Cleopatra 2

Cleopatra II is the new follow-up to a game that has proven to be one of the most popular ever released by Virgin Gaming, and available at Virgin Casino. It takes the Egyptian royal theme one step further, by increasing the bonus feature angle, and increasing payouts. As a trade off, the smaller wins don't come as regularly, but this is more than made up for by the increased frequency and value of the bonus wins. So ideally this is a slot for the true slots fan who is serious about a decent playing session, rather the casual slots player who just wants a quick spin or two.

Graphically this is a sumptuous slot, and I'm very happy to report that the winning potential is just as sumptuous. You can bet from 1 to 5 credits on up to 20 paylines, in payline multiples of 5 (1, 5, 10, 15, 20). This makes the max bet a respectable 100 credits, with a minimum of 1 credit required to spin. In order to qualify for the really big bonus wins, and the bonus feature, you need to bet all paylines, so to make this worthwhile you're in for at least 20 credits a spin. There is a Wild symbol in the form of the Cleo II logo, which will double all payouts when it completes winning combinations. The Sphinx scatter symbol is the one you'll really be interested in, however, as it is your gateway to the lucrative free spins bonus. At the same time, it pays out up to 200 credits times your bet.

Cleopatra II comes into its own in the Free Spins bonus. Once you have triggered this feature, you first get to choose from 3 boxes, to determine how many free spins you get - up to 20 to start off with. The free spins can be retriggered, which means that you could potentially get a maximum of 50 free spins. The more free spins you get, the higher your multiplier goes, as it increases by one on each subsequent spin. Add up the total number of possible free spins, and you'll see that you can end up with a 50x multiplier on your final one! Wild and scatter symbols are both active during free spins, and the game has been programmed to make them occur more frequently in this feature - making it one of the richest free spins features I've come across lately.

With it's wonderful free spins bonus feature, Cleopatra II will shoot to the top of the list for those who want an intense and well-paid slots playing experience. Don't expect to have lots of little wins - you're better off at a smaller slot for that. But if you have the patience, you'll get great satisfaction from this one, and a potential max payout of 250,000 credits.
