True Kult

Theme and Design

Once again Nolimit City have done a cracking job of evoking an unsettling atmosphere and narrative which cleverly builds as the game progresses through slow-paced base game through to crazed bonus round. The action starts in a grassy space where the wooden-framed reels sit, with a stone circle surrounding them. We assume cult members are standing around the circle as we can see their bare feet as part of some kind of weird ceremony no doubt. By the time you hit the Séance and Sacrifice Spins rounds blood and fire have replaced pastoral peace and all hell breaks loose, reflecting the features and win potential too.

I should just mention the characters too who are a very memorable aspect of the slot. They range from naive devotees with blindfolds or clasped in prayer, through to the David Koresh style leader with glasses and creepy smile and his ageing, bearded, monkish sidekick who wields a book of truths.

Truly weird from NLC once again, but like the best horrors, its unsettling nature is what makes it so compelling!

RTP and Variance

True Kult has four available RTP settings – 96.09%, 94.09%, 92.10% or 87.09%. This is standard for Nolimit City games, and whilst the 96.09% optimum level is decent enough, which you play at will be at the discretion of your casino.  We verified the RTP of True Kult at five popular UK slot sites. This is what we found:

• Casumo (independent) – 94.09% RTP
• BacanaPlay (Skill on Net) – 92.1% RTP
• Barz Casino (White Hat Gaming) – 94.09% RTP
• Duelz Casino (SuprPlay) – 92.1% RTP
• All British Casino (L and L Europe) – 94.33% RTP

Not untypically, True Kult is not running at the optimum RTP at any of the casino we looked at. Currently the game is not live at MrQ, who normally put Nolimit City slots up at their highest RTP settings. I will update this page when the game is live there. In the meantime we recommend that you check the RTP setting wherever you play to be sure that you are getting value for money.

In terms of volatility, once again Nolimit City have kicked out a game that by their own standards, is ‘Extreme’! That means you can get roasted badly here. So, beware. Of course, the upside is the potential for some riotous win sequences.

But the message is – set your stake to a manageable level to avoid fast burn out!

Maximum Win

The maximum win on True Kult is 23,237x. That isn’t huge by Nolimit City’s standards. You can find much higher win potential in other games by this studio, including the blockbuster 300,000x found in Tombstone RIP.

But still, £23k from a £1 bet wouldn’t be a bad haul! For the record, on the game profile page on their website Nolimit City put the odds of hitting this number at 1 in 8 million at the 96.09% RTP setting.

Symbols and Paytable

True Kult is a win ways slot. That means you need to land 3 or more identical symbols on adjacent reels from left to right, starting at the far left, in order to trigger a win. With 5 reels and just 3 rows, that gives you a base line of 243 win ways.

However, this being a Nolimit City game, there are ways to increase that number by splitting symbols in the bonus rounds OR opening up the sixth reel, which immediately increases the win ways to 729.

The pay symbols don’t have huge value on their own. But remember, there are multipliers and upgrades that can boost their value.

Low payers are the card-like tarot symbols – an A, K, V, L, T (or cross). These are valued at from 0.1x for 3 crosses right up to 2.5x for 6 As. The premiums are the very creepy looking characters from devotees to cult leaders. None of whom you want to be spending time alone with! They are valued at from 0.4x for 3 devotees right up to 5x for 6 cult leaders.

There are also True Believer Wilds which help complete winlines by substituting for other symbols. So watch out for those too. And Scatters look like Tarot Card with blue symbols. These open up reel six AND the bonus rounds, and they appear on reels 2 to 5 only.

Features and Gameplay

As we expect in a Nolimit City games, there is no shortage of features. That is what makes this game developer so popular. It’s important to understand how they work to get the most out of the game.

So here is a run down of how it all works.

Baptism of Fire Brings Symbol Stacks

The Baptism of Fire is one to look out for in the base game and bonus rounds because when this event triggers, a stack of premiums, scatters, or Skull Wilds (bonus round only) will drop onto one reel.

Unlock the SIXTH Reel For More Win Ways, Multipliers and Wilds

You will notice when you play True Kult that there is a SIXTH reel in the game. When you start, it is locked, so none of the symbols that land there can help you. But … if you land 2 or more scatters, the sixth reel becomes unlocked.

That immediately expands the grid so that there are 729 win ways in play. Also, Tarot Multipliers and True Believers that land on that reel become active.

But what are they?

Tarot Multipliers display one of the premium devotees AND a multiplier value or 5x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x or 99x. These will be applied to any win way that intersects the symbol.

Meanwhile, the True Believer looks terrifying but is in fact your friend! Oh yes, because he can turn low payers on reels 2 to 5 into Wilds to help complete wins. And when complete, the True Believer then transforms himself into one of the Devotees, a high paying symbol. To help you win more.

Enter The Séance For 7 Free Spins With All Seeing Eye Frames

By landing 3 of the Tarot Card scatters The Séance bonus round is activated – this is where the pace picks up because there are multiple ways to expand the win ways, add multipliers and Wilds.

Let’s start with the All Seeing Eye Frames. The round starts with 3 of these. They appear on reels 2 to 5 and move between reels after each spin. They are important because any symbols to land within the frames will be split into two to open-up more win ways.

The Sixth Reel is also open with Tarot Multipliers and True Believers activated. But this time if a Tarot Multiplier is NOT used on the triggering spin it is not lost but instead saved until the right Devotee lands on reels 2 to 5 at which point the multiplier is applied and the removed from reel 6.

You can also collect Tarot Multipliers for each Devotee. So, if a Tarot Multiplier lands on reel 6 and it reveals the same Devotee as a previous Tarot Multiplier then the highest value multiplier is used, and now the same multiplier can be applied to TWO Devotees on one spin.

And to add further thrills, NLC have also dropped Skull Wilds into the Séance. Each one that lands gets you an extra spin and one more All Seeing Eye Frame on the reels. Remember, that means more win ways opening up as all symbols landing in the frames will split.

If a Skull Wild lands in the frames then it does split but in that instance it won’t add any more frames to the reels.

Enter Sacrifice Spins For 10 Free Spins With Sticky Tarot Multipliers

The apex of this True Kult is the Sacrifice Spins round. The configuration is the same as The Séance but with two critical additions.

Firstly, you start with FOUR All Seeing Eye Frames rather than three. And secondly, Tarot Multipliers are STICKY for the round – that means even if they are used, they don’t disappear from reels 6 but stay to be applied throughout the spins.

xBet Feature

If you want to break into the bonus rounds more quickly then you could switch on xBet.

You will be increasing your bet by THREE times but your odds of hitting the Séance are FOUR times more. And your odds of hitting Sacrifice are SIX times more.
