Wild Link Cleopatra Slot Review

SpinPlay Games is a slot provider that we have not covered on BTCGOSU. And, in truth, we cannot recall if we have ever played any of their releases. We remember that, in the summer of 2020, news surfaced online that this Las Vegas-based company struck a deal with Microgaming for this juggernaut to distribute its titles at online casinos around the globe. SpinPlay’s debut release was Roman Power which did not do too shabby. Now, almost two years later, they have released close to twenty slots, and Wild Link Cleopatra, at writing, is the only one trending in the top one hundred rankings in multiple markets. In the UK, it reached as high as the number eight spot. Released in late April, its quick rise to prominence gave us a reason to explore it and hopefully pay more attention to other SpinPlay products in the future.

Theme & Design

You probably have an idea about who Cleopatra was, and if you are oblivious regarding one of the most famous females that ever lived, we suggest you check out our Cleopatra IGT slot review. We provide a short history lesson in that slot analysis. Here, we will inform you that for our research, this is the one hundred and eighty-second reel-spinner to use the Queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt as its motif, and it was close to being the one thousand Egyptian-themed reel-spinning game.

Since we have not played any other SpinPlay Games, we cannot compare Wild Link Cleopatra’s presentation to any other release from this provider. We don’t know if what we saw here was par the course for this Las Vegas company or a good/bad exception. On its own, we can tell you that we did not find Wild Link Cleopatra very visually enticing. The graphics here are painterly, boasting vibrant colors. However, everything seems a bit flat. The slot’s title character sits on a throne left of the reel grid, which gets flanked by a pillar on its right. The design of the symbol graphics is slightly reminiscent of Play ‘n Go’s Book of Dead, and animations in the slot only play during its bonus features. They are not anything to get overly excited about. The same can get said for the game’s cliché soundtrack and sound effects.

You can find the spin button right of the reel grid above the settings one. The bet-adjuster is in the bottom left corner of your screen, and entry into the help page is accessible via the three-dot icon above Cleopatra’s head. Wild Link Cleopatra Slot

Specs & Gameplay

Wild Link Cleopatra is a medium variance spinner with an RTP of 96.37%. Its betting range moves from as low as $0.2 to as high as $50, featuring a max payout potential of x4,841 a gambler’s wager. The game utilizes the standard 5×3 layout that can expand up to 6×9. It incorporates a default 243 bet-ways, with this number swelling up to 177,147 thanks to the bonus features of Wild Link Cleopatra.

The low-paying tokens of this game are the standard 10-A royals, paying x1 for five-of-a-kind. The high-paying ones are a jar, an ankh cross, Ra’s eye, a scarab, and what we think is a funny-looking leopard. Landing five identical symbols from this batch will yield a reward between x2 to x5, depending on which five matching images appear on the same spin.

The scatter here is a pyramid, and Cleopatra is the Wild. Both of these do not generate payouts, and Cleopatra symbols only appear on the first reel of the game grid. They can substitute all other game tokens.

Bonus Features

When Cleopatra or the sun symbol appears on the first reel, the Wild Link feature will get triggered. When that occurs, the reels will expand, adding three more rows. It is then that Cleopatra can throw up to x5 multipliers onto the reel grid. Sun symbols showing up during this round will have cash values attached.

Hitting three to five Scatters activates the Free Spins feature, which will provide ten, twenty, or thirty complimentary reel rotations depending on the number of landed Scatters. During this mode, a sixth reel containing only sun symbols gets connected to the game grid, which will now feature six rows. Wild Link Cleopatra
