Deadwood RIP Slot (Nolimit City)

The Deadwood RIP slot begins with 5 reels and 384 ways to win. You’ll see the reels have a 3x4x4x4x2 formation. Winning combinations are formed when 3 or more instances of the same symbol appear on successive reels, in any position, beginning from the leftmost reel.

You can play Deadwood RIP from 20p to £100 per spin. The max bet of £100 may be reduced at some UK casino sites though. Use the Coins icon (on all devices) to change your bet accordingly. Players outside the UK can opt for Turbo Mode (lightning bolt icon) and Autoplay (balance and single win limits on up to 1,000 auto spins).

The Deadwood RIP RTP rate is 96.09% with 64.5% for the base game and 31.59% for the bonus features. You may find that you’re playing an alternative RTP version with 94.04% and 92.03% RTPs available. Check within the game’s Paytable at your chosen casino/slot site.

In the extreme volatility category (10/10),  winning combinations are scarce as the hit frequency rate is 8.29%. This means a win will land every 12.06 spins on average. It’s less than the 1 in 11 spins for Tombstone RIP. The 2 free spins features will be triggered every 234 spins on average.

Lastly, the Deadwood RIP slot comes with 100,000 times bet max wins. Extremely high for an online slot game, the max win probability is 1 in 150 million spins (for the 96.09% RTP version). This is known as the Final Judgement. Winning 100 times your bet or higher will occur every 790 spins on average.

Released on the 4^th of June 2024, the Deadwood RIP slot has a Wild West theme. Following on from Deadwood (May 2020) and Tombstone RIP (January 2022), you join gunslingers El Gordo, Edda Star and Skinny Joe again. This time, though, the game isn’t about bounties: it’s about sending these ‘varmints’ for a permanent dirt nap (according to Nolimit City).

Like Tombstone RIP, the visuals are pretty bleak which are depicted by the black and white tones. The setting is on the edge of town where you’ll see a gallow: this is a wooden frame from where outlaws are executed by hanging.

Serious and dark, you’ll notice the brilliant rock-style soundtrack. Honestly, it’s superb. If you click/press on the reels, you can fire shots at the symbols. Choose a gunslinger symbol and you’ll see that varmint killed instantly. You will have 6 shots on every spin.

On the reels, there are A, K, Q, J and 10 royals. The higher-value symbols include 5 gunslingers: Sundance, Butch, Skinny Joe, Edda Star and El Gordo. Both Sundance and Butch have been busted whilst the other 3 are still wanted. El Gordo is the best-paying symbol awarding 2.8 times your total bet for 5 in combination. Below are the payouts for all standard symbols:

• Q/J/10: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.08, 0.16 or 0.8 x bet
• A/K: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.16, 0.32 or 0.96 x bet
• Sundance: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.24, 0.4 or 1.2 x bet
• Butch: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.24, 0.4 or 1.6 x bet
• Skinny Joe: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.32, 0.48 or 2 x bet
• Edda Star: 3, 4, or 5 = 0.32, 0.48 or 2.4 x bet
• El Gordo: 3, 4 or 5 = 0.4, 0.56 or 2.8 x bet

Interestingly, the fifth reel has some special properties with limited symbols appearing on it. For starters, all symbols count as a double symbol when they land fully. With no low-value royals appearing on reel 5, gunslinger symbols and Hog Me Tight Scatters appear. During the Salvation Spins feature, only the latter appears on reel 5.

Deadwood RIP also comes with various special symbols. They include xNudge Wilds, xSplit Wilds, Revolver Cylinders, Sheriff Badges and Scatters. More details on what their functions are can be found in the Bonus Features section below.

Deadwood RIP Mobile

With Nolimit City using HTML5 technology for all their slot games, Deadwood RIP is compatible with smartphones, tablet, laptops and PC devices. Available to play on iOS and Android mobiles, you’ll play in Portrait Mode if playing on the go. I always recommend a larger screen (like a PC or laptop) for the best experience. This is especially true with NLC games as there’s so much going on.

With 9 bonus features, the Deadwood RIP slot has lots going on. Any win under 1 x bet is not awarded (xRIP). There are xNudge and xSplit Wilds which give you more ways to win and increase the win multiplier. The Shootout and Quick Draw features double symbol multipliers and transform low-value symbols into wilds. There are also 2 free spins features where all the above can combine to devastating effect.

xRIP

Like in the Tombstone RIP slot game, there is an xRIP feature. It’s triggered when you land a winning combination that is below your bet. If you were to play at £1 per spin and landed a 5-of-a-kind win with A royals, you’d pocket 96p which would then be lost due to the xRIP.

xNudge Wilds

Appear on the 3 middle reels only, a stacked wild symbol always nudges up or down to become fully visible. Known as the xNudge Wilds feature, each nudge increases the win multiplier by 1.

