Outsourced 2 Balkan Engineering Slot (Nolimit City)

The Outsourced 2 Balkan Engineering slot is played on 4 reels, 5 rows and 625 ways to win. Winning combinations are formed by landing 3 or 4 matching symbols from left to right on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel: only the highest win per way to win is awarded.

With a 20p minimum bet per spin, the maximum stake in the UK is £5 a spin (or up to £2 if under 25): players outside the UK can play for up to £200 a spin (or currency equivalent). Click/press the ‘Coins’ icon to see all options. Non-UK players can use Autoplay and Turbo Mode functionality.

The Outsourced 2 Balkan Engineering RTP rate is 96.04%, with 63.52% deriving from the base game and 32.51% from the bonus features. Nolimit City has also produced 94.06% and 92.05% RTP variants. If you had a £20 balance and played at 20p a spin, below is the number of expected spins before running out of money:

• 96.04%: 2,501 spins
• 94.06%: 1,667 spins
• 92.05%: 1,246 spins

Extremely volatile (10/10), winning combinations will land, on average, every 4.06 spins as the hit frequency rate is 24.59%. Triggering either of the 2 free spins features will take 201 spins to trigger.

In terms of win potential, Outsourced 2 Balkan Engineering comes with 11,111 x bet max wins. Known as ‘Big Szukcess’, the max win probability is 1 in 1,162,385 spins. Winning 100 x your total bet or more will take 970 spins on average.

With a work theme, the Outsourced 2 Balkan Engineering slot is the sequel to Outsourced (August 2024). In this instalment, you head to the Balkans where a ‘couzin’ can build offices cheaper.

Set on a construction site, the look and feel is similar to its predecessor with a 90s feel. Graphically, it bears similarities to Brick Snake 2000 and Nine to Five. As with the first game, the soundtrack is odd and quirky.

On the reels, you’ll come across low-value A, K, Q, J and 10 royals. The higher-value symbols include cans of beer, gaming controllers, a hand inside a plastic bag, hard hats and a worker: the worker symbol pays the most, awarding 0.5 x your total bet for 4 in combination.

With a Hazard Sign Wild symbol that substitutes for all paying symbols and pays up to 0.5 x bet, special symbols include Infectious xWays, xNudge Balkan Wild, Elevator and a Bonus Scatter: more on their functions below.

Outsourced 2 Balkan Engineering Mobile

Outsourced 2 Balkan Engineering, as with all NLC slots, was produced using HTML5 technology. Adapting to mobile, tablet and desktop devices, you’ll play in Portrait Mode when accessing on an iOS or Android smartphone. For NLC games, I always recommend a laptop or PC for the best visual experience.

Outsourced 2 Balkan Engineering consists of Print Spin respins with increasing multipliers for more ways to win, various special symbols and 2 free spins modes where multipliers are kept.

Print Spins

After a winning combination occurs, the Print Spins feature is triggered. Winning symbols disappear, leaving empty positions for new symbols to drop in. The multiplier on winning positions increases by 1 for each Print Spin meaning more ways to win.

With Print Spins, or respins, continuing until no more wins are formed, look out for an Infectious xWays landing: its revealed symbol multiplies with the increased multiplier on that position during a payout. The symbol multiplier on the winning xWays position reverts to the previous value plus 1.

Special Symbols

Outsourced 2 Balkan Engineering benefits from various special symbols, with their functions outlined below:

• Infectious xWays: it reveals a regular paying symbol of size 2-4 or a blocker symbol (which offers no payout). An Infectious xWays symbol infects all occurrences of the revealed payout symbol into size 2-4, for more ways to win. If multiple Infectious xWays symbols land at once, they will all reveal the same symbol. Multiple infections increase the symbol’s size multiplicatively. 
• Elevator: it reveals an instant bonus feature trigger or blocker symbols in the base game. In a bonus feature, an Elevator symbol will award 1, 2 or 7 extra free spins, or a blocker symbol.
• xNudge Balkan Wild: landing anywhere, it can nudge to reveal a multiplier up to 999x. With every nudge, the wild multiplier increases by 1. Multiple xNudge Balkan Wild multipliers add to each other for a total win multiplier. The xNudge Balkan Wild can also malfunction and remain as a 1x1 wild symbol. 

Free Spins features

Landing 3 or 4 Bonus Scatters will trigger a free spins feature:

• Tilt Spins: triggered by 3 Bonus Scatters, you get 4 free spins. Any symbol multipliers from the base game are kept during the feature.
• Tiltier Spins: triggered by 4 Bonus Scatter, you’ll receive 7 free spins. As with the Tilt Spins feature, symbol multipliers from the base game are kept. The only difference is 3 extra free spins. 

At the end of a feature, you may get a chance to purchase an extra spin, known as the xTra Spin feature. Keeping the multiplier state of the symbols on the previous free spin, the cost is calculated based on the multiplier values. The option is only available if the cost is less than or equal to the win on the previous free spin.

Nolimit Booster

The Nolimit Booster feature comes with 5 options:

• Bonus Booster: Costing 1.35 x bet, you are guaranteed 1 Bonus Scatter on the top position of reel 2, with more than 3 times likelier to activating a free spins feature. The RTP is 96.07%.
• Bonus Balkan Booster: Costing 13.5 x bet, you are guaranteed a Bonus Scatter on the initial spin any on any respins triggered by a win. More than 20 times likelier to activating a free spins feature, the RTP is 96.07%.
• Print Spins x3: Costing 15 x bet, you are guaranteed a spin that begins with a 3x multiplier on all positions. The RTP is 96.05%.
• Print Spins x6: Costing 200 x bet, you are guaranteed a spin that begins with a 6x multiplier on all positions. The RTP is 96.05%.
• Print Spins x8: Costing 750 x bet, you are guaranteed a spin that begins with a 8x multiplier on all positions. The RTP is 96.05%.

Nolimit Bonus

Players outside the UK can make sure of the Nolimit Bonus feature. There are 5 options:

If you opt for the Lucky Draw option, you have a 50% chance of the Tilt Spins or the Tiltier Spins feature. With the Filthiest Spins option, you get 7 free spins with a 2x multiplier on all positions.

With the God Mode feature, you chase ‘Big Szukcess’ by landing B, O, O and M symbols on the reels: if you land them, you’ll pocket the game’s max win of 11,111 x your total bet.

Outsourced 2 Balkan Engineering Slot

Rating: 4.1/5

Outsourced 2 Balkan Engineering is an improved sequel with subtle upgrades that can result in more than double the max win potential.

Chris Taylor

The Outsourced 2 Balkan Engineering slot is a sequel to a game that isn’t among the most popular Nolimit City games by any stretch of the imagination. Following its predecessor quite closely, the look and feel is almost identical but the setting has changed from the sweatshop to a construction site.

With more ways to win initially, the Print Spins feature allows for more ways to win and winning opportunities. NLC has replaced xWays with Infectious xWays, allowing for more expansions. xNudge Wilds have been replaced by xNudge Balkan Wilds which can lead to much bigger multipliers. The new Elevator symbol can also award instant access to a free spins feature.

The free spins features have also been enhanced, with extra free spins. That said, the most significant update is the 11,111 x bet max win potential, more than double that of the original game (5,000 x bet). In contrast, the max win probability is 1 in 1,162,385 spins compared to 1 in 185,000 spins in the first outing.

To summarise, Outsourced 2 Balkan Engineering is similar to its predecessor but has a Balkan twist thematically and ramps up the mechanics and gameplay from the original game for more than double the max win potential. As far as slot sequels go, it’s a definite upgrade but doesn’t quite do enough to rank amongst the best sequels.
