A Night With Cleo Slot
Put together a games developer and the only famous female leader of the Ancient World… and whaddyaknow? Games developers are solely interested in releasing slots where the aim is to get her to take her clothes off. A Night With Cleo is many things, but it certainly ain’t subtle. It’d be fair to say that Woohoo Games aren’t going to win any awards for historical accuracy with this unashamed effort.
A Night With Cleo is, even by the standards of Egyptian slots, a brash game that will repel some players and strangely attract others. If you can get behind the slutty concept, there’s money to be made – and skin to be ogled – as you work your way closer to the final denouement that sees the Egyptian queen slipping off her garments. Oh la la.
One Night in Egypt
A Night With Cleo is a 20-payline slot whose protagonist is a silicon enhanced seductress who’s positively bursting out of her top. A predictable backdrop of pyramids sets the scene and lets you know, lest there were any doubt, that you’re in Egypt. The sound effects and audio are subtle – the only subtle thing about this game in fact – and strangely soothing. In the base game, three or more matching symbols on a payline will trigger a win before a card gamble feature gives you a chance to double your money.
It’s debatable whether you’re playing this feature for the money or for the more alluring prospect of Cleo denuding, with a piece of clothing hitting the deck for every time you call the next card colour correctly. Get five right and you’ll get to see a whole lot more of the Egyptian queen than you could ever have imagined.
Naked Ambition
While Proprietary Games have put plenty of effort into their protagonist, they’ve applied less care to the game symbols which are a pretty uninspiring bunch. Most of them are playing card values, which have been styled to look Egyptian in some way or other. The remaining symbols are various precious treasures including a golden Eye of Horus which is worth 500 for five. There are 15 free spins to be won in this game, achieved by landing three or more scatters in view, and there’s a jackpot to be won which will be triggered randomly.
It’s hard to shake the sensation that Proprietary Games have come up with a concept – what would the Egyptian queen look like naked? – and then hastily cobbled a game together around that notion. As a consequence, the remaining elements of the game feel unrefined, or even rushed. Alluring as it might be for some players to catch a swatch of Cleo in the buff, it’s worth remembering that this is the internet, and there are cheaper and more gratifying ways of seeing some skin if that’s what you’re into.
Plenty of Similar Slots
More often than not, Microgaming are the developer who offer up similar games, and they’ve got a few efforts that can rival this Proprietary Games slot. Gold and Witch Dr are two such examples, each with 20 paylines and 15 free spins to be won just like A Night With Cleo. Vegas Dreams and Nutty Squirrel are two other candidates from Micrograming’s eclectic stable of slots.
For something a little different, you could try IGT’s Vegas, Baby, which has 20 paylines and 15 free spins to be won. A more suitable IGT option might be Mega Jackpots Cleopatra. It’s also got 20 paylines and 15 free spins with an RTP of 90% to 92.5%. Another Egyptian slot that plays in a similar fashion to A Night With Cleo is Ramses II by Novomatic.
Seedy Thrill
By all means play A Night With Cleo, but don’t do so in the hope of gaining instant gratification from seeing Cleopatra in her birthday suit, for more often than not you’ll lose your money on the gamble feature before you get there. Despite its seediness, there is a strange thrill to be derived from playing A Night With Cleo, even if it’s not the sort that will leave you feeling good about yourself. Poor old Cleopatra. If only she could see herself how the world sees her today.
