Curse of Cleopatra Review
Curse of Cleopatra is the third game in the iconic Charlie Chance series developed by Play'n GO. This wonderfully designed Egyptian-themed slot boasts cluster pays mechanics and can see players benefit from no fewer than six different bonus features and mechanics! These bonus features and mechanics include increasing win multipliers, mega symbols, synchronised reels, random wilds and of course free spins that can see players win up to 5,500x their stake!
Design
Who doesn't love Charlie Chance? This lovable fool is always getting himself into spots of bother no matter where he goes. This time he's accidentally awoken none other than Cleopatra from her 'eternal' slumber whilst on holiday taking a tour of the Pyramids!
Naturally, Cleopatra is pretty upset... Nobody likes being woken up, do they? As a result, Cleopatra is going after Charlie, trying to put a myriad of curses on the poor guy... It's down to us, the players to turn around old charlie's fortunes.
We thought Play'n GO had truly nailed it in 2020 when they released Charlie Chance in Hell to Pay, but we were wrong... They've truly hit the mark this time with Curse of Cleopatra, this game is absolutely fantastic in terms of design! We've always been critical of how many Egyptian-themed slots are out there right now, but today we have nothing bad to say about this ancient slot.
In terms of symbols, both the high paying and low paying symbols are ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. The special symbols include a scarab wild, Cleopatra scatter and a Charlie Chance Mega symbol.
Even the soundtrack in Curse of Cleopatra is significantly better than most competing Egyptian-themed slots, it's been given a bit of a jazzy spark, especially during the bonus features. All in all, we have to give Curse of Cleopatra full marks in all respects when it comes to design!
Gameplay
Curse of Cleopatra is pretty much your typical cluster pays slot, to the left of the game grid is an increasing win multiplier and an area that display your wins as and when they come.
In terms of navigating the slot, all of the buttons can be found on a stylised action bar that runs along the bottom of the game screen, this is ordered the same as any normal Play'n GO slot, so if you've played one before you'll know what's going on here.
Win Potential
This medium volatility slot has a default RTP of 96.25% and boasts a maximum win potential of 5,500x the player's stake. It's quite possible to pick up some big wins during base gameplay thanks to the increasing win multiplier and other bonus features that regularly trigger randomly trigger before the free spins do. When these spins do kick in you're pretty much sure to get some large wins due to the fact that the win multiplier is driven up to a maximum of 10x.
