Online casino players entranced by the Ancient Egyptian symbols

Cleopatra slots are some of the most enduringly popular games in the Kerching online casino catalogue. Players are drawn to their mysterious Ancient Egyptian theme as much as their generous free spins bonuses.

But more and more, Kerching online casino members are asking about the stories behind the Cleopatra slots pictures. We know that five Cleopatra 2 portraits are worth 10,000x and three monuments trigger the free spins bonus in MegaJackpots Cleopatra, but what do these images really represent? We take a look at the symbols behind Cleopatra, Cleopatra 2, MegaJackpots Cleopatra and the Cleopatra mobile slots game.

  • Queen Cleopatra - A familiar face in all four titles, it belongs to one of history's most famous rulers. Cleopatra was the last true Egyptian pharaoh and a woman of immense beauty. When her lover Mark Antony was defeated in battle 2,000 years ago, legend has it that she committed suicide by holding a poisonous asp to her breast.
  • Great Sphinx of Giza - Another symbol that can be found across the Cleopatra slots range is the Great Sphinx of Giza. The oldest known monumental sculpture, it was built an astonishing four-and-a-half millennia ago and still stands tall to this day. The Great Sphinx of Giza has the body of a lion, but mystery shrouds the question of who the strikingly realistic human face is modelled on.
  • Horus - This Cleopatra 2 staple has the body of a man and the head of a hawk. One of the most famous Egyptian deities, Horus was the god of the sky.
  • Anubis - Joining Horus on the reels of Cleopatra 2 is Anubis. Anubis had the head of a jackal and was one of the main gods of the dead.
  • Bastet - Don't be fooled into thinking all of the gods in Cleopatra 2 are male. Our last deity, Bastet, was a fierce warrior woman with a feline face who watched over the pharaohs in battle.
