Deadwood Review
There are no laws in the Wild West, and it's up to the citizens to take justice into their own hands. After a notorious group of gunslingers come into town, it's up to the bounty hunters of Deadwood to restore order. Developed by Nolimit City, Deadwood is a Wild West slot that plays on 5-reels with 576 ways to win.
Throughout the slot, you'll get the chance to trigger one of the two Gunslinger Spins and one of the two Shoot Out Free Spins for the biggest bonuses. Naturally, this slot contains Nolimit City's xNudge feature which increases multipliers with each nudge. Ultimately, you can win up to 13,950x your stake if you manage to survive the gunslingers.
Design
In terms of design, the backdrop of Deadwood with various old West buildings such as Saloons in the distance. There is a slight animation in the sky to simulate clouds coming and if there is a storm coming, but that's about it. It has a full Wild West feeling and you know instantly what sort of slot you are in for.
Naturally, the symbols contain various items you'd expect to find such as old pocket watches and whisky bottles to give you the full feeling of the West. Amazingly, after spins, you can shoot reels and bullets appear on screen with a cool attention to detail.
As for the music, there is a soft score that you'd expect in a Western film with banjo sounds mixed with a harmonica to create something suspenseful. Thankfully, it's not too much and it's subtle enough that you won't feel the need to mute it.
Gameplay
Deadwood contains gameplay you'd expect with online slots with the addition of the xNudge mechanic from Nolimit City. Of course, this isn't too complicated and easy to pick up. In terms of menus, you can find the spin and autospin buttons to the right of the reels with other menus being selectable to the left side.
Win Potential
Sadly, the RTP is at a mediocre 94.15% which is way below the average standard. Alongside the high volatility level, you can expect less frequent returns but they'll be higher than usual when they do. In terms of maximum payout, you can win up to 13,950x your stake on this slot through the multipliers and features.
Our Verdict
Overall, Deadwood is an engaging slot with loads of features to make the gameplay thoroughly engaging. Of course, the design is clean enough that you know exactly what you are getting in for and the win potential is pretty decent for an online slot (bar the RTP level).
For those of you who love the Wild West genre, then this is one to check out as the features are innovative enough for decent gameplay. However, if you want something with a bigger payout, then definitely check out Dead or Alive II.
