Cleopatra The Golden Scarab, developed by GMW, brings a fresh take on the beloved Egyptian theme by combining traditional symbolism with an innovative Hold & Spin mechanic and dual jackpot system.
The game embraces Egyptian iconography with a rich purple backdrop adorned with golden frames. The symbol set includes the mighty Cleopatra herself serving as the Wild, alongside traditional Egyptian elements like the Ankh (offering up to 2,500 credits), graceful winged symbols (paying up to 5,000 credits), and the mysterious lotus flower (awarding up to 1,250 credits). The paytable rounds out with colorful card symbols ranging from 9 to A, styled with an Egyptian flair.
This distinctive mechanic triggers when special scarab symbols appear on reels 2 and 4 simultaneously. During this feature, the triggering scarabs expand to cover all positions on their respective reels until six scarab symbols are visible. These scarabs transform into golden coins during the feature, with each coin appearance awarding prizes up to 10 times the total bet. Players receive three respins, with each new scarab landing resetting the count back to three.
The Golden Scarab Feature adds another layer of excitement, awarding six rounds where players can collect between 0-6 special symbols per round. Each collected symbol reveals a prize, and gathering all six unlocks a center special prize. These prizes can reach up to 20 times the total bet, making this feature particularly rewarding.
Landing three pyramid scatter symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4 awards 10 free games, played on special reels. These free spins can be retriggered, and the Hold & Spin feature remains active during this bonus round. Additionally, players have a chance to win one of two jackpot levels during the Hold & Spin feature, with higher bets increasing the winning chances.
GMW’s Cleopatra The Golden Scarab unfolds against a breathtaking backdrop of an Egyptian sunset, where deep purples blend seamlessly into fiery crimsons across the desert horizon. The game’s visual presentation masterfully captures the transitional moment between day and night, with silhouettes of palm trees visible against the dramatic skyline. This atmospheric setting creates a perfect stage for the gleaming 5-reel layout, elegantly framed in ornate golden borders adorned with traditional Egyptian wing motifs.
The game’s premium symbols shine with meticulous attention to detail, each rendered in vibrant metallic finishes. The golden winged scarab emerges as a central motif, while the Ankh symbol radiates with sacred energy through its intricate engravings. Lotus flowers bloom with luminescent purple centers, surrounded by golden petals that catch the light. Even the playing card symbols (9, 10, J, Q, K, A) have been thoughtfully styled with Egyptian-inspired flourishes in bright, jewel-tone colors that pop against the deep purple reel backdrop.
