El Paso Gunfight xNudge: Slot Overview
If movies have taught us anything about the Wild
West, it's how ruthless, lawless, and 4️⃣ downright mean it could be. However, fact can
sometimes be stranger than fiction, and nowhere is this maxim more appropriate 4️⃣ than in
the infamous El Paso Gunfight. Calling it by its other name, 4 Dead in Five Seconds
gives a 4️⃣ better indication of what it was all about - a hail of bullets that left four
corpses in its wake 4️⃣ while creating a legend of the West in the process. The legend’s
name was Dallas Stoudenmire, and his claim to 4️⃣ fame has been further immortalised by
Nolimit City in their slot El Paso Gunfight xNudge.
Nolimit City is certainly no
stranger 4️⃣ to this part of the world, having blown players away with the likes of
Tombstone and Deadwood. El Paso Gunfight 4️⃣ xNudge is a follow-on of sorts, though not a
direct sequel as such. It feels like Nolimit has a real 4️⃣ interest in the Old West which
they channel into making solid games. Part of that passion is apparent visually, yet
4️⃣ music has also been a real highlight. So, while El Paso Gunfight's music doesn't get as
frantic as Deadwood's, its 4️⃣ upbeat saloon soundtrack is the perfect counterpoint to all
the gunfire, bullets, and blood being splashed across the screen.
Set against 4️⃣ a shelf
of liquor bottles, El Paso Gunfight xNudge is played over a 5-reel grid, offering up to
43,334 ways 4️⃣ to win when fully expanded. As well as choosing stakes from 25 p/c toR$/€50
per spin, players can also choose 4️⃣ their stance. This means flicking a switch above the
reels to set them in a 4-3-3-3-2 formation which is the 4️⃣ highly volatile setup, or a
2-3-3-3-4 layout which is the extremely volatile option. One other difference between
the two is 4️⃣ that the Marshal Badge and the Deputy Badge land on opposing reels (more on
that below). Moreover, when free spins 4️⃣ trigger, players can also alter the volatility,
except in Drunken Gundfiguth&r… Spins as you will see. As well as volatility, 4️⃣ the RTP
comes in two levels – 96.06% or a reduced 94.24% version.
In either setting, three
matching symbols are required 4️⃣ from the leftmost reel to trigger a payout.
Interestingly, the 10-A royals making up the low pays have a more 4️⃣ gothic look than the
usual Lucky Luke font typically used in a Western slot. Moving on to the 4 high 4️⃣ pays
symbols, we find the four souls who fell during the infamous gunfight. When you dig
into the story, it 4️⃣ is pretty complicated, but the four characters are the former
Marshall George Campbell, his friend John Hale, Constable Krempkau, and 4️⃣ a Mexican
bystander who unfortunately ended up in the way of Stoudenmire's pistol. Scoring a line
of five premiums is 4️⃣ worth a payout of 2 to 6 times the stake.
El Paso Gunfight xNudge:
Slot Features
The man Stoudenmire appears on the 4️⃣ xNudge Wilds, alongside a host of
other features, including Deputy and Marshall Raid, Gunfight Spins, Deputy or Marshall
Gunfight Spins, 4️⃣ Drunken Gundfiguth&r… Spins, 4 Dead in 5 Seconds, and feature
buys.
Starting with Stoudenmire xNudge Wilds, these are 3-row high wild 4️⃣ symbols
appearing on reels 2, 3, or 4 and always nudge to be fully visible. For every step the
Stoudenmire 4️⃣ Wild nudges, its win multiplier increases by 1. If more than one of these
wilds is in play, the multiplier 4️⃣ values are added together.
Deputy and Marshall Raids
are trigged when the Deputy Badge or Marshall Badge land in view. Deputy 4️⃣ Badges convert
all low-value symbols to one random low pay symbol, with the badge becoming the same
low-value symbol. The 4️⃣ Marshal Badge does the same thing, except it converts all
high-value symbols into one random high-value symbol. If both badges 4️⃣ land at the same
time, they transform to wilds and increase the reel area to 4-3-3-3-4.
8 Gunfight Spins
are triggered 4️⃣ when 3 scatters land in the base game where you choose the volatility
that suits (high or extremely high). Scatters 4️⃣ become jumping wilds during the feature
leaping to a new position on each spin. If a jumping wild lands on 4️⃣ a reel with a
Stoudemire Wild, any multiplier is doubled. Landing Deputy Badges or Marshall Badges
awards an extra spin, 4️⃣ and upgrades Gunfight Spins to either of the 3 rounds covered
next.
