Remember Gulag

Remember Gulag is a 6-reel slot machine with 720 possible ways to win. The reels are arranged in a 3-3-4-4-5-5 formation. As always, the volatility remains as high as possible, and the payout ratio is estimated at 96.08%. It can be extremely rewarding to win up to 30,000X the bet when playing Gulag.

Remember Gulag vs. 3 other Nolimit City slots

Theme & Paytable

The opening screen of Remember Gulag is positively arresting, with a stark, dark-toned image of a Soviet-era gulag prison camp in the background. The Gulag camps were prison camps in the 1930s and 1960s, where unwanted people were transferred to escape the Soviet regime.

The theme is therefore arresting and genuinely historical. Events in Ukraine today put the game in an even more different and topical light.

Gulag Spins are played with symbols with multipliers.

The game’s low-paying symbols are Cyrillic letter-style playing card patterns 10, J, Q, K and A. The larger symbols are various camp characters, with the main winning symbol of course being the scary-looking Stalin figure.

Features & Bonuses

xWays

The xWays symbol appears on reels 1-2, and on reels 5-6 during the Gulag Spins bonus round. The xWays symbol has powers ranging from revealing regular symbols to doubling multipliers.

xNudge Wild

These Wild symbols can only appear on reels 3 and 4. Every time an xNudge Wild is split by xSplit Wild, it will add one more Wild symbol to the reel. Wild symbols will always nudge until fully visible, where each nudge increases the multiplier by 1.

Wilds & xSplit Wilds

During the course of xSplit Wilds splitting xWays symbols, the multiplier for each split will increase, and the multiplier for each split will increase too. Other features include multiplying, transforming, and expanding symbols.

Regular Wild symbols appear on all 6 reels.

Propaganda Bet

The Propaganda Bet will increase your current bet by 20% giving you more chances to trigger the Gulag Spins bonus round. Moreover, if you activate it, the 5th reel will be unlocked.

Free Spins

Like the No Limit City games, Remember Gulag has a number of free spins features. The spins are as follows:

• Gulag Spins: triggered by three scatters.
• All Aboard: triggered by four scatters.
• Double Vodka: Triggers with five scatters.

Free spins start with a setting that determines the number of spins and the payout multiplier for the four main characters in the game. In Gulag Spins, one of the characters is activated and with four scatters, all characters are active. During the free spins, the payout multipliers of the characters increase.

In the best Free Spins mode, Double Vodka spins double all symbol multipliers. During Free Spins, one scatter awards an additional spin and the base Free Spins are upgraded to the next level with three scatters.

All free spins games can also be bought directly by paying between 78 and 486 times the bet, depending on the free spins selected.

Overall

Remember Gulag shows just how open-minded Nolimit City can be in tackling different themes. The Gulag game focuses on a haunting prison camp based on real historical events.
There are three different free spins and the payout potential is huge, with a maximum payout of up to 30,000 times the player’s stake. Remember Gulag is yet another masterpiece from No Limit City, earning a near perfect score of four stars out of five.
