The Gator Hunters slot is played on a 6x5 grid with Scatter Pays. A scatter win is awarded when 8 or more matching symbols land anywhere on the grid. Want the best games with this mechanic? Check out my article dedicated to the top Scatter Pays slots.

With a 20p minimum bet per spin, the maximum you can play at in the UK is £5 a spin or £2 if you’re under 25 years of age (due to legislative reasons). Changing your total bet is simple: use the Coins icon to see all options. Outside the UK, there is Autoplay (up to 1,000 auto spins) and Turbo Mode.

The Gator Hunters slot RTP rate is 96.11%: 66.33% is dedicated to the base game with 29.71% for the bonus features. On the other hand, Nolimit City has produced 95.31%, 94.05% and 92.09% RTP alternatives which may be in use at your chosen casino or slot sites (check within the game’s Paytable). The Gator Hunters free demo above uses the highest RTP rate.

Rated as extreme volatility, you can expect to land a winning outcome or scatter win every 5.8 spins as the hit frequency rate is 17.23%. Triggering any of the 4 free spins features will happen every 1 in 236 spins, on average.

Finally, the Gator Hunters slot benefits from 25,000 x bet max wins. Coin ‘The Hunter Becomes The Hunted’ by Nolimit City, the max win probability of 1 in 16 million spins (this is your chance of landing the max payout). To win 100 times your total bet or higher, it will take 790 spins approximately.

Set in a swamp, the Gator Hunters slot has a hunting theme. Focusing on swamp-crawling lizards that have been causing trouble for years, there is one gator that has the hunters on edge. This gator is, according to Nolimit, more slippery than a snake and twice as nasty!

When you fire up the game, it looks like you’re in the Everglades. The soundtrack is rather upbeat. On the reels, the low-value symbols include a pair of boots, binoculars, bottles of moonshine, traps and a baby alligator hatching from an egg.

The higher-value symbols are represented by 4 hunter characters: one of them looks like Hillary Clinton and the other like the legendary Steve Irwin! Best paying is the bearded hunter as he rewards you with 60 x your total bet for 14 or more on the grid. He looks like one of the characters from NLC’s Duck Hunters slot,

Gator Hunters has multiple special symbols: there are Normal Eater and Super Eater symbols which appear when no wins are formed. The Gator Skull Wild substitutes for all paying symbols and appears when you land 1 of the 2 Eater symbols. With Normal, Super and Super Fire Revolver symbols, there is also a Wanted Bonus symbol. Information on their functions can be found below.

Gator Hunters Mobile

With Nolimit City slots all created with HTML5 technology, you can head to the swap in Gator Hunters on laptop, PC, mobile and tablet devices. Available to play using iOS and Android smartphones using Portrait Mode, a bigger screen is recommended to benefit from the full experience.

The Gator Hunters slot comes with Eater symbols that remove symbols and add Gator Skull Wilds and with multipliers up to 10x. There is a Revolver symbol which contains bullets: with 3 types, they apply multipliers up to 2000x depending on their colour. With 4 free spins features, you get up to 4 upgrades for much higher max win potential.

Eater Symbols

With 2 types of Eater symbols, they appear one at at time and activate only when no winning outcomes occur. Here is what they entail:

• Normal Eater: removes a random number of symbols and all their instances, allowing for new symbols to fall in. It then transforms into a Gator Skull Wild.
• Super Eater: it works like the Normal Eater symbol but the Gator Skull Wild comes with a multiplier of 2x, 3x or 10x. If the Gator Skull Wild is part of a scatter win, the multiplier value is applied to the win. Gator Skull Wild multipliers are additive (if multiple Gator Skull Wilds appear).

Revolver

When no scatter wins occur and no Eater symbols appear on the grid, Revolver symbols activate. Each Revolver contains a set of bullets, with multiplier values, and empty positions.

The cylinder then spins and randomly selects a position: if a bullet lands, its multiplier is added to the total win multiplier. The total win multiplier is then applied to the current spin’s win amount. Up to 6 Revolvers of the same or different type can appear on the grid at once. Below are details or 3 types of Revolver symbols:

• Normal Revolver: spinning once, it will select a bullet or empty position.
• Super Revolver: if a bullet is selected, it spins again.
• Super Fire Revolver: if a bullet is selected, all Revolvers with bullets will spin again.

Now, there are 5 types of bullets (each with a different colour). Each type offers the following multiplier values:

• Purple: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x or 8x
• Blue: 10x, 15x or 20x
• Orange: 30x, 50x or 75x
• Red: 100x, 150x, 200x, 300x or 500x
• White: 1000x or 2000x

Swamp Spins

The Swamp Spins feature is triggered by landing 3 Wanted Bonus symbols. With 10 free spins awarded, the total multiplier is held throughout the feature. However, the total multiplier is applied to wins from free spins in which a Revolver lands and selects a bullet.

