The British era of Anarchism makes a glorious return on a set of slot reels. NoLimit City went to great length to recreate the feel and appearance of the rebellious periods that had their mark on the United Kingdom. A graffiti wall with remnants of concert posters and other scribblings serves as the canvas of an artistically designed game window that could come straight from Banksy’s paintbrushes. Punk rock tracks from Pussy Riot blare from the speakers while you spin the reels with hilarious punk symbols depicting various political figures.

Punk Rocker Slot Features

Prepare for a hilarious slotting experience that is jampacked with modifiers, features, punk rock and unusual messages. Hitting no win on a spin that looks like it could deliver the goods will get you “Bollocks”, “Shit!” or “LOOOL” displayed across the reels. Very much what we slot nerds exclaim during our sessions. And there is a lot more, so let’s take a closer look.

The first modifier is NoLimit’s proprietary development called xWays, which will increase the number of symbols on a reel and thus create more ways to win. Any time an X-icon lands, it will reveal two to four matching symbols, raising the number of positions on the respective reel from three to between four and six. Punk characters symbols can get super expanded to 10, 15 or 20 stacked symbols. Since the symbol can appear on all six reels, the mechanic can lead to up to 46,656 ways to win. A display on top of the centre reels will show the current ways after the expansion. All xWays icons in view will reveal a common pay symbol once the dust settles.

Next in line are the Molotov Wilds which can appear in the base game and the Riot Respin feature only. They will turn all position above it into the wilds for the current spin. Naturally, that will only be helpful if a wild lands on the middle or bottom row.

Don’t start rolling your eyes when only two scatters land in what we know as a teaser spin since it will trigger the Riot Respin feature that has the potential to deliver mega wins. First, the sixth reel is uncovered, increasing the win ways from 243 to 729, followed by the triggering scatters being turned into Molotov Wilds. They will act in the same fashion and transform any symbols above them as well into Molotov Wilds. All reels containing at least one wild are then locked and the remaining ones will respin. xWays icons can land too, further increasing the number of ways to win.

Get ready to head bang when you land three or four scatters anywhere on the reels in one spin as it will trigger the main features on Punk Rocker. Three scatters will award 8 Anarchy Free Spins while four scatters will get you 8 Civil War Free Spins with neither offering retriggers as such but you can win more from the Enhancer Reel. The sixth reel is unlocked for the bonus round, giving you a minimum 729 ways to win.

The triggering scatters will turn into Jumping Wilds, staying on screen for the duration of the feature and moving to a new random position on every free spin. However, they will move between reel two and six only. At the top of the game window, you will see the Enhancer Reel appearing with an underground train zipping by. It spins horizontally together with the main reels and contains a variety of enhancers that will be awarded for the current free spin when they stop on the same reel as a Jumping Wild.

• Wild Multiplier: Ranging from x2 to x25. Multipliers on different reels are added. Only wins containing the multiplier wild are multiplied.
• Guaranteed 4-high xWays: A xWays symbol is guaranteed land on the respective reel.
• Extra Free Spins: Awards +1 or +2 free spins.
• Reel Expansion: All reels expand to a 6-symbol height for the current free spin, creating the full 46,656 ways to win.
• Extra Jumping Wild: One Jumping Wild is added to the reels for the remainder of the feature.

Standard Molotov Wilds cannot appear during the free spins but more xWays icons can land with the potential to increase the overall number of ways to win to a seizable 46,656 ways. The main difference between the two features is the fact that you will have three or four roaming wilds on the screen. More wilds mean more chances to trigger an enhancer and score a win.

Lastly, for those impatient among us, the game offers to use the NoLimit Shortcut. It allows players to buy a bonus feature at a fixed cost, however, only for those residing in countries where the option is not restricted by regulations. On Punk Rocker, it will cost you 80x your base bet for the Anarchy Free Spins and a rather steep 243x for the Civil War Free Spins. The RTP increases to 96.64% and 96.62% respectively.
