Cleopatra's Pyramid II by WGS

Travel back to ancient Egypt with Cleopatra's Pyramid II by WGS Gaming, a feature-packed sequel built around Cleopatra, pyramids, Egyptian treasures and an unusual bonus choice. This 5-reel, 3-row slot uses 20 fixed paylines and combines stacked Wilds with a Pyramid Bonus and Free Spins where winning combinations receive a powerful 3x multiplier.

The game features traditional Egyptian symbols alongside lower-value card symbols. The higher-value symbols include an Ankh, Anubis headdress, Eye of Horus and Scarab, while Cleopatra herself acts as the game's special Wild. Winning combinations are formed when matching symbols land across an active payline from left to right.

The Cleopatra Wild can substitute for the regular symbols and has an important extra ability. Cleopatra can appear in stacked formations on the middle three reels, giving players the opportunity to land several Wilds during the same spin. Even better, wins containing Cleopatra Wilds receive an additional multiplier based on the number of Wilds involved. Five Cleopatra symbols on a winning line can award up to 5,000x the bet per line.

The game's Pyramid Scatter is responsible for activating its main bonus features. Landing 3 or more Pyramid Scatters can lead to the Pyramid Bonus or Free Spins, while collecting 4 or 5 Scatters can provide substantially more Free Games.

The Pyramid Bonus is a pick-and-win feature that takes players inside an ancient pyramid. Players select stones as they climb through the pyramid, with each successful choice revealing a cash prize. However, there is a danger along the way. Finding the hidden Scarab or Scorpion can bring the feature to an end, while successfully reaching the top of the pyramid awards the highest available prize. The feature can therefore become increasingly exciting as players move towards the apex.

The Free Spins feature provides another route to bigger wins. Three Pyramid Scatters can award 10 Free Spins, while 4 Scatters award 20 and 5 Scatters award 40 Free Spins. During the Free Spins, all winning combinations receive a 3x multiplier, making the bonus considerably more powerful than the regular game. Additional Scatters can also retrigger the feature and provide another opportunity to extend the Free Games.

The combination of stacked Cleopatra Wilds and the 3x Free Spins multiplier is particularly interesting. A winning combination involving several Wilds can benefit from the Wild multiplier, while the Free Games provide their own 3x boost. This gives players plenty to watch for once the bonus round begins.

The game is generally listed with high volatility, while published information gives an RTP of around 96.04% and a maximum win of up to 10,000x the bet. Some older sources quote different RTP figures, so players should check the exact game information displayed in the version they are playing.

Overall, Cleopatra's Pyramid II by WGS Gaming combines an easy-to-follow 20-payline format with some genuinely interesting bonus mechanics. The stacked Cleopatra Wilds make the base game more exciting, while the choice between the Pyramid Bonus and Free Spins gives the Scatters extra importance.

If you enjoy Egyptian-themed slots, Cleopatra, stacked Wilds, pick-and-win bonuses and Free Spins with multipliers, Cleopatra's Pyramid II is well worth trying in free play. Enter the pyramid, avoid the hidden danger and see whether Cleopatra can lead you towards a huge prize.
