Milky Ways (Nolimit City) slot review

Milky Ways is a futuristic-looking, stunning Nolimit City slot

Since 2020, Nolimit City is knocking on our doors with some straight-out fantastic releases.

How about slots like Punk Rocker, Harlequin Carnival, Barbarian Fury or Deadwood? The animations, bonus features and overall engagement are all top-notch.

I always get excited whenever Nolimit City comes up with a new slot.

With the arrival of Milky Ways, I was, again, not let down.

OK, it may not be the best or most original Nolimit City slot release. You’ll see that this slot has a bit of a Starburst vibe going on, with a dash of Netent’s Jack Hammer to boot.

But graphically, it is more sophisticated. If only you look at the meteorites: amazing! Besides, it’s more brutal when it comes to winning potential!

Milky Way’s max win is almost 6,000x the bet

5,664x, to be exact. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that. Did you know that it’s only 500x at Starburst?

Milky Ways slot – Gameplay and Features

The main game has 5 reels and 3 rows of symbols, and you have 243 ways to win. You get a win with combos of 3, 4 or 5 or a kind.

The premium symbols are four impressive gems (red, yellow, green and blue). The A, K, Q and J are the low-paying symbols, even though they look fantastic.

The Solar Wilds symbols (black hole symbols) are the most important. They appear on reels 2, 3 and 4.

If you are lucky, you get them with a x2 or x3 multiplier. And better, they multiply with each other. If you have an x3 multiplier on all three reels, you get a total multiplier of a great 27 (3x3x3).

The Milky Ways symbols act as scatter symbols.

How do you activate the free spins (Milky Ways Spins)?

You get access to 3 free spins if you spin three Milky Ways symbols on the three middle reels. If you spin two instead of three, you get a consolation prize.

It’s also possible to use the Buy a Bonus Feature and buy the free spins for 38x the original bet. Since 2020, Nolimit City loves to offer this feature.

Free Spins – 3,125 ways to win, guaranteed wilds and the Fusion Spins

There are three main advantages with the free spins over the main game.

• The first improvement is that all five reels expand from 3 symbols to 5 symbols. It gets you guaranteed 3,125 ways to win (5x5x5x5x5).
• The second improvement is that you get guaranteed wilds. How nice is that!
• Thirdly, you get the Fusion Spins. The symbols that are part of a winning combo are “locked,” and you get free re-spins until no new winning combination appears.
• Yes, it reminds us of Netent’s Jack Hammer.

Payout percentage (RTP)

The RTP is 96.14% in the main game. However, some online casinos offer the game at a lower RTP of 94.24%. Unnecessary.

If you use the Buy a Bonus feature, the RTP is slightly higher: 96.38%.

Milky Ways slot – the variance (volatility) is medium

Nolimit City indicates that the variance is medium to high (score of 8 out of 10).

I expect that most top wins will be around 500x to 1000x the bet. The win of 5,664x is the highest observed win, of 10 billion simulations. In short, forget it.

Pros and cons

Advantages:

• Graphically perfect.
• The free spins (Milky Ways spins) and the Fusion Spins are great features.
• Always handy to have the Buy a Bonus Feature!
• Good odds for some lovely wins

Disadvantages:

• Wins exceeding 1.000x are miraculous.
• Not the most innovative slot.

So, who’ll like the slot? And who won’t?

The slot looks great and offers some fun bonus features, although we have seen most of them before. The “Starburst” theme is universally loved, so will likely please most slots lovers.

Players seeking for the life-changing wins of say 2.000x or more, won’t find these here.
