The Crypt

As you are probably used to from Nolimit City, you play The Crypt with the Win All Ways principle. You start with 4,096 Ways to Win and can build this up to an immense 46,656 ways to win. Add to this a maximum win of 27,000 times your bet and they’ve got your attention for a while.

Then again, it is a slot machine that is extremely volatile. The RTP is at a normal 96.05%. Wondering for a moment what Nolimit has to offer with this game? You can read how The Crypt came out of the test.

How to Play The Crypt?

Each spin of The Crypt you start on a 6 on 4 playing field and with 4,096 Ways to Win thanks to the Win All Ways mechanism. Here you can bet between $0.20 and $100.

Winning combinations are formed by having identical symbols on adjacent reels, starting on the far left reel. After this, the used symbols disappear and you get a Cascade of new symbols to fill up the playing area again. This can cause fun chain reactions resulting in high wins.

And you need chain reactions if you want to win. In general, The Crypt’s 12 symbols don’t pay out very much. The card symbols from 9 to Ace give you 0.10 or 0.15 times your bet for 3 of them and 0.5 to 0.75 times your bet for 6 symbols on connecting reels.

The symbols with medium payouts are all legends from music. In ascending value, these are Jimi Hendrix, Amy Winehouse, John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Lemmy Kilmister and Elvis Presley. Again, you don’t have to expect a high payout for a single combination. With 3 symbols, you have 0.20 to 0.35 times your bet and with 6 of them, it is 0.9 to 2.5 times your bet.

Bonus features of The Crypt

So to reach Dead Rising status of 27,000 times your stake, you need an incredible chain reaction. Or you need to trigger the various bonus features. Which ones these are in The Crypt, what they do and how to activate them, you can read below.

xNudge Wild

Of course, a slot machine about death is not complete without The Grim Reaper/Magere Hein. He has traded in his scythe for a fat guitar in the shape of a double axe.

Within the game, he is the Wild symbol that you occasionally encounter. Nolimit City uses him as their patented xNudge feature. That is, he removes all the symbols below him and gets an even Multiplier. After this, he expands to cover the entire reel.

xWays

Another special symbol you may encounter is the xWays symbol. This expands to 2 or 3 times the same symbol with payout. They also fall during the Cascades and can expand any reel up to 6 spaces high.

How the deceased music legends are put into shape is really perfect.

Resurrection Spins

As the last special symbol, there is the Full Moon Scatter. From the moment you see three of them in your play area, the dead are revived with Resurrection Spins. For the first three Scatters you will receive 10 Free Spins and after that an additional 3 for each additional Scatter.

During Resurrection Spins, you will receive at least 1 xWays per initial spin. Additionally, you can turn all Legend symbols into Wilds. For every 4 Cascades, the top Legend is turned into a Wild and you will receive 2 additional spins. Winning combinations with Elvis do not count for this, but these give the symbol a +1 Multiplier.

Bonus Buy and xBet

In addition to xNudge and xWays, xBet is also available as a special feature of Nolimit City in The Crypt. When you activate this, you increase your bet up to 3 times the original amount. This gives you as much as 5 times more chances to win Resurrections Spins.

Or you can simply buy the bonus round in the Bonus Buy menu, the yellow asterisk. For 100, 200 or 500 times your bet, you buy 10, 13 or 16 Resurrection Spins. In addition, you can gamble by paying 225 times your bet. Then you have a 35%, 45%, 15% and 5% chance of winning 10, 13, 16 or 19 Free Spins.
