Pragmatic Play · 2022
Cleocatra is a high volatility video slot from Pragmatic Play with an Egyptian theme. This page explains how it pays and how its bonus rounds run.
The demo is free. Real money play needs an account and is for players 18+ only.
Each spin fills five reels with four rows of symbols. The Egyptian theme brings cat symbols, an ankh, a crook and flail, and the A, K and Q cards. Wins pay along 40 fixed paylines, left to right. A win needs at least 3 matching symbols on a line. WILD symbols can land on reels 2 to 5 with a x2 or x3 multiplier, but in the base game they do not stick.
A full vertical stack of one cat symbol on reel 1 locks, with any WILD symbols, while the other reels respin until a win. The respin runs in the base game. Three, four or five scatters start 8, 12 or 16 free spins. In free spins, WILD symbols on reels 2 to 5 stick with a fixed multiplier, and their multipliers add up.

Five steps to play
Read this before your first spin, after you pick a bet and before the reels run.
Set a bet from A$0.20 up to A$100 before each round. All 40 fixed paylines stay active at whatever bet you choose.
Wins run left to right from reel one across the 5x4 grid. Three matching symbols on a payline pay, and a WILD on reels 2 to 5 can complete one.
A full vertical cat stack on reel 1 locks while the rest respin for a win. WILDs on reels 2 to 5 carry x2 or x3 multipliers but do not stay.
Land 3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols and the round awards 8, 12 or 16 free spins. Each WILD on reels 2 to 5 then sticks with a fixed multiplier.
Set a session budget before the first spin and stop when it runs out. Volatility is high, so results swing hard and sessions can end without warning.

After this, you will have seen each mode on screen before you spin.
Stack lands on reel one
It settles how each mode starts, what happens inside it, and what you get from it.
The respin starts in the base game when a full vertical stack of one cat symbol type lands on reel 1. That stack locks, together with any WILDs it holds, while reels 2 to 5 keep respinning until a winning combination forms. It only runs in the base game.
Base game spinLocked stack, respins
3, 4 or 5 SCATTER symbols award 8, 12 or 16 free spins. A WILD landing on reels 2 to 5 becomes sticky for the round, and its multiplier stays fixed. Several sticky WILD multipliers add together. A full reel-1 cat stack retriggers the round, adding 2 spins.
Scatters landedFree spins
The base game uses 5 reels x 4 rows with 40 fixed paylines. Wins pay left to right, starting from the leftmost reel. A WILD can appear on reels 2 to 5 with an x2 or x3 multiplier, but it is not sticky.

The Free Spins buy costs 100 times the total bet, so at the A$5 top bet it is A$500.

Each spin on the reels returns part of the stake over time. Return to player is that share, measured per A$100 staked, and the version running here is listed in the game rules.

Each spin on the Cleocatra reels starts a fresh draw, and nobody can tell in advance when the free spins or the stacked cats respin will appear. How often the bonus round comes is not known beforehand. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP is.
The reels settle on a result after each spin, and the payout behind that result depends on the RTP version in use. Which RTP version Playamo runs is shown only in the game rules, so check there before you play.
A spin can line up the top combination on the five reels, yet the maximum win is a ceiling reached very rarely. It is a multiple of the bet, so a larger stake raises the cash amount on that ceiling. Plan each session around your budget, not around that top figure.
Cleocatra explained
This block settles whether the demo costs anything and what the real game asks of you.
Each demo spin lands on the same 5x4 grid but moves no money and pays nothing. The real game needs a Playamo account and the legal age of 18+.
PlaySitting down to play
Most players fear surprise costs, so these answers show bets, volatility and buy prices upfront.
Cleocatra accepts bets from A$0.20 up to A$100. The paytable uses A$0.50 as its reference bet, and A$5 is the top example bet on this page. Every prize scales with the bet you pick.
On the reels, Cleocatra pays in big, uneven jumps rather than small frequent wins. That is high volatility, and the balance can drop a long way before a large prize lands. The maximum win is 5,000 times the bet.
Landing three, four or five paw medallion Scatters starts Free Spins, which award 8, 12 or 16 spins. During Free Spins, Wilds on reels 2 to 5 become sticky and keep their multiplier for the round. A full reel 1 cat stack adds 2 more spins.
Buying Free Spins sends the reels straight into the bonus round for 100 times the total bet. At the A$5 top example bet, that is A$500. The buy has the same 96.20% RTP as the base game, so the price does not change the return.
The legal age here is 18+. For support, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or self-exclude through BetStop.
Choose the money you can afford to lose before you load Cleocatra, and stop when it is gone.
Set your stopping point before the reels turn, and keep it after a big Cleocatra win too, since a win can tempt a longer session.
Set a deposit limit and a loss limit in your account before you open Cleocatra, so the amounts are fixed before the reels start.
If Cleocatra stops feeling like entertainment, take a break from the game or self-exclude through BetStop.