If you manage to land 3 scatters + a 4️⃣ badge in the base game, then 9 Deputy or
Marshall Gunfight Spins are awarded. Alternatively, badges during Gunfight Spins
upgrade 4️⃣ trigger the upgrade to this bonus game. Badge symbols landing in this round act
in the same way as described, 4️⃣ with the added benefit of them remaining in position for
the rest of the feature. Triggering scatter symbols also become 4️⃣ jumping wilds and can
upgrade Stoudenmire Wilds.
What you really want though, is 3 scatters to land with both
badges in 4️⃣ the base game, or both badges in Gunfight Spins. This leads to 10 Drunken
Gundfiguth&r… Spins, played on a 4-3-3-3-4 4️⃣ grid. Here you get 5 jumping wilds and
sticky Stoudenmire xNudge Wilds. Stoudenmire Wilds can be upgraded as mentioned above,
4️⃣ although now they lock in place for the rest of the round.
El Paso Gunfight xNudge also
has one more lethal 4️⃣ respin feature stuffed up a sleeve. Known as the 4 dead in 5
seconds feature, one respin is awarded where 4️⃣ all 5 character symbols (including the
Stoudenmire wild) land at once. Stoudenmire Wilds expand to cover all three middle
reels 4️⃣ for the respin and its multiplier appliers to the respin payout.
Lastly, for
players who like to fast forward to the 4️⃣ best parts, El Paso Gunfight xNudge lets
players buy Gunfight Spins, Deputy Gunfight Spins, Marshall Gunfight Spins, Drunken
Gundfiguth&r… Spins, 4️⃣ a 4 dead in 5 seconds Respin, or a lucky dip for 80x, 400x, 400x,
800x, 300x, or 238x the 4️⃣ bet respectively.
El Paso Gunfight xNudge: Slot Verdict
Let’s
just say it from the outset, El Paso Gunfight xNudge is another wild 4️⃣ stallion of a ride
from Nolimit City. Of their three Westerns to date, El Paso might not be the most
4️⃣ immediately attractive one, as its low key saloon doesn't grab you the way Deadwood's
grim small-town setting did, or even 4️⃣ Tombstone's unusual black, white, and red colour
scheme. The brown tones and plinking piano create an almost warm, inviting environment
4️⃣ to come in, kick your feet up, maybe sample some moonshine before maybe having a
chinwag or round of cards 4️⃣ with the locals.
That impression quickly fades, however, once
you're knee-deep in El Paso Gunfight's action, which is as volatile or 4️⃣ extremely
volatile as ever - depending on the setting you go for. Then you start to realise how
clever the 4️⃣ saloon location is. It's not the kind of place you expect a frenzied
shoot-out or some massive feature to erupt 4️⃣ in, so when it does, the juxtaposition is
even more jarring. Blasts of adrenaline pop at regular intervals, and nowhere 4️⃣ more so
than the 4 dead in 5 seconds feature. Whether triggered naturally or bought, you are
looking at one 4️⃣ short sharp hit of a spin.
Following on this point, El Paso Gunfight
continues Nolimit's tendency to include a menu of 4️⃣ bonus buy options. None of the price
tags might be as eye-catching as San Quentin xWays perhaps, but 300x for 4️⃣ a single
respin is not to be trifled with. In many ways, the intensity of the features
encapsulates the spirit 4️⃣ of the four dead in five seconds story where a crazy amount of
action was crammed into a very short 4️⃣ space of time.
The game might not have a bucking
bronco released from the pen feel Deadwood had, yet El Paso 4️⃣ Gunfight xNudge gets real
close at times and in many ways surpasses its older siblings. One area is potential
where 4️⃣ wins of up to 44,440x the bet are possible. This is obviously higher than the
previous two, and after seeing 4️⃣ a number of Nolimit slots achieving their max win, there
is little doubt some lucky gunslinger somewhere is going to 4️⃣ hit that.
If there is one
genre Nolimit City repeatedly gets right it is the Western one, and El Paso Gunfight
4️⃣ xNudge is another strong entry. It might not have the initial aesthetic impact of the
previous two, but when it 4️⃣ comes to features, potential, or sheer manic action, it's
quicker on the draw and blasting most of its competitors before 4️⃣ they've even realised
they're in a gunfight.
