Serial Slot Review
Hold onto your body parts – the Bodycam Butcher is on the loose, and I’m as excited as a vestal virgin on the eve of being released from her decades-long vow of chastity.
You see, I studied Psychology and have this thing for serial killers. Like, not in a sick way – I’m not advocating that people should run around slicing bits off each other.
I’m just fascinated by the mindset of people like Jeff Dahmer, Gacy, and Peter Kürten (don’t Google the latter if you ever want to sleep again. Trust me on this).
OK, I can’t wait any longer – let’s get elbow-deep in gore with Serial slot from Nolimit City!
Gameplay
I’m going to keep this section short and sweet because if you know Nolimit City games, they’re chock-full of features and I’m sure you don’t want to wade through the iGaming version of War and Peace.
There are more than 243 ways to win on Serial slot, the RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.
RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is 96.07%, and… wait for it… the volatility has been set to “extreme.” Oh yeah! And that means the max win clocks in at a mind-numbing €374,000!
The reel setup is 5-7-7-7-5 but in the base game, you start with 3-3-3-3-3.
The game looks blood-curdlingly fantastic on a mobile phone, too. The 5-reel grid is large enough to see the symbols perfectly, and in portrait mode, there’s far less background to distract you (so that orientation is my favorite).
Another good bit of news is that there are no currency limitations, so you fiat and crypto players can scare the living bejesus out of yourselves in equal measure.
Features
ENHANCER CELLS:
These are designated by the crime-scene tape at the top and bottom of the reels, and you’ll activate them when you hit a re-spin. When you do, the Enhancer Cells open up and one of the following will land:
Wilds: These are just regular Wilds
xNudge Wilds: these are Stacked WildsUnlike fully expanded Wilds, which is a single Wild that takes over an entire reel, Stacked Wilds will appear as individual symbols stacked one on top of another. They can take over a reel but don’t always have to., and they’ll always nudge fully into view. When they do, they’ll bump up the multiplier by 1x. They only appear on reels 2 to 4
xWays: These reveal 2 to 4 symbols of the same kind; any paying symbol; and if more than one xWays symbols land, then all of them will reveal the same symbol
Character symbols: These will be any of the high-paying symbols
RE-SPINS:
Winning symbols become sticky and give you a re-spin. If a re-spin improves a win, it’ll award an additional re-spin. And as I mentioned, re-spins will crack open the Enhancer Cells.
XSPLIT WILD:
These are 2x Wild symbols that you’ll only see on the last reel. And the symbol will split others on the same row into two – even Scatters, xNudge, and xWays symbols.
XWAYS:
Landing 2 Scatters – which only appear on reels 2 to 4 and take the form of a missing person poster – will see them transformed into xWays symbols. Alternatively, xWays will only appear in Enhancer Cells.
xWays turn into regular paying symbols and reveal 2 to 4 of the same symbols.
INFECTIOUS XWAYS:
Revealed xWays symbols will infect all the other symbols of the same type so that they all end up the same size.
XBET:
Using the xBet will cost you 20% but it’ll guarantee you a Scatter on reel 2.
BONUS MODES:
You can buy one of three Bonus modes:
The Search: The cost is 78x your bet. You’ll trigger it organically when you land 3 Scatters and extra spots will open up in the Enhancer Cells
The Kill: The cost is 480x your bet. You’ll need to land 3 Scatters and 1 xSplit symbol to initiate this one organically. The xSplit will become a Wild on reel 5
Lucky Draw: The cost is 279x your bet, and you’ll get a 70% chance of landing The Search, or a 30% chance of cracking The Kill
XBIZARRE:
If you rack up a win that’s more than 18,700x, you’ll get a 50/50 chance of getting an extra 18,700x multiplier – not once, but up to 3 times! I said goddamn!
Performance
I played Serial slot on my iPhone and MacBook Pro, and it worked perfectly on the two devices. Safari also worked a treat, but it didn’t like Chrome as it kept crashing that browser.
Having said that, and after extensive investigation, it appeared to be a me problem, as others had no issues when playing the game on Chrome.
Maximum Win
Nolimit City has given us two gifts – the first is the behemoth of a max win, which comes in at €374,000. The second is the phenomenal 74,800x multiplier, and the upshot is that you’ll only need to bet at €5 for a shot at the top prize.
You could bet from €0.20 but then you might miss out on a sh*tload of money, and no one wants that, right?
Conclusion
Nolimit City games aren’t for newbs – let’s just make that clear from the get-go. There are far too many complicated features, and the volatility rate will freak most newcomers out. For the rest of us, they’re an absolute joy!
Look, the studio doesn’t know how to create a rubbish game so it’s almost a foregone conclusion that anything they produce will hit a home run, and Serial slot is no exception.
They’re also the studio that will foray into the realm of serial killers as a theme for a slot. I love that they’re constantly pushing boundaries and aren’t afraid to potentially offend.
Nolimit City always ensures that its features work with their chosen themes, rather than merely rehashing old ones. In this case, even the extreme volatility dovetails neatly with the brutality of the serial killer theme. It’s sheer genius – that’s all I’m going to say.
