Blood and Shadow

Blood and Shadow by Nolimit City does indeed have some great visuals and a soundtrack. But it also features some neat slot mechanics and bonus features. We have already mentioned the cascading wins, but there is more. All of them come together to create a smooth and fast-paced slot experience.

• Ritual Bar – There are 5 levels of progression on the ritual bar at the bottom of the screen. Landing scatter symbols and winning combinations with medium and high-paying symbols advance the bar. When you fill the bar for the current level (20 for Level 1), you are awarded Candle spins depending on the level. The scatter fills the bar by 10, medium and high-paying symbols fill it by 1 and 2 respectively.
• Candle Spins – Filling the Ritual bar awards a certain number of Candle Spins. These are special respins where the sticky wilds appear. Sticky wilds usually appear on reels 2 to 5. The ritual bar works the same during candle spins.
• Cursed Spins – Filling the Ritual Bar to the top awards cursed spins. During this feature the ritual bar is removed and the reel area becomes 5×5 with only high paying symbols. Landing a scatter gives +1 free spins.
• xSplit – The xSplit feature is active during cursed spins. When xSplit lands it will either split the row or the reel. xSplit can split any symbol multiplying the symbol’s size by 2.

Next to splitting symbols and sticky wilds, the player can also buy the Baphomet Rite. This is essentially the bonus buy feature where the ritual bar progressed to level 3 and awards +6 candle spins. Three of the low and medium-paying symbols are replaced with 3 high-paying symbols. If the max payout of 6666x the bet is reached at any time, the player is paid out and the round ends.

Nolimit City has certainly raised the bar for the quality of their releases. The Blood and Shadow slot is both visually stunning and has worthwhile and entertaining slot mechanics. The base game can be played in and of itself without needing the free spins mode too much. Players have access to sticky wilds and multipliers in the base game along with cascading wins. That being said, the Cursed Spins are immensely powerful when it comes to payouts due to their high-win symbol focus.

The game has a high wagering ceiling and a decent payout maximum of 6666x the bet. Furthermore, the RTP of 96.13% is nothing to write home about but it is still above the 96% point which is the relative average for modern slots. Just note that the volatility is quite high in this slot so prepare for high variance in your wins.
