El Paso Gunfight xNudge – NoLimit City

The Wild West had always been portrayed mainly in two ways in movies and songs: bloody, cruel and lawless or bloody, cruel and lawless with a hint of funny. Although not all gaming providers choose to show the dark side of this period, like Wild West Gold, most of them do prefer the ruthless Old West. This is the case for El Paso Gunfight xNudge from NoLimit City. This online slot is not only located in the Wild West, but it’s also based on a famous gunfight in 1881, Four Dead in Five Second, which included the town marshal, a constable, a former town marshal and his friend, and an unlucky bystander.

The game follows the story pretty accurately, making the characters interact with each other over two bonus rounds and providing you a unique and thrilling experience on any device, from mobile devices to tablets or PCs.

El Paso Gunfight xNudge – what you need to know

El Paso Gunfight xNudge offers a one-way ticket to the Wild West where you’ll have to join the gunfight and hope you’ll be the one leaving El Paso street with the treasure of up to 44,440x the total bet in your pockets. The game comes with so many features and options that just when you say you’ve seen everything this slot has to offer, you’ll find yourself discovering something more.

PROS

  • Whooping max win of 44,440x
  • A bunch of features
  • High volatility and extreme volatility available

CONS

  • Visuals and soundtrack not as immersive as in the other two Wild West-themed titles from the provider

El Paso Gunfight xNudge – Theme and background

The action in El Paso Gunfight xNudge takes place on El Paso street, in a saloon where locals like to play cards or enjoy a drink. The wooden grid is set in front of a shelf with liquor bottles, accompanied by a saloon-type of music that brings the entire picture together.

Every symbol fits the Wild West theme perfectly, with badges, armed characters, and Calaveras that act as Scatters hitting the reels.

El Paso Gunfight xNudge – Gameplay

The gameplay in El Paso Gunfight xNudge is downright exciting. First, you can choose the reel setup and volatility you want to play with, changing the slot’s behavior. Second, there’re a lot of things going on in the base game, so that you won’t have to wait for those free spins to hit.

The RTP of the game reaches certain levels, depending on the bonus buy feature. However, the general RTP is 96.05%, but it can reach 96.79% in the Drunken Gundfiguth&R… bonus buy feature. The volatility is selected by you and can be either high or extreme, each with its own advantages. Depending on the volatility, you can play with a 4-3-3-3-2 formation, or with a 2-3-3-3-4 one. It’s really up to you.

Now, let’s talk about symbols. First, let me tell you how nicely done they are. Each character is represented by a colour so that you don’t have to remember them by their names which are pretty hard to remember if you ask me. Campbell (the one with a red vest) is the highest-paying symbol, awarding 6x the bet for five on a payline, followed by Krempkau and Hale, with 3.2x and2.40x awards. The low-value symbol amongst the characters is the Bystander, the poor Mexican man who, in the original story, took a bullet for doing nothing wrong, with a max award of 2x the bet. The royals are also part of the paytable, with top prizes of up to 1x the bet.

Dallas Stoudenmire, the main character, hits as the Wild with a multiplier that nudges to become fully visible every time it lands on the screen.

El Paso Gunfight xNudge – features

You don’t think NoLimit City will let you leave their Wild West slot without a good story to tell, do you? Raids, gunfight spins, and respins await to be triggered in the El Paso Gunfight xNudge slot!

El Paso Gunfight xNudge – stance feature

This option gives you the chance to select the reel setup you want to play on, along with the volatility. There’re two options to choose from:

  • High Volatility – this is the option the game starts with, offering a 4-3-3-3-2 setup that allows the Deputy Badge symbol to hit on the first reel and the Marshal Badge on the last one.
  • Extreme Volatility – unlocks a 2-3-3-3-4 formation where the two badges hit differently: the Marshal Badge lands on the first reel and the Deputy one on the last.

When triggering the free spins, there’s a chance you get to choose the reel formation in all modes, but the Drunken Gundfiguth&R… free spins bonus.

El Paso Gunfight xNudge – Stoudenmire XNudge wilds feature

The Stoudenmire Wild can replace all the other symbols except for the Scatter and Badges, hitting on reels 2, 3 and 4. Every time it appears on the screen, it nudges its way up or down to become fully visible. Every cell the symbol covers increases the win multiplier by 1. If there’re more Wilds in the same spin, their multipliers add to each other for an even bigger win multiplier.

