So we have a 576-way 6-reeler here which you should find less complex then Mental was. Not as brutal in volatility as previous NLC's but nevertheless capable of 55,200x if you find the Red Devil's Gold!

Yes, the old British war vet who passed away and the German national anthem Deutschland Uber Alles pipes up at his wake as someone won the jackpot on the machine. Unforgettable, I have the DVD of the whole series. I awlays wanted the car alarm you could record your voice onto: "Get back you bastards, get back you bastards!"

Thanx for the video.
At least this is less bonus buy orientated, more like Punk Rocker.
However, bonuses look a frustrating experience..... a common trend now with no limit.

Love this, think it's a pretty amazing game.
10/10 Extreme volatility again, so like being at sea for months and then a quick burst of action. An amazingly produced slot for me, wish I could bonus buy, at least it's not a 1000x stake this time.

To enjoy 90% of NLC games you have to be able to bonus buy IMO.
If you live in the UK I find it hard to see how anybody could tolerate pretty much having no access to the top end potential.

Thanks for the video but I think this will be another pass for me. As noted above NLC's games seem far too driven by the feature buys these days, which are ridiculously volatile and only for those prepared to lose large amounts of cash for zero entertainment in the hope of hitting 67x stake or suchlike (which is effectively what the top prize is).
I wonder what the chances of getting a natural four scatters trigger are, or one could purchase for 350x and get a return of 27x as dunover did there.
This game isn't as grindingly miserable as Mental, which is a small mercy I suppose.

Remember I am NOT given the links by @NolimitCity - Pelle for their games because I'm not a streamer or one of the 'in crowd' plus I have a reputation for telling the truth about what I think of new slots so I get them a couple of days later than those do. I still think Mental is great graphics-wise but that's clearly a 'Marmite' thing. This one I don't find quite as exciting and I think I realize what the main difference is here. In lieu of the 5-scatter buy and by having the 3/4 scatter triggers only and no upgrades, they've effectively built a torpedo feature into the 4-scatter Wolf Pack spins which to me is some kind of equivalence to a 5-scatter trigger.
You'll not fill the torpedo up in the WPS and activate it very often, but you'll definitely need it in order to hit the maximum prize on this slot, just like you would need the 5-scatter features to get a reasonable chance of games like San Quentin and Mental. So your torpedo fill in the WPS is really in variance or slot maths terms the old 5-scatter trigger. You fill the torpedo with say an average of 6 or more xWays/xNudge Wilds under each of the middle 4 reels, you'll get one fucking titanic winning spin as they are only used once. That is where you'll hit the big prizes - don't fill the bugger up and launch it, then you are merely playing a 4-scatter trigger only with an average pay of 5-10% under the 350x it costs.
So the 5-scatter trigger maths is still present, just can't be bought and is tacked onto the 4-scatter WPS feature. I think it makes the game far better for the casual player like you who doesn't buy features as you have a more equal chance to the rest of getting the big pays: your top prize chance is no longer the exclusive domain of the headcase feature buyers.
So the top prize is now 157.7x for feature buyers and 55200x for the players living in reality.

I like the theme and artwork, didn't catch the rtp but assume it's a 96% er, much prefer that to 94% png and microgaming, so will give it a go. But probably stick to 20p/£20 total loss area, otherwise it could get frustrating chasing the features. What was that battleship megaways SG game, that was chronically bad, it sunk without a trace

Played it on CasinoCasino yesterday at 25p. My second spin dropped in a three scatter bonus.
It paid 25p. Sob.

