Slingo Cleopatra

About Slingo Cleopatra

Slingo Cleopatra is an Ancient Egypt-themed Slingo game from Gaming Realms, built in partnership with IGT and based on the classic IGT Cleopatra slot. It is not a traditional slot. Slingo combines bingo with slot mechanics, using a 5x5 number grid above a single spinning reel that reveals numbers to mark off the grid. When players reach Slingo 3 on the prize ladder, they unlock access to the IGT Cleopatra slot feature game with its 5-reel, 3-row layout and 20 paylines.

The game has an RTP of 94.07%, medium volatility, and a maximum win of 8,650x your bet. The bonus structure runs across the Slingo prize ladder, the IGT Cleopatra slot feature with its scatter pays and bonus spins, and a Cleopatra Bonus that triggers on top of the standard scatter pay during the slot feature.

How to Play Slingo Cleopatra

The game starts on a 5x5 number grid, with a single spinning reel below it that displays five numbers on each spin. Each game starts with 10 base spins. When numbers on the reel match numbers on the grid, those grid positions are marked off. Completing a row, column, or diagonal of five marked numbers creates a Slingo.

Stakes at Midnite range from £0.30 up to £2 per spin. The prize ladder runs 11 steps. Each Slingo achieved moves the player up the ladder, awarding the prizes for every level passed. Players collect every prize on the ladder, not just the level they end on. Reaching Slingo 3 unlocks the IGT Cleopatra slot feature game, which plays out using all bonus spins accumulated during the Slingo phase.

If the spin counter runs out before reaching Slingo 3, the game ends and the grid resets. Players can also use Coins to purchase additional spins during a game.

Slingo Cleopatra Features

The bonus structure runs across both the Slingo phase and the IGT Cleopatra slot feature, with the prize ladder linking the two.

• Wild Symbol (Slingo Phase): Allows the player to eliminate one number in the column the wild appears beneath on the spinning reel.
• Super Wild (Slingo Phase): Allows the player to eliminate any number on the entire grid.
• Extra Spin Symbol: Awards an additional spin to the running total during the Slingo phase.
• Scatter Symbols (Slingo Phase): Add free spins to the IGT Cleopatra slot feature, up to a maximum of 180 free spins in total.
• Devil/Coin Symbols: Devils can appear on the spinning reel and slow the player's progress; players can buy them off using coins.
• Prize Ladder: An 11-step ladder that runs alongside the Slingo grid. Each Slingo achieved moves the player up the ladder. Players collect every prize on or below their final level.
• IGT Cleopatra Slot Feature: Triggered by reaching Slingo 3 on the prize ladder. Plays out using all accumulated bonus spins in the classic IGT Cleopatra 5x3 slot with 20 paylines.
• Cleopatra Bonus: During the slot feature, landing 3 to 5 sphinx scatters triggers the Cleopatra Bonus, which awards a scatter pay (2x to 100x the bet depending on the count) plus 15 additional free spins. During these bonus spins, all wins are tripled, except when 5 Cleopatra symbols land on a payline.
• Slot Feature Symbols: Lower-paying symbols are 9 through Ace card ranks paying 2x to 125x the bet for combinations. Higher-paying symbols include the Eye of Horus, the crook and flail, a golden tablet, flowers, and scarabs, paying 2x to 750x the bet.
• Cleopatra Symbol: The top-paying symbol in the slot feature. Five Cleopatras on a payline award the highest line wins, and Cleopatra wins are not multiplied by the 3x bonus during the Cleopatra Bonus.

Slingo Cleopatra Theme and Symbols

The setting is a stylised Ancient Egyptian aesthetic, with the Slingo grid framed by golden hieroglyphs, pyramids, and the Sphinx visible in the background. The visual style mixes Gaming Realms' clean Slingo presentation with thematic flourishes pulled from IGT's original Cleopatra slot (atmospheric music, golden accents around the grid), and Cleopatra herself appearing as the centrepiece of the slot feature. When the slot feature triggers, the visuals transition into the classic IGT Cleopatra layout with its instantly recognisable symbols and sound effects.

In the Slingo phase, the spinning reel shows numbers from 1 to 75 (in column ranges, similar to bingo) along with special symbols. The Wild appears as a Joker-style symbol that eliminates one number in its column, the Super Wild appears as a more elaborate Joker that can eliminate any number on the grid, Extra Spin symbols add to the spin counter, and Scatters add bonus spins to the slot feature.

In the IGT Cleopatra slot feature, the symbol set includes the classic 9 through Ace card ranks at the lower end and Egyptian-themed pieces like the Eye of Horus, the crook and flail, a golden tablet, flowers, and scarabs at the upper end, with Cleopatra herself as the top-paying symbol.
