D-Day Demo
D-Day Slot Review
Nolimit City’s latest invention, D-Day, takes us back to 1944, in what may be their most historical slot release to date.
D-Day was the beginning of the end of Nazi dominance in Europe. Allied forces launched a daring assault, and this day is now widely recognised as the turning point in the war.
The bravery and tremendous sacrifice are taught and remembered around the world, and it stands out as perhaps the most infamous military mobilisation to date. The events of D-Day have appeared in numerous movies, books, and video games, but it’s a first for the iGaming industry.
Nolimit City is known for its innovation and attention to detail, while building quite a reputation for daring to be different. Nolimit City are brazen enough to explore certain themes that most software developers wouldn’t dare to touch.
In D-Day, we will explore multiple Features and Free Spins modes across 5 reels and 720 ways to win. With a fixed RTP of 96.12% and an extreme (10/10) volatility score, the best outcome we can hope for is 55,555x your bet.
The historical theme is not one we often come across, but we’re interested to see how well Nolimit City pull off one of the most memorable moments in history. Although a rarity, Nolimit City have embraced another event in history through another of their releases, Pearl Harbor.
Join us as we witness a moment in history on the reels of Nolimit City’s latest instalment to their growing catalogue.
Base Game & Features
D-Day is the latest highly volatile release from Nolimit City, revealing 5 reels and a reel configuration of 3-4-5-4-3, similar to that found in Das xBoot. Wins occur when 3-5 identical symbols land on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel.
The 8 paytable symbols (howitzer, stuka, bomber, panzer, fighter pilot, anti-air, foot soldier, and commando) award fixed payouts between 0.1x and 2x your bet across 720 ways to win per spin.
In addition, the reels may reveal Wild symbols, which substitute for all symbols except Scatter symbols. Wild symbols are responsible for replacing the highest-paying outcome according to the paytable.
Lastly, Scatter symbols are consistent on the reels and are responsible for triggering up to 3 Free Spins modes, depending on the number of triggering Scatters. Landing 2 Scatters can also trigger 1 of 4 base game features. Alternatively, if one of the Scatters appears on reel 5, the Atomic Wild feature is enabled.
In-Game Features
As mentioned previously, whenever 2 Scatters are revealed in a single base game spin, 1 of 4 In-Game Features triggers. The base game determines which In-Game Feature triggers at random.
- Bomber: Drops 2-5 Bombers on different reels (one per reel). Each symbol on those reels will transform into Wild symbols, from top to bottom. If the Anti-Air symbol hits, the Wild transformation stops directly above it. If a Wild already exists on the selected reel, the Multiplier increases by +x1 for that reel.
- Stuka: Appears diagonally from left to right or right to left, splitting all paytable symbols and doubling their size. Up to 7 Sukas may appear in a single spin (one per diagonal).
- Panza: Reveals 2-5 Panzas along different rows in a single spin. Each low-paying symbol on these rows will transform into Wild symbols, excluding the Foot Soldier symbol. If a Wild symbol already exists on a selected row, the Multiplier increases by +x1 for that Wild symbol.
- Howitzer: Randomly selects 1-7 paytable symbols and transforms them into Wild symbols, excluding the Commando symbol or other Wilds.
Atomic Wild
Another in-game feature to look out for is the Atomic Wild, which triggers when 1 of 2 Scatters land on reel 5 in the base game.
Once active, a random position is transformed into a Wild Multiplier between x10 and x100. If the selected position is already in possession of a Wild symbol, a +x1 Multiplier is applied to a random Multiplier.
If multiple in-game features are triggered in the same spin, the Atomic Wild feature will activate first.
Nolimit Booster & Bonus Buy
Players within permissible regions can access a variety of Bonus Buy functions and a single Nolimit Booster feature.
- Nolimit Booster: Each spin is 2 times more likely to trigger a Free Spins mode for an additional 30% of your current bet (RTP 96.08%)
- 8 Neptune Spins: Awards 8 Free Spins and 2 In-Game Features for 70x your bet (RTP 96.13%)
- 8 Invasion Spins: Awards 8 Free Spins and 3 In-Game Features for 250x your bet (RTP 96.23%)
- 8 Overload Spins: Awards 8 Free Spins and 4 In-Game Features for 1,000x your bet (RTP 96.30%)
- Mystery Spins: 50% Neptune, 40% Invasion, 10% Overload for 235x your bet (RTP 96.20%)
The maximum win potential of D-Day is 55,555x your bet. If a single game round exceeds this, the current mode ends, and the player returns to the base game with the qualifying amount.
D-Day Free Spins
Triggering the Neptune Spins mode requires 3 Scatters to land within the base game, awarding 8 Free Spins. Once active, a special Pick and Reveal feature is granted, allowing players to choose 2 of 5 Features.
If a triggering Scatter symbol falls on reel 5, then the Atomic Wild feature activates and players are awarded 1 Pick and Reveal option from the remaining 4 In-Game Features.
During Free Spins, each revealed Pick and Reveal Feature will activate at least once throughout the entire session.
Invasion Spins
Triggering Invasion Spins requires 4 Scatter symbols to appear in the base game, awarding 8 Free Spins. In this mode, you will receive 3 of 5 Pick and Reveal Features.
However, if a triggering Scatter symbol drops onto reel 5, the Atomic Wild feature will count as one of your Pick and Reveal Features, leaving only 2 remaining. During Free Spins, each revealed Pick and Reveal feature will activate at least once throughout the mode.
Overload Spins
Revealing 5 Scatters in a single base game spin triggers the Overload Spins mode, awarding 8 Free Spins. In this round, the Atomic Wild feature is guaranteed, leaving 3 remaining Pick and Reveal features.
As with the previous two Free Spins modes, the awarded Pick and Reveal features will trigger at least once throughout the entire session.
Our Honest Verdict
D-Day is a wonderful representation of Nolimit City’s innovative mindset and a genuine masterpiece. If you’re looking for a diverse game with bouts of longevity, indulgent features, and a sizable max win potential, D-Day is a prime choice.
Like many Nolimit City titles, figuring out the game’s mechanics and many functions can be difficult at first. It’s clear from the get-go that Nolimit City don’t do things by half measures, so working out the intricacies of gameplay can be both time-consuming and hard work, but definitely worth it, in our opinion.
Through its complexities, each In-Game feature proves to be exceptionally effective, while the general aura of the game feels dramatic and explosive. The volatility of D-Day is pretty extreme, so it’s an unfortunate reality that it can rip your entire balance, should you let it.
In true Nolimit fashion, this game has multiple Free Spins modes to experience, with each one more volatile than the last. Admittedly, some of Nolimit City’s lower-tiered Free Spins modes from other games can feel rather brutal, but have the potential to award substantial payouts.
Naturally, the Overload Spins mode is the one you want to aim for, and achieving it will have you biting your nails from start to finish. It’s during this mode that the 55,555x your bet max win potential seems all the more possible to achieve.
All in all, we believe D-Day to be one of Nolimit City’s best offerings in a while. D-Day has explosive moments, a historical theme, and exhilirating features that amp up the game’s overall appeal.
