The Crypt Slot Review
Mathematics and I aren’t friends but crunching numbers is a skill that does come in handy sometimes. Like when you need to calculate how many women Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister shagged. 🎸🎤
The man himself reckons that number stands at 1,000 and mathematics bears him out. You see, Lemmy gigged for like 50 years, which is 600 months, right? If you divide 1,000 women by 600 you get 1.666 women a month – does that mean he slept with a full-grown woman and a little person? 🤔 Not an impossible feat for the wart-wearing womanizer. 👐🍈🍈
At this point, I hear you ask: “Oh wise and infinitely creative one, why are we discussing the bedroom antics of the rock and roll legend that is Lemmy?” The answer to that, dear player, will be revealed as we work through The Crypt slot from Nolimit City. 🎶
Gameplay
I get as giddy as a schoolgirl when a new Nolimit City slot gets released. Yes, I know their games are hectically complex and carry extreme volatility rates – as is the case with The Crypto slot – but I don’t care.
I’m a big fan of the fact that the studio constantly pushes boundaries with their subject matter and the more people they offend, the happier it makes me. Yes, I’m that kinda asshole. 🤘
The paying symbols in this game are fashioned after people you might know – just in zombie form: Elvis, Curt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Amy Winehouse, a character that might be Jim Morrison, and an awesome Lemmy Kilmister.
It’s Hendrix who inspired the kick-ass guitar riffs for the soundtrack you’ll hear when the features come into play. Finally; a game I don’t have to put on mute.
The setting we find ourselves in is a graveyard that would make Edgar Allan Poe proud – as you’d expect, given the title of this gruesome game.
The grid is a 6x4-reel setup and The Crypt slot has an 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. of 96.05%, a max multiplier of 27,000x, and a max win of €378,000. Just as we’d expect. There are mercifully no currency limitations so you can play with whichever money you prefer.
Winning symbols are permanently removed so that the empty spots can be filled by new symbols that drop down from the top – a.k.a. the cascade feature.
Features
XNUDGE WILDS:
When the Grim Reaper Wild hits, it’ll drop to the bottom position on its reel; thereby boosting the win multiplier for each step it drops. Combining the xNudge Wild with an xWays symbol results in multipliers of up to 6x.
The Wild will fully expand to take over its reel and replaces all symbols other than Scatters. Land more than one Wild simultaneously and their values will be added together for an even bigger win multiplier.
XWAYS:
This Mystery symbol can hold 2 or 3 symbols of the same type inside it and can expand a reel up to 6 symbols in height. It’s also possible to land multiple xWays on a spin. It’s this feature that allows the game to offer up to 46,656 ways to win.
RESURRECTION (FREE) SPINS:
You’ll trigger this round by landing 3 Scatter symbols and for that, you’ll get 10 spins as your reward. The spins can also be re-triggered with each newly-landed Scatter giving you 3 more spins.
At least one xWays symbol is guaranteed to land during Resurrection Spins and every 4th winning cascade sees a random rock legend turn into a Wild for the remainder of the round. Oh, and this action awards 2 more spins as well.
Wins that include the highest-paying symbol get you a 1x increase on that symbol’s multiplier.
XBET:
For a fee of 3x per spin (do bear that in mind) you’ll be 5x more likely to trigger the Resurrection Spins feature.
BUY BONUS:
You can buy Resurrection Spins for a fee:
- 10 spins will cost 100x
- 13 spins will cost 200x
- 16 spins will cost 500x
There’s also a Lucky Draw option which costs 225x your bet but you could randomly win 10 spins (35% chance of that), 13 spins (45%), 16 spins (15%), or 19 spins (5%).
Performance
Trust me, I played this game over a gazillion spins and experienced no issues. Do note though that it times out really quickly.
Maximum Win
Face your fears and you could be rewarded with an unholy top prize of €378,000. Helping it on its way is the astonishing 27,000x max multiplier. If your total win exceeds that multiplier, it will immediately be awarded to you and the game round will end.
Betting starts at €0.20 and is capped at €14, which is mercifully not a huge outlay should you wish to chase down that top prize.
Conclusion
First off, the theme of this latest release isn’t nearly as potentially offensive as what usually comes out of the Nolimit City stable. 😭 But it’s still cool to see zombie versions of rock stars on the reels rather than stupid fruit or jokers.
I also felt that the features weren’t nearly as intricate and bewildering as usual and that’s a good thing. It means that most players should be able to get a grip on how things work pretty quickly and by doing so, the studio has broadened the game’s appeal.
The studio might have toned it down a notch with the complexity but there was no such easing off when it came to how challenging the game is, or how tough it is to make bank. There is a lot of action on the reels in the base game, so at least boredom is never an issue.
You can happily play The Crypt slot on the go as the grid fills a mobile phone screen from side to side in portrait mode, and the prominent symbols make seeing what’s going on very easy.
The Crypt slot is yet another incredible offering from the notorious studio, but I’m happy to say that the game goes beyond shock value to deliver an epic experience.