In the base game, multiple xNudge Wilds add to each other for a total win multiplier. In the bonus features, several xNudge Wilds will multiply each other for a total win multiplier.

xSplit Wilds

The xSplit Wilds are activated by landing 2 Diamondback Scatter symbols. After landing, it splits itself and other symbols on that reel in half. This doubles the number of symbols on that reel and the number of ways to win. xSplit Wilds can only activate on the 3 middle reels.

Look out for the Hog Me Tight Scatter appearing on reel 5. Appearing 2 symbols high, it acts like a wild symbol. When it lands, it cuts symbols to the left in the middle rows:

• Reel 1: Symbol in the middle row is split
• Reels 2-4: Symbols in the 2 middle rows are split

If an xNudge Wild symbol is split, it doubles the xNudge Wild multiplier value.

Quick Draw & Shootout

The Quick Draw feature is triggered by landing 1 revolver cylinder symbol on reel 1. Randomly shooting 3 to 6 times, each shot doubles the symbol multiplier which is hit.

The Shootout feature is activated when 2 Sheriff Badges land on reels 2 and 4. All low-value symbols on the 3 middle reels become wilds.

Redemption Spins

Landing 3 Diamondback Scatters will trigger the Redemption Spins feature. With 5 free spins awarded, the win multiplier is increased by xNudge Wilds (1-4) which remain in play throughout the feature. Any collected win multiplier will be multiplied by another xNudge Wild.

If you land a Hog Me Tight Scatter on reel 5, you will upgrade to the Salvations Spins feature will 1 extra free spin. This will occur 1 in 40 times on average. Landing 3 RIP symbols will retrigger the feature with 5 more free spins awarded.

Salvation Spins

The Salvation Spins feature is played by landing 3 Diamondback Scatters and 1 Hog Me Tight Scatter. 6 free spins are awarded. Like in the previous feature, the win multiplier increases between 1-4 by xNudge Wilds. These remain in play with any collected win multiplier multiplied by another xNudge Wild.

With the Hog Me Tight Scatter landing on reel 5, it acts as a wild symbol and splits all symbols on the middle reel after every free spin. Lastly, 3 RIP symbols will give you another 6 free spins.

Nolimit Booster

As found in other Nolimit City slot games such as Loner, there is an optional Nolimit Booster feature with 2 xBet options.

• xBet: costing 2.5 times your bet, you will sacrifice for a more brutal, less awarding base game bit increase the probability of triggering the free spins. Your chances of playing the free spins doubles with a guaranteed scatter on reel 2. The RTP rate rises to 96.13%.
• Double xBet: costing 15 times your bet, your chances of triggering the Redemption and Salvation Spins feature increases 10 fold. With guaranteed scatters on reels 2 and 3, the RTP rate increases to 96.18%.

Nolimit Booster Stats

Increasing your chances of triggering the Redemption and Salvation Spins features with xBet as iy will take 1 in 119 spins as opposed to 1 in 243 without it.

Nolimit Bonus

Finally, non-UK players have the option of the Nolimit Bonus feature. Essentially a Bonus Buy, you can buy your way directly in the bonus features from 80 to 1,500 times your total bet. Below are all the details:

With the Lucky Draw option, you have an 80% chance of getting the Redemption Spins feature and 20% for the Salvation Spins feature. If you opt for the Lucky Draw Deluxe option, the chances are split down the middle (50/50).

If you opt for the Salvation Spins bonus buy option, your chances of winning 100,000 times your total bet (the game’s max win) is 1 in 11,300 spins.

Following in a long line of Wild West slots, the Deadwood RIP slot combines elements of both Tombstone RIP and Deadwood but in a new and brutal way. Not as gory and controversial as the high-paying Tombstone RIP, it's a middle ground where you won’t find much joy, unfortunately.

Graphically, it’s great but the soundtrack is probably the best I’ve come across. In terms of the gameplay, the xRIP feature means a win less than 1 times your total bet will be removed by Nolimit City. That’s brutal but just the way things go.

xNudge Wilds give you multipliers which are added together in the base game and multiplied in the 2 free spins features. xSplit Wilds see symbols split for more ways to win as well as doubling the xNudge Wild multiplier. I quite like the Quick Draw and Shootout features which double symbol multipliers and transform low-value symbols into wilds.

With the 2 free spins features, the key is to land xNudge Wilds which increases the win multiplier. If you manage to combine this with the Quick Draw and Shootout features, you can really get the win multiplier motoring. In the Salvation Spins feature, the Hog Me Tight Scatter splits all symbols on the middle reel on every free spin too. I love how the pig throws tomahawks onto the reels to split the symbols.

For reference, your chances of winning the maximum 100,000 times your total bet are as follows: 

• Base Game: 1 in 150 million spins
• Redemption Spins: 1 in 750,000 spins
• Salvation Spins: 1 in 11,300 spins

Brutally volatile, Deadwood RIP is another superb game from Nolimit City which owes a lot to the crude and gory nature of Tombstone RIP as well as taking from the iconic Deadwood slot.

If you love Wild West-themed slot games, no one does it better than Nolimit City in my opinion. Below is a table highlighting all the key details:
