Tractor Beam slot review (Nolimit City)

The last couple of years, Nolimit City has been expanding its business quite nicely, making lots of new fans, along the way

This slots provider is perhaps not the most productive, but they do release entertaining slots. We play BBQ Frenzy, Ice Ice Yeti and of course the fab Tombstone with great regularity.

Tractor Beam is a video slot about space aliens, UFOs and farm animals kidnapped with these tractor beams.

The game is set somewhere in the North- East of North America. One of those places where you never encounter anybody is pitch dark and every once in a while you’ll spot a farm. A place where strange things will happen on occasion: sometimes a bunch of chickens disappear, and other times there are suddenly a couple of cows missing.

Tractor Beam gameplay and features

Nolimit City has 5 reels with 3 rows of symbols and 20 fixed paylines.

You can start playing with $€ 0.20, all the way up to $€ 100, per spin.

As far as variance goes, Nolimit City is on the low side of medium. The maximum payout is 300 x the total bet.

The theoretical payout rate is 96.01%. Not amazingly high, but certainly not bad.

Symbols and payouts

There are four farm animals which are the premium symbols.

These are the cow, the pig, the sheep and the chicken. Spin 5 the same of these animals on an active payline and you win a prize somewhere between 7.5 x and 15 x the bet.

A screen full of cows is the highest you can achieve: this will net you 20 x 15 = 300 times the total bet.

There are also four low-value symbols: the card symbols J, Q, K and A. These are called organic symbols in the game, and you’ll win 6 x the total bet if you manage to spin five identical ones. That is quite a lot compared to the premium symbols.

And finally, there is the Wild Symbol, a yellow danger sign depicting an alien head. 5 Wilds on an active payline are worth 15 x the total bet.

Bonus Features of the Tractor Beam slot

Tractor Beam has no less than three bonus features, and the funny thing is: the two mini-features can often earn you more than the free spin bonus.

The two mini-features are activated randomly:

Clone Attack Feature: 1 of the animals is cloned and appears stacked on several reels. After which new symbols are spun.

Beam Em Up Feature: all the low-value symbols and scatters are removed from the reels, and you receive a spin with only the high-value symbols and wilds.

Abduction Spins: win up to 12 free spins.

You win the free spin bonus when you spin 3 or more scatters.

3, 4 or 5 scatters will get you 7, 9 or 12 so-called “Abduction Spins”.

It is possible to get rid of symbols during the free spins by making winning combinations with them. After that, they disappear from the reels, meaning fewer symbols are left and, thus, increasing your chances of winning.

The best-case scenario is to eliminate as many low-value symbols from the game quickly, leaving you with mostly high-value symbols and wilds to play with.

If you spin scatter symbols, you will receive an extra free spin for every scatter. After that the scatter is removed from the game, so you don’t want to spin it too early. Thus increasing your chances to spin multiple scatters.

Our verdict on the Tractor Beam video slot

Once again Tractor Beam is a very entertaining Nolimit City slot, who are well on their way to becoming a major player in the online casino realm.

Their bonus features are always original and inventive, and the themes of their slots are continually developed to perfection.

3.5 out of 5 stars.
