Warrior Graveyard Slot – Free Demo

Six reels of fighters and a golden-helmet skull

The fighter theme is a well-liked option in the entertainment business. It is often adapted into films and computer games. So I'm not surprised to find Nolimit City crank out a fighter slot of its own. I played it for 440 spins at 10.00 credits a spin, starting from a balance of 10,000.00.

The layout is nothing out of the usual. It is pretty much what I've come to expect from Nolimit City by now, and it arrives with 6-reels, 3-rows and 25 pay lines. Deadwood and Harlequin Carnival are two other Nolimit City games with xNudge wilds. The RTP is 96.16% and Warrior Graveyard takes stakes between 0.25 and 100 credits per spin. Wins pay left to right for 3 or more matching symbols on a payline, starting from the leftmost reel.

Warhammers, caskets and Warrior Attack

Arms are employed as low-value symbols. They are the warhammer, battleaxe, helmet, shield and sword, and the best of them pays 3 times the stake for six of a kind. The top-tier ones are depicted by the fighters, and the most rewarding out of the fighters hands you 6 times the stake across a complete payline. Three or more matching warriors landing on different reels trigger Warrior Attack, in which they nudge into view for +1 multiplier per step and move to the leftmost reels before all lines pay.

The Scatter Wild stands in for all pay symbols. It is also the symbol that triggers both free spins bonuses. The xNudge Tombstone Wild only shows up on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. It substitutes for every symbol except the Scatter Wild.

How a tombstone climbs to x3

Contained in Warrior Graveyard is the xNudge Tombstone Wild, a 3-high wild, and when it drops, it nudges to fill its reel. A +1 multiplier is attached to it for every nudge step. A Tombstone Wild that lands with a single row in view nudges two steps and so reaches its x3 maximum, and when several Tombstone Wilds share a line win their multipliers add up to as much as x12 across the four centre reels.

Graveyard Spins, Death Spins and a multiplier with no ceiling

3, 4 or 5 Scatter Wilds grant 8, 10 or 12 Graveyard Spins, and throughout the bonus, each Scatter Wild grants 1 additional spin. There is no retrigger. On average the free spins land once in 205 spins. The free spins round differs from the base game in two notable ways. A global multiplier rises by 1 for every Tombstone Wild nudge step and never resets. It starts at x1 and has no upper limit. More crucially, 6 Scatter Wilds grant 14 Death Spins, in which the Tombstone Wilds turn sticky. Death Spins never triggered in my 440 spins, and all three bonuses I got were Graveyard Spins.

Our Minty Verdict: 71% of what I won came from three Graveyard Spins rounds, and only 89 spins out of 440 paid anything.

Spins 42, 145 and 207 carried the session

Warrior Graveyard is an average slot at best, being a high volatility game. Over the session my balance peaked at 12,480.40 on spin 145 and never fell below 9,800.00. The free spins round was triggered 3 times in my 440 spins. They came on spins 42, 145 and 207, with 8, 10 and 10 Graveyard Spins and no extra spins in any of them. Two of them paid 122 and 215 times the stake. The third paid 22 times the stake, and the three bonuses together made up 71% of everything I won.

The max win is capped at 9,797 times the stake. Over the 440 spins I wagered 4,400.00 and won 5,032.40, a session return of 114.4%. That means it's all about the Graveyard Spins, and moreover, as the game paid on just 89 of my 440 spins, it can scarcely be a solid wagering slot. Of those 89 paying spins, 41 returned less than the stake, and the longest run without a win lasted 19 spins.
