Cleopatra's Pyramid Slots is a mediocre take on a worn out theme that pays well but doesn’t manage to do anything else all that right. It doesn’t look all that great, the colors are a bit too much, and the graphics all seem relatively phoned in. We didn’t thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with it, mostly wishing that they’d refined everything a lot more because it clearly has potential.
If you’ve ever seen a sports team come really close to winning a game but ultimately fail, that’s what it felt like to play Cleopatra's Pyramid Slots. It’s not bad, but never manages to be great. It’s still worth your time for the good payouts, but don’t expect to be wowed by her beauty, which was the entire reason she’s famous. This game? Not so much.
Premise
The premise of Cleopatra's Pyramid Slots is the ancient beauty that caused people to go to war over the mere sight of her lips. The slot wouldn’t have you know that, however, instead being ‘vaguely Egyptian things’ the game. That’s fine, if it had come together a little better. It unfortunately didn’t, however, which is our main gripe with the game despite having all the elements of greatness here if they had chosen to tap them.
Presentation
Graphics in Cleopatra's Pyramid Slots are bland and unrefined. Everything is crisp, clear, colorful, and compelling to look at, which makes your time spent playing all the easier because of how easy they are on the eyes. The edges and colors don’t go together very well, however, and a lot of illustrations look like a wonky after thought. It was like it was drawn by someone that kinda knows how to use Photoshop, but not really, and doesn’t have a lot of experience doing figure renderings.
It isn’t entirely bad, and the UI it must be said is decent aside from the text areas, but it’s not the prettiest slot. Why pick one of the prettiest women of all time in that case?
Mechanics
Gameplay in Cleopatra's Pyramid Slots is standard. At 5 reels and 20 pay lines, it does not break the mold there, chosing instead to keep things classy in ways we can respect.
Betting here ranges from a penny to $5, making this an accessible slot that anyone can jump into in hopes of winning a lot of money without worrying about necessarily breaking the bank in the process. Max bets cap out at $200, which tends to be how we rolled when we played it a bunch for our review.

* People more used to normal video games that are looking to get their feet wet in the world of online slots
Who is the Game NOT For?
Although we enjoy this slot, it is not for everybody. In particular, it may not be your cup of tea if this describes you in any fashion:
* Averse to winning money online
* Looking for something truly innovative in the genre
* You find the theme in any way offputting
Is it Buggy?
In the time we spent playing this game, we did not encounter any bugs, problems, or errors. The same cannot be said for all slots of this genre, so we commend the developers for a job well done on that. We also encountered no issues in processing winnings or payments, and everything ran very smooth just like you would expect across many varied devices in a variety of ecosystems and operating systems.
Conclusion
Cleopatra's Pyramid Slots is what happens when you mostly fail on a lot of what you set out to do but still manage to have good pay outs and are forgiven. Nothing about it really wows you or works all that well, but it’s still a competent slot that will fill your bank account. That’s the only thing this game really has going for it, which is thankfully a big one in the slot world.
If you can let the rest go and have money to let ride, we think Cleopatra's Pyramid Slots is for you. If not, keep looking. It’s not hard to find a better put together game on the market. One day, there will be more slots than people!
