Game Overview
Napoleon Bonaparte is one of the best-known military commanders of all time and was active during the French Revolution and later Revolutionary Wars. Napoleon was such a legendary strategist that his political and cultural legacy is still very much alive to this day, and whilst he is much celebrated as a leader, he is also a highly controversial figure. However, we won’t be worrying about any of that today, as we’re just here to discuss Blueprint Gaming’s new Napoleon – Rise of an Empire online slot! The machine has 20 paylines, a 95.96% RTP, and a 5,000x bet jackpot prize.
One of the neat aspects of this game is the wild multiplier feature, which boosts the value of pay line hits according to the number of wild symbols that feature in the combination. A single wild will double the prize listed on the paytable, whilst two wilds provide a 4x boost, three offers 8x, and four wilds will apply a massive 16x multiplier to your total win. There are two ‘Battle Cry’ modifiers available during both the base game and bonus round, and the free spins also include a ’Napoleon Streak’ feature – more on that later.
With everything I’ve heard about Napoleon, you’d have to be crazy to challenge him. Thankfully, our free demo slot of Napoleon Rise of an Empire is much less intimidating! You can give it a spin below.
Napoleon Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
I’m sure I reviewed another game featuring Napoleon just a few weeks ago, but for some reason, I can’t find it now; perhaps I’m imagining it. For some reason, Pragmatic Play’s 5 Rabbits Megaways comes up in the search, but I’m struggling to work out what that game has to do with Napoleon. Aha! Perhaps it’s something to do with the excellent (and funny) Napoleon vs Rabbits online slot! If you haven’t tried Blue Guru’s smash hit yet, check it out when you’ve finished experimenting with this game. After all, if anybody could take down Napoleon, it would surely be a horde of 8-bit rabbits, wouldn’t it?
The numbers given on the paytable of this machine relate to the minimum bet, so a quick calculation is needed to convert them into multiples of the stake. With that done, it turns out that the Napoleon wild symbol is the highest-paying of the bunch – surprise, surprise – and this will award 5,000x the total bet for a full payline of five of a kind. A French revolutionary guard takes the second-place spot with a return of 200x the total bet for all five symbols, followed by a 19th-century battleship which offers 80x for a full payline. The horse will pay you 32x your bet for all five symbols, whilst the last high-paying symbol is a cannon with a return of 24x for a complete payline. Finally, the low pays are divided into three groups with five of a kind payouts ranging between 4x and 16x the total bet staked.
The betting range starts with a minimum wager of €0.20 per spin and tops out at a reasonable €40.00 per round for those with larger bankrolls. So regardless of your playing budget, you should easily be able to find a stake to play at between these two amounts that you are comfortable with.
Napoleon Slot Base Game & Modifiers
The base game of this machine, based around Napoleon’s legendary conquest, offers 20 paylines on a 5×3 playfield. The wild symbol, revolutionary soldier, and battleship will all award a payout for two matching symbols on a pay line starting from the left, whilst all other symbols require at least three matches before a prize is awarded.
Wild Multiplier
The numbers shown on the paytable of this machine are a little misleading in my opinion – but in a good way! Whenever a wild symbol is included in a winning combination, the amount shown on the paytable is multiplied according to the following rules:
- 1 Wild Symbol: 2x Multiplier
- 2 Wilds: 4x Multiplier
- 3 Wilds: 8x Multiplier
- 4 Wilds: 16x Multiplier
A payline featuring all five wilds pays the top jackpot prize of 5,000x the total bet.
Battle Cry Modifiers
During any spin, Napoleon may appear and activate one of two special modifiers:
- Bonus symbols may be added to the reels, increasing your odds of triggering a free spins feature
- Wild symbols may be added to the reels, boosting your chances of winning a jackpot or a line hit with a significant multiplier
Napoleon Slot Bonus Features
Hitting three or more scatter symbols will award ten free spins and trigger the game’s main bonus feature. Let’s not waste any time and find out what this feature is all about below.
Free Spins
In this mode, any winning combination landing on the reels will trigger the Napoleon Streak feature. When this occurs, all winning symbols will be locked in place, and the game will then provide a free re-spin. If further winning symbols happen to appear, another re-spin will be awarded. If a re-spin does not result in new winning symbols being added to your existing combination, the feature will end, and your total win will be paid out.
The free spins feature can be re-triggered by hitting three or more scatter symbols on a single free spin. Ten more spins will be added to your remaining total when this occurs.
Pros
- The wild multipliers can enhance winning combos.
- A very simple and fun slot game to play.
Cons
- Many of the bonus rounds can return low winnings.
Napoleon Slot Review Final Thoughts
Napoleon Rise of an Empire is a relatively simple game, but I was surprised by just how much fun I had while testing it! If you're as big a fan as me, then you'll be happy to know that Blueprint's partner studio, Lucksome, has released Napoleon 2 Fatstacks, so make sure you give that a try, too.
