Beheaded (Nolimit City) – Slot Review
A lone survivor washes up on a tropical island after a violent shipwreck. Unbeknownst to him, a soul-devouring Tzantza collector lurks in the shadows, his trophy case demanding a new addition. By nightfall, the hunt begins. This is one island getaway the survivor won’t forget—unless, of course, he loses his head!
The game features a tropical landscape shrouded in darkness, with vegetation framing the eerie setting. Skulls and heads on spikes serve as grim decorations, while a cauldron sits beneath the reel set, and more heads populate the symbol lineup. Higher-paying symbols emit a blue glow. Bold animations, including brief cut scenes featuring the Tzantza collector, enhance the gameplay. The vibrant colours contrast sharply with the dark backdrop. As always, Nolimit City delivers incredible visual aspects, with the unique theme brought to life through impressive artwork.
Beheaded features a 5-reel by 4-row setup with 178 fixed pay lines. This high variance slot offers an RTP of 96.03% and a maximum win capped at 15,950x your bet. Players can wager between £0.20 and £100.
Beheaded Symbols & Pay Table
The game includes 16 symbols in total: 5 low-paying symbols represented by 10, J, Q, K, and A, 5 mid-tier symbols depicted as different beheaded heads, and 5 premium symbols, which are the mid-tier symbols but glowing blue. Additionally, there is a Soul Wild symbol. The highest paying symbol is the glowing skull premium, paying 9x for 5 across a pay line.
Beheaded Features & Mechanics
Soul Wilds
There are three Soul Wilds, each with individual Soul Collectors that gather souls from high-paying symbols after a win. The Soul Wild feature is activated in the following order:
- Level 1: Happy Soul Wild, requiring 4 souls.
- Level 3: Sad Soul Wild, requiring 10 souls.
- Level 5: Angry Soul Wild, requiring 18 souls.
Soul Wilds activate when no more souls can be collected and their collector is filled. The number of activated Soul Wilds determines the size of the Wild zone (1×1, 2×2, or 3×3) and multiplies the general multiplier by 1, 2, or 3 respectively. The general multiplier resets after this event. All Scatters within the Wild Zone award +1 Free Spin each. The Soul Wilds Collector resets if it fails to collect enough souls or is activated.
Cut Reel Feature
The reel setup is 4-4-4-4-4 across 5 reels with a Progression Bar beneath the bottom row. Winning combinations cause symbols to fall, allowing new symbols to drop in and fill the empty spaces.
Progression Bar
The Progression Bar has 5 levels, resetting after each level-up with excess points carried over:
- Level 1: 15 points
- Level 2: 25 points
- Level 3: 50 points
- Level 4: 80 points
- Level 5: 110 points
Fallen Wild, high, or medium-paying symbols advance the Progression Bar:
- Wild symbols: +3 points per winning symbol
- High-paying symbols: +2 points per winning symbol
- Medium-paying symbols: +1 point per winning symbol
Each level converts medium-paying symbols to high-paying symbols. Three dropped Scatters progress the player to Tzantza Spins, rewarding +6 spins, with each skipped level awarding +2 Free Spins. The Progression Bar resets every new game round.
Ayahuasca Spins
Reaching a new level of the Progression Bar awards +2 Free Spins until level 4, and +6 Free Spins when advancing to Tzantza Spins. Purchasing Ayahuasca Spins instantly progresses the Progression Bar to level 3 and awards +6 Ayahuasca Spins, replacing three medium-paying symbols with three high-paying symbols. This feature can be purchased for 100x your chosen stake size.
Tzantza Spins
Purchasing Tzantza Spins instantly progresses the Progression Bar to level 5 and awards +10 Tzantza Spins. All medium-paying symbols are replaced with high-paying symbols. This feature can be purchased for 500x your chosen stake size.
Pick A Potion
When Tzantza Spins end without hitting the Max Win, the player can choose between:
- Butterfly Bottle: Guarantees a win ranging from 5x to 8,000x the base bet.
- Skull Bottle: Gambles the accumulated win for a chance to win the Max Win or lose it all. The chance is determined by the accumulated win amount; the higher the win, the better the chances.
