Eye of Cleopatra from Pragmatic Play
Pragmatic Play releases yet another video slot machine dedicated to Ancient Egypt, one of the greatest civilizations in human history, and its most famous historic figure, Queen Cleopatra. Even though this studio already has plenty of Egypt-themed slots under its belt, Eye of Cleopatra is certainly one of its finest works as it combines polished visuals with interesting features and sweet payouts.
Eye of Cleopatra with 20 paylines has the standard betting range of 0.2 mBTC - 100 mBTC, suitable for the overwhelming majority of slot players. The slot’s only flaw lies in the RTP of 95.5% which is slightly below the industry standard. No complaints about Cleopatra’s generosity as the Queen is willing to share her wealth with you in the amount of 400,000 mBTC, the largest payout available in this game. The slot takes its name from the special feature where lights are forming patterns around the eye symbol - they determine how many Free Spins the player is being awarded.
Gems Galore from Matrix iGaming
Next up is another very well-made slot with amazing animations and a nice set of features. Matrix iGaming did a splendid job of creating the ambiance of a gem mine that is supervised by a buff miner with a rich mustache who loves setting up explosives and then pressing down the handle of a detonator box.
Gems Galore sees precious stones being poured generously over the 7x7 field where matching symbols form the patterns which then get blown up by the grinning miner, and the symbols that fall down and fill the void form new combos, which is exactly how cascading mechanics works. The narrow betting range of 0.1 mBTC - 20 mBTC suggests that Gems Galore is more suitable for recreational playing. The largest multiplier of 453 times the total stake confirms that this slot won’t make you stupendously rich but you will certainly have a lot of fun playing it, especially after discovering its special mini-game called the Mining Feature, triggered by 3 or more Bonus symbols. You will be taken to the mine railroad with five stops. At each stop, you’d get to choose between five stones which are then blown up by the miner to reveal the prizes.
Mayan Riches from Mascot Gaming
Our final stop is in the depths of the Amazon jungle, a place that preserves the heritage of another ancient civilization, the Maya. Slots from Mascot Gaming don’t appear in our selection that often, but this one is worthy of attention. It also employs cascade mechanics which brings the number of paylines - called here Blockways - to 46656, which is quite remarkable.
Mayan Riches also boasts an unusual layout of 6x6 that’s being filled with vividly colored symbols that depict Mayan drawings and intimidating masks. The game has a balanced betting range of 0.25 mBTC - 50 mBTC that suits all styles of wagering. Apart from the usual Wilds and Scatters, Mayan Riches got a special feature called Rockfall that sees cascading symbols producing multipliers of up to 15x the total stake.
Our verdict
Eye of Cleopatra and Gems Galore both have very solid visuals, though the former offers better payouts. An enormous number of betways is the main point of attraction of Mayan Riches. All slots aren’t overloaded with special features which makes gameplay pleasant and simple.
