Conan

Conan Review

Conan is a highly anticipated game, and it has been awaited since its initial announcement. It offers 3 distinct free spins features, along with 4 other bonus features, some of which enhance the free spins experience.

The game boasts impressive visuals, featuring a 3D animated Conan battling a large snake in front of the reels. The gameplay unfolds on 6 reels, 4 rows, and 48 ways to win. Bets can be placed across various platforms and devices, and both the main villain and a companion character are present in the game.

Conan is inspired by a story created by Robert E. Howard in 1932, famously portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1982 film. The slot effectively captures the movie's atmosphere. However, the relatively low potential of 1,008x the stake is a slight disappointment.

What symbols are there?

The reels showcase weapons, with the 3 main characters as the highest-value symbols. Conan is the highest paying, followed by his nemesis and his female ally. Here's the paytable for Conan:

• Conan - Pays 6x for 6 on a payline
• Toth-Amon - Pays 5.5x for 6 on a payline
• Valeria - Pays 5x for 6 on a payline
• Helmet - Pays 3.5x for 6 on a payline
• Sword - Pays 3x for 6 on a payline
• Grappling hook - Pays 2.5x for 6 on a payline
• 3 different coins - Pay between 1.5x and 1x for 5 on a payline

What are the bonus features?

The reel is divided into 3 sections of 2 reels each. Activating a bonus feature requires landing a section's special symbol within its assigned area. The 3 features available are:

• Tower Wilds (reels 1 and 2) – triggers when a blue tower wild lands on reels 1 or 2, expanding to potentially cover the entire reel.
• Mystery Symbols (reels 3 and 4) – activates when Mystery symbols appear on reels 3 and 4, transforming them into matching symbols. A fully stacked landing triggers the Mystery Multiplier. Conan battles a snake, and each successful hit boosts the multiplier by 1x, starting at 3x and potentially reaching 7x. Landing a Mystery symbol with Tower Wild and Battle Wild initiates the Toth Amon feature, granting 3 to 6 Mystery symbols on reels 2 to 5.
• Battle Wilds (reels 5 and 6) – triggers when a red battle wild lands on reels 5 or 6, expanding sideways up to 3 reel positions.

A random feature called Twin Spin can activate at any time during the base game. A reel pair highlights, indicating the feature's activation. The twin reels then display identical symbols, assisting in forming winning combinations. During free spins, this feature can link all 6 reels simultaneously.

Free spins in Conan

Triggering the free spins feature requires landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatters on the same spin, awarding 10, 15, 25, or 50 free spins, respectively. You can then choose between 3 free spins features:

• City of Thieves – provides Tower wilds that can appear anywhere, expanding to cover potentially the full reel.
• Temple of the Serpent– offers more volatility. It provides Mystery symbols and stacks that can land on all reels. Fully stacked Mystery symbols trigger a multiplier up to 7x. More than 5 Mystery symbols activate the Thoth Amon feature.
• Walls of Tarantia – provides Battle wilds that can expand up to 3 reel positions horizontally.

What is the jackpot (max win)?

There isn't a jackpot to be won. The maximum win available is 1,008 times the stake, allowing you to win up to £201,600 on a single spin. The game has medium variance.

Where can I play Conan?

You can play Conan on your mobile and tablet devices. This offers the flexibility to play at any time, requiring only an Android, iPhone, or iPad.

SlotCatalog verdict

This slot is feature-rich. The issue lies in the limited potential for substantial wins, rendering many features somewhat pointless. Although witnessing Conan's battle with the snake is initially impressive, it becomes repetitive. A higher win potential would make it much better.
