Theme – sharpen your axes and load up your guns for an epic showdown

With a Native American theme, the Little Bighorn slot is about the Battle of the Little Bighorn, which according to Wikipedia, is known as the Battle of the Greasy Grass or Custer’s Last Stand. Taking play from June the 25^th to the 26^th in 1876, it was a battle between combined forces of the Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes against the 7^th Cavalry Regiment of the United States army.

Set along the Little Bighorn River in the Crow Indian Reservation in south-eastern Montana territory, the Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes battled for history, identity and freedom as they won overwhelmingly. With a Wild West feel, the soundtrack is typical and sounds like an Ennio Morricone production.

On the reels, you will see knives, pistols, war clubs, rifles and tomahawks. The higher value symbols include 5 characters from the battle such as Two Moons (Cheyenne Chief), Myles Walter Keogh (Captain), Crazy Horse (Oglala Chief), George Armstrong Custer (Lieutenant Colonel) and Sitting Bull (Sioux Chief). The Sitting Bull symbol is the best paying with 0.25, 0.75 or 3.75 x bet awarded for 3, 4 or 5 in combination.

If you’re a Nolimit City slots fan, you will notice the Crazy Horse character features in the Deadwood slot. There is a standard Wild symbol which substitutes for paying symbols above. 5 across a payline will award a 3.75 x bet payout. Other symbols you’ll come across include the Scalp Wild, Totem Scatter and No Mercy Scatter (more information in the Bonus Features section below).

Little Bighorn Mobile

Created using HTML5 technology, Little Bighorn can be played on mobile, desktop and tablet devices. Optimised for 1280x720px and 16:9 ratio devices, you can play the game on iOS, Android and Windows devices, including smartphones.

Little Bighorn Bonus Features

The Little Bighorn slot comes with 7 bonus features. Scalp Wilds transform American soldiers into wilds with nudges increasing the multiplier. Totem Wilds expand and No Mercy Scatters will give you respins with expanding wilds, standard wilds and wilds with multipliers. Then you have 2 free spins features with an increasing sticky win multiplier and sticky No Mercy Scatters which give you Wild Chieftains extras.

xMount: Scalp Wild feature

With Scalp Wild symbols only landing on the 5-symbol high reel (i.e. reel 3), landing on the middle reel will trigger the xMount: Scalp Wild feature. Then all American soldier symbols will transform into wilds (i.e. Myles Walter Keogh and George Armstrong Custer).

Furthermore, the Scalp Wild then nudges and expands over the whole reel. With every nudge, the American soldiers’ heads are then scalped, awarding a +1 multiplier to the newly-created wilds.

Totem Wild feature

Totem Scatter symbols will only appear on the 3 middle reels in the base game and Scape Free Spins feature (i.e. reels 2, 3 and/or 4). In the Spirit Call Free Spins feature, Totem Scatter symbols only land on reels 3, 4 and/or 5. Landing 1 or 2 Totem Scatters on a base game spin will trigger the Totem Wild feature.

The Totem Scatters then transform into an expanding Wild to give you a fully wild reel. In the free spins features, they expand as well as reward you with an additional free spin. 3 Totem Scatters on a base game spin will activate the Scalp Free Spins feature.

Spirit Call Respin feature

The Spirit Call Respin feature is triggered when the No Mercy Scatter appears on reel 5 in the base game. The No Mercy Scatter then shifts to reel 1 and the respin follows. It also transforms into a wild version of the following 3 symbols:

Scalp Free Spins feature

The Scalp Free Spins feature is played when 3 Totem Scatter symbols appear anywhere on a base game spin. With 8 free spins awarded, Scalp Wilds increase the sticky win multiplier by 1 for each scalped symbol.

As mentioned above, a Totem Scatter symbol landing will see it transform into an expanding wild as well as award 1 additional free spin. If you land a No Mercy Scatter symbol, the Spirit Call Free Spins feature is triggered as well as 2 more free spins. This will occur once every 51 times on average.

Spirit Call Free Spins feature

The Spirit Call Free Spins feature can be triggered by landing 3 Totem Scatters plus 1 No Mercy Scatter on a base game spin. With 10 free spins won, it offers the same extras as the Scalp Free Spins feature.

With the US national anthem playing as you begin the feature, the reels appear in a 2x3x4x5x3 formation. Importantly, the No Mercy Scatter will stick on reel 1 for the duration of the feature. The No Mercy Scatter then transforms into the Wild Sitting Horse, Crazy Horse or Two Moon symbols. This triggers the extras described in the Spirit Call Respin feature.

Scalp xBet feature

If you desire, you can enable the Scalp xBet feature when playing the Little Bighorn slot. Costing 50% more per spin, you are guaranteed a Totem Scatter symbol on reel 2. This increases your chances of triggering the free spins features substantially as well as the Totem Wild feature.

Whilst it takes approximately 282 spins to trigger a free spins feature, the Scalp xBet feature will see you trigger the free spins every 100 spins on average. The RTP also increase up to 96.1%. Minimum and maximum bets will range from 30p to £150.

Nolimit Bonus feature

Finally, and as with all Nolimit City slot games, you can use the Nolimit City Bonus feature. Not available to UK slots players, you can buy your way into various bonus features from between 77 and 490 x bet.

Enabled by clicking on the yellow Star button, choosing the Lucky Draw option will see you with an 80% chance of playing the Scalp Free Spins feature and a 20% chance of the Spirit Call Free Spins feature. Anyway, here are your 3 options:

Little Bighorn Review Summary – a simple battle which is epic nonetheless

Nolimit City have created plenty of controversial slots in recent times. The Little Bighorn slot is no different with no American soldiers surviving the ordeal. Apparently, 1 horse, who belonged to Captain Myles Walter Keogh was found alive despite suffering 7 bullet wounds. What is certain is that Nolimit City have put plenty of thought into this release and it shows compared to other Native American themed slots.

In terms of the gameplay, the 3 base game features are pretty ordinary. Scalp Wilds landing on reel 3 will see American soldier symbols become wild with subsequent nudges increasing the multiplier by 1 on the new wilds. Totem Scatters transform into expanding wilds. Then you have the Spirit Call Respin feature which transforms symbols into expanding wilds or standard wilds with/without multipliers.

The Scalp Free Spins feature gives you free spins with an increasing sticky win multiplier for scalped symbols. The best of the features is the Spirit Call Free Spins feature where the No Mercy Scatter will trigger the 3 variations of the Spirit Call Respin feature.

I found the Scalp xBet feature to be lucrative as you get a Totem Scatter appearing on reel 2 which in turn gives you an expanding wild and an increased chance of playing the 2 free spins features. It’s not a cheap option with your bet rising by 50%. A similar feature also appears in the Remember Gulag (Propaganda Bet) and Tombstone RIP (Enhanced Bet) slots.

In conclusion, the Little Bighorn slot is simple by Nolimit City standards. This by no means deters from the quality of the gameplay. It’s easier to follow but can still provide huge wins of up to 25,676 x your total bet. Whilst it will take approximately 19 million spins, the max win will be won every 115,000 spins on average from the free spins.
