Conan Video Slot Conclusion
Despite how the game might appear impressive and fun the slot how ever is a little over complicated to play. In their attempt to make Conan massive it crumbled into a mess because of its over exaggerated features and little pay outs that fail to please NetEnt fans. The RTP rate of the slot is honestly unimpressive. More over, one can’t help than assume that the slot imitated some features from the other slots such as Vikings. However, the slot is not a complete failure and has a few features that make it redeemable.
