Had a slap on the Cleopatra machine at the club yesterday
Had a couple of slaps on Cleopatra at my local club recently and honestly the free games feel so rare I start doubting myself π
Total noob here, still learning how the features actually work. Is the multipliers in the free spins what makes it worth chasing, or do most sessions just bleed out waiting for it?
Keen to hear how you all go on the IGT cabinet, like, does the feature usually pay for the session or is it mostly a top-up? And does anyone know if the club version plays differently to the online one? Cheers in advance π
Asking dumb bonus questions β that's the job.
darw mate the feature feels rare cos it IS rare on this one, 3 out of 6 volatility so expect dry spells π but when them free games hit with the multipliers it can be huge, had a slap at my club friday arvo and one feature paid for the whole night π€ dont chase it like its due tho, its random every spin π₯π°
Spinning reels dawn to dusk.
Maybe a dumb question but what does 3 out of 6 volatility actually mean for my spins? π€ Does it change how often free games land or just the size of wins? Cheers π

No dumb question at all, mate. 3 out of 6 volatility just means the machine sits in the middle for swings, you'll wait longer between wins than a low-vol game, but the hits tend to be chunkier when they come, and the free games with the multipliers are where those chunky pays hide. On Cleo that usually means a fair stretch of feeding it small or nothing, then one feature turns the session around. I once sat through a dry hour at the RSL and one free games run covered the arvo π ah well, we grind on.
FreoDad mate I feel you but I rate Cleo way above Queen of the Nile tbh π€ had a slap on the club cabinet last Friday and one free games with the multipliers went absolutely mental, whole arvo paid for on the spot π€ 3/6 swings feel mean at the time but that feature hit keeps me coming back every week...
SteveCobber same π₯ that multiplier feature is why Cleo's my all-time favourite pokie. Dry spells hurt but one free games spins it all back π€
FreoDad's got a point, the dry spells on Cleo can chew through a session budget quicker than the volatility rating suggests. I went in last month with A$100 and told myself that's it, win or lose. Burned down to A$40 staring at dead spin after dead spin, nearly walked. Then one free games hit with the multipliers running and it dragged the whole arvo back plus a bit over. Cashed out straight away, didn't give a cent back.
Sam's right though, that feature is where the pays hide, you just need the bankroll and the patience to survive the wait. Half my Cleo sessions end at zero, the other half pay for everything. Cashing out in time is everything with this one π°πΈ
Bankroll discipline wins πΈ
"Whole arvo paid for on the spot" π€‘ sure mate, and the other five Fridays don't count yeah? MaxWinLord at least kept it honest with his A$100. The house always wins π

@BankrollKing yeah but when Cleo fires up it's a different beast mate, that feature with the 3x spins can wipe out five bad Fridays in one go. My Lightning Link loyalty is strong but even I admit a decent Cleo hit sticks in the memory. Show us the cashout tho OP, pics or it didn't happen π€£
The hit is close, I can feel it.
Cleo's all or nothing, that's why I set my bet per spin low and treat the feature as the cashout trigger. Hit it once, take the money, done for the day πΈ
BrekkieNorth1995 has got it right, feature hits, cash out, walk. Otherwise every session ends the same: minus. Got a cashout screenshot from your slap, OP?
Cashout screenshot or it didn't happen.
@Brizzie_Mate agree on the substance, though I'd bet the screenshot never surfaces. Cleo's the classic for this. The 3x feature stories do the marketing for the club, nobody posts the twenty dead sessions at A$40 a pop before it. Pics or it didn't happen, and I'm not holding my breath.

Feature-and-walk works until the feature pays A$12 after you've fed it half an arvo π€‘ OP still hasn't flashed that cashout screenshot, funny that π
Here to argue, not to clap for your profit.
Cleo with the 3x free spins is genuinely one of the great feelings in pokies, don't care what anyone says πβ¨ I mostly stick to Lightning Link but a mate dragged me onto Cleo at the club a few Friday nights back and the retrigger had the whole bank of machines watching lol. Pics or it didn't happen tho OP, cough it up π€£

@DeadSpinRegret fair digs on the A$12 feature, been there and it stings π but a walk limit still saved me worse on Cleo last month, set my A$100 session cap, retrigger landed near the end, banked it and cashed out same arvo. Cashing out in time is everything. And yeah OP, drop the screenshot or we're all calling fiction π°

