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