Cleo rules the reels in this 5 reel video slot

Head back to Egyptian times as Pragmatic Play welcome you to their Ancient Egypt slot machine that’s full of wilds, pick me bonuses and some exciting free spins.

Egyptian slots are ten a penny, with every casino worth it’s salt displaying at least one in the top ten games list.

This Ancient Egypt game from Pragmatic Play, however, is still a nice addition to the ever-growing list of slot machines based on this multi-god worshipping culture.

Open the game and you’re greeted with 5 reels, 10 paylines, A – 10 low paying symbols and four high paying symbols that include Queen Cleopatra, Anubis, Eye of Ra and Golden Cross.

But even though the game looks good, it’s how it plays that counts.

Wilds, scatters, and big base game wins

A medium to high volatility slot set over a 5×3 reel layout, this game combines the wild symbol and the scatter symbol into one, much like Book of Ra Deluxe 6.

It gives you more chance of creating a winning payline along with getting some big base game wins.

We’ve managed to get over 50x our bet in the base game thanks to landing a few Golden Scarab wilds across the ten paylines.

And even though getting big wins aren’t that frequent (which slot does?), you get enough lower 1x – 4x your bet frequently that keeps you going till you find the real gold.

Pick a chest, reveal a prize up to 500x your bet

The Golden Scarab symbol has a third role to play in this Ancient Egypt slot game, that of the bonus symbol.

Find three anywhere on screen and you’ll trigger a pick me bonus. This is no ordinary pick me bonus though, as it’s also where you’ll have the chance to win 10 free spins.

Enter the pick me round and you’ll be presented with three chests, each one waiting to reward you with a prize:

• Low paying reward – 1x your bet
• High paying reward – 10x to 500x your bet
• 10 Free spins with expanding symbol

Obviously, you’re either after that high paying reward or those 10 free spins, which has the chance to bathe you in real riches.

10 Ancient Egypt slot free spins with expanding symbol

This is your reward if you manage to pick the right bonus chest.

When you do, one of the symbols will be chosen at random to be the symbol that acts as the expanding scatter throughout your spins.

Fans of Book of Ra Deluxe slot will recognise what happens next.

10 free spins where the chosen symbol expands to cover the whole reel and wins will be paid out regardless of where they are on a payline or not.

It’s what makes the free spins worth waiting for, but you might have to budget to trigger them as it not only relies on you getting three bonus symbols but also picking the right bonus box.

Which is not easily done, like many tyrants, Cleo doesn’t like to reward just anyone.

Find three more scatters on the reels during a spin and you’ll get 10 more spins, which can occur quite often.

Can the Egypt of old tempt you to spin?

Available to play as the Ancient Egypt mobile slot or online slot, there are lots that this game has to offer.

From the potential for big wins in the base game to up to 500 times your total bet in the bonus game, and even more in the free spin games.

It’s 96.13% theoretical return to player rate provides some decent action, but you will have to use a good slot strategy if you’re to survive till the free spins.

Overall this a a fun and easy game to play, it steals a few ideas from the likes of Play’n GO Book of Dead and puts them to good use to reward loyal players.

Go give it a spin for yourself and see what this Egyptian Queen has in store for your wallet.
