Sound, especially during bonus, 300%, totally epic.
Mechanical wise, xWays got upgraded into Infectious xWays, while still maintaining the possibility of malfunction. xNudge also got upgraded to allow a multi of up to x999 if it decide to keep expanding beyond reel area, and also comes with a chance of malfunction and turns into an ordinary wild. All those points are pretty good.
The Balkan xBet, designed to greatly increase bonus freq and cost per spin. But instead of the classic approach (guarantees 2 scatter), now it guarantees a new scatter to land after every respin, quite interesting design as well.
Volatility: Still very high. Personally I'm down like 2Kx w/ Balkan xBet, got a single 4S, and one or two wins above 100x, which is quite brutal.
Bonus: One thing that's good about the original Outsourced, is that you tend to hit something on every spin. But now there's more dead spins, especially those "3+1" bonus (First 3 dead spin before paying you 5x-30x on last spin) aren't fun. Things definitely feels more scripted to me.
And a little bit unsatisfied about the special bonus (Filthiest spin) can only be achieved w/ bonus buy and it's not that exciting, just 4S but paved w/ 2x on all positions to begin with.
As a Ways game, it's ok. In-between "good" and "bad", but I'd say it's more towards the "good" direction.
Bonus is base game, mainly with more drop arrows, and it progressively eliminates low value symbols from the possible result pool. However those "mini-upgrade" doesn't feel very helpful to me before it upgrades to the final stage. It only narrow down the range without promising anything great. Sometimes say you need it to drop in J or Q (or Wild) to win something but the result range is down to A or higher. Oops, now the only out being Wild (it's really hard to get it)
Biggest minus comes from sounds, like those whistle for 2x wins (which is still a loss when using extra bet), those are totally unnecessary, or at least make the threshold higher. The what I call "Malfunction horn fart" sound for missed bonus tease is just pure evil. Free taunt for players who land scatters on first 2 reels but fail to trigger a bonus? No, I don't want that!
"Hot 100" instead of Hacksaw's traditional "Hidden Epic Bonus" is an interesting new design.
Base game potential is...not very high, I'd assume, as the game rule mentioned no coins are present during base game (without the use of 500x epic spins), making the game pretty much purely focused on bonus trigger.
Another small minus from the topic being Zeus again. Feels like Zeus is one of the most popular character for slot designers?
And I think it's not actually coins, since you usually get only 30x instead of 1000x for landing 3 10x coins. I consider it as a special premium symbol that can also land in stack of 2-10, and always pays 1x per Way regardless of 3/4/5 OAKs.
Previous review can't be edited so have to delete it and post it again to update the score.(Previous review, approx. 1 year ago)
USER SCORE: 7
So I think with 13k spins I’ve spent more than 10 hours on this and I’m ready to give it a rating.
Really hard to rate it, I’d say somewhere between 7.0-7.5 and I’ll go with a 7 here.Played with Real money on Stake.
Natural spins:
7537 spins (7537.0x)
Result -2131.3x
Nothing >300x.xBet (120%) spins:
5970 spins (7164.0x)
Result -1402.2x
Had two 500x from it.Overall Somewhat disappointed.
Not going to spoiler those one by one but you need to know there’s a lot of things going on that made me unsatisfied.
Feels much more focused on Streamers. Both direct and upgraded super bonus are almost unreachable, I did a 1000 action regular buy and I think none of them got upgraded to super bonus, although the less likely scenario is that it went sub 300x and unnoticed. Plus the 3000x super spin, yeah streamers will be happy.
But I do appreciate base game being more fun since you can usually get a few revolver feature per 1k spins.The bonus really annoys me. Slaughter spins? Or Scripted spins?
This might be the main reason why I feel it’s much less volatile than Tombstone Rip.
WHY so many of those stuck between 20x-30x? The original Tombstone Rip did way better i nterms of regular bonus math.
One of today’s sessions, I got 13 bonus. One being sub 10x, and for the other 12, half of those are between 20x and 30x. And it’s getting frustrating: whenever the total win amount reaches 20x-30x I got scared because I know that dead spin party is coming to me.
It’s like total spins doesn’t matter, level doesn’t matter, if you’re determined to get only 20x there’s nothing you can do, the more spins in total would only lead to more dead spins. 23 spins for a 40x total win? Sorry but according to Evolution Financial Department’s decision, that’s the amount of win you can have from this bonus, sorry sir.(Update, Aug-1st-2026)
-1 for quality issue.
