The action is placed in a not-so-distant future. There, a group of animal generals is trying to take over what remained after the nuclear catastrophe. As you can see, humankind is destroyed. Animal mutants are now in charge.
They are using human war technologies in their battles. All 4 animal generals are driving tanks and are very handy with all sorts of weapons. The reels are set on a battlefield that is destroyed by bombs and missiles. Therefore, I suggest you put on your army helmets when spinning the reels.
Apart from commanding their troops, the 4 animal generals are fighting with each other. On the reels, you will find a dog, a rabbit, a toad, and a pig. Of course, all of them are mutants now so they will not appear as common animals. What I can say with certainty is that they are as vicious as they appear, so take care when facing them.
These animals like to drink beer. Beer triggers bonuses, so it is good for you if the generals get drunk. They will be chasing ammunition, which is also good for you because the ammunition turns into win multipliers.
Tanked pokie is played on a 6×6 grid. Thanks to the xLoot feature, you get paid when the generals collect symbols of the same colour. Basically, one of the animals in a tank needs to be next to a symbol of the corresponding colour to collect it. Also, animals collect Wilds and tank boosters.
Each spin may cost you between $0.20 and $100. When you land a win, collected symbols are replaced with new icons. You can set up to 1,000 auto spins in Autoplay. Tanked pokie is of high variance and offers 25,000x as a maximum payout. Tanked RTP is 96.04%.
Nolimit City is well-known for pokies that offer tons of features. Animals will collect win multipliers when they roam the battlefield. Also, tanks will come across Tank Boosters that will help you collect even more wins.
The xBomb and the xBarrel Bomb will destroy symbols, increase win multipliers, and expand the grid. Kill Count is important, as are Small Booms and Big Booms, which explode characters. Collect beer Scatters to trigger Carnage Spins and the Carnage Royale feature. The top mode is within the Mayhem Spins feature.
Thanks to the xLoot feature, animals move in their tanks and collect matching icons provided their tanks are next to the symbol of the corresponding colour. Once the animals finish their movements, vacant cells are filled with new symbols because of cascading reels.
Apart from regular symbols and Wilds, animals will collect win multipliers that get in their path. Multipliers go from 2x to 1,000x. If you collect more of them, multipliers are added together. My biggest base game win was 23x.
Animals will also collect 4 different types of Tank Boosters, which are activated only when there are no available wins on the grid. The Rocket destroys a randomly chosen enemy and all symbols in the explosion pattern. It also increases the size of the grid by 1 step.
The Grenade will destroy a randomly chosen enemy and all symbols within the explosion pattern. The Power Drill allows a character to drive to the largest cluster of matching symbols on the grid. On its way, it will destroy all enemies and collect all the boosters. If there is no way for the character to move, it will explode. Airstrike helps the character destroy up to 3 enemies.
Both xBomb and Barrel Bomb explode only when there is no character movement or Tank Boosters available. xBomb will destroy symbols within the selected explosion pattern and increase the overall win multiplier by 1x. Barrel Bomb also destroys symbols within a pattern and increases the size of the grid.
When 3 characters are next to each other, they will explode and remove every symbol within the explosion pattern. This is the Small Boom. The Big Boom includes all 4 animals in the explosion. It also comes with destroying symbols in the explosion pattern and the increase of the reel grid.
Every time it explodes, an animal loses 1 life. When a character loses 3 lives, it will be considered killed and all corresponding symbols will be removed from the grid. The animal comes back after a non-winning cascade.
When you land the xNudge Wild, it will go either to the bottom of the grid or to the non-paying symbol. Also, it will add a 2x multiplier if there are no active win multipliers on that spin. With each nudge, the Wild increases the win multiplier by 1x.
The xSplit symbol splits all icons horizontally or vertically. Also, it turns into a Wild. xNudge Wilds and xSplits helped me land some decent wins.
When animals collect 3 beer Scatters in 1 spin, you trigger the Carnage Spins feature. This will get you 5 free spins. You carry all multiplier kill counts and grid size from the base game into the Carnage Spins feature.
If you trigger the feature with 4 Scatters, you get the Carnage Royale option, which comes with 7 free spins, a 9×9 grid, and a 5x multiplier added to the starting win multiplier. Like in the Carnage Spins feature, all accomplishments from the triggering spin are carried to the Carnage Royale feature.
If all animals die on the same spin during free spins, you trigger the Mayhem Spins feature. This will get you a 9×9 grid, and a 10x multiplier boost on the current active multiplier. In Mayhem Spins, all characters have only 1 life. If they die again, you get another Mayhem Spin and another 10x multiplier boost.
I triggered Carnage Spins a couple of times. My best round saw me land a total of 8 free spins, a 7x win multiplier, and a total win of 48.85x. I triggered the Carnage Royale only once. I won 47.35x, 7 spins, and a 12x win multiplier. Out of that, I got the Mayhem Spins feature, where I won an additional 84.05x.
If you buy the God Mode for 5,000x, you will have a chance to land the MAXWIN symbol and pocket 25,000x. When you land 25,000x in a single spin, it is called BYOB!.
You can buy Carnage Spins for 100x, Carnage Royale for 300x, and Mayhem Spins for 500x. I will tell you that it’s not worth the money in most cases. Of course, it is up to you whether you will buy it or not. The Lucky Draw costs 260x and can get you either of the 3 features.
Within the Nolimit Booster, you may get additional Scatters and Tank Boosters. Also, it will cost you more than the regular bet. Again, I recommend you save your money.
I consider myself an action junkie that enjoys tons of extras in his pokie machines. Well, this time I am going to admit that sometimes slots come with too many additional features.
Tanked pokie is fun and entertaining but also packed with features and quite complicated even for seasoned players.
It took me a while before I realized how everything functions in the Nolimit City title. It was not an easy task, believe me!
As for the visuals and the soundtrack, I can only say – well done. In some situations, Tanked slot reminded me of the famous Worms games. I enjoyed them a lot when I was a wee nipper.
If complicated pokie machines with loads of extras are your cup of tea, I suggest you try the 2024 release.
I rate Tanked 7.6.
