Legend Of Cleopatra
But the Legend of Cleopatra gameplay Megaways is original and interesting. Before starting, you need to place bets using the 'Bet' button, and then spin the reels by pressing the arrow key. When playing on the field, symbols will change. Cleopatra, card denominations, images of the gods Thoth, Anubis and the goddess Bastet were chosen as the basis. Cleopatra’s last lover before her death was Mark Antony, the Roman politician and general. The pair loved playing games and pranks with one another, and one in particular has become the stuff of legend. In one of Antony and Cleopatra’s elaborate contests, she bet him that she could throw the most expensive dinner in history. Cleopatra, Egyptian queen, famous in history and drama as the lover of Julius Caesar and later as the wife of Mark Antony. She became queen on the death of her father, Ptolemy XII, in 51 BCE and ruled until 30 BCE, when she and Antony committed suicide after their forces were beaten by the Roman armies of Octavian.
Legend of Cleopatra Megaways Slot (Playson)
Playson first released this game in 2018, and in 2020, the developer decided to upgrade it to a Megaways. This gave birth to a slot known as Legend of Cleopatra Megaways.
Here is my review of the Megaways version of the slot, Legend of Cleopatra:
Game Set-Up
Legend of Cleopatra Megaways has 6 reels and up to 200,704 Megaways. This is a surprising move by Playson as a majority of slots using this set up provide fewer Megaways.
The game sues features like free spins, Collapsing Symbols, and Scarab Multipliers.
Betting and Prizes
Placing a bet is straightforward, and easy, and all that you need to do is input the amount that you want to use. The betting range here is between $0.20 and $100 per spin.
Given that the slot offers more than 200,000 potential combos, combined with the multipliers, the slot offers great potential to players. However, Playson has placed a cap at 6,584x the stake.
The payout may not be as exciting as we have seen on other slots, and the developer has also maintained high volatility for the title.
For the RTP, I find it to be absolutely low, and at 95.84%), it is not near what other Megaways slots offer.
Legend of Cleopatra Megaways Slot Features
Most Megaways slots use the cascading reel's mechanism. On Legend of Cleopatra Megaways, this concept is known as Collapsing Symbols.
Collapsing Symbols work just like the cascading reels, and they remove the winning symbols and replace them new ones. A horizontal reel will appear at the top of the middle four columns.
Scarab Multipliers are great boosters, and they will increase the value of your wins.
Golden wilds will help you to form winning combinations, and they will also act as replacements for the regular symbols.
Free spins are present too! Initially, you will get 12 free spins, and you can retrigger them whereby, you will be given an extra 5 extra spins.
Legend Of Cleopatra Slot
I love the fact that the multiplier will keep on increasing and not reset until the feature ends.
Legend Of Cleopatra
Theme & Design
Playson didn’t put much effort into getting a new theme or story for this title. Cleopatra has already been overused in Ancient Egyptian inspired games, and the developer would have done better with something more creative.
Symbols include the usual beautiful Egyptian queen, images of the deities (Horus, Bastet and Anubis). Royals are present to represent the low-value symbols.
The design is generally good, and so are the graphics. Even if you are not a great fan of this kind of theme, you will love the beautiful work that Playson has given the title.
Legend Of Cleopatra Megaways
Conclusion
Legend of Cleopatra Megaways may offer a few changes, but there is nothing much to enjoy here as far as originality is concerned.
Additionally, the RTP offered by the developer is quite low and may work against its high volatility.
From the experience that I had with Legend of Cleopatra Megaways, I can only recommend it to casual players.

