FAQ xNudge Slots
What Are xNudge Slots?
xNudge slots feature stacked wilds that move—or “nudge”—vertically to cover entire reels. Each nudge increases a win multiplier, which applies to all combinations that include that wild, creating powerful payout potential.
Who Created the xNudge Mechanic?
The xNudge mechanic was developed by Nolimit City and first appeared in Tombstone (2019). It quickly became one of the studio’s defining mechanics, later used in Deadwood, Mental, and Tombstone RIP.
How Does the xNudge Mechanic Work?
When a partially visible stacked wild appears, it nudges up or down until fully visible. Every nudge adds +1 to the multiplier value, applied to all wins involving that wild. Multiple xNudge wilds can combine for cumulative multipliers.
How Does xNudge Affect Volatility?
xNudge slots are known for high volatility. Nudging wilds can lead to massive wins, especially when combined with bonus rounds or other Nolimit City mechanics like xWays or xSplit that multiply symbol potential.
