Cleopatra: a cabinet game wearing a phone costume

SIDEWAYS ONLY 2.2 s TO PLAYABLE TIGHT BUTTONS FREE DEMO

This is a Vegas floor machine that got a browser wrapper. It shows in every part of the mobile build, starting with the fact that it will not go upright.

The phone check

2.2 s TO PLAYABLE Over the 2.1 s median
Tight buttons TOUCH TARGETS tight in portrait
2 TAPS FROM THE LOBBY Search box to a spinning board

Sideways only, and even then the controls sit close together. The stepper is a millimetre from the button that spends money. The demo pulls about 9 MB before the first tap registers, which on a poor bar is where the 2.2 s goes. Getting money back out is a separate count and we keep it at cashout.

One build, one return figure

Only one configuration of Cleopatra is licensed, at 95.02%, so there is nothing to check and nothing to get wrong. That puts it in the minority: 123 of 306 titles here ship in two or three builds, and nothing on screen tells you which one loaded.

Built for a cabinet

Twenty lines on 5x3, a line selector, a coins per line control and a denomination control, all of which made sense on a machine with physical buttons and none of which is fun on glass. Sideways the strip along the bottom is small and busy. 2.2 seconds to load.

Portrait does not exist and IGT has not added it.

The return figure is the real story

95.02% on the single licensed configuration. That is a full point and a half under what most modern titles here start at, and it is not an accident, it is a land based number that came across with the artwork. Twenty cents a spin, medium volatility, 10,000x on the free spins multiplier.

If you want the same era done better, Da Vinci Diamonds at least renders upright.