The Legend of Cleopatra[edit]
| 580 | After the deeth of Tholomee the king, |
| That al Egipte hadde in his governing, | |
| Regned his quene Cleopataras; | |
| Til on a tyme befel ther swiche a cas, | |
| That out of Rome was sent a senatour, | |
| For to conqueren regnes and honour | |
| Unto the toun of Rome, as was usaunce, | |
| To have the world unto her obeisaunce; | |
| And, sooth to seye, Antonius was his name. | |
| So fil hit, as Fortune him oghte a shame | |
| 590 | Whan he was fallen in prosperitee, |
| Rebel unto the toun of Rome is he. | |
| And over al this, the suster of Cesar, | |
| He lafte hir falsly, er that she was war, | |
| And wolde algates han another wyf; | |
| For whiche he took with Rome and Cesar stryf. | |
| Natheles, for-sooth, this ilke senatour | |
| Was a ful worthy gentil werreyour, | |
| And of his deeth hit was ful greet damage. | |
| But love had broght this man in swiche a rage, | |
| 600 | And him so narwe bounden in his las, |
| Al for the love of Cleopataras, | |
| That al the world he sette at no value. | |
| Him thoughte, nas to him no thing so due | |
| As Cleopatras for to love and serve; | |
| Him roghte nat in armes for to sterve | |
| In the defence of hir, and of hir right. | |
| This noble quene eek lovede so this knight, | |
| Through his desert, and for his chivalrye; | |
| As certeinly, but-if that bokes lye, | |
| 610 | He was, of persone and of gentilesse, |
| And of discrecioun and hardinesse, | |
| Worthy to any wight that liven may. | |
| And she was fair as is the rose in May. | |
| And, for to maken shortly is the beste, | |
| She wex his wyf, and hadde him as hir leste. | |
| The wedding and the feste to devyse, | |
| To me, that have y-take swiche empryse | |
| Of so many a storie for to make, | |
| Hit were to long, lest that I sholde slake | |
| 620 | Of thing that bereth more effect and charge; |
| For men may overlade a ship or barge; | |
| And forthy to theffect than wol I skippe, | |
| And al the remenant, I wol lete hit slippe. | |
| Octovian, that wood was of this dede, | |
| Shoop him an ost on Antony to lede | |
| Al-outerly for his destruccioun, | |
| With stoute Romains, cruel as leoun; | |
| To ship they wente, and thus I let hem saile. | |
| Antonius was war, and wol nat faile | |
| 630 | To meten with thise Romains, if he may; |
| Took eek his reed, and bothe, upon a day, | |
| His wyf and he, and al his ost, forth wente | |
| To shippe anoon, no lenger they ne stente; | |
| And in the see hit happed hem to mete -- | |
| Up goth the trompe -- and for to shoute and shete, | |
| And peynen hem to sette on with the sonne. | |
| With grisly soun out goth the grete gonne, | |
| And heterly they hurtlen al at ones, | |
| And fro the top doun cometh the grete stones. | |
| 640 | In goth the grapnel so ful of crokes |
| Among the ropes, and the shering-hokes. | |
| In with the polax presseth he and he; | |
| Behind the mast beginneth he to flee, | |
| And out agayn, and dryveth him over-borde; | |
| He stingeth him upon his speres orde; | |
| He rent the sail with hokes lyke a sythe; | |
| He bringeth the cuppe, and biddeth hem be blythe; | |
| He poureth pesen upon the hacches slider; | |
| With pottes ful of lym they goon to-gider; | |
| 650 | And thus the longe day in fight they spende |
| Til, at the laste, as every thing hath ende, | |
| Anthony is shent, and put him to the flighte, | |
| And al his folk to-go, that best go mighte. | |
| Fleeth eek the queen, with al her purpre sail, | |
| For strokes, which that wente as thikke as hail; | |
| No wonder was, she mighte hit nat endure. | |
| And what that Anthony saw that aventure, | |
| 'Allas!' quod he, 'the day that I was born! | |
| My worshipe in this day thus have I lorn!' | |
| 660 | And for dispeyr out of his witte he sterte, |
| And roof him-self anoon through-out the herte | |
| Er that he ferther wente out of the place. | |
| His wyf, that coude of Cesar have no grace, | |
| To Egipte is fled, for drede and for distresse; | |
| But herkneth, ye that speke of kindenesse. | |
| Ye men, that falsly sweren many an ooth | |
| That ye wol dye, if that your love be wrooth, | |
| Heer may ye seen of women whiche a trouthe! | |
| This woful Cleopatre hath mad swich routhe | |
| 670 | That ther nis tonge noon that may hit telle. |
| But on the morwe she wol no lenger dwelle, | |
| But made hir subtil werkmen make a shryne | |
| Of alle the rubies and the stones fyne | |
| In al Egipte that she coude espye; | |
| And putte ful the shryne of spycerye, | |
| And leet the cors embaume; and forth she fette | |
| This dede cors, and in the shryne hit shette. | |
| And next the shryne a pit than doth she grave; | |
| And alle the serpents that she mighte have, | |
| 680 | She putte hem in that grave, and thus she seyde: |
| 'Now, love, to whom my sorweful herte obeyde | |
| So ferforthly that, fro that blisful houre | |
| That I yow swor to been al frely youre, | |
| I mene yow, Antonius my knight! | |
| That never waking, in the day or night, | |
| Ye nere out of myn hertes remembraunce | |
| For wele or wo, for carole or for daunce; | |
| And in my-self this covenant made I tho, | |
| That, right swich as ye felten, wele or wo, | |
| 690 | As ferforth as hit in my power lay, |
| Unreprovable unto my wyfhood ay, | |
| The same wolde I felen, lyf or deeth. | |
| And thilke covenant, whyl me lasteth breeth, | |
| I wol fulfille, and that shal wel be sene; | |
| Was never unto hir love a trewer quene.' | |
| And with that word, naked, with ful good herte, | |
| Among the serpents in the pit she sterte, | |
| And ther she chees to han hir buryinge. | |
| Anoon the neddres gonne hir for to stinge, | |
| 700 | And she hir deeth receyveth, with good chere, |
| For love of Antony, that was hir so dere: -- | |
| And this is storial sooth, hit is no fable. | |
| Now, er I finde a man thus trewe and stable, | |
| And wol for love his deeth so freely take, | |
| I pray god lat our hedes never ake! | |
