A blood-curdling online slot titled Serial was launched in November 2022 by NoLimit City game developer. The style here is quite characteristic of the provider, so once again we’re looking at high-quality visuals with slashing animations and an adrenaline-pumping audio. The unusual topic of the game might be off-putting but a host of features and the potential of 74,800x the stake will certainly draw players. Expect Substituting Wilds, Enhancer Cells with xWays, xNudge Wilds and Infectious xWays. Also look out for Respins, xBets, xSplit Wilds, Search Round, Kill Bonus and xBizzare Feature.
The 5-reel grid has 3 rows that can expand to be up to 7 spaces high, but don’t affect the number of winlines. Ways to win stay fixed at 243, so 3 or more matching symbols are to hit consecutive positions from left to right and you’ll receive payouts. Enter Bet Settings to choose one of the values spanning from $0.20 and up to $100.00. Activating xBet, which costs 20% extra, grants a Scatter on the 2nd reel. The game starts with a tap on the Spin button and it continues automatically if you enable Autoplay.
The game is heavily inspired with “Silence of the Lams” movie, so it’s no wonder imaging resembles that from the film. A Helmet, Shovel, bloody Gloves, Chain and Clams deliver lower sums starting from 0.50x and up to 0.90x the bet for 5 of a kind. The reels are home to five high-paying symbols gruesomely represented with a Skeleton, kidnaped Girl, a Killer, a Special Agent and a masked Murderer. These award between 1x and 5x the stake when 5 form a win. Wild contributes to wins by replacing all other symbols except Scatter. xSplit Wild has a 2x Multiplier and appears on the final reel only, causing all icons in its row to become divided in two.
Once you start playing, the grid will have a 3x3 layout, with Enhancer Cells situated at the top and bottom. Triggering a Respin causes these spaces to unlock and yield Wilds, xNudge, xWays, high-value icons and Infectious xWays. Each of these brings their own benefit, increasing chances for heftier wins. As for the Respin, winning symbols stay on the reels and if a win is improved, another Respin is awarded. When 3 Scatters hit three central reels, Search Free Spins commence. Land an xSpilt Wild to activate The Kill spins and receive 2 more freebies. The Kill Bonus is a Free Spins Round during which Jumping Wild is active. If you are fortunate enough to obtain the game’s highest award, you can choose to play the xBizzare Feature in which you can get hold of the 74,800x the bet.
The RTP during main game is 96.07% while it can grow up to 96.38% in features. If you are a fan of NoLimit City’s peculiar slots, find this game and play it whenever you like, as it is available both on desktop and portable devices.
