El Paso Gunfight Slot Review

El Paso Gunfight Slot RTP, Details and Wager Limits

The El Paso Gunfight slot comes with 5 reels and gives you the option of 2 stance setups. You can play a high volatility option or the extreme volatility option. In the middle of the screen, there is a switch which you can flick to choose the setup you desire.

As a result, the number of symbols on each reel differs which affects the maximum number of ways to win:

In both case, the number of ways to win can be as low as 216. You only get the bigger amounts when the reels are fully expanded (more details below). To form a winning combination you need 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols starting from reel 1 across adjacent reels.

Stake levels range from 25p to £50 per spin meaning it caters to all pockets. Click on the Dollar sign to see all available bets. In some countries, there’s an Autoplay function which allows up to 100 autospins with balance and single win limits. This isn’t available in the UK from October 2021 by the way.

The El Paso Gunfight RTP is 96.06% which is just above the 96% slots average. This is a 94.24% RTP version but the higher one will be offered at UK slot sites. However, the volatility is considered extreme (10/10). As mentioned above, you can choose between high and extreme volatility options.

There’s a 28.48% hit frequency rate meaning just over a quarter of spins will result in a winning combination. Finally, it has the payouts to match the high variance as the max win is 44,440 x your total stake per spin. The chances of winning this is 1 in 43 million spins though.

Theme – join the best gunslinger of the ol’ Wild West

The El Paso Gunfight slot is has a Wild West theme and is based the best gunslinger, Dallas Stoudenmire. He was gunfighter who loved his booze, had a massive moustache and used dual Smith & Wesson .44 calibre revolvers. With a deadly reputation, he gained fame in his part of the Four Dead in Five Seconds Gunfight that occurred in El Paso (Texas) in April 1881.

Set in a saloon bar with a cabinet of liquor bottles, you will notice the traditional saloon soundtrack which is quite high tempo. Visually, it’s well executed and has the same feel as Nolimit City’s Deadwood.

On the reels you will see A, K, Q, J and 10 royals which don’t have a Western style. The 4 higher value symbols include characters Bystander, local ranch owner and castle rustler Johnny Hale, constable Gus Krempkau and Marshall George Campbell. The highest value symbol is Marshall George Campbell who pays 0.4, 1 or 6 x your total stake for 3, 4 or 5 in combination. Here’s a list of payouts by symbol:

Symbol	Payouts
10	3, 4 or 5 = 0.08, 0.2 or 0.8 x stake
J	3, 4 or 5 = 0.12, 0.24 or 0.84 x stake
Q	3, 4 or 5 = 0.16, 0.28 or 0.88 x stake
K	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 0.32 or 0.92 x stake

El Paso Gunfight Mobile

Finally, and as with all Nolimit City slots, El Paso Gunfight can be played on mobile, tablet and desktop devices. Optimised using HTML5 technology, the graphics and animations look superb even on handheld devices.

El Paso Gunfight Bonus Features

Nolimit City offers you the chance to play 8 bonus features in the El Paso Gunfight xNudge slot. There are nudges with increasing multipliers, transforming symbols, up to 43,332 ways to win, free spins with Jumping Wilds and multipliers and locked wilds with multipliers. So saddle up and load up your guns.

Stoudenmire xNudge Wilds feature

Firstly you have the Stoudenmire xNudge Wilds feature. Stoudenmire xNudge Wilds are 3-row high wild symbols which appear on the 3 middle reels. When they appear, they will always nudge to appear fully. For every nudge, the win multiplier increases by 1. Multiple wild multipliers can land which sees the multiplier values added to each other. This means a potential win multiplier of 9x (3x times 3).

