Necromancer

The visual appeal of a slot is very important. Developers have known this since back before the Internet was even invented, but the Necromancer slot, available at Evoplay Entertainment, takes it to a whole different level. It's one of the best-looking games on the market, bar none, and it could just as easily pass for a high-end MMORPG in terms of how it looks and feels. The gameplay is excellent and fast-paced without having a high volatility as well, which makes it a lot of fun to play also. This game is really the total package for players who like low-volatility titles with fairly smooth gameplay without many big swings.

A Gorgeous Layout

The layout of this game has five reels, four rows and a total of 40 paylines, but it doesn't look like it when you initially check out the game. This is because of how incredible the graphics and layout look. There are ranks and files of minions being summoned by the necromancer by the cauldron, and they make up the 5x4 grid of symbols. They drop into the ground at the beginning of the spin, and new characters raise up through the ground in this graveyard, which is fitting considering the theme of the game, to complete the spin.

Betting is pretty straightforward with total wagers that range from $0.10 to $500 per turn available in-game. Many casinos will limit the maximum wager, however, and all of the wins in this game are based on how much you're betting total.

Wild Jackolantern Symbol

The jackolantern is the wild symbol, and it fits the spooky theme really well. You'll only see them appear on the second and fourth reels, and they don't substitute for scatters. With that having been said, because there are so many available lines, the wilds give you some serious value in spite of these limitations.

Scatters and Free Spins

There's a spooky chest symbol that's a scatter, and it gives you a chance at some free spins. They make an appearance on the middle three reels only, and you'll need to get them on the reels all at the same time to get the free spins mode. During this mode, you'll have randomly selected symbols on each spin that randomly clone to give you better chances of hitting their winning combinations during the feature.

Re-spin Feature

During the main game, you can get re-spins by picking up any winning combination. The winning symbol becomes cloned, which makes more of them appear on the reels. The reels spin again and give you one free opportunity to get more winning combinations. It's a pretty good feature that's a bit different than similar features in other games, and it ties into the magical nature of the necromancer quite a bit. With that having been said, you can only get one re-spin at a time, and wins during a re-spin do not give you more re-spins.

Key Payouts and Characters

The five standing characters are the main symbols with the best payouts. The one with the big, red cape is the highest-paying symbol, and he will award you 30x for five of a kind. There's a large skeleton with a blue piece of armor on his shoulder and a large ball-and-chain mace, and he'll get you 10x for five. The dark knight in purple with a large sword earns players 6x, and the green one with the helmet over his eyes gets players 5x. A win of 3x can also be yours when you lineup five of the yellow-themed soldier skeleton on a payline.

Four other symbols are on the reels as well. The standing plain skeleton gets 1.5x for five, and the skeleton head with the bandages earns 1.2x. A 1.2x win can also be yours for five of the ghost, and the skull with two little arms earns players a 1x prize for five of a kind combinations.

Overview

With the Necromancer slot by Evoplay Entertainment, the aesthetic appeal has been cranked up to a major level, and the gameplay is strong as well. With that having been said, this is one of the best-looking games on the market period, and that's something that's a major point that we really feel we need to make with this title. On the gameplay side, the pay table is balanced with decent features, and the top regular payout of 30x is like a 1,200x line bet win with 40 paylines, so we can't really argue with that either.
