Napoleon 2 Fat Stacks Slot Review 2024

Prepare for battle in Lucksome Games‘ latest addition to their Fat Stacks series, Napoleon 2 Fat Stacks!

Napoleon Bonaparte, later known as Napoleon I was a French Military Commander who went into battle with Europe and lost during the Battle of Waterloo. Soon after this, Napoleon was exiled to the Island of Saint Helena.

Still to this day, Napoleon occasionally makes an appearance in slot games such as Mighty Empire Hold & Win and Napoleon vs Rabbits, but it’s the original Napoleon: Rise of an Empire title that stands out as one of the best.

Napoleon: Rise of an Empire first came to light in 2018 courtesy of popular Provider Blueprint Gaming, yet it’s Lucksome Games that has risen to the challenge by creating a follow-up of the original that features their brand new Fat Stacks mechanic seen only once before in Fat Stacks Miami Cash.

Fat Stacks

During gameplay, when 2 or 3 identical symbols land on the same reel, they will transform into a Double or Triple FatStack in order to create more ways to win, up to 1,000,000. Fat Stacks will occur on all reels where there are identical symbols.

Fat Stacks will drop through all other symbols below until it reaches the first identical symbol of its kind. This will trigger a Cascade which fills all empty positions on the reel. Wilds and Scatters cannot form Fat Stacks.

Wilds

Napoleon Wilds appear on reels 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, substituting for all other symbols except Scatters.

During the base game, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 Napoleon Wilds substituting on a winning way will multiply the win by x2, x4, x8, x16, and x32 respectively.

Napoleon Mega Streak

During gameplay, if a Gold Napoleon Wild is used as part of a win, all winning symbols and Scatters in view will remain fixed in their positions, triggering the Napoleon Mega Streak feature.

During the Napoleon Mega Streak, all losing symbols are removed and new symbols will drop on at no extra cost. This continues until no new symbols appear in view. Please note, Fat Stacks are active during this time.

Battle Cry Modifier

During any random spin in the base game, Napoleon can appear and trigger 1 of 2 special Modifiers as follows.

  • Modifier 1 – Scatter symbols will be added to the reels, increasing your chances of triggering the Free Spins round.
  • Modifier 2 – Wild symbols will be added to the reels, increasing your odds of landing Wilds.

Napoleon 2 Fat Stacks: Our Verdict

Our immediate impression of Napoleon 2 Fat Stacks was one of apprehension. After all, the obscene payouts fo connecting a few symbols on traditional paylines was what made Rise of an Empire stand out. The more we played, the more we felt that our apprehension was baseless.

Lucksome has furthered the series brilliantly with features that propel Napoleon into the modern era of gaming. The Fat Stacks feature really makes a difference, and it’s a refreshing way of playing with the idea of variable win ways.

What impressed us most was how Napoleon kept a lot of its original personality, all while showcasing modern features. The bonus round still has the hold style gameplay, and the wins are absolutely significant when it gets going.

Overall, Napoleon 2 Fat Stacks stands out as a proud successor to a beloved game.
