Nolimit City Slots: RTP, xWays Games and Casinos

Nolimit City is a slot studio from Sweden that became part of Evolution in 2022. It has its own set of features with names that start with an x, such as xWays, xNudge and xBomb, and many of its games combine several of them. The themes are darker than most slots: prisons, horror and crime stories are common.

San Quentin xWays is a prison themed game built on the xWays feature, with a max win of 150,000 times the bet in our review. Mental is set in an asylum and lists a max win of 66,666 times the bet. Mental 2 is the newer follow up, starting at 108 ways and splitting symbols with Fire Frames and Fire Reels, with a cap of 99,999 times the bet. San Quentin 2: Death Row is the prison sequel, with the highest published RTP of the Nolimit City games we review at 96.13% and a max win of 200,000 times the bet, second only to Tombstone RIP.

Tombstone RIP has the biggest ceiling of the games we review at 300,000 times the bet, with Cowboy multipliers from 5x to 999x in its free spins. Fire in the Hole xBomb is a mining game with cascading reels, a grid that grows to 6 rows and 46,656 ways, and a 60,000x cap. Deadwood xNudge is a Western with 576 ways and a choice between the steadier Hunter Spins and the more volatile Gunslinger Spins, with a max win of 13,950 times the bet.

Misery Mining is another mining game, with 96.09% RTP and a 70,000x cap. Das xBoot lists 96.03% and 55,200 times the bet, and East Coast vs West Coast lists 96.04% and 30,618 times. Punk Rocker is the only one in this group rated high, one step below the rest, with 96.01% RTP and a max win of 15,072 times the bet. The other ten are rated extreme volatility and are made for players who accept long losing runs for the chance of a very large bonus.

An xWays symbol expands into several copies of a symbol and adds rows to its reel, so the number of ways to win jumps on that spin. An xNudge wild nudges up or down until it fills the reel and raises a multiplier with each step. In Deadwood, the Hunter xNudge wilds add their multipliers together. In the free spins these features can stack, which explains the high max wins.

Most Nolimit City slots also have an optional higher bet mode, often called xBet, and a bonus buy with one or more levels. Both raise the cost of each spin or round. They are switched off in some countries and are often banned while a casino bonus is active.

The published RTP figures of the Nolimit City games we review sit in a narrow band, from 96.01% for Punk Rocker to 96.13% for San Quentin 2: Death Row. Mental and Tombstone RIP list 96.08%, Mental 2 and Fire in the Hole xBomb 96.06%, and San Quentin xWays, Deadwood xNudge and Das xBoot 96.03%. Those numbers are close to the market average, but the volatility is far from average, and ten of the eleven games are rated extreme in our reviews. In a short session, the result depends much more on whether the bonus lands than on the RTP. Our guide to RTP and volatility explains why. As always, check the RTP line in the game rules, because a casino can run a lower setting.

First make sure the casino is in the list above. Then look at withdrawal limits, since a Nolimit City bonus can pay far more than a normal week of cashouts allows at some casinos. Each casino review lists the limits and payout times. If you want to play with a welcome bonus, check the max bet and whether bonus buys are allowed, and test the offer in the wagering calculator. Current codes are on the bonus codes page.
