Can you imagine surviving a sinking ship and the ocean, only to wash up on the shore of an island and find that you’re now the prey of a Tzantza Collector who wants to add your head to his already vast collection? That’s not a good day by any standards! This is the backstory of Nolimit City’s latest slot release, which, by all accounts, has been as hugely anticipated as most of their other games. This slot comes packed with countless mechanics, features, and modifiers, and, of course, extremely high volatility. “Beheaded” is a 5-reel, 4-row slot with 178 connected paylines, a 96.03% RTP, and a relatively conservative (for Nolimit) max win of 15,590x the stake.
It’s always difficult to know where to start when summarising a Nolimit City slot, but fans of this developer probably know by now that each new release comes with a catalogue of features. This time, a Cut Reel mechanic removes symbols, replaces them with new ones, and increases a progression meter simultaneously. Progressing that meter transforms medium-valued symbols into high-paying variants, rewards free spins, and potentially triggers one of two free spins bonus games. Along the way, a Soul Collector feature upgrades the size of wild symbols and the multiplier value they can multiply a global win multiplier by. By the way, if you trigger the better of the two free spins bonuses, you’ll get the chance to win a multiplier value of up to 8,000x the stake or gamble what you’ve won for a chance at scooping the slot’s 15,590x max win.
Don’t lose your head worrying about the features mentioned above; I’ll describe them in more detail in the full review below. If you’re still unable to get your head around them, the best thing to do is to play the Beheaded slot demo below so that you can learn them as you go along.

Beheaded Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
It feels strange, but a theme centred around a Tzantza head collector is pretty tame by Nolimit City’s standards, but it’s still a theme most other software providers wouldn’t likely go near. However, compared to Mental, Serial, Disturbed, and many others, this is nothing but the Castaway movie with a different, more sinister ending. No matter the theme, Nolimit City often knocks it out of the park when it comes to gameplay, so I recommend you check out the many other controversial titles in their portfolio if you enjoy beheaded.
One of the spookiest aspects of this release is all the severed heads used as the medium and high-paying symbols. The high-pays all have blue lights coming out of their eyes and mouths, and these have top payouts ranging from 9x and 3x the stake. The mediums all pay a maximum of between 1.5x and 0.9x for 5-symbol combos. As for the low-paying symbols, these are the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten. They come with max returns of 0.75x, 0.6x, 0.45x, 0.3x, and 0.15x, respectively.
The stake sizes on the Beheaded slot range from a minimum of €0.20 to a maximum of €100.00, and with multiple options between these values, you’re covered here whether you’re a low, mid, or high-stakes player.
Beheaded Slot Base Game & Modifiers
The action on the Beheaded slot takes place on a 5×4 grid matrix, with payouts rewarded whenever three or more matching symbols are connected across one of the 178 paylines starting from the leftmost reel.
Cut Reels & The Progression Bar
After winning combinations are created, the symbols involved, and any directly below them, will fall off the reels. New symbols then drop in from above to give the potential of further winning combos.
As those symbols fall off the reels, a progression meter below the reels fills up. There are five levels on this meter, and you’ll need 15, 25, 50, 80, and 110 points to complete levels 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Each new level unlocked will convert the lowest-valued medium-paying symbol into the lowest-valued high-paying symbol.
The meter will fill by 3 points for each wild that drops off the reels, while the medium and high-valued symbols fill it by 1 and 2 points, respectively.
Soul Wild Symbols
Another collection feature, Soul Wilds, has five levels with a new wild symbol unlocked on levels one, three, and five. Unlocking those three levels determines the size of the wild symbol when it lands from 1×1, 2×2, and 3×3. It also determines a multiplier value of 1x, 2x, or 3x that multiplies the current global multiplier value.
To unlock each of the three wild symbols, you’ll need to collect a certain number of the souls that appear from any high-value symbols that drop off the reels:
- Happy Soul Wild: Needs 4 souls to unlock.
- Sad Soul Wild: Needs 10 souls to unlock.
- Angry Soul Wild: needs 18 souls to unlock.
Xbet
If you activate the xBet feature for 2x your current stake, you always spin starting from level 1. This means that for twice your regular stake, you are three times more likely to trigger Tzantza free spins.
Beheaded Slot Bonus Features
The main bonus games on the Beheaded slot play a part of the progression meter, but you can also trigger them through the buy bonus feature. Furthermore, it’s possible to trigger Tzantza free spins via three or more scatter symbols landing in view.
Ayahuasca Free Spins
You can receive Ayahuasca free spins as part of the progression bar, and you’ll receive 2 for each level unlocked up to level 4. These play out at the end of the base game spin. During this free spins bonus, three of the medium symbols are converted into high-paying symbols.
Tzantza Free Spins
You can unlock (without using the buy bonus) Tzantza free spins one of two ways. The first is through the progression meter. You’ll receive 6 Tzantza spins by reaching level 5. However, you’ll also receive 6 spins when three or more scatter symbols fall off the reels on the same spin. You’re also given an additional 2 spins for each level you skip on the progression meter. During this feature, all medium-value symbols are replaced by high-value symbols.
Pick A Potion
Unless you land the slot’s max win by the end of the Tzantza free spins bonus, you’re given two options when the feature finishes. You can choose a Butterly Bottle, which gives you a random prize of between 5x and 8,000x your stake, or gamble your total win from the bonus for a chance of winning that max win.
Bonus Buy
There are just three buy bonus options, which is low for a NoLimit City slot:
- 6 Ayahuasca Free Spins: 100x your current stake.
- 10 Tzantza Free Spins: 500x your current stake.
- Lucky Draw: 225x your current stake.
Pros
- Another theme that not many others would venture near.
- Interesting combination of features and mechanics.
Cons
- A lower max win than usual from Nolimit City.
Beheaded Slot Review Final Thoughts
Beheaded may not push the boundaries with an overly controversial theme or God Mode bonus buy options, but the unique theme and captivating in-game mechanics make this another Nolimit City release that will have players falling over themselves to hit the start button.
