The Conqueror Slot Review

The Conqueror Slot Game

Sometimes, glancing at a game’s title will give away what it’s about. In this case, Pragmatic Play opted for a conquest without necessarily mentioning the parties involved. So, you can even assume it’s you (the player) vs the computer (Random Number Generator).

Are you ready to conquer the highly volatile gameplay for a chance to win magnificent prizes? You can plan ahead using the free demo version linked to this GoodLuckMate review!    

Visually, The Conqueror starts ashore, where a warrior sits on a horse on the right-hand side of the grid. He’s wearing a turban and carrying a sword, perhaps depicting that the game was set in the Middle Ages.

The background also has a city in the distance and various ships afloat. Meanwhile, the free spins ambience turns bloody and fiery, with the calm soundtrack becoming more fast-paced.

Symbols and Payouts

The next stop leads us to the paytable in a bid to unravel the symbols and payouts. Here, you’ll encounter nine standard payout symbols, a scatter, and four multiplier symbols. It sounds like the setups in the Gates of Olympus or Starlight Princess sequels.

If you study the paytable, you will see that symbols pay anywhere as long as at least 8 of the same are in view! Okay, except for the scatter, which pays for 4+.

The total number of every symbol at the end of the spin determines the win’s value based on the selected stake!

In The Conqueror, the low-valued wins worth up to 2.5x, 3x, 4x, and 5x the bet originate from 8+ Blue, Green, Red, and Purple Gems, respectively.

Then, the high-paying Sword, White Horse, Castle Tower, Cannon, and Ship pay up to 7.5x, 10x, 15x, 25x, and 50x the bet, respectively.

Behold, there’s no wild in this game. However, be on the lookout for the Man in Turban scatter. It appears on all reels, paying 2x to 100x the bet for 4 or more of itself. Although it doesn’t explode as part of the tumbles, it can trigger the free spins.

You’ll notice I’ve left the multiplier symbols for now. However, I’ll delve into them below!

The Conqueror Slot Bonus Features

Like the Gates of Olympus and Starlight Princess games, this video slot brings on board a tumble feature, free spins, multiplier symbols, a buy feature, and an ante bet!

Tumble Feature

Every winning symbol disappears after the combinations are paid, allowing the remaining symbols to drop to the screen’s bottom. As a result, icons from above replace the empty positions. The tumbles continue without limits until no more paying sequences appear.

A locked row of symbols appears above the main 6x5 gameboard. The 1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, and 15th continuous tumbles from the same spin can unlock reel 1 to reel 6 positions one by one from left to right. Once unlocked, the new positions will be part of the game grid until that spin’s tumbles end.

Multiplier Symbols

The Conqueror has Red, Purple, Green, and Blue Orbs as multiplier symbols. They appear randomly on all reels during spins and tumbles in all game modes, taking random 2x to 500x multipliers.

After the tumbling sequence, the values of all multipliers on-screen are added together, multiplying the final win.

Free Spins

When 4 or more scatters land anywhere, they trigger 10 free spins. This bonus round starts with a fully locked overhead row, with every tumble during the free spins counting towards the unlocks. Unlocked positions remain unchanged for the rest of the feature.

Whenever a multiplier hits during the free spins, its value accumulates into a total multiplier, which multiplies every win. Further, you trigger +5 more free spins whenever 3+ scatters land during the bonus.

Bonus Buy & Ante Bet

You can enter the free spins immediately from the base game using the “Buy Free Spins” function. Pay 100 times the bet, and 4, 5, or 6 scatters will randomly hit on the triggering spin.

You can select the 25x bet multiplier option to activate the ante bet mode if available in your market. As a result, your chances of naturally winning the free spins become higher. However, the buy feature becomes disabled.

How to Win at The Conqueror Slot

One thing about Pragmatic Play slots is that they’ll always be easy to play. For instance, all you need to do here is to spin the reels and hope for 8+ matching symbols to appear simultaneously.

But wait! You need to do a little more before spinning The Conqueror’s 6 by 5 reels.

First, pick an ideal bet from the €0.20 and €125 available amounts. Then, once done, you can play The Conqueror reels manually by pressing the Spin button or using the Spacebar/Enter buttons on your keyboard.

If you’re lucky, the spin can land identical winning symbols as displayed in the paytable, allowing you to win up to 5,000x the bet!

You can use Autoplay for many continuous spins and enable the Quickspin/Turbo options for faster reel spins.

The Conqueror Slot RTP & Volatility

This game has two RTP variants: 96.07% when playing normal games and 96.08% when using the ante bet or buy feature. On the other hand, it’s highly volatile!

The Final Thoughts

I love Pragmatic Play, but I think the Malta-based game-developing company sometimes underestimates its potential. Or is trying to capitalise on past successful releases that hard? Here’s why!

The Conqueror is neither a bad nor a good online slot. Yes, it has an immersive design, but it's a typical clone of past productions. So, it has nothing peculiar to offer slot enthusiasts, most of whom prefer unique experiences.

It’s like producing a ‘new’ product in a crowded market with no particular selling point for your product. Then, how do you expect it to perform massively? Anyway, if you’re new to the iGaming world or don’t mind repeating features seen in the Gates of Olympus or Starlight Princess series, you’ll find this gameplay exciting.   

In conclusion, though I’m a small fish in the larger online slot world, I would advise this giant game provider to focus on creating more unique releases.
