Hot Nudge Slots
Give us crazy ideas and we will put them into a video slot, no limits! That just about sums up the mission of rising newcomer NoLimit City. And there’s no better proof of that than their most recent release, Hot Nudge, which takes players into the powerful world of engines with superstacked symbols, nudging hot multiplier wilds, and super mega wins of up to 2,000x your stake.
NoLimit City is a relatively new games provider, but its original slot concept has seen its following grow at a rapid rate as the company continues to extend its presence across an increasing number of casino operators. This provider’s focus is on quality over quantity, showing new levels of creativity and uniqueness with every game release.
Rev Up the Engine
Here imagination knows no bounds, down to the smallest detail. Engine-driven reels shake the entire screen at the start of every spin as they rev up the speed before coming to an equally dramatic stop. The entire game window is part of a complete engine, stretching the color theme to include the intricately designed pay symbols which lead to some stunning animations on winning spins, accompanied by a dark and mysterious mechanical soundtrack.
All the action is happening on a set of five reels, four rows and 40 fixed paylines with an RTP of 96.29%. Play Hot Nudge for as little as 0.20 coins up to a high roller-friendly 100 coins to trigger any of the features with the potential to produce mega wins on every spin. For the record, the maximum payout per game round is limited to 250,000.
Tall They Stand
Hot Nudge has a total of seven pay symbols, plus wilds and scatters. The main characters, King of Diesel, Queen of Steam and Jack of Punk, are four-rows-tall superstacked symbols. The low-value symbols are diamonds, clubs, hearts and spades, appearing in maximum double stacks. A four-rows-high “Hot Wild” symbol is included on reels two, three and four, substituting for all symbols except scatters and nudging into full view to multiply line wins. Scatters are tiles in black and yellow marked with “Hot Scatter”, appearing only on the middle reels and lighting up on every teaser spin.
Pays for a single five of a kind range from 2x to 5x your stake. Initially this doesn’t sound like much, but having them stacked on a few reels and combined with hot multiplier wilds will see smallish wins increase instantly to mega or even super mega wins.
Heat’Em Up
Hot wild symbols are a bright tile standing four rows tall on reels two, three and four. Any hot wild appearing in partial view on the three middle reels in a spin will nudge up or down to cover all four rows, increasing the win multiplier by 1x for each nudge. The maximum multiplier can grow to 10x when all three hot wilds land on the top or bottom reel positions, as each will nudge three times to reach the full stack for a 3x win multiplier. A small window together with a bar of flashing lights to the right of the game window will display the total multiplier for the spin.
Expand Them All
Hitting two full-sized character symbols on the front two reels will trigger the Hot Nudge feature. The engine revs up to the maximum to hit more of the same symbols on the following reels and expand them to cover all four rows if they land only in partial view. This is the very moment for the game to score the top base game win of 200x your stake, when King of Diesel symbols land on all reels. Add hot multiplier wilds into the mix, and the win can shoot up to 400x your bet, reaching a maximum of 2,000x.
Can You Take the Heat?
Three scatters anywhere on the middle reels in one spin will award seven free spins. Don’t expect additional multipliers or special features in the round, but more free spins are added for each scatter landing on a spin. This extends the bonus round for more chances to hit big wins. The amount depends on which position the scatter lands, as it will nudge down until it disappears from the game window, adding one free spin for each nudge.
More Expanding and Nudging Symbols
The concept of expanding or nudging symbols is not new. It can be found in numerous variations in countless online slots, adding not only suspense to the gaming experience, but also increasing the chance to hit mega wins. Fans of fairy tales can try Scruffy Duck from NetEnt? to see the ugly duckling expand into the most beautiful swan princess to act as a wild symbol.
A more recent release is House of Doom, a highly volatile game from Play’n GO with expanding wilds and scatters in free spins. You can even enter the fantasy world of Beauty and the Beast from Yggdrasil, where symbols nudge into view to award higher wins.
Ready to Start the Engine?
Our answer is most certainly yes. NoLimit City has delivered on its pledge to turn “crazy ideas” into entertaining games. Spinning the reels on Hot Nudge is exciting on every engine rev-up, with the hot wilds providing the potential to score some extremely serious wins. But don’t just turn up the engine. Raise your speaker volume to enjoy the dramatic soundtrack – the icing on the cake that turns every spin into a mysterious moment. The sounds on this slot are just incredibly authentic, so tune in and start winning!
