Mr. Tesla was peculiar on different levels. Apart from his obsession with the number 3, he also had a strange fondness for pigeons. He spent hours just feeding them in the park and nursed the injured ones in his laboratory.
Once you enter his lab in the Nolimit City release, you will not find any pigeons. Instead, you will be a bit frightened by the overall visual appearance. The action takes place in the middle of the night. The moment you start spinning the reels, the electricity collector starts sparkling.
Do not worry, all inventions in this room are completely harmless. The reels are made of wood and copper wires.
On the reels, you will find Tesla’s Turbine, a switch, an electrical lamp, and a plug. Playing cards made of wooden tiles and copper wires act as low-paying icons. Two types of Wilds appear on the reels, one in the base game, and the other during free spins.
Both types of Wilds substitute for all regular symbols. Tesla acts as Scatter that triggers the Tesla Spins feature. Finally, the Tesla Jolt symbol appears on reel 5 and turns symbols into Wilds.
Tesla Jolt is a simple pokie played on a 5×3 grid with 20 fixed paylines. The game pays left to right and at least 3 matching icons are required for a payout. The minimum bet is $0.20, and you can bet up to $100 per single spin.
Tesla’s Turbine and Wild are the top-paying symbols, both offering 37.5x bet for 5 of a kind. The max payout is 582x the bet per spin. Tesla Jolt is a low-variance slot that comes with an RTP of 96.61%.
Nikola Tesla had so many inventions and so many plans. However, the good people of Nolimit City decided to focus on only a few extras in this game. The Tesla Jolt feature turns random symbols into Wilds. The Tesla Spins feature comes with Charged Wilds and Time-Lapse Trigger.
Tesla Jolt appears only on the 5th reel. Each time it lands, it turns a randomly selected set of symbols into Wilds and also becomes Wild itself. This resulted in several rewarding payouts while I tested the game.
Tesla Jolt did not land often, but each time it did, I was generously rewarded. The best I got was 75x the bet in a single spin.
Land 3, 4, or 5 Tesla Scatters on the reels to trigger 10, 15, or 20 Tesla Spins, respectively. During these free spins, a different sort of Wilds appears on the reels. All Wilds that land on reels 2, 3, and 4 are collected.
When any of the reels is fully charged with collected Wilds, it will trigger the Charged Wild feature and release the collected Wilds on corresponding reels. Another way to release Wilds on the reels is to land the Time-Lapse Trigger on reel 5.
The Time-Lapse Trigger also rewards between 1 and 3 additional Tesla Spins when it appears on the board. If you land the Time-Lapse Trigger on the final Tesla Spin, you are guaranteed 3 additional Tesla Spins.
If there are any collected Wilds on the last Tesla Spin, they will be released on their corresponding reels. I had a tough time triggering the Tesla Spins feature. It took me over 100 spins and I only got 10 free spins.
I failed to trigger Charged Wilds. The one Time-Lapse Trigger I got released 2 stored Wilds and 1 additional free spin, where I won 45x the bet. Sadly, it did not cover my expenses at all.
Being an action junkie myself, I prefer when a pokie offers a tasty number of extras. I expected more additional features in Tesla Jolt, to be honest. The theme of the game gave so many opportunities for a huge package of rewarding features.
Nolimit City however opted to incorporate just a few. The Tesla Jolt feature occurs regularly and can surprise you with decent wins. However, the Tesla Spins feature does not trigger that often and is far from generous when delivering payouts. At least, that was the case with me.
If you are looking for a Tesla-themed pokie that involves more science and more features, you should try Nikola Tesla’s Incredible Machine, developed by Rabcat and Yggdrasil. This medium-volatility game with an RTP of 96.22% offers different extras.
You will enjoy Wild Substitution, Reel Clone, Exploding Wild, and Energy Burst. Also, there is a Free Spins feature with Fixed Wilds and 5 levels. The top payout is set at 4,100x the bet.
