Cleo's Charms - Review, Demo Play, Payout, Free Spins & Bonuses

Introduction

Even if you haven’t yet played the iconic Cleopatra demo slot, you’ll almost certainly have heard of it. It’s a game that has been attracting slots fans in land-based casinos and online ones for a number of years now. And it’s brought levels of success to IGT that other slots developers are desperate to replicate. A browse through the Ancient Egypt section of our site will demonstrate the number of games related to this theme, but now Whoohoo are hoping that they can put a whole new spin - quite literally - on the subject of the greatest Queen that Egypt has ever known.

Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack

Draped in curve-flattering silks and artfully lit from behind to showcase her stunning figure, Cleo demonstrates some of her most obvious charms as the game launches in your browser. She then reclines to the left of the reels, where she keeps an eye on proceedings, as jewelled rings and brooches from her collection trigger winning payouts. There’s some gentle musical accompaniment to the game, which helps with the overall ambience.

Cleo's Charms RTP & Volatility

Although we know that Cleo’s Charms has an RTP of 95.49%, we don’t have any details about the game’s volatility. It’s certainly not going to be low, so we advise you to explore the game very thoroughly in demo mode. It’s a stress-free way of calculating how far your bankroll could take you if you decide to play the game with real money.

How to Play Cleo’s Charms

1. You don’t have a choice about the number of paylines in the game since they’re fixed at 20. All you really need to do is decide how much you’re prepared to pay for every spin of the reels.

2. When you’re ready to start your game, press Spin, which is just to the right of the reels. For longer gaming sessions at the same stake, select Autoplay from above Spin. This gives you options for 10, 25, 50, 100 or infinite automatic spins; just press Autoplay again to deactivate the feature.

3. Take some time to study the game’s rules and paytable, which you can access through the menu button. This also lets you adjust the speed at which the reels spin, as well as the sound controls.

Bet Sizes & Paytable Wins

Spin the reels of Cleo’s Charms from 0.20 to 200.00. That gives most players the chance to enjoy the game, although penny slots fans are going to be disappointed. The aim of the game is to line up three, four or five matching symbols along one or more of the 20 paylines. The only symbol that operates outside this mechanic is the Free Spins Scatter symbol, which can appear in any positions on the reels. Some of the symbols in Cleo’s Charms pay out cash prizes for landing just two matching symbols on a payline.

Free Spins Scatter = 2x, 5x, 20x, 100x

9 = 2x, 5x, 20x, 100x

10 = 5x, 20x, 100x

J = 5x, 20x, 100x

Q = 5x, 20x, 100x

K = 5x, 50x, 150x

A = 5x, 50x, 150x

Snake ring = 10x, 75x, 200x

Emerald ring = 10x, 75x, 200x

Falcon ring = 20x, 100x, 400x

Scarab beetle = 2x, 25x, 100x, 500x

Eye of Horus = 2x, 25x, 100x, 500x

Cleo Wild = 10x, 200x, 2,000x, 10,000x

Cleo’s Charms Bonus Features & Free Spins

We appreciate that not all slots gamers have the same tastes, but one of the first things we look for in a new game is a free spins round. Luckily for us, Whoohoo Games pay attention to these sorts of details and made sure to include one. The key to triggering the bonus is to land three or more of the Scatter symbols - they helpfully have Free Spins emblazoned across them, so they’re pretty hard to miss.

You’ll be awarded 15 Free Spins, as well as a cash prize. More Free Spins Scatters keep appearing throughout the bonus round, so it’s possible to keep retriggering more Free Spins - up to 180 of them from one paid-for spin. As if that weren’t exciting enough, all wins during the bonus are tripled too!

There’s an optional Gamble feature that follows every win. And unusually for an online slot, you can still choose to Gamble during Autoplay, although you’ll have to be quick! A counter tells you how many seconds you have to click on Gamble or miss your opportunity.

Unlike most Gamble games, which rely on the player guessing the colour of a playing card, this game also involves the main character. Cleo herself appears in front of you holding out two lotus blossoms, one in each hand, for you to make your choice. You could win a Multiplier, or you could lose your win altogether. You can choose to keep on gambling each win, up to five times in succession.

Overall Review

We’ve always found Whoohoo Games demo slots great fun to play, and now we can add Cleo’s Charms to that list. Superb graphics and a novel approach to the subject make this a game well worth playing. Just be careful about that volatility; with no official details yet available, we’d be inclined to put it on the high side. Play the game for free here on our site, and see what you think.