Just look at this reel 2 and 5: (https://imgur.com/a/QdPC9hO)
This base game 2S dead spins visual bug has been there for MONTHS. I did some bug report but this simple visual bug on the frontend somehow still managed to slip under the radar for months. Side note: similar bug also happens on Deadwood Rip.And I still occasionally give it 300, 500 or maybe 1k extra bet spins, and did hit a 2Kx, one or two 1Kx along with some 500x. The most surprising one is a base game 900x.(https://imgur.com/a/vWBA9Iz)
Ever since the beginning of time, most of those popular Scatter Pays follows the more or less same formula: first you have a scatter win, then apply a multi on top of it through whatever means: can be a multi symbols (gates), or from multi on symbol's position (duck hunters), or other ways to give it a multi (gator hunters).
Glad to see a new approach to win big on a scatter pays game. Hit a win to remove the symbol on top, and get the value of prize card beneath it. A minor issue being the prize value is already known. I'd suggest a chance of mystery prize card that reveals its value upon collected.
Still ace tier visual, and also kept some mechanics from Deck of Scurra.
It also got a special "Hidden Epic" 5S Bonus that sounds exciting, pretty neat I'd say.
The key feature in this game being the Shady Nudge: it can be very satisfying to watch. Base game potential: In a few thousands of real money play, I can occasionally hit some 20x-100x, but it still feels tough to me. Symbols are cheap (0.5x-2x for 5 OAKs), and winning with a lot of ways aren't easy. Yes, I can get some TV features but it's usually <20x. I think 5%-10% of the times (if not less) I get 50x+ from it. However if one choose to do a super spin that guarantees a TV feature, that's going to cost 70x+. I assume there's a very high chance, all those TV feature we spin into are the nerfed version.
Bonus is more friendly comparing to other shady lady games which are quite brutal. Well, except every once in a while you get a bonus w/ no TV feature besides +1 spins, which is going to pay you a few peanuts. Never a big fan of those "creepy" bonus math, that usually being cool and good but every once in a while, it gives you an absolutely terrible one.
Another minus being visual bugs: winning symbols are highlighted as soon as that reel settles, and 2 scatter tease w/o fast spin will cause the rest of the reels spins very slow.
Solid 8, but has some problem here and there, and somewhat far away from a 9.
Noticeable new features and improvements:
1. 3 Scatters now guarantees an unnerfed regular bonus, no more nerfed regular bonus or no bonus such kind of bullshits.
2. Positions can get upgraded during bonus, which increases the minimum coin quality on that position in case of coin reveal happens. And the last upgrade is incredibly powerful, coin value skyrockets from min 25x to min 1Kx+. Combined with the coin multi during the bonus guess this can to be a "shortcut" to 5Kx and 10Kx?
3. The lucky bamboo feature can also happen during coin reveal, it's a quite interesting new approach of hold-n-win mechanic. Although one problem being it only award coins, no collector or multiplier symbols.
Problems
Bonus buy: Either buy super (1200x) or lucky draw (150x). Even the cheapest option here seems quite expensive (relatively), as I'm getting used to those 70x-100x regular bonus price. Not to mention it's also quite volatile: if you didn't hit the super, the bonus can easily go horrifically wrong.
Coin reveal: I feel 25x and 50x coins are landing too frequent, and not enough collector and multi symbols.
Lucky bamboo: twice the price of a Coin Reveal, but coins only. Zero chance of getting collectors and/or multi. Also feels somewhat scripted: everything is cool and good until it suddenly triple dead spin and it's over. I would prefer designs like Retro Tape where you begin with a fixed amount of spins, and occasionally +1/+2 spins during the feature.
I believe the best Megapots slot till this point.
The entire atmosphere looks quite good, all those fruits, gems and symbols of different color chilling in the outer space. Sound is not bad as well.
The entire hold-n-spin is very well designed, also being the main reason why this game earned itself a rating of 8 from me. Match 3 to merge into a more valuable symbols is satisfying to watch, and it also free up space for more symbol to land in. Especially the design of jackpot is way better comparing to older Megapots games such as Big Bucks Deluxe: Jackpot symbols appear less on its own, and can also be achieved by merging higher level fruits. A very noticable improvement being: Those jackpot symbols now also comes with a value as well. This ensures player still walk away with some decent prize even if they only get 1 or 2 Jackpot symbols.
