Necromancer Demo Slot - Review for Canadians, Demo Play & Payout Info

Necromancer review: introduction

You will probably feel quite taken aback when you load Necromancer for the first time, as this is a slot like no other! There are no visible reels; nonetheless, the slot features a 5x4 grid. The symbol design also gets an overhaul - instead of tiles, you will be playing with 3D monsters that emerge from underground at the Necromancer’s command.

A skeleton king and skeleton warrior comprise the top of the paytable, followed by the medium-value purple, green, blue and Viking-style skeletons. Three ghosts round off the bottom portion of the paytable, but they still offer some decent payouts.

Aside from the compelling design, Necromancer’s best feature is undoubtedly its free spins. These are won by landing enough treasure chest scatters. The presence of this symbol, along with the pumpkin wild, injects real tension into every spin. Necromancer features 40 paylines, so there are ample opportunities to win.

This is a slot that has to be seen to be believed. You can play Necromancer and other Evoplay demo slots right here at Slots Temple.

Theme, graphics & design

Where do we begin with Necromancer? No matter how long you have been playing online slots, we can guarantee that you have never experienced a game quite like this; in fact, this Halloween themed slot barely resembles a slot at all and has the look of an RPG game such as Warhammer or DOTA. There is no grid, no symbols, and not even any spinning!

Instead, play takes place in the dark depths of a cave, where a necromancer stands over a simmering cauldron. An army of monsters stand before him, which are the symbols. When the necromancer waves his wand, they turn to dust and are replaced by a different set, which constitutes a spin.

This is a stunning mechanic that totally reinvents the slot formula. All the monsters are brilliantly animated with personalities and sound effects of their own. We simply have too many good things to say about Necromancer. Everything from the ominous music, the grunts and roars of the monsters and even the way the necromancer flies up close to the screen to award free spins is a triumph.

Necromancer RTP and variance

Necromancer’s volatility rating is low-medium, which is reassuring if you like regular wins. These wins will, of course, be slightly smaller. The slot’s RTP is 95.90 per cent, so it is a little below average. The top win of 300x is also quite small.

How to play Necromancer

Necromancer is vastly different from most other online slots, so we recommend taking a look at our guide before you begin:

1. All the controls you need are located on a panel at the bottom of the screen.

2. Start with the button marked ‘i’. This will launch the instructions, which contain information on the paytable, bonuses and paylines.

3. You will find the bet controls a little further along the control panel. Tap - and + to alter your wager.

4. Holding the spin button opens autoplay, where you can choose up to 100 spins. You can’t set win or loss limits.

5. It is easy to get carried away when playing a slot, so set your budget before you begin.

6. Although Necromancer doesn’t have reels in the traditional sense, pressing the spin button will still get the game started.

Bet & win sizes

Necromancer offers a starting bet size of 0.10, which can be increased as high as 500. The valuable red skeleton warrior awards the maximum single line win of 30x.

Here is the full paytable for five-of-a-kind undead characters:

- Red skeleton warrior = 30x
- Skeleton warrior = 10x
- Purple skeleton = 6x
- Green skeleton = 5x
- Orange skeleton = 3x
- Blue skeleton = 1.5x
- Bandaged ghost = 1.2x
- Purple ghost = 1.2x
- Green ghost = 1x

Necromancer has 40 paylines and its highest payout is 300x. This is quite small for a top prize, but you will still need plenty of luck and patience to win it.

Necromancer bonus features

Given Necromancer’s unique visuals, it is hardly surprising that it comes with quite a few bonus features. Here is what to expect as you delve deeper into the crypt:

- Free spins

Golden treasure chests appear on reels two, three and four. These are scatter symbols and if you manage to land three or more, you will earn five free spins - and a ghastly performance from the necromancer himself to celebrate!

- Respins

Respins are an exceptionally generous feature that can trigger during the base game. Any winning combination leads to a respin, with the winning symbols duplicated so that more appear in the next spin. It might not sound like much, but this can have lucrative consequences.

Conclusion

We wish that more developers would take risks like this. Necromancer brings so many new gameplay mechanics that it could easily have fallen flat or become confusing; instead, it is an absolute joy to play and is bound to delight anyone who is tired of familiar slots that look and feel the same.

Aside from the unique premise and design, the free spins are a big highlight. They are made even better by the fact that high-value symbols can duplicate across the reels, hopefully awarding bigger wins. The respins can also be lucrative, but the final word has to go to the design.

Evoplay has excelled itself by doing something that few other developers have managed: designing a completely original slot. This is reason enough to give this brilliant game a try, and we are sure you will be blown away by the new mechanics.

For more undead fun, we recommend trying the Esqueleto Explosivo slot. This is also available to play here at Slots Temple.
