Heart of Cleopatra

Pragmatic Play sends players into a golden, brazier-lit chamber for Heart of Cleopatra, pairing its familiar Ancient Egypt setting with a marked-spot mechanic the studio already proved out in Sugar Rush — reworked here so the multipliers attach to random cash values rather than doubling the symbols sitting beneath them.

The grid is unusually large at 7x7, and it pays as a cluster slot: matching symbols connected horizontally or vertically anywhere on the board form a win once enough of them link up. Golden bird statues and hieroglyph-covered walls surround the reels, with coins scattered across the floor. Seven regular symbols make up the paytable, among them winged ankhs, lotus flowers, a scarab, a jackal, a cat, a bird and the Eye of Horus, while a Cleopatra wild substitutes for everything except the scatter. A cluster of five pays 0.2x to 1x the stake, climbing to 20x-150x for a group of fifteen or more.

Once a winning cluster clears from the board, the symbols above drop down to fill the gap, and that chain keeps running as long as fresh wins keep forming. The signature Money Spots feature only fires when a wild takes part in an exploding cluster: a handful of positions inside that cluster get marked, starting at a x1 or x2 multiplier depending on where the wild sat, and every further cluster that explodes over a marked spot doubles its value, up to a cap of x1,024. Once the tumbling finally stops, each marked spot converts into a cash prize worth 0.1x to 10x the stake, multiplied by whatever value it built up — though in the base game those marks clear before the next spin begins.

Free spins run on the same marked-spot logic but let the multipliers persist for the whole round instead of resetting. Scatter counts from three up to seven unlock a rising scale of spins, starting at 10 for the minimum trigger and topping out at 30 once all seven land, and because Money Spots carry over between spins here, a well-timed sequence can push several positions to very high multiplier values before the feature closes out. Anyone who doesn't want to rely on a natural trigger can buy straight into the round for 100x the stake.

Pragmatic Play lists Heart of Cleopatra as high volatility, with a default RTP of 96.48% at the top stake of $/€240, rising slightly to 96.5% when the free spins are purchased; lower-return configurations also exist for some markets. Hit frequency runs at roughly one win in three spins, and the maximum win caps out at 10,000x the stake — a ceiling built almost entirely around how far the Money Spots multiplier can climb before the tumbling runs out.
