Game Overview
Slots created by provider Nolimit City can often be a mixture of the weird and the wonderful, and sometimes you’re left scratching your head, wondering how they came about. It’s almost as if their development team comprises a maths nerd, a certified lunatic, and a creative genius. That aside, once you get past their initial complexity, they tend to produce some of the best games on the market. Hopefully, their latest release will follow this trend, it’s based around a wacky, patriotic USA theme, but will it deliver us a taste of the American dream or a trip to hillbilly hell? Let’s dig a bit deeper and find out. It’s titled Land of the Free Home of the Wild, and it’s an extreme volatility, 5-reel 4-row slot with an RTP of 96.08% and a potential maximum win of 57,000x.
Once you’ve got the game loaded up, you’ll be introduced to the Langford family, who are your stereotypical Southern American rednecks. This gun-toting, god-fearing bunch live in a river side wooden lodge surrounded by mountainous terrain and star-spangled banners. Sitting amongst this scene is the game’s 5×4 grid, which in normal play is reduced to a 4×4 set-up courtesy of the draping USA flag that obscures the fifth reel. This blocker can be removed by landing a scatter symbol on the grid or flicking on the x-Bet button, both of which will uncover the final reel and lift the number of active payways from the standard 256 up to 1,024. There is one initial bonus game that can be triggered during standard play, titled Tsunami Spins, and this can be upgraded in-bonus to become Submerged Spins, which sees special symbols play an increasingly powerful role. The showstopper in this game, though, is the Titan Spin, where a submarine can randomly appear on the reels, and one of three presidents can appear in its window, instantly awarding a prize of either 15,000x, 25,000x or 57,000x.
Providers will often look to trump each other with increasingly jaw-dropping, extreme volatility bonus buy features, but I think the one featured in today’s review tops the lot. You’ll want to get a good feel for it on demo play before even considering risking your hard-earned cash. Fortunately, we have the Land of the Free Home of the Wild demo slot available below for you to do just that, and it’s entirely free to play!
Land Of The Free Home Of The Wild Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
The one-spin, huge hit, or painful loss bonus buy is something that Nolimit City first pioneered in their recent release Nine to Five, a high volatility slot with a maximum win of 9,217x that can be achieved through its God Mode feature, which is one spin to win that jackpot or lose your 1,370x bonus buy stake if you have been crazy enough to purchase it directly. Another game from this provider with a bonkers bonus buy option is Tombstone R.I.P. Its top bonus variant will cost you a whopping 3,000x to buy, but that may prove to be a bargain if you can manage to claim the game’s unbelievable 300,000x maximum win as a result. Can Land of the Free Home of the Wild match these mind blowing stats from previous Nolimit releases? I think we best find out, so let’s get things moving and head next to the pays section.
To achieve the maximum payout value for each symbol, you’ll need to match five of them across a payway. The top symbol on Land of the Free Home of the Wild is Mama, who will return 4x your stake for each way of five. Next, it’s Eski Moe at 2.5x, Cletus at 2x, Trailer Swift at 1.25x, and Assman at 1x. The lower value symbols are the Condom, Drug Bag, Bible, gas Can, and Beverage, which will pay 1x, 0.9x, 0.75x, 0.7x, and 0.5x, respectively, for a winning combination of five.
The stake sizes on Land of the Free Home of the Wild range from a minimum of €0.20 to a maximum of €100.00, with multiple options between these values. As with all slots from this developer, the selection of bets available ensures that low, mid, and high rollers are all catered to in real money play.
Land Of The Free Home Of The Wild Slot Base Game
Rolling into the game mechanics, we can see that Land of the Free Home of the Wild uses a payways system across its 4×4 or 5×4 grid, depending on its current setting, which offers between 256 to 1,024 possible ways. Under this system, all that’s required to achieve a win is to match a minimum of three symbols from left to right, commencing on the leftmost reel, regardless of row position.
Xbet
Flicking on the xBet button will add 25% to the selected stake value and, in return, will guarantee a scatter symbol on reel one during every spin. The presence of this scatter symbol not only increases the possibility of triggering the bonus but also ensures that the fifth reel is permanently unlocked.
