Cleo’s Wish Slot

Graphics

Cleo has more than a hint of the cartoonish sprite about her, accompanying our gameplay by the side of our reels at all times.

When we score a winning payline, our host twirls a baton and flashes a grin as wide as the mouth of the Nile. Speaking of which, the Nile, Sphinx and Pyramids - what else? - make up the vista behind the reel case, glinting in the golden sunlight.

Cleo is Wild - it is a Queen’s prerogative - and substitutes for all other game symbols except Pyramid Bonus Scatters.

A Scarab, Ankh and Bracelet make up the rest of our high-payers, while standard but colourful 9s through Aces bring up the rear.

Gameplay

Cleo is not only our Queen, but also our guarantor of winnings and Wild times.

On any spin, Cleo can activate the Sands of Fortune bonus, transforming all high-paying symbols into the same symbol for a single spin. Her Wish Upon A Wild and Guaranteed Wild Reels also deliver random wins at any time on any spin.

But it is the dedicated Free Games feature that brings either the Cleo’s Parade Free Games or Eternal Riches Free Games that really delivers the treasure that we seek from this Egyptian adventure.

With either stacks of Cleo Wilds parading their way across the reels - potentially without end - or 5-10 free games with Super Spins and Super Spin Win Multiplier as the end game, Cleo’s Wish provides plenty of Cleo booty for any gold-mining slots fan.

Verdict

With trademark cartoonish graphics, tinkling jazzy notes and consummate 3D sprite host, NextGen’s Cleo’s Wish slot ticks all the right boxes.

The three randomly-triggered bonuses can award decent base game payouts, while the bountiful Free Games feature is sure to prove as much of a talking point in our slots making history as Cleopatra provided in her own.
