You can stop autoplay is a single win exceeds a value of your choice, if your balance is lower than 0%, 50% or 75% or if higher than 150%, 200% or 500%.

The Deadwood RTP is 96.03%. It’s actually 96.02% but using the Nolimit Bonus feature increases it slightly. Being a high variance slot, wins will be small more often than not.

Theme – gunslingers are back in this volatile showdown

The Deadwood slot has a Wild West theme and is the sequel to the Tombstone slot (by Nolimit City). With superb high definition graphics, the soundtrack is gentle to begin with.

With a dusty Western street in the backdrop, you head to the notorious town of Deadwood. It’s what you’d expect from a slot game with this theme. If you click anywhere on the screen, bullet holes appear which is a pretty nice touch.

Symbols include stylised A, K, Q, J and 10 royals. You’ll also see shotguns, whiskey bottles, money safes, gold pocket watches and gold bullion bars. The gold bullion bars symbol is the highest value pays 0.25, 0.75 or 3.75 x your stake for 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

The Hunter wilds are represented by bounty hunters which substitute for all symbols bar the sheriff badge and scatter symbols. Here’s what each symbol pays:

Deadwood Bonus Features

Deadwood  has 6 bonus features. You have the Hunter xNudge Wild feature which sees the bounty hunter wilds nudge to become fully visible and increase the multiplier for each nudge. The sheriff badges also trigger the Shoot Out feature where low value symbols become wilds. Then there’s 3 free spins features. One of them sees the Hunter xNudge Wild feature trigger on every free spin with the Gunslinger Spins feature sees the multiplier increase infinitely. The best is the Shoot Out Free Spins feature where sheriff badges are locked so the Shoot Out feature applies on each free spin.

Hunter xNudge Wild feature

There are 3 bounty hunters in the Deadwood slot. Appearing 4-rows high, they wilds exist on reels 2, 3 and 4. When they appear, they will always nudge to become fully visible. With every step the Hunter wild nudges, the win multiplier increases by 1.

If several wild multipliers appears, they are added to each other for a total wild multiplier. The wilds substitute for all symbols bar the scatter and badge symbols.

Shoot Out feature

Look out for the sheriff badge symbol. When the sheriff badge appears on both reels 1 and 5 in the base game, you’ll trigger the Shoot Out feature. All low value symbols on the 3 middle reels will transform into wild symbols.

Free Spins features

The most important symbol is the scatter. 3 of them appearing simultaneously will give you the choice of 2 free spins features with 8 free spins in each.

• Hunter Spins feature: with 8 hunter spins awarded, at least 1 Hunter wild is guaranteed to land on every free spin. This then triggers the Hunter xNudge Wild feature with multipliers. Sheriff badges can also land with each one adding 1 more free spin to your tally.
• Gunslinger Spins feature: with 8 gunslinger spins awarded, this is a more volatile option. You challenge the gunslingers head on and go for the unlimited win multiplier that remains for the whole feature. Any Hunter wild symbol landing will activate the unlimited win multiplier. Any sheriff badge landing will give you 1 additional free spins each time.

Shoot Out Free Spins feature

This will give you 10 free spins in the mode you choose: the Shoot Out Gunslinger Spins or Shoot Out Hunter Spins. Once in, sheriff badges are locked in position which then triggers the Shoot Out feature on every free spin. This means all low value symbols act as wilds on the 3 middle reels.

Nolimit Bonus feature

If you don’t want to wait to trigger the bonus features, you can use the Nolimit Bonus feature. This can be found in other Nolimit City slots. Using it will increase the RTP by 0.1% up to 96.03%. Unavailable to UK players, you buy your way into the 2 free spins feature or the Shoot Out Free Spins feature:

Deadwood Review Summary – superb from Nolimit City once again

Tombstone was a popular game. Nolimit City has upped their game with the Deadwood slot as this is bigger and better in many ways. It has more bonus features and the max win has increased (from 11,456 x stake to 13,950 x stake).

Deadwood is also much more volatile so will appeal to hardcore slot players. The soundtrack is also loved by many and for good reason. The bigger wins will come in the Gunslinger Spins feature due to the increasing multiplier.

Overall, Deadwood stands out in a crowded Wild West market and remains 1 of Nolimit City’s most popular offerings.

If you want more Wild West action, there are plenty of games to choose from. Dead or Alive 2 by NetEnt is considered the best and comes with 111,111 x stake wins from 1 of the features. Another option is El Paso Gunfight (from Nolimit City) which offers up to 43,332 ways to win and 44,440 x stake max wins.