During the Swamp Spins, any of 4 upgrades can be randomly awarded:

• Extra Bullet 2x: all Revolvers will have an extra 2x bullet
• Extra Bullet 10x: all Revolvers will have an extra 10x bullet
• Super Eater: all Normal Eater symbols are replaced with Super Eater symbols
• Super Revolvers: all normal Revolvers are replaced with Super Revolvers

Finally, if you see 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 Wanted Bonus symbols during the feature, you’ll win 3, 5, 7, 10 or 15 extra free spins respectively.

Frenzy Spins

Landing 4 Wanted Bonus symbols will trigger the Frenzy Spins feature, with 12 free spins. The difference from the Swamp Spins is that 2 upgrades are randomly awarded instead of just 1.

Gator Spins

5 Wanted Bonus symbols will see you activate the Gator Spins feature, with 15 free spins. In this feature, 3 upgrades are randomly awarded (instead of 1).

Apex Predator Spins

Finally, there is the Apex Predator Spins feature: it’s triggered by landing 6 Wanted Bonus symbols. With 18 free spins awarded, all 4 upgrades are awarded instead of 1. Furthermore, the Super Revolvers upgrade is replaced by the Super Fire Revolvers meaning all Revolvers are replaced by Super Fire Revolvers.

Extra Spin

When a spin ends, the Extra Spin feature can be purchased. This extra spin keeps the total multiplier and all Revolvers with any remaining bullets. Remember that the total multiplier only applies to wins from spins in which a Revolver lands and awards a bullet.

The cost is calculated based on the total multiplier and the remaining Revolvers: the extra spin option is only available if the cost of the Extra Spin is less than or equal to the win on the previous spin. Finally, this feature can be found in Nolimit City’s release, Seamen.

Nolimit Booster

Like other NLC games, Gator Hunters benefits from a Nolimit Booster feature. With 4 options, below you’ll find all the information:

• Bonus Booster: Costing 2.5 x bet, you are guaranteed a Wanted Bonus symbol on reel 2. The RTP is 96.07%.
• Revolver Roll: Costing 90 x bet, you are guaranteed an active Super Revolver. The RTP is 96.08%.
• Super Fire Spins: Costing 400 x bet, you are guaranteed a Super Fire Revolver with 5 bullets of different colours. The RTP is 96.09%.
• Massacre Spins: Costing 1,200 x bet, all Revolvers are replaced with Super Fire Revolvers. The RTP is 96.09%.

Nolimit Bonus

Players outside the UK can make use of the Nolimit Bonus feature. There are 4 options available:

With the Lucky Draw option, there is a 50%, 25%, 20% or 5% chance of triggering the Swamp, Frenzy, Gator or Apex Predator Spins feature, respectively.

Gator Hunters Slot

Rating: 4.5/5

Gator Hunters is a Duck Hunters spin-off and combines new Eater symbols with Revolvers for big multipliers, 4 free spins features and 25,000 x bet max win potential.

Chris Taylor

Set in the Everglades, the Gator Hunters slot sees you try and track down a legendary alligator. With the same redneck/hillbilly style as Duck Hunters, the action ramps up when no scatter wins land on the grid.

2 types of Eater symbols can land: they remove symbols and then place a Gator Skull Wild on the grid. With the Super Eater, the Gator Skull Wild benefits from a multiplier up to 10x. If no scatter win or Eater symbol lands, Revolver symbols come into play: each containing bullet multipliers, landing ona bullet will see its multiplier added to the total win multiplier. With 3 different Revolver symbols, the bullets come in 5 colours with multipliers up to 2000x!

With 4 free spins features, you’ll benefit from the total multiplier held throughout. However, they come with 1, 2, 3 or 4 upgrades respectively: they include higher-value bullets, only Super Eater symbols and only Super Revolvers.

With 25,000 x bet max wins, Gator Hunters is more of a spin-off of Duck Hunters rather than a full-blown sequel. Fundamentally, the way to land big multipliers is different from Duck Hunters. Also, Revolver symbols also feature in Tombstone Slaughter, Deadwood RIP and Whacked but the outcomes are different.

In summary, Gator Hunters is a different beast to Duck Hunters. With the addition of Eater symbols that lead to wilds (with multipliers if they are ‘Super’), both Eater and Revolver symbols can combine to devastating effect. Whilst the review may read a little complicated, a few dozen spins in demo mode will soon see you get the hang of the various mechanics and bonus features.

If you want more USA-themed slots, Nolimit City offer you the politically-charged Home of the Brave, the controversial and redneck-inspired Land of the Free as well as The Border (which is based on the drug lords battle against patrol agents on the US/Mexican border).
