IGT games introduced a new addition to their already amazing lineup. The company produced Cleopatra video game slot. International Gaming Technology also known as IGT is famous for delivering one of the best games to the casino and gaming world. The popularity of this particular casino game slot pushed the company to release a sequel known as the Cleopatra II slot machine.

Theme and Story Line.

The theme of this game is coupled a bit differently combining two amazing ideas of Egyptological and Magical touch. The game is named after the last Egyptian ruler of ancient time, Enter Cleopatra Philopater. She ruled Egypt world for the last time before it became a part of the great Roman Empire.

The ever seducing eyes of this beautiful and intelligent lady captivate you all of a sudden when you look at the logo of the game. However, you won’t notice an exceeding story while playing, the theme of the game still makes its overall look worthwhile.

Cleopatra will take you on an amazing adventure of treasure hunt and make you able to secure mighty winnings if the fate is with you.

Graphics, Sounds, and Animations.

Iconic Egyptian music soothes your ears and makes you feel like you really are in Egypt. As Egypt is enriched with mysterious stories of treasures and wealth, it sets as a great theme to indulge you in a treasure hunt adventure.

Turn the background music on to feel the ancient Egyptian vibes. The symbols of the game perfectly match the concept as they include Sphinx, Cleopatra herself, Eyes of Horus, Lotus Flower, Scarab Beetle, Crook, and Flail.

The graphics of the game are fairly nice, but they lack the wow factor. The color scheme is kept bright to appeal to the users, but there is nothing too special. The animations used in the game are smooth.

Top Casinos to Play the Game:

Gameplay.

The game offers a standard feature of 5 reels and 20 pay lines. The player can choose the number of win lines from a set of choices which offers, 1, 5, 9, 15 or 20 win lines.

The bonus round of the game is also pretty simple, but it does offer you free spins, progressive jackpots, and a multiplier. If you want to have fun while playing, this game is just the right choice for you.

The progressive jackpots, however, help to build up the popularity of the game. This feature ensures you of the big winnings.

Bonuses and Free Spins.

The jackpot for this game will make a huge return for you. The Sphinx is used as a scatter symbol and Cleopatra is known as the wild symbol. Cleopatra symbol helps you secure huge winnings.

The bonuses this game offers are of two types:

• Free Spins
• Progressive Jackpot

Free Spins:

The free spins round activates whenever 3 scatter symbols land anywhere on the screen. Landing three scatter symbols will trigger 15 free spins for you to avail. If you win in the feature round, a triple multiplier feature activates. You can re-trigger this feature in the game.

Progressive Jackpot:

Landing 5 mega jackpot symbols on the middle pay line claim a progressive jackpot payout. A random Second Chance feature is also available in case of no-winning. This feature surely sets a record benchmark of facilities. The game goes out of the way for a promising win if you turn out to be lucky.

Bet sizes, RTP, and Variance.

Talking about the RTP, it falls just below the average 96% offered by the other providers of the industry. The RTP value being 95.02% is just okay.

The slightly low RTP value did not come in the way of success for this game slot which is a surprising fact. The game is highly popular and people do love to play it.

With a variance of medium to high and famous reputation, the game is surely successful amongst the players. One of the reasons for the success of this game is the vast range of bet sizes it offers. The minimum bet size is only $0.02 whereas the maximum is $1000.

Conclusion:

IGT has kept its grace by providing an easy to use and vibrant video game slot. The extreme combination of ancient theme coupled with magic and history, and amazing chances of insuring winnings this game offers, make it one of a kind.

Introduction

In my continued effort to pull the veil of secrecy away and show how slot machines work, I offer the following deconstruction of the popular IGT game Cleopatra. This is a simple five-reel video slot with a free spin bonus.

The version this analysis is based on is the one that can be played for free at FreeCasinoGames.net.

The Reel Strips

Our friends at Casino Guru were kind enough to provide the reel strips for the game at Vegas Slots Online. I believe they pieced them together from a lot of playing, the same way I did other slot deconstructions, like the one of Lionfish.

The way video slots like this one work is to choose a random number for each reel, from 1 to the number of positions in the reel, and map the random number to the corresponding position on the reel. In other words each position on a given reel is equally likely. The number of each symbol on each reel is carefully chosen to achieve a desired return. Following are the reel strips for Cleopatra. Note that reel 5 is longer than first four reels.

