Slot Features
Grid will have some rows blocked with barriers at the start, and the mechanics used is the tumble-down one. After a win, xBomb explosion or Wild Mining feature trigger, a blocked row will open. The bottom row contains multipliers that will get awarded every time the barrier is removed and the symbol is destroyed, or if the removed barrier reveals a Scatter.
Wild Mining
Wild Mining is triggered in the main game when 3, 4 or 5 of the same kind of paying symbols align diagonally when there is no win combo. The triggering symbols will be removed and create a Wild symbol in the middle positions of the alignment. With 3 symbols you will get 1 Wild Bomb, with 4 you will get 2 Wild Bombs, and with 5 you will get 3 Wild Bombs whose explosions will increase the win multiplier for the next collapse. All other symbols will explode except the Bombs, and if a Scatter gets blown away, it will reappear at the next collapse and get placed in a random position.
Scatter
Canary is the Scatter that can land anywhere on the reels, but if it lands behind the barrier, it will not be relevant until blocks are cleared. Scatter symbols will stick to their positions and remain there during Canary Free Spins unless any Scatter symbol lands in the vault position which will mean that it will get pushed to an available space towards the centre. There are two types of Scatter symbols and they involve Gold Cage Scatter and Silver Cage Scatter, and three Scatters will trigger the Canary Free Spins.
xBomb Wild Multiplier
The xBomb Wild Multiplier can sub in for any symbol in the game except the Scatter, and when it explodes in a cross pattern, all symbols next to it, except the Scatter and other Bombs will have a multiplier increased by x1 for the next collapse.
Canary Free Spins
Hitting 3 Scatters will trigger the spins where the grid will change and four vaults in the corners will get locked. Four vaults are locked but they can collect coins and multipliers from the neighbour positions while the vaults will get opened only with xBomb explosions. When you unlock the vault, anything that was collected in it will get awarded at the end of the feature. The feature will start with 3 respins, and every xBomb will reset the count back to 3.
Scatter will start with x1 and can also collect coins, multipliers, upgrades, the rat and the dwarf enhancers. Silver Cage will collect in an x-shape 1 position from itself, while the Gold Cage will collect in an x-shape from the entire row. All collected coin values are valued as times the active bet, and Scatter and Vaults will stop collecting when they reach x65000 the bet. The Scatter will start with 3 hit points, and collected wins are awarded only after the birdie dies.
Coin values are randomly assigned and they range from x1 to x100. Bombs explosions affect its neighbouring positions in an x-shape, and they also remove 1 hit point from the Scatter Birds. Multipliers can be x2 or x3 and they will be applied to the values of the Scatter and Vault collections. Gas affects all birds adjacent to it and reduces the hit point count by 1. The Dwarf will become a persistent collector that will collect for each spin from all the other Scatter symbols until the Dwarf dies. The Rat symbol is a persistent payer that will share its collected value to all the other Scatter symbols until the rat dies. When either the Rate or Dwarf dies, the Canary will respawn in its cage. Beer will upgrade Silver Cage to Gold Cage and add 1 hit point to the affected Scatters.
Summary
Dead Canary is just another proof that Nolimit City is able to create superb slot games. They tend to choose quite peculiar slot themes, but this time, they’ve opted for something more common, but they were still able to deliver something uncommon and innovative. Looks like this team does not know how to make a bad slot and this particular one is, not only brimming with innovation, but it can also deliver a staggering max win of x65000 the bet. Regardless of what you are looking for in a slot, excitement, fun, innovation or prizes, or all of the mentioned, you will not go wrong if you choose to take this one for a couple of spins.
A slot from Nolimit City and based around a mining theme. It’s one of No Limit City’s 6 reel slots, and comes with a 3-3-2-2-1-1 configuration but can expand to a maximum of 3-4-3-4-3-4. It is an unusual type of slot and will take some time getting used to and comes comes in at just a 0.20 per spin cost and up to a hefty 100.00 which makes this slot a suitable amount for almost most players. All my play was done on the 0.40 stake during my first session on this slot and stay on the same stake size for entire duration of the session.
There are a few features with this slot and these can be triggered with a bit of luck and they involve Canary free spins as the main feature that is most sought after when you get 3 scatter symbols, the silver or gold cages. This feature I happened to get during my first session early on taking just under 100 spins. Prior to the feature being triggered there were plenty of teases which did keep my stay on it for longer until the free spins feature was finally triggered. The base game kept the balance in the positive prior to the feature.
There is another feature which is the wild mining feature and that happens when a non paying combination occurs and then there is also the wild multiplier feature involving the xbombs with increasing multipliers.
During my session I was able to get some good base wins, including the best one being just under 58x.
The feature that I did get during my first session was on the low side being just under 27x. Some sites will have the slot on a lower RTP setting and I did play it at a site with only 94.12% RTP while the actual standard RTP is 96.02%. The free spins feature bonus can be bought but the best one is 500x the Golden Canary spins and the cheapest bonus is 68x bet. There is also a 284x bonus option but I find these bonuses a bit too much to pay for and prefer chasing the bonus features with base game play and that is how it should be when the base game is playing well stay on it otherwise come back to it at another time.
