Swintt unearths ancient riches in Hidden Treasures of Rome: Cleopatra’s Love

Swintt has added a new title to its Premium slot range with Hidden Treasures of Rome: Cleopatra’s Love, a game that mixes Roman power, epic romance and the promise of big wins.

The action takes place on a lavish six-reel layout set against imperial Rome, with the reels framed by marble columns and bathed in warm, golden light to match the theme of wealth and empire.

On the reels, players will find a full set of themed symbols including jewelled rings, centurion helmets and eagle emblems as the higher-paying icons. The centre of the story is the royal couple, Mark Antony and Cleopatra, who appear together as a special scatter symbol that not only fits the narrative, but also triggers the main bonus feature when enough land on a spin.

How the features and mechanics work

Hidden Treasures of Rome: Cleopatra’s Love employs a “anywhere pays” mechanism in place of conventional paylines. A winning combination is formed whenever eight or more matching symbols show up anywhere on the grid.

After that, those winning symbols vanish from the reels, making room for new icons to appear and possibly generate more wins in a single spin. The value of successful clusters can be increased by adding random multipliers up to 500x to wins.

Landing four or more Mark Antony and Cleopatra scatter symbols awards an instant payout and unlocks the free spins bonus round with 15 free spins. During this feature, hitting three extra scatters adds another five free spins. Players who prefer to jump straight into the action can use a Buy Feature Games option to purchase direct entry into the bonus.

Once inside the free spins, a progressive multiplier metre appears to the right of the reels. Whenever a multiplier is applied to a win, its value is permanently added to this metre. That accumulated multiplier is then applied to all subsequent payouts for the rest of the feature, stacking over time and creating the potential for payouts up to 5,000x the bet.

With high volatility and an average hit rate of 26.89%, every spin carries the chance to tap into the “hidden treasures” promised in the title as Swintt rolls the game out across its network of partner casino sites.