Base game isn't fun enough if one can't land 6 fruits and trigger the hold-n-spin feature. Bonus is okay, it's pretty much Big Bucks Deluxe but being fixed 4096 Ways instead of Megaways.
Math and volatility might be another problem: currently at 40k+ rounds played on Stake, the top 3 highest multi is only 822x. 2nd place is already sub 500x, being 381x and third place being my 277x I got earlier today.
Nolimit City proved them self to be the king of creativity once again.
10 is well deserved. It doesn't have to be absolutely flawless, just enough pros over cons and I'd give a 10.
Start as a simple 3-3-3-3-3 reel area, but now with up to 12 features! Never seen THAT many features on a single game.
Many details are pretty weel designed too: The animation of Wild symbol; The symbol for 3S/4S/5S bonus, the Background transition from the airport security check during base game to the airplane during bonus; Big win transition super smooth; And of course Max Win screen looks super cool.
Base game potential, without a doubt, is sufficient enough, and those features also add some fun to the base game so you won't get too bored on the way.
Bonus, I assume different features got a different weight to get selected. I'm glad the lithium battery is given a pretty high weight given its powerful and exciting.
Grinded for a few hours on the release day and already got 2 natural 4S w/o extra bet. Got a few 100x and 200x here and there. I'd say 3-feature is quite common, and 4-feature is noticeable harder. Can't remember whether I've seen a 5-feature or not, but definitely not a single 6+ feature.
And extra credit for not having "buy extra spins".
Problems.
1. Bonus freq is low, and 2S does not trigger any feature. Especially the 5S freq is just ridiculous (1 in 682.6K no xBet, or 1 in 364.1K xBet. I think at this point it's even harder than a 5S Hidden Epic Bonus on any hacksaw game, and also being less rewarding.)
2. Lucky Draw seems to have only 3 possible base game outcomes: scatter on middle 3 reels, or first 4 reels, or all 5 reels.
3. Gore involved in the big win's last part. This is not Tombstone Rip and Gore is unrelated to the theme so I don't want to see it.
Suggestions.
1, I'd say this game worth to have a side bet feature:
Pay 1.00x, if 1+ feature happens you get ~3.00x
Pay 0.80x, if 2+ feature happens you get ~10.00x
And so on... The last one being pay 0.05x, if all 12 feature happens, max win awarded.
Or just fixed price 0.50x, pays 1.00x all the way up to max win depending on the amount of feature that got triggered.
Of course I'd take a "pity prize" option as well, like +0.10x cost, if EXACTLY 2 scatter lands, pays like 1.50x-2.00x. Not big money but enough to prevent me from tilting due to fail to hit a bonus and provides huge emotional value.
2. 4S/5S should begin with more spins comparing to a 3S bonus.
3. Bonus upgrade (additional feature get selected), I'd suggest it happens upon landing additional scatter symbols during bonus instead of occurring randomly.
4. I'd like to see an option "xBet-2": xBet and guarantees at least 1+ feature every spin. As well as 6-Mile High Cube, as there's currently a huge gap between 3-Mile High Club and 12-Mile High Club (xMENTAL mode)
Le Fisherman but now w/ enhancer blocks that can boost any coin, clover or even pot. Simple yet effective new design.
9 on its own no problem at all. But due to the Aesthetic fatigue (We've got too many Le games) I had to go with an 8.
(Updated Jul-7th-2026)
Update: -2 due to volatility issue and gameplay experience on my side.
I did hit an base game epic rainbow w/o extra bet, which is probably my biggest win on this slot. But overall it's cons over pros.
The original Le Bandit have min coin value 1x during bonus.
But this game, you can still find 0.2x coins in 3S and 4S bonus. And there's a good chance the boosted blocks get "wasted" by those 0.2x / 0.4x coins.
Actually, a lot of coin reveal are just disappointing. 15+ blocks, one or two silver, rest being bronze, no clover, no golden pot, maybe a small collector bag that barely helps. Well, 3S bonus is only worth 60x, and on average it contains more than 1 coin reveal, so really can't expect much about the average quality of coin reveals. I have similar feeling on Le Cowboy and Le Fisherman, those cheap (60x-70x) 3S bonus feels more like ELK math, and asking for any 200x wins shall take ages.
