Cleo’s Gold Slot Review

I used to know a girl named Cleopatra, and wow, did she love reminding everyone of it. 👸 You’d think she was the actual Cleopatra, the way she acted like she was better than everyone else.

She was the definition of a drama queen and fully expected to be treated like royalty. She never just showed up, she “arrived.” And let’s just say her attitude wasn’t exactly helped by the fact that her parents were loaded. 💰

Just to piss her off, a bunch of us refused to call her by her full name, we just called her Cleo. You can imagine how peasant-like she thought our behavior was… which made it even more fun for us. 😜

But hey, what did she expect, given our obvious lack of manners and royal education? 🤷

Hopefully, even if you hit the max win in Cleo’s Gold slot by Platipus Gaming, you won’t start acting like precious little Cleo. 🫣

Gameplay

Sunlight hits the tomb on the left and the palm tree on the right side of the 5x3 grid in this Ancient Egypt–themed game.

On the reels, you’ll spot plenty of familiar faces, with Cleopatra, the Scarab beetle, Anubis, Horus, and the Eye of Ra serving as the highest-paying symbols.

The game is built on the following stats: 20 paylines, a 94.99% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate.
, a medium volatility rate, a 1,200x max multiplier, and a $300,000 top prize.

Features

FREE SPINS

Landing 3 Bonus symbols will trigger the Free Spins round. Before the spins begin, you'll get to choose your preferred type of Free Spins:

  • 5 Free Spins with Sticky Wilds - Any Wild symbols that lands will remain sticky until the end of the round.

  • 10 Free Spins with Expanding Wilds - Wilds will expand to cover the entire reel.

  • 15 Free Spins with Stacked WildsUnlike fully expanded Wilds, which is a single Wild that takes over an entire reel, Stacked Wilds will appear as individual symbols stacked one on top of another. They can take over a reel but don’t always have to. - Wild symbols only appear in stacks.

During Free Spins, you can re-trigger the feature by landing 3 more Bonus symbols. You’ll receive the same number of additional spins based on your original choice. For example, if you selected 5 Free Spins with Sticky Wilds, you’ll get 5 extra spins with the same feature.

Performance

I didn’t experience any problems and the game worked perfectly.

Max Win

You’ll need deep pockets to be in line for the $300,000 top prize, as you’ll have to bet $250 per spin and marry that with the 1,200x max multiplier. The smallest bet you can place is $0.20.

Conclusion

It’s tough to build hype around a game that only offers a single feature, even if that feature is Free Spins. That said, I’ll give Platipus some credit for at least offering players a choice between three different types, which does make a difference.

Personally, I’m a fan of the Sticky Wilds option. Sure, you only get 5 spins, but if you land multiple Wilds early and they stick around, each spin gets more valuable, and that’s where the real potential lies.

It’s also possible to retrigger the Free Spins, which makes it even better.

As an overall game, though, I’m not sure it’ll become a new player favorite. If you're looking for better chances at scoring some solid wins, I’d suggest trying another Platipus game - Loot ‘N Load slot. This one packs Free Spins, Jackpots, and Shootout Re-spins.

Oh, and did I mention the 19,457x max multiplier?
