Nitropolis 3 slot by Elk Studios

Nitropolis 3 slot summary

Nitropolis 3 slot by Elk Studios is obviously a sequel to the popular Nitropolis slot which was rapidly followed up with Nitropolis 2 slot. The game uses Nitro Symbols which are essentially the same as NoLimit City's xWays symbols and I'm not sure who copied who here, I'm pretty sure Nitropolis was first? Anyway we have the same post-apocalyptic urban theme here with techno animal characters and objects but this time over a tropical beach so perhaps they've all gone on holiday. The music is a dramatic-funk hybrid interjected with animal sounds and the game does look very good. So can we leave these shores with some of our bankroll or will it be gassed, bitten and chewed again?

On the reels...
You begin here on Nitropolis 3 slot with 6 reels of 4 rows and a minimum of 4096-ways although as we know those Nitro symbols can offer 2-12 multiples of themselves which alone increases the ways. Each winning tumble will expand the reel rows by 1 to a maximum of 8 too, plus we can land super symbols of 2x2 to 4x4 including Wilds. The 6-of-a-kind pays are 5x Dog, 3x Cat, 2.5x Pug, 2x Rat with the medium pays the tags Dirty Dawg, Gritty Kitty, Pug Thugs and Rogue Rats at 1x or 0.8x with four card values all paying 0.3x. You can get a few special symbols here:
Nitro Reels - can land 1x1 single or 2x2 and will offer 4-12 of a random symbol within themselves or in the case of the 2x2 ones 2 to 6 2x2 symbols. They expand rows too.
Toxic Wild - substitues all except special symbols, can appear in the Nitros.
Re-drop - all Nitro postions and special symbols remain, the rest disappear for fresh ones.
both Ways - wins are paid form right-to-left too for that spin.
Nitro Match - all Nitro positions on the reel it lands on plus any adjacent reels will all display the same symbol.
Nitro Upgrade - all Nitro positions on the reel it lands on plus any adjacent reels will increase the number of symbols.
Nitro Wild - all Nitro positions on the reel it lands on plus any adjacent reels will all reveal the Wild.

Free Games Bonus
You need 3 to 6 Zeppelin scatters here for 8 to 20 spins via +4 for each one over the 3 necessary. You can get Super Bonus symbols in the triggering spin which are 1x2 in height and one or more ensures you play the bonus on both-way pays as a 'Super Bonus'! You can retrigger them too and all the special symbols above can appear during them. This time, increases in rows are held over and don't reset to 4 between spins and all Nitro positions are sticky throughout. You can literally end up with millions of ways before the end if you expand to 8 rows and have Nitros in a lot of positions. This results in a 50,000x stake win cap on what is a very colourful, exciting if not a little confusing free games round!

Our View...
Nitropolis 3 slot a 95.00% RTP and in some jurisdictions the bonus can be bought for 100x standard and 500x for both-way pays from the start if you want the Super Bonus. The base game can throw the odd monster win in and is very colourful, almost fascinating to watch and listen to what with all the special symbols which can appear, sometimes in tandem. Free spins can be an ordeal to land but are brilliant to watch and just one incidence of say the Nitro Wild can create some huge wins here, it can and does pay over 1000x with ease but equally you can get some real bad ones. If you have played any NoLimit City slots recently I'm sure you'll see the similarities they have to this game, big potential bonus yields often as a result of just one free game where everything lines up and expands for the player. Who says the sequels get worse as they progress?...
