Loner Slot Review

Loner Slot Game

Nolimit City welcomes you to the game by affirming that no rubber ducks, pizza slices, or British young men were harmed when making the game. Instead, it’s just the dreams of a Bahamas getaway…presented by C.O.C.K TV.

The Loner allows you to live in the main character’s solitude, watching different shows and playing video games while devouring pizza.

Its design looks dated, considering the analogue television housing the reels and video cassette player resting on it. What could our guy be going through, making him a sad slouch who can’t complete the slice of pizza set on the TV?

With everything looking greasy, you can only imagine how messy the crib could be. The Loner’s only conversationalist is the 8-bit-sounding presenter and a slightly laid-back soundtrack. The gameplay might be immersive, but it paints a grim picture that I wouldn’t wish on an enemy.

Symbols and Payouts

We’re now starting the more technical game sections, which you should read alongside the slot’s demo. First is the paytable, which you can access from the interface’s Menu button.

Unlocking the paytable reveals 10 standard symbols that typically form winning combinations. But there are other special symbols, which I’ll unveil in the features section below.

For your information, all the paytable payouts in Loner dynamically change to reflect the current stake!

The premiums include the Reel Duck Tape, Order 1 for 2 (Remote Control), It’s Cardiolicious! (Pizza Slice), Banging Deal!! (Telephone), and Protagonist. They pay prizes up to 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x, and 5x for three to five OAK, respectively!

Then, the low wins worth 0.2x to 1x the bet originate from the 10, J, Q, and K digits and 0.25x to 1.25x from the Ace, each jotted on paper cut-outs. 

Also, keep your eyes peeled for the Wild symbols, which, as is their traditional nature, substitute for all standard symbols during win evaluations.

Loner Slot Bonus Features

Despite being inspired by a life of solitude, Loner packs plenty of features. Since they are lengthy, let’s not waste time. Instead, let’s get into them ASAP!

Big Wild

A 3x3 or 2x2 Big Wild may appear partially or fully stacked on any spin's 2nd to 4th columns. The xSplit splits the Big Wild in every affected position.

Monitors

The Monitor symbols appear on the odd-numbered reels, and if 1 or 2 appear, they’ll unveil one of these symbols:

• xSplit - splits all other symbols to the right and left except for the Monitors, doubling their values. It becomes wild during a split.
• A regular 1x1 wild symbol.

• Infectious xWays - becomes a regular paying symbol of size 2-4 and converts all occurrences of that symbol into 2-4 sizes as well. The xSplit can also split infected symbols.

• The Max Win symbol that triggers the top prize!

However, if 3 Monitors appear, they’ll reveal the Shoot Shoot Duck, Pin the Win, Tick Tick Boom, or Max Win bonuses.

Pin the Win

The “Pin the Win” logo goes berzerk around this bonus game’s area. Meanwhile, a random 1-500x multiplier displays above the reels, randomly changing whenever it misses a corner position.

On the other hand, the Corner values (1-1000x and Max Win) may update when the corner position isn’t hit. However, if it’s hit, the multiplier value and the one above the grid are multiplied by the base game and the round ends.

Tick Tick Boom

This bonus allows you to choose a target to blow up. An automobile travels across the screen until it reaches the selected target and explodes to reward between 5-1000x the base bet or the Max Win!  

Shoot Shoot Duck

This bonus starts with 5 automatic shots, each firing to hit or miss. Shooting the Ducks awards:

• Symbols with 1-1000x the base bet awards.
• A Bomb that collects all visible multipliers when shot.
• An Ammo Clip, which resets the shots to 5.
• A Van which increases its value per step by accumulating all visible multipliers.
• The Max Win that awards the top prize.

The feature ends when the shots are over, or you’ve triggered the Max Win.

xGod & God Mode

The xGod means triggering the top prize whenever you collect the Max Win, as mentioned in the features above. Meanwhile, the God Mode means Monitor symbols may (or may not) reveal the MAX symbol, awarding the maximum 14,999x bet reward!

Nolimit Booster (xBet) & Nolimit Bonus

Loner allows you to pay an extra +50% for a guaranteed Monitor in the 1st column. However, for 35x the stake, you’re guaranteed the double feature with 2 Monitor symbols in the 1st and 3rd columns. However, each symbol’s payouts remain unaffected.

Depending on the bonus, you can buy a specific feature from the base game for varying prices between 75x and 2,604x your stake. Also, their RTPs vary, as displayed in the rules window!

How to Win at Loner Slot

Nothing makes me feel better than knowing I’ve left no stone unturned for this game’s features. Admittedly, the features may make the game feel very technical, which isn’t the case.

Loner adopts a conventional playing process, taking into account its 5 reels, 3 rows, and 243 ways. So, you win whenever 3-plus symbols match in adjacent reels from the grid’s furthest left to the right.

The reels are playable after wagering between €0.20 and €100 bets.

You play with the Spin button (clockwise-pointing arrow) or the Autoplay feature, which triggers several auto-spins based on preselected optional limits.

Activate Quickspin for faster spins, and use the Menu button to access the paytable and game rules.

Loner Slot RTP & Volatility

This slot’s extreme volatility is accompanied by a 28.04% hit frequency and 96.06% theoretical RTP. However, your chances of hitting the 14,999x top reward are 1 in 3 million spins.

The Final Thoughts

I stand by my sentiments that Nolimit City has some of the industry’s big bangers. It’s almost impossible to think of a developer who can create matching competitors. Well, Loner's originality and well-thought-out features reaffirm my initial thoughts, and you’ll agree after reading this review.

Like in Brick Snake 2000, you have many chances at winning the max win. However, as the stats show, the chances of managing the 14,999x bet max win aren’t lenient. 

Notwithstanding, the gameplay offers numerous other significant winning possibilities, thanks to its unending features list. Since there are too many, I urge you to revisit this review’s bonus segment for in-depth explanations.

At the end of describing what felt like countless features and other game components, I hope that this game brings to light the grim life that most of us exhibit in varying proportions. And, instead of judging the slot’s main character, play to enjoy what the gameplay offers!
