend their money on the statues. This one spends it all on the bonus round, leaving the base game so bare that the reels barely matter until the feature arrives – and that single decision shapes everything about how it plays. IGT have built a game that’s genuinely dull to grind and genuinely interesting to trigger, which is a rarer combination than it sounds.
The reels run on a 5×4 grid, and there’s no published RTP for this one. It shares its throne room with the original Cleopatra, along with Cash Eruption and Triple Cash Eruption The Western in the studio’s wider catalogue. The Nile has carried this theme a long way, and this particular barge carries its cargo well.
Base Game & Features
The symbol set splits in the usual way: card royals at the low end, Egyptian imagery at the top. She watches over the reels like she’s checking your stake. The full line-up:
- Cleopatra – the face of the game
- Pharaoh head – premium Egyptian symbol
- Fan – premium Egyptian symbol
- Ankh – premium Egyptian symbol
- Scarab – premium Egyptian symbol
- Ace – one of the card royals
- King – card royal
- Queen – card royal
- Jack – one of the royals
The premium tier is all Egyptian, and it’s a deep one. Five symbols above the royals means more of the paytable carries the theme, and the split between the two halves of the set is clean: everything from the scarab up is drawn from the ancient world, everything below it is the standard card run.
The wild stands in for other symbols to complete wins. It does nothing else, and it doesn’t need to. There’s no multiplier attached and no special behaviour in the base game; its whole job is filling gaps, and it does that job wherever it lands.
Beyond that, the base game is a straight spin-and-hope affair. There are no random modifiers dropping in mid-spin, no collect meters filling in the background, no respins tiding you over. Everything interesting is parked behind the bonus, which makes the reels themselves a patient business.
Wins are paid on standard paylines across the four-row layout. The extra row over a conventional 5×3 gives the grid a little more room to work with, and it gives the Egyptian symbols more chances to line up in the ways that matter. More rows also means more positions for the wild to occupy, which quietly matters once the bonus awards start adding wilds to the board.
Cleopatra Triple Fortune Bonus Features
The bonus is a four-way fork. When it triggers, one award is picked from the options below, and that choice defines the round you get. The three spin-based awards share a fixed length; the fourth skips spins altogether:
- Double Reels – all games played on Double Reels, with 8 spins awarded
- Bonus Wilds – select a box and win 14 to 35 bonus wilds, with 8 spins awarded
- Wild Multipliers – 3x, 4x and 5x wild multipliers, with 8 spins awarded
- Prize Bonus – match 3 Prize Bonus icons to get an award
Double Reels
The simplest of the spin-based options. Every one of the 8 spins plays out on Double Reels, effectively doubling the real estate the symbols land on. No picks, no mystery boxes, just a bigger board for the full round.
What that means in practice is that every spin of the round runs twice the reel set. The same 8 spins you’d get elsewhere cover twice the ground, so lines that would have missed on a single board get a second set of reels to form on. It’s the option with no extras attached, and the one where the layout does all the work.
Bonus Wilds
This one adds a pick before the spins start. The sequence runs box selection, wild count reveal, then the 8 spins with your bonus wilds in play. You win somewhere between 14 and 35 of them, and the gap between those two numbers is wide, so the pick is where the tension lives.
Even the low end of that range is a lot of wilds for 8 spins. At 14, the board is already noticeably wilder than the base game ever is; at 35, there’s barely a spin where a wild isn’t somewhere in play. Every outcome in the range changes the character of the round rather than its length, which is what makes the box worth caring about.
Wild Multipliers
Wilds arrive carrying 3x, 4x or 5x multipliers across the 8 spins. A 5x wild in the right position turns an ordinary line into something worth the wait. It’s the most explosive of the three spin options on paper.
Where Bonus Wilds changes how many wilds are in play, this option changes what each one is worth. The three multiplier tiers mean the value of any wild that lands depends on which tier it carries. Same spin count, same board, completely different arithmetic on every wild.
Prize Bonus
The odd one out. Rather than awarding spins, the Prize Bonus pays out when you match 3 Prize Bonus icons. It’s a direct award rather than a round, and it breaks up the rhythm of the other three options nicely.
Three of the four options are variations on the same 8-spin theme, differentiated by what gets added to the reels, and the Prize Bonus sits outside as an instant alternative. There’s no maximum win figure for this one, so what a full run of 5x wilds adds up to is a question the game leaves open.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 6.9/10
Sitting down at Cleopatra Triple Fortune means accepting a long vigil at the palace gates before anyone lets you in. The reason to choose it is that door itself: you never know which of the four bonuses is waiting on the other side, and that not-knowing is the whole entertainment.
The four-way bonus is the best thing here, because two of the awards – the box pick and the multiplier wilds – are genuinely different rounds rather than the same round wearing different hats. That’s more variety than most games offer at the point of trigger.
The cost is everything before it. The base game is bare, and there’s no RTP to check whether the waiting is priced fairly. Players who enjoy a build towards a feature with a real roll of the dice at the end will get on with Cleopatra just fine; anyone who wants the reels themselves to entertain should look elsewhere along the riverbank.
