Today sees the official release of the latest Nextgen Gaming slot Cleo’s Wish, Videoslots Casino should have this new slot live and playable for either real or play money.
Cleo’s Wish is an Egyptian themed slot using 25 paylines and a regular 5×3 reel layout that comes with a variety of features that include Added Wilds, Wild Reels, Sands of Fortune, and 2 unique Free Spins Modes with a Super Spin Mode built in one of them.
The base game action is fairly decent with a variety of added regular and added wilds and added wild reels (Wish Upon A Wild) helping to create wins along with the randomly activated Sands of Fortune feature which replaces all picture symbols with 1 specific symbol for that spin.
The main win potential though is from either of the free spins modes which are triggered by landing 3 of the special Scatter symbols on the reels, you then get to randomly pick either Cleo’s Parade or Eternal Riches Free Spins round.

Bonus Features
Wish Upon a Wild – Base Game
There are 2 randomly activated base game features that can occur randomly during any spin.
- Guaranteed Wild Reels – Up to 5 reels starting from the left may change to guaranteed wild reels where stacks of wilds are added to the reels.
- Added Wilds – Additional Wild Symbols are randomly added to the reels.
Free Spins
Once the main bonus is triggered you simply select a card to be randomly awarded one of the 2 free spins modes.
Cleos’ Parade – A Stack of Wild symbols starts on the 5th reel, during each spin of the free spins round this wild reel moves one reel to the left, additional wild reels can land on the other reels will also then move towards the left during the remaining spins.
This bonus round finishes when the last stack of wilds reaches the leftmost reel, it’s also possible to re-trigger this bonus awarding a new wild reel placed on reel 5.
Eternal Riches (Super Spins) – This free spins round is a 2 stage affair, the primary objective of the regular bonus round is to collect as many Scatter and Wild symbols as possible during the free spins.
Every Wild symbol will add 3 points to the Win Multiplier (Maximum 20x) and every Scatter grants 3 Extra Spins during the Super Spins, you can also re-trigger the first part of this bonus round.
Once all of the regular spins have been used up the Super Spins then activate with the Multiplier Value and Free Spins earned in the first part of the bonus being used.

Overall Opinions
Cleo’s Wish is a decent release from Nextgen with plenty of base game action and features and the potential for some huge wins with up to 5 added Wild Reels in the base game, the 2 different free spins modes are both capable of decent wins but we definitely prefer the Eternal Riches mode and the subsequent Super Spins at the end of it with up to 20x Multipliers.
In our playtests the bonus end results were all over the place with wins as low as 5x to well over 200x stake so be prepared for some variance on this game.
The Cleo’s Parade Free Spins can be very disappointing if no additional Wilds land on the reels and prolong the bonus round, but get a couple of wild line moving across the reels and things get very exciting
Overall a fairly decent slot release from Nextgen, the Egyptian theme has been done to death but at least this offers a couple of new interesting bonus features into the mix.
