The Ptolemaic Kingdom in Ancient Egypt is a popular theme for slot games, and Cleopatra and/or Julius Caesar are always the central figures. Cleo was the final active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom and she reigned for 21 years between 51-30 BC. During that time, she had an intimate relationship with Julius Caesar and bore his son, Caesarion. But you’ll quickly discover that there’s no Caesar included in A Night With Cleo. It’s all Cleopatra in this game, and you’ll soon see why.
The game is set at Cleopatra’s headquarters, which stands in front of three massive pyramids. A night sky lit by shooting stars and a glowing moon encircles Cleo’s home, and a river reflects the moonlight to create a mystical ambiance all around. As you spin the reels over this beautiful and tranquil setting, Egyptian-themed icons such as scarabs, gold jewelry, the Eye of Horace make the High symbols, while card rankings 9-A make the Low Symbols. For easy reference, the paytable is located in the game settings and lists the payouts for each icon based on how many matches you line up on the 20 paylines.
A Night With Cleo uses the same 5-reel, 20-payline format that’s common with a lot of our newer slot games. The paylines are fixed, so they’re all enabled for each spin. Simply choose how much you want to wager per spin by using the “Bet” button (bets range from $0.20 to $200), and your stake will be divided by the 20 paylines to determine your bet-per-line. All 12 icons on the paytable show the payouts based on your bet-per-line.
A Night with Cleo has several bonus features included, but it’s the Gamble feature that attracts the most attention—and for good reason. After any winning spin, players have the option of risking their payout for a chance to double it. The “Gamble” button is tucked away at the bottom-right corner of the screen and illuminates after winning a payout. This feature takes you to a moon-lit pool where Cleopatra is waiting to facilitate the game. She presents you with two flowers to choose from: one of the flowers has gold coins concealed within it and the other one doesn’t. This game gives you a 50/50 shot of guessing correctly, and the stakes are high. If you pick the right flower, your payout is doubled—and Cleopatra removes a layer of clothes to celebrate the victory. The Gamble feature can be played up to five times per win if you continue to guess correctly. If you make all the way to the fifth double-up, your payout will be doubled five times over, and Cleopatra will be nude from the waist up.
As you spin the reels of A Night With Cleo, you’ll notice icons with a Lock and the words Free Spins. A minimum of three of these Scatters are needed to unlock the game’s Free Spins feature. Not only do you get 15 free spins with triple the payouts, but the scatter also awards an instant cash prize when you land multiple matches on a payline.
Wilds appear in the form of Cleopatra, who substitutes for any game icons (other than Scatters) in order to help generate more wins.
You can play a version of A Night with Cleo with Hot Drop Jackpots. These are real-time, must-win jackpots that have to drop Hourly and Daily, plus an Epic Jackpot that can drop at any time. There’s pretty much always a jackpot ready to be won, and you can see them coming!
With so many casino players turning their attention to A Night With Cleo, there are many intriguing elements to consider in this review. We’ve highlighted three important ones that we think any Cleopatra fan would agree with.
Not many casino games provide players with an opportunity to double their money free of charge. This game’s double-or-nothing feature is the equivalent of a coin flip—the stakes are high, but so is the reward.
