Conan Slot Review
Conan is a very anticipated slot, which we waited for since its announcement by NetEnt at iGaming in London. It comes with three different Free Spin functions and four other bonus features some of which you get during the Free Spin bonus round.
The game looks astonishing. While playing this slot you see 3D animated Conan fighting with an enormous snake in front of the reels. All of this happens on 6 reels, 4 rows, and 24 paylines. The betting range is from 0.2 EUR to 200EUR, Max Win Multiplier is x1008 and the expected Maximum Win Value is 201 600 if you are going to bet 200EUR per spin. Return To Player in this slot is 96.01% or 96.65%, the difference is seemingly small but we recommend you to find a provider that offers higher RTP. Hit frequency is 24.9%(You can get a winning combination almost every fourth spin). This is a medium-high volatility slot so set your bets accordingly. The game is optimized for all popular platforms.
The story of Conan was created by Robert E. Howard in 1932 however most of us remember it thanks to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s role in the 1982 fantasy film. The slot captures the vibe of a legendary fantasy saga however we must admit that the absence of a jackpot and relatively small Max Win Multiplier are a little bit disappointing.

Conan Bonus Features
Main Game features
Tower Wilds are actually expanding vertically wilds. Upon expanding they cover everything except other Tower Wilds and Scatters and appear only on the first two reels.
Mystery Multiplier. There are the Mystery symbols that can appear on the third or forth reel. If they appear as a big stacked symbol covering the whole reel then the win (if any) will be multiplied by random multiplier from x3 to x7.
Battle Wilds are also some sort of expanding wilds but with a little bit different behavior. They can expand in both ways, horizontally and vertically, but only on the fifth and sixth reel and can cover 3 or less symbols in one way. They can’t expand over Scatters.
Catching during some spin with win together Mystery Multiplier and Tower Wilds or Battle Wilds will run the Thoth-Amon feature. From 3 and up to 6 Mystery symbols will be added to any positions with the regular Paytable symbols. This can happen on all reels except the first and last ones. The feature finishes once all positions are occupied.
Free Spins modes
Three or more scatters award players with Free Spins. The more scatters you catch, the more free spins you get, as usual. The amount can be from 10 to 50 rounds, depending on the amount of scatters.
Three modes of Free Spins with different volatility are available in the game.
The City of Thieves Free Spins. The Low/Medium volatility option. In this mode Tower Wilds can appear on all reels and cover them partially or completely. All other features are disabled.
The Temple of the Serpents Free Spins. The Medium/High volatility option. The Mystery symbols can randomly appear everywhere on the reels. If during this action some reel becomes fully covered by these Mystery symbols the Mystery Multiplier becomes activated, and multiplies the win by 3-7 multiplier. The Thoth-Amon feature is activated at random by landing 5-9 Mystery symbols. It adds 3-6 more Mystery symbols to the reels at any place. All other features are deactivated.
The Walls of Tarantia Free Spins. Also The Medium/High volatility option. As you might have already guessed the Battle Wilds can appear and expand on any reels in this mode. And again, all other features are switched off.
So as you can see, this slot has a lot to offer in terms of bonus games and they usually deliver us great payouts.
Conan Slot Verdict
This is a very complicated slot to master and get a decent payout playing it. The only chance to win some money is to get those bonus features which are really hard to get. For Conan fans, it is exciting to immerse yourself into a familiar setting and see him fight that giant snake, but only for a short time. It seems like NetEnt could make this game a little bit better by adding a jackpot and adjusting the bonus hit frequency to something higher.
