Play Cleocatra in New Zealand

Cleocatra gives its first reel a job no other reel has. Fill it completely with matching cats and that stack turns sticky, along with any matching cats or multiplier wilds elsewhere on the grid, while every remaining position respins until a win arrives. Pragmatic Play released the Egyptian pokie on 26 May 2022 across 5 reels and 4 rows with 40 fixed paylines and a 5,000x ceiling.

Cleocatra Game Overview

Cleocatra pays three or more matching symbols read from the leftmost reel over forty always-active lines. Coloured cats sit at the top of the paytable and card ranks fill the lower half, spread across a grid one row taller than the usual 5x3.

Cleocatra excludes wilds from reel 1 entirely, keeping them to reels 2 through 5. The first reel is where the cat stacks form, so the two mechanics never share a column.

Cleocatra is listed at Wildz with an RTP of 94.50%, which is the figure attached to the build New Zealand players load. Pragmatic Play issues most pokies in several configurations, and the in-game panel confirms the value in force alongside the betting limits.

How Does Cleocatra Work?

Cleocatra settles a spin on forty fixed lines, paying matching symbols from reel one rightwards. The lines are always active, so the stake is the only choice made before the reels turn.

Cleocatra then checks two independent conditions. A fully stacked first reel triggers the respin feature, and three or more scatters anywhere on the grid open the free spins — neither depends on the other.

Cleocatra Multiplier Wilds

Cleocatra marks each paw pyramid wild with a x2 or x3 value and keeps them on reels 2 to 5. A wild substitutes for the paying symbols and applies its multiplier to the combination it completes.

Cleocatra multiplies those values together when two or more wilds appear in the same win, which is where the pokie’s large results come from. The reel a wild lands on and the value it carries are both drawn by the game, and no stake makes a multiplied win more likely.

Cleocatra Respin Feature

Cleocatra begins a respin the moment reel 1 is filled with identical cats. That stack locks in place, and any matching cats or multiplier wilds already showing on the other reels lock with it.

Cleocatra then respins everything that is not held, and repeats until a winning combination lands. The feature turns a full first reel into a guaranteed return, but whether reel 1 fills at all is entirely down to the spin.

Cleocatra Free Spins

Cleocatra awards 8, 12 or 16 free spins for three, four or five scatters and pays 5x the stake at the trigger. The round uses the same forty lines and the same paytable as the base game.

Cleocatra changes one thing: multiplier wilds landing during the round stay on the reels until it finishes. A round that opens with one x2 wild can end with several on the grid at once, and a full cat stack on reel 1 inside the round adds 2 spins.

Cleocatra Sticky Wilds

Cleocatra accumulates wilds instead of clearing them every spin, and that accumulation is what makes the free spins worth more than the base game. The more spins a round runs, the more of the grid can be occupied by symbols that substitute and multiply at the same time.

Cleocatra still deals the wilds at random, so a sixteen-spin round can finish with barely more than it started. Nothing can be influenced once the round is under way, and every sticky position clears when the feature ends.

Cleocatra RTP

Cleocatra carries a theoretical return of 94.50% at Wildz. That percentage describes how much of all money wagered the pokie is designed to pay back over an extremely large number of spins, measured on the build being served.

Cleocatra reaches that average across the whole population of play rather than inside one session, where results scatter widely either side of it. The in-game information screen is where the current figure should be confirmed.

Cleocatra Volatility

Cleocatra sits at 6 out of 10 on the Wildz volatility scale, in the medium band. Forty lines across four rows keep base-game wins turning over, and the respin feature adds returns without needing the bonus round at all.

Cleocatra saves its largest results for free spins rounds where several sticky wilds pile up. Those rounds arrive at random, a run without three scatters does not shorten the wait, and no betting approach affects how many wilds a round gathers.

Cleocatra Maximum Win

Cleocatra tops out at 5,000x the stake, covering the base game, the respins, the free spins and the compounded wild multipliers together. A $1 stake corresponds to a $5,000 ceiling.

Cleocatra approaches it only in a round where several x3 wilds have gone sticky and keep contributing to wins. The figure marks the edge of the pokie’s mathematics rather than a realistic session outcome.

How to Play Cleocatra in New Zealand

Cleocatra is played by opening the game, reading the paytable and rules, setting a stake between 0.20 and 100, and spinning. Each paid spin deducts the stake, settles the forty lines and then checks the respin and scatter conditions.

Cleocatra players in New Zealand should read the in-game RTP and betting limits before switching from the demo to real money, and check whether the bonus buy is offered locally. Account conditions and availability come from the casino rather than from Pragmatic Play.

Can You Play Cleocatra on Mobile?

Yes, Cleocatra works on compatible phones and tablets. The 5x4 grid, the forty lines, the multiplier values on the wilds and the free spins counter all sit comfortably on a portrait screen.

Cleocatra normally opens in a supported mobile browser without a download. Device capability, browser version and the casino’s account rules can still affect whether it loads.

Can You Play Cleocatra for Free?

Yes, Cleocatra can be played free in demo mode at Wildz New Zealand. The demo uses virtual credits and includes the multiplier wilds, the respin feature, the free spins and the full sticky-wild behaviour.

Cleocatra rewards a demo run because the respin feature resolves differently almost every time and is worth watching a few times before real money is involved. Demo credits have no cash value, and what happens there has no bearing on later real-money play.

Cleocatra in New Zealand

Cleocatra is available to eligible New Zealand players at Wildz in demo and real-money mode, subject to the casino’s account conditions. The country’s online casino framework is in transition, so the operators legally able to serve local players have changed recently.

Cleocatra players should confirm their chosen casino’s standing under the new regime. The Online Casino Gambling Act 2026 came into force on 1 May 2026, a transitional period for pre-existing operators runs until 1 December 2026, and the full licensing system is expected during 2027.

New Zealand Rules for Cleocatra

Cleocatra real-money play in New Zealand sits under the oversight of the Department of Internal Affairs, which administers the country’s gambling legislation. Players must be at least 18 years old, and operators are expected to verify identity and age before real-money play begins.

Cleocatra is offered by internationally licensed casinos during the transitional phase of the new regime, and those rules are still bedding in. Checking an operator’s current standing is more useful than relying on how the market looked before the Act took effect.
