Cleopatra's Gems: Rockways Slot Review

Cleopatra was the original party chick. Back in the day, at around 40 BC, Cleo and her lover – the Roman general Mark Antony – formed a drinking club known as the “Inimitable Livers”.

For those of you not familiar with the word (and let’s be honest, there aren’t many folks throwing that one around), inimitable means “so good or unusual as to be impossible to copy”.

This society would get together each night and get utterly soaked in wine. Cleo and Mark Antony would also put on disguises and run around the streets of Alexandria, playing pranks on people.

Now it’s a far cry from the sex tapes and flashing that old Paris Hilton used to get up to, but hey, it had to start somewhere, right?

Join us now as we walk like an Egyptian with Mascot Gaming’s Cleopatra Gems: Rockways slot.

Gameplay

Here we have yet another cartoonish Egyptian-styled/Cleopatra-themed game. The grid is a 6x6 configuration and on the left is a column inscribed with the ways to win number: 46,656. On top of the reels are the multiplier numbers.

The 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. barely squeaks in at the level of acceptability with 95.1%, while the bet limits range from €0.25 to €50. The multiplier is 600x, the volatility is medium, and the top prize is a not-so-impressive €30,000.

The highest-paying symbol is a purple Sphynx cat, followed by an asp, the royal crook and flail, something that looks like an adornment for a pillar, and the Eye of Horus. After this, you’ll get all of the lower-paying symbols.

The first thing you’ll notice about the reels is that they have a varying number of symbols on em. You can get anything from 2 to 6, and this means the ways to win amount changes. Have a look at that left-hand pillar for the new number at the start of each spin.

Also at the beginning of a new round, you’ll get up to 4 blocker symbols per reel. Blockers don’t form part of any winning combos.

Features

The Wild symbol is unsurprisingly our dearest Cleo, and she can appear on any of the reels save for the first one.

The Scatter is our old friend the Scarab beetle, and 5 of these will get you 25 Free Spins. Land an additional one and see yourself rewarded with an extra 5 Free Spins.

Symbols that form part of any winning combination will explode on the reels and get replaced by new ones. This is known as the Rockfall mechanism (or cascade, as you might know it in other games). With each new Rockfall the win multiplier increases from 1x to 5x in the base game, and by 3x to 15x in the Free Spins round.

Lastly, you can make use of the Risk ‘n’ Buy feature. This is offered during the base game, irrespective of whether you win or not. As you’ll probably know by now, you’ll have the option of either risking your current win to get to the Free Spins round, or buying your way in.

Performance

I played using a few browsers, as well as on my desktop, laptop, and mobile phone. I’m happy to report that I had no issues at all.

Max Win

The max win for Cleopatra’s Gems: Rockways slot is a mere €30,000.

Conclusion

Egyptian-themed games are a dime a dozen. This one doesn’t do much to rise out of the bullrushes in an oversaturated genre. It has some OK features, but the low 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., medium volatility and pretty dismal max win is surely not going to lure players away from the competition.

It’s also not a very visually pleasing game. Feather of the Nile slot, for example, is a way better-looking game, and offers superior stats all round.

Does that mean there are no redeeming features for Cleopatra’s Gems: Rockways slot? Well, you can score a bunch of Free Spins on the game – I landed 25 within 2 minutes of playing. That’s not enough, in my opinion, to warrant choosing this particular game over a bewildering number of options out there.

But there’s nothing stopping you from giving the free version of the game a go. Maybe it speaks to you, maybe it doesn’t. Personally, it didn’t blow my kilt up.
