Nolimit City has released Tombstone Begins, a new Wild West slot that takes its Tombstone series back to the start of the story.
Good to Know
Tombstone Begins does not pick up after Tombstone Slaughter or Tombstone RIP. Instead, Nolimit City rewinds the series to the first outlaws and the first gunfire, giving players an origin story built around bullets, respins, and stacked bonus features.
At the center of the game sits the Reel Area system. Winning symbols stay on the board for a respin, while new winning symbols, matching symbols, Wilds, Bonus symbols in the base game, and Revolvers can also lock into place. Every paying hand can therefore keep the round alive.
The Revolver symbol carries 3 to 6 bullets. On each spin, every Revolver fires one bullet at a reel symbol. More than one Revolver can appear, and they shoot in reading order from left to right and top to bottom.
Each bullet can trigger a different feature. A Wild bullet turns the target into a Wild. An xSplit® bullet can split paying symbols or Wilds and double the target multiplier. An Upgrade bullet can turn a regular paying symbol, except the top-paying one, into a random higher-paying symbol and apply that upgrade to all matching symbols on the reels.
Other bullets focus on xNudge®. An xNudge® Wild can land above reels 2 or 4 and nudge fully into view once respins end, adding +1 to the win multiplier with every nudge. An xNudge® Multiplier can land above reels 2 to 4 and add 2x, 3x, 10x, or 100x when an xNudge® Wild activates on that reel. Random bullets can turn into another bullet type, although a shot with no valid target disappears.
Nolimit City also added two key symbols around the Revolver mechanic. The Unleash symbol forces all Revolvers to fire every remaining bullet at once. The Refill symbol reloads every Revolver to a full 6 bullets. Only one Unleash and one Refill can land per spin, but both can appear together.
The bonus structure splits into three Nolimit Bonus levels. Three Bonus symbols trigger 6 Gunslinger Spins, with each extra Bonus symbol adding one more spin. Four Bonus symbols trigger 8 Outlaw Spins, where each Revolver lands fully loaded with 6 bullets. Five Bonus symbols trigger 10 Widowmaker Spins, adding the Outlaw Spins setup and making every Revolver empty its chamber before xNudge® starts or before the final respin ends after a new respin has been awarded.
Players may also receive an Extra Spin offer after a bonus round. The xNudge® multipliers stay in place, and the added spin guarantees a Revolver carrying an xNudge® bullet. The price depends on active Nudge® multipliers, and the offer only appears when the Extra Spin cost is equal to or lower than the total win.
Tombstone Begins also includes four Nolimit Boosters. Bonus Booster costs 2x the base bet and guarantees a Bonus symbol on reel 2. xNudge® Showdown costs 30x and guarantees a Revolver with two xNudge® bullets and two xNudge® multiplier bullets. xNudge® Fully Loaded costs 190x and gives a Revolver with three xNudge® bullets and three xNudge® multiplier bullets. Revolver Mayhem costs 999x and guarantees six Revolvers in top and bottom positions on reels 2, 3, and 4, with three xNudge® multiplier bullets and one xNudge® bullet included among them.
Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said:
“After all the shootouts and blood-soaked mayhem the Tombstone series became known for, we wanted to take players back to the moment the first outlaws rolled into town looking to make a name for themselves. This time, the revolver has been upgraded to make the reels feel like a full-blown Wild West shootout where one bullet can change everything. We’re proud to bring another chapter to the Tombstone saga for the players who’ve been riding with this series since the very beginning.”
