Nolimit City preps the chopping block in its latest release, Dead Men Walking
Leroy wakes up every day with a smile on his face! Why you may ask? Well executing is a dirty job but Leroy just loves to swing his axe in Nolimit City’s latest release, Dead Men Walking. This medieval-themed slot falls in Nolimit City’s classic slot category with the likes of Seamen, Gator Hunters and Highway To Hell.
Reel Area
The chopping block features a 3-3-3-3-3 reel setup with three Fire Pits above the reels each linked to a unique base game feature. These features appear as scrolls and when they land there is a chance that the corresponding features will be triggered:
- xWays® (Orange Scroll) – Transforms into a normal paying symbol, revealing 2-4 symbols of the same kind and increases number of win ways
- Infectious Wild (Red Scroll) – Transforms into a random symbol and all instances of that symbol will become Wilds. If more than 1 lands, each will randomly choose a different symbol.
- xSplit® (Grey Scroll) – Splits all symbols on its row and doubles the symbol size whilst converting itself into a wild.
xNudge® Wilds
It’s a long walk from the cell to the town square. xNudge® Wilds will always nudge until fully visible, increasing the Wild Multiplier by 1 with each nudge. Once fully visible the Dead Man’s March begins and moves 1 step left, further increasing its multiplier by 1 until it reaches the first reel. If an xNudge® Wild reaches the left-most reel and another xNudge® Wild is present on the reels, then it transfers its multiplier to the nearest one. Dead Man’s March will be awarded until the last xNudge® Wild reaches the first reel.
Dead Man’s Gold
No amount of gold could get you out of this one. Landing 3, 4 or 5 Bonus symbols will trigger 3, 4 or 5 Dead Man’s Gold Bonus Spins respectively. Bonus spins are on a 5×5 reel where coins and Feature Coins can land. When 4 or more coins align vertically or horizontally, they are collected and paid out. The following Feature Coins can land on the reels:
- Collector – Collects the value of all active coins
- Cloner – Copies the highest coin value to all active coins
- Multiplier – Doubles the value of all visible coins
- King’s Grace – Resets the bonus spins counter to its initial value
Reaper’s Gold
Things get taken to the next level when upgrading normal Bonus symbols to Gold Bonus symbols. Landing 3, 4 or 5 Gold Bonus symbols trigger 3, 4 or 5 Reaper’s Gold Bonus Spins respectively. In addition to features of Dead Man’s Gold, Feature Coins are triggered as soon as they land. Pretty killer if you ask us!
Nolimit Boosters
Make sure to make your last few days memorable with the following Nolimit Boosters:
- Bonus 1 – More likely to activate Dead Man’s Gold. When 1 Bonus symbol lands on the reel area, 1-4 additional Bonus symbols may be added to the Bonus Board.
- Booster 2 – Bonus symbols are upgraded to Gold Bonus symbols to trigger Reaper’s Gold.
- Booster 3 – More likely to activate Reaper’s Gold. When 1 Gold Bonus symbol lands on the reel area, 1-4 additional Gold Bonus symbols may be added to the Bonus Board.
- Booster 4 – guarantees a minimum of 1 xNudge® Wild.
Extra Spin
In Dead Man’s Gold and Reaper’s Gold, players might get the opportunity to purchase an additional spin when a round ends. The additional spins will keep the multiplier state of the symbols of the previous spins. The cost of the spins is calculated based on multiplier values.
We wish you the very best on your first and last dead man’s march. Dead Men Walking has a maximum payout of 25,313x the base bet. Dead Men Walking is rated as “Highly Volatile” delivering the thrilling high-stakes gameplay that Nolimit City fans know and love.
Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said: “In life you do bad things, you go to jail. In Dead Men Walking, you go straight to the chopping block, which sucks. It’s not all doom and gloom tho. xNudge® Wilds that walk are sick and Fire Pits that can trigger xWays®, xSplit® and Infectious Wilds are pretty sick too! We’re also debuting 2 new kinds of hold ‘n’ spin (kind of) bonus games that players will definitely find interesting.”
‘Dead Men Walking’ will be available to all Nolimit City partners on September 9th, 2025.
