Reliquary of Ra Impact of Cleopatra Review

The legendary Book of Ra slot has spawned numerous makeovers since it hit the market, and the Reliquary of Ra Impact of Cleopatra slot by Barbara Bang is yet another title to complement the niche. It's already the fourth installment in the series, launched back in 2021 with the original Reliquary of Ra slot. Then a 6-reel version and a MegaX edition followed, and now the developers add Cleopatra to the action. The highlight here is the expanded symbols feature that is available at any stage, and those can lead to payouts of over 1,000x the stake.

The actions of the game take place in Egypt, a place we've been to so many times before, at least in the slots world. It's really hard to surprise players when it comes to the Egyptian theme, so don't expect anything new from Reliquary of Ra Impact of Cleopatra. The gold-covered 5x3 reels producing 20 winlines are set in a backdrop of an Egyptian temple, and to the left is standing the gorgeous Cleopatra. We should say that the design team did a great job and the game looks pretty nice with high-end visuals and smooth animations.

Playable on any device, the Reliquary of Ra Impact of Cleopatra slot comes with a betting range of €0.4 to €480 per spin, which should appeal to both high-rollers and less risky players. The volatility is in the medium-high range, rated 7 out of 10 by the developer, and the RTP clocks in at 96.22%, which is slightly above average. Thus, wins should occur fairly often, and according to the hit rate of 34.37%, each third spin will theoretically be a winning one. As for the wins, the max win value is rather disappointing.

The paytable is made up of a bunch of familiar symbols, namely the A-J card royals on the lower side and four character symbols that are the premiums. Those include in ascending order Sebek, Horus, Anubis, and Cleopatra, which pay from two-of-a-kind and more. The low symbols, in turn, pay when 3 or more symbols appear adjacently on the reels, and 5-of-a-kind wins are worth from 2.5x to 3.75x the bet. Meanwhile, full-line high symbol combinations award from 15x to 50x your bet. However, Barbara Band decided to omit Wild symbols, so there will be no substitutes during the gameplay.

Reliquary of Ra Impact of Cleopatra Slot Features

While most slots sporting the book mechanics rely heavily on the free spins feature where the expanding symbols kick in, the Reliquary of Ra Impact of Cleopatra slot offers a somewhat different and unique approach, bringing a twist to the genre. Here, the expanding symbols feature is available on any spin during the base game, as every winning combination unlocks the special golden version of the symbol for the next spin.

The special expanding symbol expands to cover the entire reel whenever a winning combination is possible to award a payout across all 20 paylines. More importantly, such symbols don't necessarily have to land adjacently, meaning that symbol combinations pay anywhere in view.

Look out for snake symbols during the base game, which are Scatter symbols. Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatters anywhere on the reels triggers 10, 15, or 20 Free Spins, as well as awards a payout of 2x, 20x, or 200x the stake respectively.

The bonus game operates in a similar way to the base game, but a major difference is that the symbols which turn golden retain the special expanding effect for the remainder of the feature. Finally, it's possible to extend the bonus as retriggers are possible, and landing 3 or more Scatters anywhere on the reels during the feature awards +5 additional free spins.

Review Summary

Reliquary of Ra Impact of Cleopatra definitely brings change to the gameplay we are used to seeing in book slots, and it surely leans towards unmissable for those into the Egyptian thing. Players have seen pretty much everything in the niche, but slot developers somehow manage to come up with more and more new ideas, which is highly appreciated. This time, it's the Barbara Bang studio that delivers a twist, so if you are a fan of the expanding book mechanics, be sure to try Reliquary of Ra Impact of Cleopatra.
