Conga Party Slot

I thought at first this Conga Party has something to do with King Kong and the movie. Hmm, after realising I missed the whole theme, I searched in google to check out what the connection in fact is. I am sorry I must had missed that music class, but I am not familiar with most of the music instruments out there, or in other words, I wasn't interested but in basics. The Conga, also known as the Tumbadora, is a tall, narrow, single-headed drum from Cuba. Congas are shaped like barrels and classified into three types: Quinto (lead drum, highest), Tres Dos or Tres Golpes (middle), and Tumba or Salidor (lowest). Congas are traditionally used in Afro-Cuban genres such as Conga and Rumba, although they are now very common in some other forms of Latin music, including Descarga, Afro-Cuban jazz, Salsa, Songo, Merengue and Latin Rock.

Now that we know all the facts, let's begin this Conga party! I must admit I got really scared when I first heard of that sound while I waited for the third symbol of wild or Scatter to appear on any active payline. It's rather annoying than entertaining in this 5-reels 30-paylines video slot, which is playable from 0.30 cents bet per spin. You could win from 3 up to 10 free spins, which is not generous at all. Quite poor, allow me to say. I haven't triggered any Free Spins feature yet and it may remain in my dreams, as I don't see myself playing this game in the future. But, if I see some really nice winning screenshots, I might chase that win like most of the active members in forum would do. It's really nice if you follow the winners screenshots thread, you will notice that we do chase wins and games after we see the proof that a particular game can pay big. This happens in theory so far, but you might end up winning 1000x your bet size. Would I recommend this win to chase? No, I wouldn't. I'd rather play Immortal Romance from Microgaming or Supe It Up or some other game. Or simply ask in forum, the guys would be happy to suggest the best game and best payout potentials, proven ones.

“Conga Party” is a game created by the Canadian company “Bluberi Gaming” and distributed through “Quickfire” platform belonging to Microgaming Software Systems Ltd.

The theme of this slot is based on the Cuban dance of African origin known as “Conga,” but taken from a tribal perspective, this because in the game dancers appear covered with a huge mask that allows only see their legs adorned with feathers, and additionally, rhythm of music is composed of guttural sounds and drums that give a mystical atmosphere to the game as seen on movies about aboriginal tribes.

This slot of 5 reels, 3 rows, and 30 paylines, is equipped with several special features, among which they are a round of 5 or 10 free spins; a wild reel that appears only on reel 4 but that has the ability to turn 1, 2 or 3 symbols into wilds by shooting some darts on the first 3 reels only; there is also a feature called “Mask Bonus” that can give us a prize up to 200x our total bet, but that in my opinion is extremely difficult to be triggered; and finally, my favorite feature, which is called “Conga Rock Bonus” and therein you must choose between many masks in order to gather 10 points (rocks) to move one level up to Mini, Minor and Major levels that award prizes of 50x, 100x and 750x our total bet respectively; personally my best feat on this round it was achieving the Mini level, but I have won awards at lower levels I also did consider satisfactory; however, I think the real reason why “Conga Rock Bonus” is my favorite round is because it is triggered relatively often compared with other features.

On the other hand, the base game does not really seem promising, for moments I seem to see only letters spinning on the reels and broadly arguably profits normally obtained during this phase are usually modest, but I also think that other rounds do a good job by supplying other forms of fun and being the main source of gains for the player in themselves.

In short, I think “Conga Party” is a pretty fun game, full of interesting features, that has the potential to satisfy even the most ambitious gamblers with prizes up to 1000x your total bet, so there is no reason not to try this video slot.

Conga Party slot is a mediocre game to me. It has a lot to offer but it does not show that. During the base game the payouts are not good and it is very hard to trigger any special feature.

This is a 5 reel slot with 30 pay lines. A golden mask, a toucan and a treasure chest are the high paying symbols in this game but even if you get these symbols the payouts are nothing special. You get 10 free spins if you land 3 “Spins” symbols on the second, the third and the fourth reel. This is very hard to trigger and I do not get why some games require symbols to appear on certain reel, like getting them on an active pay line is not difficult enough. If you manage to trigger the free spins you will see 3, 4 or 5 conga dancers and they have the power to trigger one extra feature.

The wild dancer appears only on the fourth reel and when it appears it expands and also fires darts to create more wilds. Two or more big blue mask symbols on the reel 1 and 5 trigger the mask bonus. There you have 20 masks from which you need to pick 5 and there is a possible win of 200 x bet. I triggered this feature but was not that lucky when I was picking the masks.

Conga rock bonus is the last feature of this game which is triggered randomly. So I do not get how can a game that has such a variety of features to offer does not pay at all. I tried this game once and I am not going to again. I believe that this is one of those ‘show off’ games where you read the payouts and they are packed really nicely just to lure you and to drop your balance to zero.
