Nolimit City Talks Tombstone and How They Hesitated to Create Something So Volatile

Tombstone

On April 16, Nolimit City will release Tombstone: No Mercy, an addition to the popular Tombstone series. Tombstone, which was released in 2019, was the first game that earned the studio worldwide recognition, and its success probably shaped Nolimit City into a company we all know. To honor the importance of the original, the developer revealed some interesting facts about its creation.  

Turns out, they came up with the extremely volatile math even before they released Tombstone but didn’t dare to use it because it was so volatile. Remember, the slot world was different back then, and extreme volatility wasn’t common. That’s why Hot Nudge, which is the first xNudge slot, received an adjusted version of the now popular engine. To decrease volatility in Hot Nudge, they removed the sticky multiplier from free spins and made it a lines game.  

But as soon as they finished Hot Nudge, the team was determined to use the feature in its original form. That’s how they came up with the idea of Tombstone, the slot that had xNudge as volatile as it was supposed to be. As they were creating the slot, they had to answer some important questions. They themselves thought it was a fun game, but the team wasn’t sure players would understand the potential.   

Thankfully, the studio decided to put doubts aside and let Tombstone be wild. The slot became a massive hit. And so many fans today can’t wait to try Tombstone: No Mercy, which is very similar to the original, but allows players to buy their favorite features and bonus games.
