Whacked! Slot Review

Whacked! Slot Review

Whacked! from Nolimit City throws me into a grim gangster story set by a lonely gas station and a car graveyard in the desert. The slot runs on a 5x3 layout with 243 ways that can stretch to 7,776 thanks to xWays, paired with an avalanche mechanic that clears wins and drops new symbols. On top of that, Lock N Load and Whacked Spins carry most of the real action.

The whole package feels like a dark TV crime drama, with sharp visuals, profanity-laced sound design and a tense soundtrack that suits the mafia angle. It does not try to be the most complex Nolimit release ever, yet it still feels edgy enough. I found the base game simple to follow, which let me focus on timing the features rather than decoding obscure rule sets.

How to Play Whacked! Slot

Getting started in Whacked! is easy. I pick a stake from about 20p a spin upwards, hit the main spin button, or set up autoplay if I want a longer grind. Wins land when at least three matching symbols connect on adjacent reels from the left, across 243 to 7,776 ways. Every winning combo explodes, the remaining symbols tumble down, and new ones drop in, giving chained hits without extra cost.

Symbols and Payouts in Whacked!

Whacked! runs with 10 regular symbols, all tied neatly to the mob theme. On the low side, I get Rope, Knife, Brass Knuckles, Pistol and Shotgun, paying roughly 0.15x up to 0.9x the bet for five of a kind. The premium set is five gangsters on coloured backdrops, paying around 0.5x to 2x the stake for full lines, so lining up characters is where standard hits start to feel meaningful.

Wilds turn up as overlay symbols, helping to complete winning ways by standing in for any regular icon. Scatters trigger Whacked Spins when three land in view, while the xRevolver symbol comes into play during the bonus. Payout values scale cleanly with stake size, so I always check the paytable first to see how hard each symbol needs to work to keep the balance steady between features.

Whacked! Bonus Features

Lock N Load is the first piece that gives Whacked! its bite. Every win loads a group of bullets into the cylinder. When it reaches six bullets and no more wins appear, the feature fires them at any high-paying characters on the reels. Hit symbols turn into overlay wilds, and if there are five or fewer premiums on show, unused bullets stay in the chamber for later, which keeps the pressure building.

xWays symbols are another key part; they expand to 2 or 4 half symbols, which still pay like normal icons and stay until avalanches finish. Three scatters launch Whacked Spins, starting with three spins and an initial x1 value under each reel. Coins, xWays and xNudge all reset the spin count back to three and feed their values into the counters beneath the reels, so each column builds its own tally.

During Whacked Spins, the xRevolver symbol can land and award Coins, xWays, xNudge or Russian Roulette. xWays always reveals three coins worth 1x to 20x bet each, while xNudge gives three multipliers that grow with every nudge and then multiply that reel’s collected value. Russian Roulette is the wild card: after it triggers, spins reset once and then any reel totals are multiplied together instead of added, which can explode the payout if timing lines up. If I want straight access, I can buy the bonus for 88x stake where allowed, with a slightly higher theoretical RTP.

RTP & Volatility in Whacked!

On the numbers side, Whacked! comes with several RTP settings, topping out at about 96.07% in the standard game and 96.15% on the bonus buy version. Volatility is on the high, almost brutal, side, backed by a hit rate of around 25%. In practice that means patches of dry spins while the bullets load, then sudden spikes, especially in Whacked Spins, where the slot can reach a stated max win of 11,912x bet.

Whacked! Slot – Our Verdict

After plenty of sessions, Whacked! feels like Nolimit City in a leaner mood. There is just one proper bonus, no layered super modes, and the base game sticks to avalanches, xWays and the occasional Lock N Load blast. For me that works well, especially on sites where I cannot buy enhanced bonuses anyway, because I do not feel as though a better version of the slot is hidden behind a paywall.

The Whacked Spins feature holds up on its own, with the cylinder extras and Russian Roulette adding enough spice to keep me hooked when it finally lands. It will not be everyone’s all-time favourite, and the high variance can sting, but if you like gritty themes, simple mechanics and a more inventive take on hold-style respins, Whacked! is worth a solid spin on any serious slot session.
