Nolimit City’s New Skate or Die Slot Presents Gnarly xCrash Mechanic

Several thought-provoking new games have been released by Nolimit City since we last reviewed the Apocalypse slot with Super xNudge. But none of them had a new x-mechanic, until now. The studio’s Skate or Die slot comes just in time for the new school year season, introducing the mother of all gamble features, yes, another one, called the Crash Game. It’s coming your way via NLC casinos as soon as Tuesday next week, September 10.

Key Game Features

The grungy-looking Skate or Die slot is packed with features that casual slot-goers may find miserable to comprehend. But don’t worry, we’ll try to compress it for you.

First off, there’s 243 ways to win and at the top of the reels lies the Extra Sauce Row, featuring multipliers of 2x, 3x, 4x, 10x, or none. These multipliers link with xNudge and xZone (first seen in the Gluttony slot) symbols on the reels below. As in a similar feature in Punk Rocker 2, the values get updated with every spin.

The New xCrash Mechanic

The Crasher Game can be triggered in three ways:

1. The Crasher Game Symbol lands fully stacked, covering all reels.
2. Any win over 30x your base bet unlocks the option to play the Crasher Game.
3. Bonus Buy feature: Buy your way into the Crasher Game for 30x your base bet.

Once the Crasher Game begins, Chad—bruised, battered, and just a little bit insane—attempts his most extreme stunt yet. Strapped to a wheelchair, he launches himself off a cliff! As Chad plummets, the multiplier cranks up. It’s up to you to decide when to pull the cord and cash out. But be careful—the longer you wait, the higher the risk of losing it all. The max win is triggered when Chad lands not in a grave (lose) but in dumpster (win).

Other xMechanics

• xZone Wild: Debuted about a year ago, this wild symbol enhances adjacent symbols with multipliers from the Extra Sauce Row, affecting nearby symbols both vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. The xZone Wild also interacts with the xNudge Wild for increased win multipliers.
• xNudge Wild: This symbol nudges until fully visible, adding a multiplier with each nudge. If the xNudge crosses a reel affected by the xZone, the corresponding multiplier will be added to the nudge.
• xNudge Wild Supreme: Unique to the Boneyard Spins, the xNudge Wild Supreme collects multipliers from the Extra Sauce Row, amplifying its potential.
• xBet aka Nolimit Booster: Players can pay extra per spin to increase the chance of triggering the game’s bonus modes, offering more frequent access to free spins and higher win potential.
  • For 10% extra, you’ll get a guaranteed Scatter on reel 2
  • For 10x the bet, you’re guaranteed an xNudge Wild.

Free Spin Bonus Games

The free spin features are triggered by landing Scatter Symbols in the base game, each offering different levels of guaranteed wilds:

• Face Plant Spins: Activated by 3 Scatter symbols, this round gives players 10 free spins with a guaranteed xZone Wild landing on every spin.
• Dead Meat Spins: Triggered by 4 Scatter symbols, players receive 10 free spins, with two xZone Wilds guaranteed on each spin.
• Boneyard Spins: Landing 5 Scatters initiates 10 free spins with two guaranteed xZone Wilds on every spin. In this mode, the powerful xNudge Wild Supreme can also appear, significantly boosting win potential by gathering multipliers from the Extra Sauce Row.

Bonus Buy

To speed up the process of getting to the 30,000x max win, there’s a few bonus buy options to choose from, including 30x for the “base” Crasher Game, and 60x, 200x or 1,000x for one of the free spin bonuses, respectively.

Conclusion

NLC’s Skate or Die slot is less inspired by Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and more so by something like Beavis and Butt-Head. The base game is miserable and painful, like the game’s animations, but Chad has a tendency to reward big time so his tricks might be worth the wait. And the "all-new" Crasher Game, it promises to be a hot feature among streamers and seasoned players who are hooked on this hyped arcade casino game.
