I have to be honest and say that the overall scenery in the 2022 release looks awful. Even before you start playing, you will encounter blood on the streets, hanged bandits, and an overall sinister feel. Also, the complete background is kind of greyish, and the soundtrack is played on harmonica.
A proper surrounding for a Wild West horror story, eh? I already feel shivers up and down my spine. The reels are set on the streets of Tombstone and there isn’t a living soul anywhere around. Can’t blame people for being scared of 3 notorious bandits looking for their prey.
El Gordo is the leader of this gang and the cruelest warmint among them. That is why his bounty is the highest. Edda Star and Skinny Jo are not the people you would ever want to meet.
Fortunately for the poor citizens of Tombstone, the local sheriff and his deputy are determined to stop the bandits once and forever. At that time, everybody preferred playing cards in saloons, so playing cards fit perfectly for low-paying icons.
Hanged bandits act as xNudge Wilds, hatchets that cut hands are Splitting Wilds, while regular Wilds are represented by a grave. Hang ’em High Scatters trigger free spins, while a combination of Hang ‘em High Scatters and Boothill Scatters trigger the Boothill Free Spins feature.
The 2022 release is played on 5 reels with a 2-3-3-3-2 reel formation with 108 ways to win. You can bet from $0.10 to $50 per spin. The pokie pays left to right, with 3-of-a-kind as a minimum for landing payouts.
El Gordo is the top-paying symbol in the game, offering 4x for 5-of-a-kind. The max payout is set at 300,000x. Tombstone R.I.P. is of ultra-high volatility and has an RTP of 96.08%.
Like every good Spaghetti Western, Tombstone R.I.P. is packed with action. And that is one of the main reasons I love this pokie.
Nolimit City incorporated so many additional features from its creative kitchen and combined them with some popular features to create a game that will keep you busy for hours.
Hanged bandits represent xNudge Wilds and they appear only on the 3 central reels. If not fully visible, they will nudge down until they fill the reel completely. With each nudge, the win multiplier will increase by 1x. If more xNudge Wilds are present on the reels, all multipliers are added together.
I don’t like looking at hanged persons. However, this time I enjoyed it. I got so many xNudge Wilds during the base game. Hanged bandits secured me tasty wins. My biggest win in the base game was around 500x the bet.
Regular Wilds will land on all reels but the 1st. As for the Reel Split Wild, it also appears only on the 3 central reels, just like the xNudge Wild. Once on the reels, the Reel Split Wild splits itself in half, as well as the rest of the symbols on the reel it landed on.
Finally, the xSplit Wild lands only in the 5th reel as a 2-cell-high icon. Once on the reels, it will cut symbols on the left in 1 of 4 available patterns. This is determined randomly. When the xSplit Wild splits an xNudge Wild, it will double the xNudge Wild multiplier.
When you land 3 Hang ‘em High Scatters on the reels, you will trigger the Hang ‘em High Free Spins feature. You get 8 free spins. To get more free spins, you will need split Hang ‘Em High Scatters. If you land only 2 Scatters, they get converted into Reel Split Wilds.
Free spins are played with increasing win multipliers. Every regular Wild that lands increases the win multiplier by 1x, xSplit Wilds increase it by 2x, while the xNudge Wild will deliver an increase between 1x and 3x.
It did not take me long to trigger this feature, with around 50 paid spins. On the other hand, the total win was not that big, 6.73x the bet. I triggered the feature several times while I tested the game and my biggest win was 754x the bet.
If you land 3 Hang ‘Em High Scatters and the Boothill Scatter on reel 5, you will trigger the Boothill Free Spins feature. You get 10 free spins. Just like in the Hang ‘em High feature, Wilds will give you multipliers. The addition is that on every spin a random cowboy symbol is selected to land on reel 5.
Once on reel 5, the selected cowboy turns into a Wild, transforming all other instances to Wilds as well. This can bring you loads of Wilds all over the grid. Furthermore, the transformed Cowboy Wilds get random multipliers between 5x and 999x, which are added to the total multiplier.
It took me 2 hours to trigger the feature. But once I got it, I was rewarded for my trouble. My total win was 7612.3x the bet. So, with a bet of $1, I pocketed $7612.30. After that, I immediately stopped playing.
There is the option to buy both the Hang ‘em High feature (70x) and the Boothill Free Spins feature (3,000x). I tested the first option and won 30x the bet. As for the Boothill Free Spins feature, I did not even dare to test it.
The Enhanced Bet feature will boost your bet by 10%. For that, you get higher chances to trigger free spins. I did not use this option because I did not want to sacrifice my base game wins.
Each time you land a win that is lower than your bet, the xRIP feature is activated. The xRIP feature stops all payouts below the initial bet. This means that you do not get any wins lower than your bet. I hate this, to be honest.
If you manage to reach the max win of 300,000x the bet, the El Gordo’s Revenge feature is activated, ending your round.
Apart from scaredy-cats, another type of players that are not allowed here are beginners. Tombstone R.I.P. is a complicated pokie machine and is only recommended to fearless, seasoned players who enjoy tons of action.
Although it looks horrific, the graphics are amazing, as well as the soundtrack. I really got into the story and had an impression that I was actually there, in the little town of Tombstone. My favourite part of the 2022 release is the Boothill Free Spins feature.
Although difficult to trigger, it is the most rewarding feature that I have ever tested. Please, take into consideration that not everybody will be so lucky. This is only my impression. Also, I love the fact that Tombstone R.I.P. offers so many different types of Wilds, which helped me land loads of wins.
The thing that I do not like about the Nolimit City product is the xRIP feature, which takes away wins lower than the initial bet. I don’t think that is right.
All in all, this action-packed pokie is a worthy sequel to the famous Tombstone original. I rate it 9.6.
