Dead, Dead or Deader Slot review

Nolimit City, renowned for its audacious and boundary-pushing slot designs, delves into the darker side of frontier life with its Dead, Dead or Deader slot. This game continues the provider’s tradition of high-volatility slots, offering players a chance to experience the lawless West through innovative mechanics and a gritty aesthetic. With a maximum payout of 19,349 times the bet, the slot challenges players to navigate its treacherous landscape in pursuit of substantial rewards.

Betting & Bonus Options

Set on a 5x3 grid with 243 ways to win, the game is accessible to a variety of players due to its wide betting range. With high volatility, an RTP of 96.09%, and numerous bonus features, this slot promises a thrilling ride with huge winning potential of up to 19,349x the stake.

In Nolimit City’s style, the game makes little effort to appear friendly, featuring a very grim, bleak, dark-looking setting with red and black spattered over the grid. Truth to be told, the game’s theme is about shooting and hanging, which is hard to present in a good light. 

Black is about the only colour used to paint the pay symbols that include irons, a jug, a star, pistols, rolays from A to 10, and a creepy silhouette of a man that is the highest paying regular symbol. Five of a kind Wilds represented by the skull award equal payments as this card. 

Speaking of Wilds, the first Wild to land on a reel comes with a 1x multiplier. New Wilds falling on the following reel will have a multiplier of 2x and so on. 

In addition to regular Wilds, there is also an xNudge Wild. It is a stacked symbol that can only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4. xNudge Wilds always nudge to be fully in view, covering their reel and each nudge increases the win multiplier by +1. These multipliers are additive. 

After xNudge Wilds nudging and becoming fully in view, the following actions can be randomly activated:

• The Hanging - At the bottom of the stacked xNudge Wild, there is a guy that gets hanged randomly, awarding a respin with the sticky xNudge Wild.
• The Deadlock -When the respin is over, the hanged guy may randomly get the Deadlock, which doubles the multiplier and makes the xNudge sticky for another respin. After each respin, the multiplier shows the possible upcoming respins xNudge Wild multiplier.
• The Dropout - If the guy at the bottom of the xNudge gets hanged but falls out, the respin isn’t awarded. If a Dropout occurs after a respin, the multiplier value resets to its former value with no respin awarded. 

Dead & Deader Free Spins

Scatter symbols can land on all reels but the first one. If only 2 Scatters land in the base game, they will transform into Wilds with multipliers. But hitting 3 Scatters will trigger the Dead Spins feature. 

Dead Spins round awards 12 free spins. xNudge Wilds are always sticky for at least pne additional spin except the last spin. The x Nudge multiplier gets doubled immediately before the next spin starts. If a Scatter lands on reel 5, Dead Spins are upgraded to Deader Spins. 

The other way of triggering Deader Spins is by having 4 Scatters in view at the same time, awarding 12 free spins. This bonus round has the same mechanic as the previous one, with one major difference - the sticky xNudge Wild multiplier gets tripled instead of doubled. 

Just Die Already activates when the max win of 19,349x the stake is achieved. This can also happen in the main game by landing a stacked Casket symbol on any reel. However, a partial Casket is worth nothing as it is a dead symbol. 

Besides quite graphic and uncompromising visuals and strong bonus features flying left and right, Nolimit City is also known for its Booster and Bonus Buy options. This slot is no exception, as players can jump straight into the action, but at a cost.

Roshtein's Take

I really love and often play this slot, which has brought me some massive wins. Most of the time in Nolimit City slots, you don’t know what’s going on. There are so many features that it takes a few times to catch on. However, since big wins are coming frequently, does it really matter? 

In that sense, Dead, Dead or Deader slot isn’t that complicated. The core gameplay revolves around xNudge multipliers, and they up the win potential drastically. I said it once, I’ll say it again - this game is simple, but genius!
