Kenneth Must Die Slot Review

Kenneth Must Die Slot RTP, Details and Wager Limits

The base game action plays out on a 5-reel machine that’s set up in a 2x4x4x4x2 formation which combines to offer 480 ways to win. Create winners by landing 3, 4 or 5 matching symbols or wilds from left to right on adjacent reels, starting from reel 1.

Bet levels range from between 20p and £100 per spin. Autoplay is available in some territories and allows you to set up to 1,000 autospins. There’s also a turbo spin mode. Neither option is available to players in the UK.

What players everywhere can do is choose the maximum payout – either 10,000 x or 69,000 x stake. Choose the former and you’ll land the xHole, xNudge, and xWays features (which I’ll look at below) more often. The 69,000 x bet jackpot hits once every 40.4 million spins with the 10,000 x payout dropping once every 782,900 spins on average.

The Kenneth Must Die RTP is 96.04% which is just above average. Everything else in this slot has been turned up to 11, and so has the volatility which is insane. On average, the free spins hit once every 234 spins. This drops to one in 92 spins with the xBet activated. The hit rate is 21.06% which means a winner lands every 4.75 spins on average.

Theme: from picket fences to sex dungeons

At first glance, the visuals in Kenneth Must Die are as wholesome as apple pie. It’s all perfect blonde hair, shiny white teeth and luxury living. The reels are set within Kenneth’s McMansion. There you’ll find symbols including watches, belts, briefcases, suits, a baby, a boy, a girl, Kenneth’s wife and Kenneth himself (oh, and sex toys!). There are 3 equivalents of each symbol. There’s the suburban idyll version, the secret life (sex club) version and the symbol if it was Kenneth’s funeral.

Look out too for Kinky Ken and Kinky Wife, gimp and gimpier symbols, each of which has the potential to trigger a feature.

It’s all very bright, very shiny and very weird.

The Kenneth Must Die soundtrack has proper earworm potential and matches the visuals nicely. Nolimit City has really thrown the kitchen sink creating Kenneth Must Die and the design here is very impressive, no matter what you think of the theme.

Kenneth Must Die Bonus Features

Just like everything else in this slot, the features in Kenneth Must Die are outlandish and over the top. There’s a huge range of extras on offer here, and they deliver extremely volatile gameplay.

Big Balls Multiplier

The bottom row of symbols spin in from the right rather than from above and has a 1x, 2x or 3x multiplier attached. The symbols split according to their multiplier. For example, the 2x multiplier splits its symbol in 2, the 3x becomes the equivalent of 3 symbols. If the symbol forms part of a winning combination an avalanche then follows with the successful symbols blasted away and new ones replacing them. The Big Balls Multiplier then increases by 1x on the highest multiplier on this bottom reel.

Kinky Hookup

This triggers when Kinky Ken and Kinky Wife symbols land on the same spin. A patch between these two symbols transform into Ken, Wife or wild symbols and a new payout consideration is made.

Gimp Transformation

This activates when you land 2 Gimp symbols on the same spin. The Gimp symbol then transforms into an xWays, xNudge, wild, Kinky Kenneth, Kenneth, Kinky Wife or Wife symbol.

Gimpier Transformation

This triggers when the Gimpier symbol appears on reel 5. It transforms into Kinky Kenneth, Kinky Wife or a wild. If there’s an avalanche the Gimpier symbol respawns on its original position.

xWays

The xWays symbol can land in the bottom row and then transform into 2, 3 or 4 of a standard symbol. If more than one xWays symbol lands, they all transform into the same symbol. They’ll also benefit from the Big Balls Multiplier.

xNudge Wilds

When these special symbols land, they nudge upwards until they reach the top of the reel. Each upward nudge increases the value of a multiplier by 1x. Nudge over a standard multiplier for another 1x multiplier boost. Land more than one xNudge wild on the same reel and their multipliers are added together. xNudge wild multipliers on different reels are also combined.

xHole

This feature activates when the xHole symbol lands in the middle position of the middle reel. Symbols are sucked into the xHole and then spat back out again into new positions. These new symbols are split into between 2 and 8 standard symbols which greatly increases the number of ways to win. The xNudge also changes size and multiplier. Any Gimp or Gimpier symbols that are active receive a multiplier boost. The original xHole converts into a wild and a payout calculation with all the new symbols in position takes place.

Beefy Spins

Land 3 Gimp symbols on the same spin and you’ll trigger the Beefy Spins. Your reward is 8 free games. During the Beefy Spins, the Big Balls Multiplier doesn’t reset and standard wilds turn sticky. Land a Gimpier symbol and you’ll advance to the Beefier Spins and another 2 free spins are added to your total.

Beefier Spins

Trigger the Beefier Spins by landing 3 Gimp and 1 Gimpier symbol on the same spin. 9 free spins are the prize here, complete with the Beefy Spins extras plus sticky Nudging Wilds and Gimpier symbols. You can upgrade to the Beefiest Spins by landing an activated xHole symbol. An extra free spin is also awarded.

Beefiest Spins

The top bonus triggers when you land 3 Gimps, 1 Gimper and an xHole on the same spin. All the extras from the Beefy and Beefier Spins are in play during the 10 free spins here. The xHole also appears at the start of each spin.

Play Kenneth Must Die

Kenneth Must Die Slot

Nolimit City pushes the boundaries once more and there are some fantastic bonus features to enjoy. You’re either going to love it or hate it, there’s no in between. We love it.

Pros

• A ton of extras
• Choice of 10,000 x or 69,000 x max wins
• Superb theme

Cons

• Theme won't suit everyone
• Extremely volatile

Nolimit City has form for pushing things to the absolute limit with its slots. It’s hard to think of any other developer who would release a slot quite a blood curdling as Tombstone RIP. They’ve repeated the trick with Kenneth Must Die.

The theme is, shall we say, an acquired taste. The gimps, butt plugs and sex dungeon setting certainly won’t be for everyone. If that’s your bag though, then you’ll have a ball here.

The gameplay offers a huge amount of variety too. There’s so much going on here it can all feel a little overwhelming.

The numbers in Kenneth Must Die stack up well too. The ability to change the max win between 10,000 x and 69,000 x and alter how often the features land is a decent trade off too.

Is Nolimit City trying to be outrageous just for the sake of being controversial? Maybe. They’ve obviously chucked everything at Kenneth Must Die though, both in terms of design and gameplay. This is the ultimate Marmite slot that will amuse and horrify in equal measure. Love it or hate it, Kenneth Must Die will get people talking.
