Your aim in Slingo Cleopatra is simple. You must score as many Slingos as you can in the base game to earn spins on the Cleopatra slot in the bonus round.
How do you earn Slingos? Just like this …
The game starts with 10 spins of the 5 reel, 1 row slot that sits beneath your 5×5 Slingo card. You can see that in the screen shot below. Where numbers that appear on the reel after each spin match a number on the card, so that number is crossed off.
When 5 numbers in a line horizontally, vertically or diagonally are all crossed off, then you have scored a Slingo. Each Slingo that you score moves you one place up the ladder on the left of the game screen.
Special symbols help you along the way …
There are Wilds. When these land you can choose to cross off any number that appears in the column directly above on the Slingo card. Make sure you choose a number that gives you the best chance of completing a Slingo line.
There are also Super Wilds that allow you to cross off ANY number on the grid. These are more powerful than the standard Wilds as they give you more options. Again, choose numbers that help you complete Slingo lines.
Extra Spins symbols get you another spin of the reel and more chances to complete Slingos.
The Scatter symbol gets you more spins on the Slingo reel but without any feature symbols in play. You can get up to 180 this way!
There are 11 Rungs on the Slingo Ladder
As with all Slingo games you can complete up to 11 Slingos – 5 horizontal, 5 vertical and 1 diagonal. Each one moves you one place up the Slingo ladder on the right of the screen with rewards as follows:
- 1 Slingo – Cash prize
- 2 Slingos – Cash prize
- 3 Slingos – 1 spin on Cleopatra slot
- 4 Slingos – 2 spins on Cleopatra slot
- 5 Slingos – 4 spins on Cleopatra slot
- 6 Slingos – 5 spins on Cleopatra slot
- 7 Slingos – 7 spins on Cleopatra slot
- 8 Slingos – 8 spins on Cleopatra slot
- 9 Slingos – 9 spins on Cleopatra slot
- 10 Slingos – 15 spins on Cleopatra slot
- 11 Slingos – 39 spins on Cleopatra slot
NOTE: Spins are awarded in a cumulative basis, so if you score 6 Slingos you have 12 spins on Cleopatra slot.
You can also pay for more spins to earn more Slingos …
At the end of your 10 spins you have the option to either collect your cash prize or free spins, OR … keep going and earn more Slingos. The size of the bet here is now dependent on how close you are to completing lines. The closer you are, the higher the cost of the bet, but the greater the potential rewards as you get higher up the ladder.
Spins played on Cleopatra can win you up to 10,000x
Once you have collected your spins the iconic Cleopatra slot opens up and its game on! You can just sit back and watch here as the spins play out.
It’s possible to land 15 more if you hit 3 scatters on one spin. There are 20 paylines in the game and the top prize is 10,000x for a 5 Cleopatra icons on one line.
Can You Use a Strategy To Win on Slingo Cleopatra?
Slingo Cleopatra is a game of chance so there is nothing you can do to affect the outcome of each spin. However, here are few tips to help you enjoy the game more.
- When you land a wild or super wild, make sure you pick numbers on your card that give the best chance of completing a Slingo. Look for lines that are nearly complete and pick them off like you would in noughts and crosses!
- Be careful about buying more spins when your initial 10 run out. It is more expensive than your original stake and won’t always pay off. Weigh up the chances of completing more Slingos before you do.
- Pick a stake level that you are comfortable with and fits your budget. The stakes start at 10p so you don’t need to bet big to enjoy Slingo Cleopatra.