El Paso Gunfight xNudge – deputy and marshal raid feature

The Deputy Badge and the Marshal Badge have different roles in the El Paso Gunfight xNudge slot. The Marshal Badge can award bigger prizes as it turns all high-value symbols on the screen into the same high-paying instances. The Deputy Badge does the same thing, but with low-value symbols.

If you hit both badges on the same spin, all mentioned above will happen. What’s more, the reel setup transforms into a 4-3-3-3-4 formation, making the two badges act as Wilds.

El Paso Gunfight xNudge – gunfight spins feature

The Four Dead in Five Seconds story revolves around a gunfight, so it’s natural to find such a feature in the game as well. Three Scatters activate this round, awarding no less than eight free games.

Before the free spins start, you’ll have to pick the stance, keeping in mind that the rules mentioned in the Stance section fully apply. Regardless of what you select, the three Scatters will turn into jumping Wilds throughout the round, changing their positions on every spin. Also, you can upgrade your free spins to Deputy Gunfight Spins, Marshal Gunfight Spins, or Drunken Gundfiguth&R… Spins by landing one of the badges or both on the screen.

Moreover, the game awards one extra free spin for every Marshal or Deputy Badge you land. If a Stoudenmire Wild hits on the same reel as a jumping Wild, its multiplier doubles.

El Paso Gunfight xNudge – deputy or marshal spins feature

You can activate one for these free games either in the base game or in the gunfight spins. In the base game, the deputy or the marshal spins can be triggered with three Scatters and one of the badges on the screen, giving you the possibility to pick the stance.

Just like in the Gunfight spins, the three Scatter become jumping Wilds, and each Badge symbol that lands awards more free spins. What’s more, the Badge symbols stay sticky until the end of the round.

El Paso Gunfight xNudge – drunken gundfiguth&r…spins feature

The Drunken Gundfiguth&R… spins round consists of 10 free games that can be triggered in the base game with three Scatters on the middle reel and both badges. In the Gunfight spins, this round is unlocked when both badges hit the screen at the same time.

The reels transform into the 4-3-3-3-4 formation, turning the Scatters and the Badges into jumping wilds. When a Stoudenmire Wild lands on a reel with a jumping Wild, its multiplier doubles. The difference between this round and the other two is that the jumping wilds are removed and the Stoudenmire is locked on the reel, along with its multiplier, until the end of the round.

El Paso Gunfight xNudge – 4 dead in 5 seconds feature

When all five characters appear on the screen (the four high-paying ones and the Stoudenmire Wild), the gunfire starts, and this round is triggered. The game awards one respin during which the triggering Stoudenmire Wild expands to cover all three cells of the reel, with its multiplier remaining active.

El Paso Gunfight xNudge – My verdict

NoLimit City isn’t at its first Wild West-themed slot, El Paso Gunfight xNudge having two older brothers to fight with. Its other title Deadwood features a darker, heavier note, introducing you into a world of ruthless gunslingers where a juicy win of 13,950x the bet awaits. Tombstone is another videoslot from the provider, with a rather different approach. Its black, white and red colour scheme sets it apart not only in the developer’s catalogue but also in the entire slot category.

El Paso Gunfight xNudge, with its story based on a real event, its bonus rounds and changeable reel setup manages to find its own place in NoLimit City’s offer (and players’ hearts) without interfering with the other two.

However, what all three slots have in common is the bonus buy option. In El Paso Gunfight xNudge, you can buy the Gunfight Spins for 80x the bet, where an RTP of 96.27% is active, while the Deputy or Marshal free games can be brought with 400x the bet with RTPs of 96.44% or 96.53%. The drunken Gundfiguth&R…spins can be yours for no less than 800x the bet, activating an RTP of 96.79%. You can also instantly activate the 4 dead in 5 second round for 300x the bet, enjoying an RTP of 96.12%. The game comes with a mysterious bonus pick too, for 238x the bet with a 93.35% RTP. So, if you feel particularly brave today, you can go ahead and buy the Lucky Draw bonus. You know what they say, nothing good came from something safe.

To sum up, El Paso Gunfight xNudge can offer blasts of adrenaline especially in the free spins where bullets, wins, and jumping wilds merge into an action-packed gameplay that might lead to big wins.
