Napoleon vs Rabbits

Napoleon vs Rabbits Review

We do know that great stories can make a good game, and Napoleon vs Rabbits is an example of that. This charming 8-bit game is based on true events. Napoleon was attacked by rabbits when hunting. With this anecdote in mind, let’s take a closer look at the actual gameplay.

Napoleon is always present on the 7x7 cluster pays grid as a Wild symbol, and whenever he’s included in a win you get to see the rabbits chasing him. They create mystery symbols, and you also get Mystery Rabbit Box symbols that spawn extra mystery symbols when adjacent to winning clusters. This increases the win multiplier in the bonus round, for payouts up to 3,894x your stake.

Napoleon vs Rabbits Slot Features

You win by landing 5 to 40-49 matching symbols in a cluster anywhere on the 7x7 grid, and the largest clusters pay between 100 and 400 x your stake for the lower value carrot symbols. The payout range increases to 500 to 1,000 x your stake for the premium symbols, and ‘W’ wild symbols step in for pay symbols to help complete wins. There is also the Napoleon Wild that does the same, and it is always present and not removed when part of a win.

This brings us to the Cascading mechanic, which removes winning symbols to make room for new and/or existing symbols to drop down to fill the gaps. This process repeats as long as you keep winning, and the Napoleon vs Rabbits feature triggers when the Napoleon Wild is part of a win.

When the Napoleon Wild is part of a win, you’ll see a white rabbits appear. At the end of the cascading sequence the rabbits move towards the Napoleon Wild. All symbols in their wake are turned into Mystery symbols, and these are activated by rabbits that overlap them. The activated mystery symbols transform into the same randomly chosen matching symbol.

The Mystery Rabbit Box Symbols are also unaffected by the cascading mechanic, and they are activated when a winning cluster hits adjacent to them. The Mystery Rabbit Box symbols unleash extra Mystery Symbols as the cascading sequence comes to an end.

The Bonus Round triggers when you activate 3 Mystery Rabbit Box symbols in the same cascading sequence, and this gives you 7 free spins. Activating additional boxes above the minimum of 3 awards +3 additional spins per additional box. This also increases the win multiplier by +1 per additional box.

The same happens during the bonus round, so you get +3 extra spins and +1 added to the win multiplier per activated Mystery Rabbit Box. Finally, the bonus round can be purchased if eligible in your jurisdiction, and it costs 50x your stake (not available in the UK for sure). The RTP does not change if you purchase the feature.

Review Summary

First of all, the creative effort of making a slot about the time Napoleon was attacked by rabbits is appreciated. The Napoleon vs Rabbits game pace is a bit too slow and tedious.

Once you’ve seen the rabbits run towards Napoleon a few times, the novelty and comedic value gets old. The 8-bit charm is running high all the way though, and a faster game speed would’ve gone a long way. The math model is far from the strongest either, with a top-tier RTP of only 95.45 % and a mediocre 3,894x potential.
