Rise of Cleopatra ties its feature ladder to Scarab Wilds on reels one, three and five. Each collected scarab fills a progression track, unlocking Remove Suits, Random Wilds, a multiplier and finally Mega Wilds at cumulative thresholds of six, twelve, eighteen and twenty-four. Unlocking a feature does not mean it fires immediately: it starts on the following spin and can return randomly later at the same stake. The distinction between collecting progress and activating unlocked powers is the key to reading this game.

Four powers with different jobs
The base game uses five reels, four rows and 20 paylines. Scarab Wilds substitute for paying symbols while also contributing to the feature jars. They can appear on reels one, three or five on spins without a feature, and the feature track advances through the four stated thresholds. Remove Suits clears all card-suit symbols for that spin. Random Wilds adds a random number of Cleopatra Wilds to the reels. Mega Wilds places one or more Cleopatra Wild Mega symbols, sized from 2×2 to 3×3. Because unlocked features may trigger again on future spins, progress is not a one-use bonus; it establishes a set of powers available at the same stake.
The multiplier feature has the most specific persistence rule. It reveals x2, x3, x4, x5, x7 or x10. If that spin has no win, the multiplier remains active until a win occurs. If another multiplier feature triggers first, the newly revealed value stacks with the active one. A multiplier already active when Free Spins begin applies to the first bonus win; if still active when Free Spins finish, it carries forward to the next win afterward. This connects otherwise separate rounds and means a bonus can begin with a stored multiplier or end without consuming it. The exact arithmetic for stacked multipliers is not further described, so the review does not assume whether they add or multiply together.
Free Spins preserve the collection state
Three, four or five scatters award eight, ten or twelve Free Spins; during the bonus, the same counts add four, five or six. Unlocked features can trigger, and jar progress carries into and out of the round, so partial collection survives the mode change.
Scatters start or extend Free Spins; Scarab Wilds collect toward unlocks and substitute on paylines. Retriggers add spins but do not themselves fill jars, and scarabs are absent on spins with a feature. Multiple unlocked features may coincide. Feature Buy costs 15x stake for any feature or 100x for Free Spins; each purchase temporarily unlocks all features, then restores the prior state.
RTP, limits and access
The exact Red Tiger detail page lists 95.69% RTP, numeric volatility 15.11, a maximum payout of 5,363x and release date 3 July 2025. The Evolution catalogue shows 95.69% and 92.72% without mapping each RTP to a configuration. The exact game page’s 95.69% is therefore a documented reference, but it cannot establish which local version the second catalogue figure represents; check the in-game paytable for the chosen configuration. The catalogue labels volatility high, while the detail page provides a numeric index only. The 20-line layout and feature purchase prices are specified, but feature trigger probabilities are not.
Progress carries between base play and Free Spins, but overlapping features have no published odds. Feature Buy unlocks access temporarily; it does not make the result predictable.
Strengths and weak points
Strengths
Collection progress survives Free Spins, and the multiplier can remain pending across both entry and exit, connecting the feature ladder to the bonus in concrete ways.
Weaknesses
Multiple persistent effects can overlap without published probabilities or fully specified multiplier arithmetic, while the catalogue’s two RTP figures lack version labels.
Our Editor’s View
Rise of Cleopatra connects collection progress, Free Spins and a multiplier that can remain pending across the bonus boundary. Scarabs fill the four-step ladder, while scatters grant or extend spins; unlocked features may operate during either mode. This continuity rewards tracking several states, but the rules give no feature probabilities or stacked-multiplier arithmetic. Players who prefer a single trigger and fixed bonus sequence may find the overlap harder to evaluate. Feature Buy prices are stated, while the local paytable should resolve which RTP configuration applies.
