Cleocatra on a phone
You can run this one-handed on a bus. 2.6 s to load, portrait holds, tight buttons.
The phone check
Upright, the spin button shrinks and the bet stepper crowds it. A wide thumb hits the wrong one. The demo pulls about 11 MB before the first tap registers, which on a poor bar is where the 2.6 s goes. Getting money back out is a separate count and we keep it at cashout.
This title ships in more than one return build
Pragmatic Play licenses 2 configurations of Cleocatra. The spread from top to bottom is 3.08 points, which is about C$31 in expected cost per C$1,000 staked. Same reels, same features, different maths.
| Configuration | Return | House edge | Cost per C$1,000 vs the top build |
|---|---|---|---|
| Highest build the studio licenses | 96.5% | 3.5% | baseline |
| Lowest build | 93.42% | 6.58% | C$31 |
How to see which one you are on, in three taps
- Open the demo and tap the burger or the ⓘ in the game's own toolbar, not the casino's.
- Scroll the info panel to the bottom. The return figure is printed in the rules footer.
- Compare it to the table above. If it is not the top row, that is the build you are being served.
123 of the 306 titles on this board carry more than one build, so this is worth doing once per game rather than once ever.
Where it sits on the board
That puts it 178 of 306 on our phone score, which weighs orientation first, then how long you wait, then whether the buttons are a sensible size. That is 0.5 s slower than the 2.1 s median, every time you open it.
For context, 52 of the 71 Pragmatic Play games on this board hold portrait and the studio median is 1.9 s.
What the game is
Out in 2022. Pragmatic Play built it as 5x4 with sticky wilds / free spins. Egyptian cat slot on 40 paylines where sticky multiplier wilds accumulate across the free-spins round.
Volatility reads high, so the balance moves in lumps, and fifty spins will mislead you either way. Twenty dollars buys around 100 spins at the C$0.20 floor. Ceiling is 5,000x and it is not going to happen to you.
