Deadwood xNudge is a 2020 Nolimit City western slot that introduced many players to the studio's xNudge wild. It runs on five reels in a 3-4-4-4-3 shape, with nudging wilds that add to their multiplier each time they move. Sheriff badges can turn low symbols into wilds, and three free spins modes lead to a 13,950x maximum win. It suits you if you want classic Nolimit mechanics on a simpler grid.
How does Deadwood xNudge work?
Wins form from matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left. The middle three reels are four rows tall, and the outer reels are three rows tall.
The Hunter xNudge wild is four rows high. When it lands partly visible, it nudges into full view, and every nudge adds one to its multiplier. If several nudging wilds are part of the same line, their multipliers are added together. The Shoot Out feature uses Sheriff badges on reels one and five to convert low card symbols on the middle reels into wilds.
What are the Deadwood xNudge bonus features?
Hunter Spins gives eight free spins with at least one nudging wild guaranteed on the middle reels each spin. Gunslinger Spins also gives eight spins, but wild nudges build a multiplier that persists through the whole round with no upper limit.
Shoot Out Free Spins triggers on three scatters plus two Sheriff badges and can also upgrade an active round. Free spins arrive roughly once every 197 spins. The Nolimit Bonus feature buy may be removed in some regulated markets, such as the UK.
Is Deadwood xNudge worth playing? RTP and volatility explained
The RTP is 96.03%. Nolimit City lists a single RTP on its game page, but casinos in some markets can run lower settings, so open the game rules to confirm the figure at your casino.
Nolimit rates the volatility as extreme, though the hit frequency of around 40% is higher than in many of its later titles. Most of the return still comes from the free spins modes.
An RTP of 96.03% is a long-run average measured over millions of spins. In theory about 96.03 units come back for every 100 wagered, but a single session can end far above or below that. Volatility describes how those returns are spread out, and at very high volatility a large share of the return comes from rare, large hits, so long losing runs are part of normal play.
