Conan Slot

Graphics

As kings of branded content, NetEnt gives us the real deal Conan. Just like it gave us the real deal Vikings, we get a warrior king, not a muscled impressionist. Combined with great graphics, we really do get a video game type feel on the Conan slot. Even more so when we see the slot’s symbols appear across the reels.

These include Snakes, Falcons and Lions, alongside Grappling Hooks, Helmets and Swords. Conan himself appears as the highest paying symbol, giving us six times our stake for five of a kind; while his nemesis Thoth-Amon and his sidekick, Valeria, also act as high paying symbols.

To say this slot is action packed and filled with top visuals is an understatement, vividly bursting to life when the Battle Wilds and Thoth-Amon features kick in. When we trigger the Mystery Multiplier we get to see a cool animation of Conan battling a huge snake (because, well, it’s Conan).

Gameplay

There’s an action film feel to this slot, with each spin bringing us a cavalcade of sound effects, winning noises and warrior poses. This isn’t the first time that a slots developer has adapted a movie to the slots reels, but it’s the unique setup and bonuses that make Conan stand out from a host of other titles.

The reel set is split into three sections, each two by four. When different symbols fall into the sections, we’re the ones to benefit. For instance, if a Blue Tower Wild appears on the first two reels, it expands to cover the reel. If Mystery Symbols land on reels three or four, it transforms symbols into matching ones. If it appears fully stacked, we trigger the Mystery Multiplier feature. Every time Conan hits a huge snake he increases our Multiplier, with up to x7 to play for.

On the last two reels, the Red Battle Wild can appear, expanding up to three positions sideways. A slot based on a blockbuster doesn’t settle there, either. Linked Reels can come in to play at random, linking the reel sets together to help create more wins. And then we have Free Spins but again, not just normal Free Spins. Three, four, five or six Scatters gives us ten, 15, 25 or 50 Free Spins. Before we use them, we can select from the City of Thieves, Temple of the Serpent or Walls of Tarantia – each of which gives us a different variance and enhanced features. Wow!

Verdict

The Conan online slot is a fantastic addition to NetEnt’s licenced slots portfolio. It ticks all the boxes when it comes to great graphics, gameplay and bonuses. It might take a little while to get used to the split reel setup like the exposition in an action movie, but once you’re over that there’s no doubt this title will be a go-to slot for fans of the genre and beyond.