@Gramps_AllDay that's the way to do it mate, walking away same arvo after banking is the whole trick π
I did something similar on Cleo not long back, set my cap, hit the feature late in the session and noped out the second it landed. Sphinx staring at you for an hour then suddenly it wakes up, classic her.
Still reckon a walk limit is the only "system" that ever works on that machine. Lightning Link's my main squeeze but Cleo's retriggers hit different when she's in the mood π°π° last decent one paid me enough to cover the carton, ah well now I'm chasing that feeling again π₯

Grinder's got a point about the dead sessions, seen plenty of those myself π but word is a few Cleos around town have been in a mood lately. Those who know, know π€«
Those who know, know.
Cleo's a beauty when she pays, no denying it, but Kev's right, I've had Fridays at the club where the Sphinx just stares back at me dead for a whole session π
still love her though, that retrigger buzz keeps me coming back every time π°π₯
One slot, one love π°
That retrigger buzz is real but on a small spin sample it masks how sparse Cleo's base game runs. I keep session caps too, π the maths only works if you actually stop.
Do the EV, then spin.

@InRTPweTrustLoyal spot on, that retrigger buzz has cost me plenty over the years. Cleo at 40c a spin chews through a cap fast when the base is dead. Took my feature win last month and cashed it same arvo, bankroll discipline wins, boring as it sounds π
Cleo's base game is brutal at A$1 a spin, I set a hard cap before I sit down. Hit the feature once last month and walked straight out - no hero spins after.
Funny how everyone's suddenly a disciplined withdrawer when the thread's about Cleo π half of you would've re-spun that feature win straight back, don't lie. Did you even withdraw or just move it to the next pokie? Sure, post the screenshot and I'll believe the walk-away story π
Here to argue, not to clap for your profit.
It makes me nervous reading these comments about walking away, π¬ I guess itβs harder than people make it sound when youβre excited about a feature win. Iβm still really new to this, trying to figure out what good bankroll management looks like on Cleopatra. How do you guys usually decide when itβs time to stop spinning the pokie for the day? π

@CascadeQueen fair challenge, most of it would've gone straight back in, no argument there. But the proof demand cuts both ways. Half the walk-away stories in this thread come with no screenshot and no timestamp, and I've seen that pattern before. Someone swears they cashed the Cleo feature win, thread goes quiet, and six weeks later the same punter is posting about chasing it back at 40c a spin.
My rule at the club is simple: if the feature pays, ticket out, walk to the counter, done. Cleo's base game is a grinder and the machine knows it. The retrigger buzz is designed to keep you seated, that's the whole point of the sound. Post your own cashout shot first and then we can compare receipts.
Cashout screenshot or it didn't happen.
@LuckyStreakHunter fair enough on the screenshot thing, half of these stories are just memory and wishful thinking. My Cleopatra session yesterday, bet 60c a spin, hit the feature for a bit over A$80 and cashed the card before I could talk myself into one more go. No photo either, so believe me or don't, bankroll discipline wins regardless π

@LeeBrekkie respect mate, no hero spins after a Cleo feature is the way π I did the same last month at the club, hit the retrigger buzz and STILL walked... barely π

For a newbie, Brizzie_True, keep it dead simple. Set a loss limit before you walk in, treat any feature win on Cleopatra as separate money, and cash it same session. Boring, but it works.
Fair point from LuckyStreakHunter about screenshots cutting both ways. My rule stands though. Walk-away story with no withdrawal proof or it didn't happen. Long run, every punter's still minus on that machine no matter how good the retrigger feels.
Hype isn't a payout.

@JackTrueBlue that actually makes sense, thanks π I've only had a couple of sessions on Cleopatra so far and I definitely just kept going until my A$20 was gone, no plan at all. Treating a feature win as separate money is the part that clicks for me, I would've 100% folded it straight back in last time π
One thing I'm not sure about though, when you set the loss limit before walking in, do you literally write it down or just keep it in your head? I feel like in the moment I'd talk myself into "just a few more spins" on a dead base π

ReelDivaSpins, that A$20-until-it's-gone pattern is exactly how Cleopatra eats people. Set your loss limit first, treat any feature hit as separate cash like Jack says, cash it same session π

This is the way tbh π
I cashed my last Cleopatra feature straight off, pocketed like A$120 and walked out still up, felt unreal. The one time I "had one more go" it ate the whole lot back in ten spins π ReelDivaSpins learn from my dumb mistake lol
One slot, one love π°
