Skate or Die

The provider again provides their trademark features. In this case it’s about xNudge, xBet, xZone plus the new xCrash. The latter is quite unique as it provides a Gamble feature within the game. And not an ordinary Gamble where you pick a card. No, it’s a crash game like Aviator.

The slot has an RTP of 96.03%. And as we are used to from Nolimit games, you play with extremely high volatility. Does the slot live up to the high expectations we have of the studio? You can read how Skate or Die comes out of the test in this slot review.

How to Play Skate or Die

Actually, Skate or Die looks much more normal than many Nolimit City slots. For once, they use a playfield with 5 reels and 3 rows. However, Win All Ways does apply, so you have 243 Win Ways on each spin. However, the game is packed with features, as you can read below.

To win, you try to collect at least three matching symbols on connecting reels. To do this, the first symbol must be on the far left. In total, you will encounter 13 different symbols.

You have card symbols 10, J, Q, K and A that yield 0.60 to 0.90 times the bet for 5 of the same. Next are the body parts: the leg, hand, arm and face. These give you 1.50 to 4 times your bet at 5-of-a-kind.

Break as many bones as possible by skating recklessly in Skate or Die from Nolimit City.

Bonus features of Skate or Die

We talked about 13 different symbols. But as you have read, there are only 9 with a payout per payline. For the other symbols, you need the special features of Skate or Die. Those give you up to 30,000 times the bet.

Wild Symbols

At the top of the playfield, you’ll see an Extra Sauce Row. This gives a Multiplier of x2, x3, x4, x10 or no Multiplier at all with each spin. To cash it in, you can use the Wild symbols. There are two different ones.

There is an xZone Wild, as you could find earlier in Gluttony. The xZone symbol looks like a blackboard. It takes the Multiplier from the Extra Sauce Row and distributes it to all the boxes around it. So that can be up to 8. In that case, the Multiplier gives additional Ways to Win to the symbols.

In addition, you have the xNudge Wild in the form of a skateboard. If this lands partially on the playfield, it nudges to become fully visible. For every square it moves up, the Multiplier goes up by 1, unless it swallows an existing multiplier. After that, you may also add the Extra Sauce.

And then there are the xNudge Wild Supreme. You’ll only encounter these in the Boneyard Free Spins. Instead of just getting its own Extra Sauce Row Multiplier, this one collects them all.

Free Spins Bonus

There are three different bonus iterations that give you 10 Free Spins each time. You have the Face Plant, Dead Meat and Boneyard Spins. For these you need 3, 4 or 5 Smiley Scatters. However, the difference is not that big:

• Face Plant Spins: 1 guaranteed xZone Wild.
• Dead Meat Spins: 2 guaranteed xZone Wilds.
• Boneyard Spins: 2 guaranteed xZone Wilds and chance for xNudge Wild Supreme.

Crasher Game

The last symbol is one that covers your entire playing area. This has the word Crasher Game printed on it in graffiti. You are given the choice to play the built-in crash game. This involves main character Chad, also known as Plantface, falling down in a wheelchair. Continue for as long as you dare or until he falls into a dumpster and you make it to the maxwin. But be careful, because at any moment he can fall into his grave and you’ve lost everything.
