Alexander's Conquest

Alexander's Conquest review

Alexander's Conquest follows Alexander the Great's army on campaign, with soldiers, banners and beast emblems on a scroll-framed grid in front of a field camp. High 5 Games builds it on 6 reels of 4 positions, or 4,096 ways, and its Way Out Ways arrows can stretch every reel to 10 positions for up to 1,000,000 ways. The rules screen in the demo lists a 96.0% RTP, and VegasSlotsOnline and SlotsTemple rate the volatility as high. Three or four Bonus symbols start 18 or 25 free games, in which arrows keep their reels expanded for the rest of the round. Use the demo on this page to watch how the arrows grow and shrink the reels before you decide whether to play for real money. Demo results are for practice only and do not predict real-money outcomes.

• Theme: the military campaign of Alexander the Great
• Way Out Ways: up and down arrows marked 1, 2 or 3 expand a reel by that many positions on the next bets, up to 3 above and 3 below the 4 default positions. On each later bet, an expanded reel that had no win and no new expansion shrinks by 1 position at the top and 1 at the bottom. Expansion progress applies only at the total bet where it was earned.
• Wild: substitutes for all symbols except scatters. It lands only on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5, and only in the 4 default positions.
• Wild Bonus: appears only when a reel expands to its topmost or bottommost position, and counts as a Bonus symbol for triggering the free games.
• Free Games: 3 or more Bonus symbols on reels 2 to 5 start the Free Games Bonus: 3 award 18 spins and 4 award 25. The bonus uses different reels, and 3 or 4 more Bonus symbols add 2 or 3 spins.
• Expanding reels in the bonus: during the free games an arrow expands its reel for every following spin of the bonus, up to the same limit of 3 positions above and 3 below.
• Paytable: the wolf and lion emblems pay the most, 80 for six of a kind, ten times the 8 paid by each soldier symbol (credit values from the rules screen).
• In the demo: the rules screen on this page is version 1.0, dated 16 September 2020, and the counter above the reels shows WAYS: 4096 at the start.
• Compared with Shadow Diamond: Noir: both are High 5 Games slots on 6 reels, but Shadow Diamond: Noir uses 50 fixed paylines and a 96.5% RTP, while Alexander's Conquest swaps lines for 4,096 to 1,000,000 ways at 96.0%.

Alexander's Conquest suits players who like ways slots where the grid itself changes from spin to spin. High volatility and a free games round worth 18 or 25 spins mean long quiet spells are normal, and the rules do not state a max win. Watch how the arrows build up the reels in the free demo first, and set a budget before playing for real money.