Deputy and Marshall Raid feature

The Deputy and Marshall Raid feature is activated when the Deputy or Marshall Badge land. There’s a slight difference in what happens:

• Deputy Badge: transforms low value symbols into 1 randomly chosen low value symbol as well as itself
• Marshall Badge: transforms all high value symbols into 1 randomly chosen high value symbol as well as itself
• Deputy + Marshall Badges: the above applies and the game area opens up to 4x3x3x3x4 and the 2 badges become wild

Gunfight Spins feature

The Gunfight Spins feature is triggered when 3 scatters land on the middle reels. 8 free spins are awarded. Before they begin, you choose your stance setup (High Volatility or Extreme Volatility).

Once in, the triggering scatters transform into Jumping Wilds that jump to a new position for every free spin. If a Stoudenmire wild symbol lands on a reel with a Jumping Wild, the multiplier doubles. An extra free spin is awarded is a Deputy or Marshall badge lands. It can also trigger the Deputy of Marshall Gunfight Spins features:

Deputy of Marshall Gunfight Spins features

In the base game, landing 3 scatters in the middle reels and 1 of the badges will trigger either the 2 following features with 9 free spins:

• Deputy Gunfight Spins feature: 3 scatters + Deputy Badge
• Marshall Gunfight Spins feature: 3 scatters + Marshall Badge

When you trigger from the base game, the stance can be chosen. Once in, the triggering scatters become Jumping Wilds which can lead to multipliers. The Badge symbols landing will see low and high value symbols transform. However, the transformed symbols remain in position for the rest of the feature.

Drunken Gundfiguth&r Spins feature

The Drunken Gundfiguth&r Spins feature is activated when 3 scatters and both Marshall and Deputy badges land on a base game spin. You will be rewarded with 10 free spins on a 4x3x3x3x4 reel area with 5 Jumping Wilds. This is because the triggering scatters and 2 badges become Jumping Wilds. These jump position on every free spin.

Now, landing a Stoudenmire wild on a reel with a Jumping Wild will double its multiplier with each Jumping Wild. Furthermore, the Jumping Wild is removed and a sticky Stoudenmire wild locks on it’s reel with the multiplier for the duration of the feature.

4 Dead in 5 Seconds feature

If you land all 5 characters, including the Stoudenmire wild, on a base game spin will trigger the 4 Dead in 5 Seconds feature. A respin is awarded where the Stoudenmire wild expands to cover all 3 middle reels.

Nolimit Bonus feature

In some countries, there’s a Nolimit City Bonus feature which allows you to buy your way into the bonus features. There are a number of options which each come with their own stake multiplier price. Not available in the UK unfortunately, the options range from 80 to 800 x your total stake:

El Paso Gunfight Review Summary – serious gunslinging action

The El Paso Gunfight slot takes on a wild ride to the Wild West. Superbly designed, it follows in the footsteps of Deadwood which has a similar theme and uses the xNudge mechanic. I personally think it’s more intense in the way it looks and feels.

With so many bonus features, 8 in total, it can be a tad confusing. I recommend you play the El Paso Gunfight demo version available above. A lot depends on whether you play the high volatility or extreme volatility stance.

All the free spins features are good but the best extra is the Drunken Gundfiguth&r Spins feature as you play on an expanded reel area with 5 Jumping Wilds. Just hope sticky Stoudenmire wilds land on the right reels to increase the multiplier.

If you manage that, you have a better chance of landing the 44,440 x stake max win. This potential payout is higher than what is offered in Deadwood and Tombstone (Nolimit City’s other Wild West themed slot).

If it’s big wins you’re after though, San Quentin (by Nolimit City) offers 150,000 x stake max wins per spin. Nolimit City has since released Tombstone RIP which comes with 300,000 x bet top payouts. Yes, you read that right.

Overall, El Paso Gunfight takes the xNudge mechanic to a whole different level. With most Wild West themed slots being simple, this is anything but. You will certainly need to play it a number of times to familiarise yourself with how the badges, Jumping Wilds and Stoudenmire wilds work.

One thing is for certain, El Paso Gunfight xNudge is unique. Does this establish Nolimit City as an innovator or have they gone too far this time? Only time will tell.
