Deadwood is a thrilling Nolimit City slot that fires on all cylinders, with Wild West theme and an extreme variance

Software: Nolimit City

Paylines: 576 ways to win

RTP and variance: 96.02%-96.12%, Extremely High variance

Maximum win: 13,950 x the total bet

Betting range: $€0.20 – $€100

Bonus features: Hunter Wild, Shoot Out Feature, Buy a Bonus, Free Spins, Shoot Out Free Spins

Casino Hipster verdict: Blazing!

Nolimit City was already more than successful with Tombstone, so to come up with the follow-up, Deadwood made a lot of sense.

What’s also truly special, is that you have two different Buy a Bonus options here. The first one gives you instant access to the Free Spins for 71x the original wager. But for 750x the bet, you have access to the Shoot Out Free Spins. You are talking about something HEFTY, here!

In terms of prize potential, this slot is comparable to the famous Dead or Alive slot. The maximum prize is 13,950x the bet.

In short, let’s not wait any longer!

Deadwood slot – Gameplay and Features

The main game has five reels with a 3x4x4x3 setup, and here, the win all ways principle applies with 576 ways to win.

The premium symbols are the golden bars, a golden pocket watch, a bag of dollars, whiskey and a rifle. The lower symbols (which by the way can change into wilds thanks to the Shoot Out Feature) are the usual card symbols: A, K, Q, J and 10.

In the main game, you have two features that are very spectacular but also very lucrative.

The Hunter Wild and the Shoot Out Features

You have the Hunter Wild, which is a wild symbol of 4-rows of symbols. It appears on reels 2, 3 or 4. But the Hunter Wild is nudging. If the wild doesn’t appear entirely on the reel, it will “nudge” or move on the reel until it is entirely on the reel.

Every nudge that is required increases the multiplier by +1. You can get up to 3 nudges, so the maximum multiplier is x4.

You also have the Shoot Out feature. If you spin Sheriff’s Badges on reels 1 and 5, all lower symbols in reels 2, 3 and 4 become wild symbols!

Free Spins – a choice between 8 Gunslinger Spins or 8 Hunter Spins

You can activate the free spins by spinning three scatters. You can also buy them using the Buy a Bonus Feature for 71x the original bet (up to $100).

With the 8 Hunter spins, you are guaranteed to have the Hunter Wild per spin. The advantage is that you almost always get a prize here. The risk is high. Each Sheriff Star you spin, during the free spins, yields you an extra free spin.

With the 8 Gunslinger spins, you have the advantage of a sticky multiplier. The multiplier increases when you spin a Hunter Wild. The disadvantage is that you don’t get the Hunter Wild every turn (not guaranteed).

You’re fortunate and happy if you spin many nudging Hunter Wilds in the early stages of free spins bonus. If you get a big combo afterwards, you can start to count your winnings. The risk here is exceptionally high.

Shoot Out Free Spins – still, the choice between 8 Gunslinger Spins or 8 Hunter Spins BUT NOW WITH THE SHOOT OUT FEATURE.

Here the same recipe applies as with the Free Spins, but here you also have the Shoot Out Feature, where the lower symbols on reels 2, 3 and 4 change into Wilds if you spin a Sheriff Star on reels 1 and 5.

Needless to explain that this is thrilling and, in some cases, incredibly lucrative.

The Shoot Out Free spins you get through the main game if you spin a Sheriff Star on reels 1 and 5 AND 3 scatters on the three middle reels. That chance is minimal.

The price you pay for it with the Buy a Bonus feature is no less than 750x the original bet (of no more than $18).

This hefty amount already indicates two things:

• that you will rarely get these free spins through the main game.
• That the prize potential must be ENORMOUSLY BRUTAL

Payout Rate (RTP)

The RTP is 96.02%-96.03% in the main game.

If you buy the Free Spin via the Buy a Bonus feature, the RTP is slightly higher: 96.06% to 96.11%. Of the Shoot Out Free spin, the RTP is even higher: 96.08% to 96.12%.

Deadwood slot – the variance (volatility) is exceptionally high.

Nolimit City already indicates that the variance is extremely high. I do not doubt that.

It is possible to take prizes of several thousand times the bet via the Shoot Out Free Spins. You can also activate these via the main game.

Deadwood slot – who will like the slot? And who won’t?

This slot is suitable for all players who appreciate its beauty and challenging gameplay.

You have to be willing to take a risk. If you’d rather play conservatively, this slot is way too volatile for you.

You can find Deadwood at all the best Nolimit City casinos, where you can play this entertaining online slot for free or for real money.
