Click or press the Coins icon to see all options. Non-UK players have Autoplay (up to 100 auto spins with single-win and balance limits) and Turbo Mode (for quicker spin speed).

Punk Rocker 2 Expert Review
Theme, Audio + Symbols
Released on the 9th of July 2024, the Punk Rocker 2 slot is the sequel to Punk Rocker (released in February 2020). With a punk/rock music theme, this game takes place in New York as opposed to London with graffiti dominating graphically. Offering the same ethos as the original game, the policy is to f**k conformity (according to NLC).
Inspired by New York’s punk rock scene in the early 1970s, Nolimit City takes you to the streets where the reels are set outside the Wall Street subway station. With the Empire State Building and Flatiron Building in the backdrop, graffiti is plastered against the walls to the side of the reels. The soundtrack as you’d expect is rocking and may require the mute button if it’s not your thing.
On the reels, low-value symbols include Bovver boots, knuckle dusters, spiked apples, Molotov cocktails and anarchy signs. The higher-value symbols are represented by pop art-style characters including Abraham Lincoln, Jack Nicholson, the Statue of Liberty, Ronald Reagan and an Uncle Sam-inspired Monkey. The Uncle Sam Monkey pays the most with 4 times your total bet for 6 in combination.
Punk Rocker 2 has several special symbols including xWays, Molotov and Pipe Bomb Wilds and the Bonus Scatter. With the latter triggering various bonus features, the free spins come with Jumping Wilds and Burning Jumping Wilds. I will get to these in more details in the Bonus Features section but find a list of symbol payouts and functions below first:
- Bovver Boots: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.2, 0.35, 0.75 or 1.25 x bet
- Knuckle Duster: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.2, 0.35, 0.75 or 1.5 x bet
- Spiked Apple: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.2, 0.35, 0.75 or 1.75 x bet
- Anarchy Sign/Molotov Cocktail: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.2, 0.4, 0.9 or 2 x bet
- Abraham Lincoln: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.25, 0.5, 1 or 2.25 x bet
- Jack Nicholson: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.3, 0.55, 1.25 or 2.5 x bet
- Statue of Liberty: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.35, 0.6, 1.5 or 3 x bet
- Ronald Reagan: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.4, 0.7, 1.75 or 3.5 x bet
- Uncle Sam Monkey: 3, 4, 5 or 6 = 0.5, 1, 2 or 4 x bet
- Molotov Wild: Substitutes & turns symbols above into wilds
- Pipe Bomb Wild: Same as xWays but turns positions above into Pipe Bomb Wilds
- xWays: Contains 2-4 of the same symbol to increase the number of ways to win
- Bonus Scatter: Awards various bonus features

Punk Rocker 2 Mobile
Nolimit City create their slots with HTML5 technology and Punk Rocker 2 is no different. Compatible with tablet, desktop and mobile devices, iOS and Android smartphone users will benefit from Portrait Mode. Excellent on all devices, a larger screen is recommended to get the full experience.
Bonus Features
With 9 bonus features, Punk Rocker 2 comes with xWays for up to 46,656 ways to win and Molotov Wilds. There are new Pipe Bomb Wilds which add Pipe Bomb Wilds above. In the Riot Spins, there are sticky Molotov Wilds are extra respins to be won. Finally, there are 3 free spins features with Top and Bottom Train Enhancers including extra free spins, wild multipliers, xWays, Molotov Wilds, 6-high reels, Burning Jumping Wilds and feature upgrades.
xWays
As with many Nolimit City slots including its predecessor, Punk Rocker, an xWays symbol will hold 2 to 4 of the same symbol inside with all xWays symbols revealing the same symbol.
When an xWays symbol appears in the base game, it expands to 4 high which can be super expanded up to 20 high. In the free spins features, they will expand to 4 high and contain 4, 6 or 8 of the same symbol. There are up to 46,656 ways to win in total.
Molotov & Pipe Bomb Wilds
The Molotov Wild symbol transforms all positions above it into wilds and can land in the base game, Riot Spins feature and can be activated during the free spins features. It substitutes for all paying symbols.
There is a skull biting a Molotov Cocktail which is the Molotov Wild and the game’s wild symbol. Substituting for all paying symbols when part of a win, Molotov Wilds appear in the base game and the Rio Respin feature (more details just below). When they appear, they transform all positions above into wilds.
Newly added, there is a Pipe Bomb Wild symbol which also substitutes for paying symbols. They contain 2 to 4 wild symbols and turn all positions above into Pipe Bomb Wilds of the same size. Pipe Bomb Wilds can land during the base game and Riot Spins feature.
Riot Spins
Seeing 2 Bonus Scatters during the base game will activate the Riot Spins feature. The Bonus Scatters transform into sticky Molotov Wilds that remain in position. With all wilds locking in place, a respin is awarded. New Bonus Scatters landing will reward you with an extra respin as well as transforming into sticky Molotov Wilds.