Cleopatra Reel Strips

Position	Reel 1	Reel 2	Reel 3	Reel 4	Reel 5
1	eye	Q	K	K	gold
2	Q	J	9	9	10
3	10	gold	eye	eye	J

36	Q
37	crook and flail
38	9

41	9

For an example, consider this screenshot above. Assume that the random number chosen is associated with the symbol appearing in the top row. This configuration would occur if the random numbers chosen were as follows:

• Reel 1: 2
• Reel 2: 19
• Reel 3: 7
• Reel 4: 5
• Reel 5: 14

In the event the random number chosen is last or second to last on the reel, then the reel would wrap around, with position 1 following the last position on the reel.

Symbol Frequency

The next table shows the total number of each symbol on each reel.

Cleopatra Symbol Distribution

Symbol	Reel 1	Reel 2	Reel 3	Reel 4	Reel 5

Total	30	30	30	30	41

Pay Table

The pay table is easily seen from the rule screens, which I also show in the table below. Cleopatra is wild and may substitute for any symbol except the Sphinx. In addition, one or more Cleopatra symbols will double any win, except wins based only on Cleopatras. In the event the player qualifies for two possible wins on the same pay-line, because it started with two to four wilds, the game will choose the higher of the two wins. In that event results in a tie, I count it as an all Cleopatra win in the tables of winning combinations later on. For example, Cleopatra - Cleopatra - K - Q -J, which can be scored as 10 for either two Cleopatras or a doubled three kings, is counted as two Cleopatra win.

Cleopatra Pay Table

Symbol	5 pays	4 pays	3 pays	2 pays
Cleopatra	10000	2000	200	10
Scarab	750	100	25	2

The Sphnix is a scatter pay. This means the player is paid according to the number that appear on the screen anywhere. The player is paid a multiple of his total amount bet and the number of diver symbols. Following is the scatter pay table.

• 5 Pays: 100
• 4 Pays: 20
• 3 Pays: 5
• 2 Pays: 2

Be warned that the math is tedious and error-prone to calculate these combinations by hand. If you're up to the challenge and you can code, then I recommend coding five nested loops and cycle through all 30^4*41=33,210,000 possible outcomes.

The next table shows the probability of each possible win for the non-doubled wins. The lower right cell shows a hit frequency per line of 1.85% for non-doubled wins.

Scatter Pay

The Sphinx is known as a 'scatter pay' symbol. It pays based on the number that appear anywhere on the screen. They do not have to be left aligned or on the same pay-line. Scatter pay wins are based on the total amount bet, as opposed the bet per pay-line.

The following table shows the probability and contribution to the return for each number of scatter pays. The bottom row shows a hit frequency on the scatter pay of 7.36% and a contribution to the total return of 17.51%.

Scatter Pay — Fixed Wins

Bonus

If the player gets three or more scatter symbols, then he will play a bonus round. The bonus round consists of an initial 15 free spins. Free spins use the same reel stripping as initial spins. All wins, except for five Cleopatras, are tripled. If the player gets three or more scatter symbols in a free spin, then he will get an additional 15 free spins.

As shown in the scatter section above, the probability of three or more scatters is 0.007256, or 1 in 138. After considering the probability if re-triggering the bonus in a free spin, the final number of free spins averages 16.832022. The rules say there is a cap of 180 free spins but that probability of that is truly negligible.

We can see from the final return table that the return from line pays is 0.586609. From the scatter section, we see the return from scatter pays is 0.175078. If it weren't for the rule of the jackpot (five Cleopatras) not tripling, the value per free spin would be 3×(0.520470+0.175078) = 2.086643. We need to subtract from that two times the value of the jackpot, because the jackpot is not tripled, which is 2× 0.000602 = 0.001204. Thus, the value of a free spin is 2.086643 - 0.001204 = 2.085439.

Multiplying the average number of free spins and the average win per free spin gives us the average bonus win of 16.832022 × 2.085439 = 35.102153.

The overall return from the bonus is the bonus probability times the average bonus win, which equals 0.007256 × 35.102153 = 0.254704.

Summary of Return

The final table below shows the return of each win category in Cleopatra. The lower right cell shows a total return for the game of 95.025%. The rule screens on the online game claim a return of 95.02% (perhaps they round down). Now you understand where it comes from.

Cleopatra Summary

Type of Win	Return
Line pays in initial spins	52.047%

Hit Frequency and Standard Deviation

The following table shows the hit frequency and standard deviation for all possible number of paylines bet from 1 to 20. The standard deviation is expressed two ways, as follows:

• Total standard deviation: This is the total standard deviation if betting one credit per line.
• Relative standard deviation: This is the ratio of total standard deviation to the amount bet. In other words, the standard deviation relative to the total amount bet.

The table below is based on a 20 random simulations, one for each number of lines bet, of 100 million spins in each simulation. The data was kindly provided by Casino Guru.
