Nolimit City is a slot developer based in Sweden. The studio is relatively new – releasing its first game in 2013 – but has already created some of the most memorable slots of recent years. Nolimit City is also responsible for highly innovative features that other slot developers are quick to copy – the xNudge being the latest example. Here are 7 of the best Nolimit City slots as of 2020.
Punk Rocker
A garish and riotous tribute to the musical era of late 70’s London, Punk Rocker’s 5 reels offer a total of 46,656 ways to win. As well as monkeys, knuckle-dusters and Doctor Marten boots, symbols include anarchic versions of Kim Jong-un, the Mona Lisa and Winston Churchill, who is worth 6x for 5 of a kind. The expanding xWays mystery feature makes a welcome appearance in the base game, and like many Nolimit City slots, Punk Rocker comes with 2 free spin rounds. The Civil War free spins feature 4 jumping wilds and modifiers which include a 25x multiplier, altogether rewarding up to 15,000x. The attention to detail of Punk Rocker, allied with the wealth of features and serious payout potential, make this slot one of the standout releases of 2020 so far.
Tombstone
Tombstone slot is a Wild West-themed casino game that came out at the start of 2019. Thanks to extreme coverage by the most popular streamers, Tombstone was the game that made many slot fans first sit up and take notice of Nolimit City. The combination of spaghetti western music, beautiful graphics, unusual 2x3x3x3x2 reels and 108 ways to win sets this slot apart, while the impressive features make it worth playing. Chief among these are the Bounty spins, which combine sticky wilds and unlimited multipliers to create a huge potential for big wins. Tombstone won so many plaudits that a sequel was inevitable, and Nolimit City duly obliged in 2020…
Deadwood
This sequel to the Tombstone slot, Deadwood takes us back to the wild west of saloons and gunslingers. This time, the reels offer 576 ways to win, and the symbols include shotguns, gold watches, bottles of liquor and gold bars. Nolomit City’s xNudge makes an appearance, this time in the shape of a gnarled hunter wild. A sheriff badge landing on reels 1 and 5 are enough to trigger a shootout feature, where any low-paying symbol on reels 2 to 4 are converted into wilds. Deadwood comes with a total of 3 free spins rounds. Landing 3 buffalo skulls allows players to choose between a highly volatile Gunslinger version and a slightly more restrained Hunter version. The max payouts of 13,950x come into play during the Shoot Out free spins round, which can be triggered in the base game or during the Gunslinger/Hunter free spins. Deadwood’s potential for big wins and engrossing features certainly make it a worthy sequel to Tombstone.
Harlequin Carnival
Harlequin Carnival hit the casinos just in time for 2020’s carnival season, and the elegant slot certainly manages to evoke the style and intrigue of a Venice masquerade ball. As well as the characters dressed as the moon, sun and cats, the key symbol to keep an eye out for is the masked lady in the red-and-black harlequin dress, who acts as both the wild and the scatter. When she makes an appearance in her wild mode, she expands to fill her reel, triggers the xNudge mechanic, and when she is done prancing across the reels, finally triggers a respins feature. Responsible for most of your big wins in the base game, this lady will always be a welcome sight. In scatter mode, 3 of a kind triggers a bonus round which starts off with 8 free spins. And here, this harlequin symbol comes up with the goods once again, as she first appears with a 3x multiplier, then xNudges her way across the reels, increasing this multiplier to a maximum of 7x. Harlequin carnival is one of those slots which manages to combine compelling gameplay with the potential for big wins.
Pixies v Pirates
The action on Pixies v Pirates takes place on the deck of a pirate ship, where the 6 reels are covered with beautiful and fun cartoon symbols of – you guessed it – pixies and pirates. Although the theme is a little silly, the slot gameplay more than makes up for it. It starts off with 729 ways to win, with the red pirate and yellow pixie symbols providing the best value in the base game – with 300-coin payouts for 6 of a kind. An xWays mystery chest feature expands the reels to offer 11664 ways to win, and Pixies v Pirates also features that trusty old xNudge mechanic. These two features also play a part in the bonus round of 6 free spins, where you can choose between the Pixie Queen or the Pirate Captain. What is more, if your chosen character appears more than its counterpart during the free spins, then the round is retriggered. With so much going on in this slot, the high variance never gets boring, and with a max payout of 11,000x up for grabs, Pixies v Pirates is a game for both slot veterans and casual fans.
Fruits
The world of fruit is a popular go-to theme for slot developers as the vibrant colours make for a cheerful and fun atmosphere. Nolimit City’s Fruits slot is one of the best in this genre. It comes with a standard 4×3 grid comprising strawberries, oranges, apples and blackberries, with a 2×2 grid to the left-hand side, which comes into play during the bonus round, while an uplifting EDM tune continually hums away in the background. Fruits has an impressive array of features, including a mystery wrapper which randomly triggers in the base game, filling the reels with the same symbol. It also comes with two different kinds of free spin rounds – a lightning round and a sticky fruit spins feature. While the payouts from each aren’t huge (just x500), Fruits slot is the kind of low variance fun you could play while sitting in the garden on a summer’s day.
Thor: Hammer Time
Like the best Norse-themed games, Thor: Hammertime is an austere-looking, no-nonsense slot. The 5-reel action takes place in an icy forest, where – beside runes – the premium symbols include axes, rings, and goblets. That said, it is fitting that it’s Thor’s hammer itself, which is the most valuable, paying 15x for 5 of a kind. Features-wise, Nolimit City spoils slot fans with no less than four bonuses. The best of them is the Asgard free spins round, which comes with extra spins, sticky wilds, sticky reels, and enough multipliers to bring decent wins. While the maximum payout of 2328x isn’t huge, this medium variance slot is a great choice for Norse fans in search of entertaining gameplay.
It’s clear that Nolimit City is a talented games developer, and many of these games have become firm favourites of the world’s top streamers, as well as the wider slot community. Which of these Nolimit City slots are you favourites?