Wild & Stacked Symbols
In the main game, wild symbols can land on any grid position. Partial and fully stacked character symbols may also land, and if a character is fully stacked on a reel, that reel will become a stacked wild.
Conveyor Belt
Below the main game grid is the Conveyer Belt, onto which special symbols can slide. These symbols perform the following functions:
- Protein Power Keg: This is activated if a partially stacked character lands on the reel above it. Will then convert that partially stacked symbol into a fully stacked symbol.
- Bottles: A crate containing either 1 or 2 bottles. 1 bottle will convert any random paying symbol on the same reel into a wild. 2 bottles will split that converted wild into 2 wilds.
- Benzo Bear: Only a half-stacked Benzo Bear exists within the base game, and it will convert 3-8 random symbols into either a wild or a scatter. A fully stacked Benzo Bear can appear in the Submerged Spins bonus, where it will convert all symbols below the water line into wilds.
- Mr Split and Chainsaw: Mr Split will only appear on reel five if it is unlocked and can appear fully or partially stacked. It will split all symbols along its corresponding row position/s into two. If the chainsaw activates, it will add 1 more split to the already split positions on the reel/s it lands.
- Rubber Duck: Can appear during Tsunami and Submerged Spins, awarding +2 spins and increasing the water level by one row.
Titan Spin
At random, during any spin, a submarine may enter the screen. One of the windows will then spin and stop on either a blank window or an image of one of three different president symbols. A blank window represents no win, whilst landing presidents 1, 2, or 3 will return 15,000x, 25,000x, or 50,000x, respectively. This feature can also be purchased from the bonus buy menu, where it is named the Idiot Spin.
Land Of The Free Home Of The Wild Slot Bonus Features
While the base game is out of the ordinary, you couldn’t say the same about the bonus game. It still has a lot to offer, but essentially, it is a Hold & Win bonus with a bunch of modifiers. This bonus triggers when four or more scatter symbols land in any position on the grid.
Free Spins
Landing 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols during any spin will award 12, 15, or 20 Tsunami Spins, respectively. During this feature, all five reels are active, and the bottom two rows will be covered by water. This water can have an enhancing effect on some of the game’s special symbols. Landing rubber ducks will increase the water level, and once all four-row positions are covered, the feature will be upgraded to Submerged Spins, where the water level will remain at this top level throughout.
Bonus Buy
Players located in the relevant jurisdictions will have the opportunity to purchase several bonus features directly if they choose to do so. These options are as follows:
- Tsunami Spins: Triggers this bonus variant, Cost 68x, RTP 96.18%
- Submerged Spins: Triggers this bonus variant, Cost 258x, RTP 96.21%
- Lucky Draw: 75% chance of Tsunami Spins, 25% chance of Submerged Spins, Cost 115.5x, RTP 96.17%
- Idiot Spin: One spin to win one of the three president jackpots or nothing. Cost 2310x, RTP 96.10%
Pros
- Entertaining theme, which is very well delivered.
- Idiot Spin is the single most daring bonus buy feature to date.
- Conveyor belt special symbols add potential to the base and bonus games.
Cons
- Without having the x-Bet turned on, the fifth reel is usually locked, which can be annoying.
- The two main bonuses are very similar.
Land Of The Free Home Of The Wild Slot Review Final Thoughts
After spinning away on this for a while, I realised that it wasn’t actually as complicated as most Nolimit games, so that was a relief. I loved the theme; it's something a bit different, and you can see that a lot of effort has been put into the comedic value of it, from the names of the characters to the graphics and pay symbol selections.Of course, the standout aspect of the game and no doubt the biggest talking point is the Titan/Idiot spin. As far as I’ve seen, at a cost of 2,310x for a win or lose scenario, it’s the most extreme feature out there. It’s clearly going to be a dangerous beast, and I’m not sure I’ll be rushing to spend my real cash risking it, but it's very exciting to see. The saver is that it can also drop in randomly in the base game. Imagine that submarine popping out and giving you 57,000x! Even the bottom prize of 15,000x would be glorious.
