Game Overview

Hey, wise guy, you talking to me? I said are you talking to me? Yo, Paulie, we got ourselves a tough guy over here; chuck me over my piece; this fool’s gonna get clipped if he’s not careful. Ah, “fuhgettaboutit”. Don’t worry folks, we’ve not turned into the Demoslot mafia, we’re just getting into character for Nolimit City’s slot titled Whacked instead. As you may have already guessed, this is a mafia themed slot, and it comes with stats of 243 paylines, an RTP of 96.07%, and a maximum win of 11,912x the bet.

Nolimit is notorious for creating games filled with features; however, Whacked could be considered slightly light in that regard, although there’s still plenty to look at. First of all, this is a cascading reels slot, so all winning symbols are removed and replaced with new ones for further chances to win. The reel cascades work in unison with the Lock ‘N’ Load feature, activated when 6 consecutive reel tumbles occur. Once active, the gun will fire at high-value symbols, transforming them into wilds. The main feature to aim for is the Whacked Spins, triggered when three scatters land in view. During this bonus, multiplier values and special symbols can land to help build up your individual reel multiplier values, which are totalled together when the feature ends.

Have you got what it takes to be a made man and join one of the most prominent crime families in the world? I’d suggest before you take to the streets and find out that you give our free demo slot of Whacked a try first. It’s available to play below.

Whacked Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols

Whacked Slot Paytable

Gangster and mafia movies continue to remain popular in modern culture, and even though the iconic films Casino and Goodfellas are ageing somewhat now, they are both outstanding cinematic productions and continue to be watched millions of times each year. I mean, come on, we’ve all seen the “you’re a funny guy” scene, right? Or the punishment dished out to the card cheats with De Niro calling the shots playing the casino boss Sam ‘Ace’ Rothstein? So, with the big screen pulling in record numbers on hit movies like the above, why are there no real massive blockbuster slots? We’ve had a few of late, like Brooklyn Bootleggers from Quickspin or Cotton Gang Affair from Red Tiger Gaming, but nothing that really sticks in the memory. Is that all about to change with Nolimit City’s Whacked?

We’re starting as always at the paytable, and five tough-looking mobsters represent the premium value symbols. Unfortunately, these don’t have names, so I’ll refer to the colour of their background for their win values. At the top then, and the highest paying symbol is the orange mobster paying 2x for a five of a kind win. Next, we have the blue and white mob members, valued at 1.5x for a full line of five, and finally, there’s the red and purple tough guys, who pay 1x for a completed line of five. Then, onto the low pays, there’s a shotgun worth 0.9x, the pistol at 0.75x, a knuckle-duster valued at 0.6x, the dagger at 0.5x, and last of all, the piece of rope paying 0.5x for a five of a kind hit.

Whacked offers a wide range of staking choices, presenting an impressive selection of betting options. The minimum cost per play begins at €0.20 and extends to a maximum of €100. In addition, players can access over 20 additional stakes within this betting range, ensuring that individuals with varying budgets can enjoy the slot with real money.

Base Game & Modifiers

Whacked is played initially upon a 5×3 grid with 243 paylines in play. The number of ways to win can be increased to a maximum of 7,776 when xWays symbols land in view. Players must land at least three matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right to be awarded a win.

Avalanche Reels

Also known as cascading and tumbling reels, the avalanche reels activate when a winning combination is formed on the reels. Initially, all winning symbols are removed from the reels before new symbols fall from above to give extra chances to win.

Xways

Whenever an xWays symbol lands on the reels, it will expand to 2 – 4 symbols – always creating half symbols. The half symbol sizes pay the same as a normal sized symbol and will remain in place until there are no more wins or avalanches.

Lock ‘n’ Load

Each time a winning combo occurs, the next group of bullets will be loaded into the cylinder. The Lock ‘N’ Load feature will activate once it is fully loaded with six bullets, and no more winning combinations occur.

Once the bonus triggers, the gun will fire bullets at the high value characters on the reels. The characters that are hit will be replaced with an overlay wild. If there are five or less high paying symbols in view, the unused bullets will be saved in the cylinder for later.

Whacked Slot Bonus Features

The main bonus of the game is the Whacked Spins, which is triggered when three scatter symbols land in view. The feature will begin with 3 spins, and each reel has a starting multiplier of x1.

Whacked Spins

During the bonus, each time a coin lands in view, its value will be added to the bottom of its respective reel, and your spins will be reset to 3. When the feature ends, all values are added together, and the total is applied to your stake. You are, however, given a chance to increase the size of your wins drastically if the xRevolver cylinder symbol lands in view, with it awarding one of the following modifiers.

  • Coins: Random coin values will be added to the playfield.
  • xWays: Will always expand to reveal 3 coins ranging in value from 1x – 20x.
  • xNudge: This will expand and award three multipliers of x1, x,2 or x3, depending upon where it lands. For each nudge the symbol makes, it will add +1x onto its multiplier. Each xNudge value will multiply the collected value at the bottom.
  • Russian Roulette: When this is activated, it will reset the spin count to 3, but the spins do not reset again. When the spins reach zero, instead of adding up the values on each reel, they will be multiplied instead.

Nolimit Bonus Buy

If you are able to open up the bonus buy option on Whacked, then you can trigger the bonus round instantly at the cost of 88x the bet.

Pros

  • Reasonably priced bonus buy for those that can access it.
  • Not overcomplicated like some Nolimit games can appear to be.

Cons

  • Although the max win is still big, it's not compared to other NLC slots. This could be off-putting for some.

Final Thoughts

I did have quite high expectations for this slot after enjoying NLC's last release Disturbed, but unfortunately, I felt the provider has wasted an opportunity with Whacked, especially when they are known for pushing the boundaries on the topics they choose to create their games around. Yes, there is a bit of blue language in the game, but when you think of what Nolimit has knocked out in the past, Whacked is pretty tame in comparison.The main bonus is quite interesting, but just like I did, I'm sure you'll definitely be getting Hacksaw Gaming vibes from how it works, as it is very similar to the way a number of their bonus features operate, so there's nothing particularly new to engage in on that front.Overall, this has ended up in the bang average category, and it makes me wonder if Nolimit City can't create an out of this world mafia-themed online slot, then perhaps nobody can! So, it's back to binging the Sopranos for me and stuffing my face with pasta; see you on the next one.