I've given this three hours in demo play in turbo mode this evening, it's not the worst game I've ever played. It can hit reasonably in the base game (I've had a couple in the 200-250x range), and feature frequency, for the three scatters at least, seems reasonable. (The four scatters seems like a pipe dream if not buying features.)
The feature itself is actually kind of OK, although the mechanic of the wild missing on reel 3 starts to irritate. (Or rather, the wild lands, but then the shot to sink the boat misses.)
At least this one has nice clear symbols with vivid colours for the top pays which makes it nice and easy to read what you're looking for, and the reels don't split into 18351542472710135332 x-Ways that are three pixels high. (I'm looking at you, Mental.)
I haven't seen the X-Bomb do anything of interest, although maybe I've just been unlucky, it does seem to be a lot of light and fury, signifying nothing.
Overall not a bad slot, wouldn't entirely rule out playing it with some real funds but once again the extreme volatility and feeling that you're getting a gimped game because it's weighted towards feature buys constantly nags.
Certainly a lot better than Mental, although admittedly that's a pretty low bar to cross.
(I finished up just over 1000x down in pretend money.)

Chop's idea of what he would've found more fun to use the 20 £5 notes on, and his numerous attempts at cockney lingo 'faacking hell' gave me a chuckle. I think my prob with nlc games is only having two symbols on the first reel, (or 2nd) same reason why I never took to bruce lee, feels harder to get any win.

I don't know who these games are for TBH, they're certainly not for us mere mortals doing normal spins with real money as opposed to streamers with their funded accounts (i.e. pretend money) chucking alleged fortunes at feature buys that cost hundreds of times the stake and mysteriously hitting the top prize on the day of release.
Feature buys are an absolute curse on slot design IMO, one of the worst things to happen to them in a very long time, just plain greed that drives them.

They listed the stats in the NLC thread.
You 'only' need to do 10 000 4-scatter buys on average before you hit the top win.
All in a days work for a streamer.
- Main game: Win cap 1 in 60M, can be hit directly from main game but of course more likely from any free spin.
- Silent Hunter Spins: Direct hit - 1 in 211.
- Wolf Pack Spins: Direct hit - 1 in 14k. Reach max win cap 1 in 10k.
Of course if you plan to hit the top win from landing 4-scatter triggers playing normally, you will have to do on average 140 million spins, so to save time its probably better to invest in the 4-scatter feature buy.

Feature Buys like what NLC have done are designed to grab headlines and focus attention on their slots, and its worked.
I love their design and play pre-deadwood games. I think Das xBoot is a step in the right direction for playability. Gave it a few spins last night and got a bonus for x100, that'll do sometimes. Will play it some more.
San Quentin is a pie in the sky slot designed to put NLC on the tip of players tongues.
Why would you play it when you have a better chance of a big bonus on DOA2.
Know what I would rather chuck my money into personally.

Tried it earlier myself, hit 3 scatters quickly for like a 75x win. Probably will play it again but it is something to not really get excited about IMO in my short time playing.

Seems an ok game and also seems a bit lower volatility than most of their other games. I haven't tried it yet but watched a few lower stakes streamers do ok on it.50x average bonuses like megaways slots all seem to be these days but the biggest deterrent to me is that it gives me vibes of that god awful Beetlejuice slot that I hate.

That is some serious filth, alas it's also within expected parameters as the bonus rounds on this game are extremely volatile, and clearly designed for people who are just relentlessly buying them.
I don't think NLC are making games for normal players any longer TBH.

Agreed.
For a micro roller it's just frustrating doing deposits and deposits, to chase a single bonus which pays 5X when finally lands.
(IF lands).
It's a pity I may add, since I admit I love the themes and the mechanics in their slots.
More in general (and here I am not referring specifically to NLC), I believe that this Bonus Buy thing is a extremely dangerous weapon, if given to the wrong persons, thinking both about problematic players and bad casinos.
IMHO, kudos to UKGC having banned it in a very timley manner.
just my 2 cents of course.

Yep, was disgusted to say the least. So unless you have unlimited funds for bonus buys then nlc slots are not for the average player which is a down right shame as their slots are, in general, really good. I like the x ways/nudge etc...but the bonus buys are ridiculous.
Every new release someone "hits" the maximum payout, that is not your average player. You only need to look at the non bonus buy games to see that the maximums haven't been hit before, hot nudge as an example. I do like nlc games, but the bonus buys are infuriating

Again have to Ask.. why you include basegame with 1% rtp on your featurebuy only slots ?
