Kerching Casino favourite Cleopatra was early feminist, says author
Kerching online slots players will no doubt have a few fond words for historical figure Cleopatra.
The Cleopatra casino slots title is based on the Egyptian queen and has proved to be one of the most popular titles in the Kerching catalogue. Indeed, it is one of the few games in our collection so revered that it has spawned a sequel.
Players seem to be drawn by the allure of the beautiful queen, and continue to go back for more of the 20-payline experience which is adorned with beautiful Ancient Egyptian iconography.
Now Stacy Schiff, author of a new biography based on Cleopatra's life, has revealed a possible reason why the figure has remained popular over thousands of years. During an interview with the New York Times, she said that Cleopatra's longevity as an important historical figure can be put down to her bravery in the face of many struggles during her reign. She said:
"[She was] a woman who not only played to two radically different constituencies but also knew she could be removed by Rome, deposed by her subjects, undermined by her advisers - or stabbed, poisoned and dismembered by her own family."
Schiff went on to suggest that Cleopatra was one of the earliest proponents of the feminist movement, thousands of years before gender equality became a big issue.
