Conclusion
Deadwood RIP is a beautiful masterpiece and a merciless monster at the same time. Nolimit City giveth and taketh away with unapologetically brutal gameplay, and Deadwood RIP can feel especially brutal, as its sister slot felt. the xRIP feature isn’t so much a feature as it is a necessity to make the monster wins possible, and you need to be okay with that sort of risk if you’re in favour of such substantial potential,
At 100,000x the bet, Deadwood RIP isn’t quite as capable as Tombstone RIP is, but it’s still significantly more proficient than any game that isn’t a jackpot slot. The smaller potential is in no way disappointing as far as we’re concerned because of how significant it still is and if you’re a true slot connoisseur then the maximum possible win is secondary to the experience of actually enjoying it. Quick Draw, stands out as a new feature to the series, and the Shootout mechanic makes it feel more familiar to some of the other games we love so much. Nolimit City truly has done well to differentiate it enough from Tombstone RIP in a satisfactory way to make it feel very fresh.
Overall, Deadwood RIP was predictably superb, but the game was unpredictable and inventive at every turn to make it another new Nolimit City smash hit.