Free Spins
The Punk Rocker 2 slot game comes with 3 free spins features. The setting is the Wall Street subway station which is covered in graffiti and has a Charging Bull statue (with graffiti on it of course). With more details below, they are triggered when landing 3 or more Bonus Scatters anywhere on the reels:
- DisOBEY Spins: triggered by landing 3 Bonus Scatters, you’ll get 8 free spins with 3 Jumping Wilds and the Top Train Enhancer.
- ChAos Spins: triggered by landing 4 Bonus Scatters, you’ll receive 8 free spins with 4 Jumping Wilds and both Train Enhancers.
- Mass Transit BBQ Spins: triggered by seeing 5 Bonus Scatters simultaneously, you’ll get 8 free spins with 4 Jumping Wilds and both top and bottom Train Enhancers. Additionally, the Burning Cart stops on every free spin.
As in the original game, triggering Bonus Scatters change to Jumping Wilds which change positions between each free spin. Nolimit City has added Burning Jumping Wilds which also move position between free spins.
All Wild Multiplier enhancers triggered by Burning Jumping Wilds are persistent during the remainder of the feature with wild multiplier values additive.
Train Enhancers
You will see Train Enhancers above and below the reels during the 3 free spins features. They are activated when a Jumping Wild or Burning Jumping Wild appears on the same reel. Here is what each of the Train Enhancers offers:
- Top Train Enhancers: Wild Multiplier, xWays, Molotov Wilds, Extra Free Spins, All Reels become 6 symbols high, a feature upgrade and enabling the Bottom Train Enhancer
- Bottom Train Enhancers: Wild Multiplier, Extra Free Spins and Burning Jumping Wilds
Now, if a Burning Cart in the Train Enhancer contains a Burning Jumping Wild, it converts all Jumping Wilds into Burning Jumping Wilds on that reel. As specified above, Wild Multipliers are added together.
Nolimit Booster
For a cost of 2 times your total bet, you can opt for the Nolimit Booster feature. If enabled, you are guaranteed a Bonus Scatter, xWays, Super xWays, Molotov Wild or Pipe Bomb Wild on reel 2. The RTP increases slightly to 96.16% (for the highest 96.07% RTP setting).
Nolimit Bonus
Players outside the UK can get in on the action by buying their way into bonus features. Known as the Nolimit Bonus feature,
Outside the UK, there is an optional Nolimit Bonus feature. A Bonus Buy element essentially, you can buy your way into the 2 free spins features. Below is a table highlighting the cost and the increased RTP rate (for the 96.01% RTP version):
Feature | Cost | RTP |
---|---|---|
DisOBEY Spins | 100 x bet | 96.07% |
ChAos Spins | 370 x bet | 96.13% |
Mass Transit BBQ Spins | 3,000 x bet | 96.17% |
Lucky Draw | 1,368 x bet | 96.12% |
Expert Verdict
The Punk Rocker 2 slot follows on nicely from the first outing. Set in New York, Nolimit City has kept the ethos and spirit of the original game with more chaotic and anarchic action. Played with 6 reels as opposed to 5, the base game remains more or less the same with xWays and Molotov Wilds.
NLC has added Pipe Bomb Wilds which contains up to 4 wilds as well as transforming positions above into Pipe Bomb Wilds. The Riot Spins feature is similar to the Riot Respin feature but new Bonus Scatters give you additional respins and more sticky Molotov Wilds.
With an extra free spins feature, all come with the new Burning Jumping Wild symbol which holds onto their multipliers until the end of the feature. 2 of the features come with top and bottom Train Enhancers.
Activated when a Jumping Wild or Burning Jumping Wild lands on the same reel, rewards include Wild Multipliers, xWays, Molotov Wilds, more free spins, 6-high reels and feature upgrades. If you enable the Bottom Train Enhancer, your rewards include Wild Multiplies, extra free spins and more Burning Jumping Wilds.
Regarding the 30,144 times bet max wins available, you have a 1 in 7 million spins chance to land this from the base game. However, your chances dramatically improve from the bonus features:
- DisOBEY Spins: 1 in 110,000 spins
- ChAos Spins: 1 in 4,000 spins
- Mass Transit BBQ Spins: 1 in 56 spins
More volatile than Punk Rocker, the Punk Rocker 2 slot builds on the success of the original game with more bonus features, more variety and double the max win potential. I found it a much more chaotic and better proposition than its predecessor. Below is a table highlighting the differences between the 2 games:
Info | Punk Rocker 2 | Punk Rocker |
---|---|---|
Setting | New York | London |
Reels/Paylines | 5/243-46,656 | 5-6/243-46,656 |
Bet Range | 20p to £100 | 25p to £100 |
Volatility | Extreme | High |
Highest RTP Rate | 96.06% | 96.01% |
Hit Frequency Rate | 20.82% | 21.38% |
Max Win | 30,144 x bet | 15,072 x bet |
Max Win Probability | 1 in 7 million spins | 1 in 1.7 million spins |
Bonus Features | 9 | 6 |
If you’re outside the UK and you want to buy your way into the free spins features, the Mass Transit BBQ Spins will cost you a whopping 3,000 times your total bet. To put this into context, it’s the same price as you’ll play when buying the Boothill Free Spins in Tombstone RIP.
