If you are a fan of dark-themed online slots, then be prepared to enjoy the subtle undertones in the True Grit Redemption slot, released on the 21st of December. If Christmas cheer and Santa themed slots aren't your thing, then this is the perfect distraction.

The backstory sets a scene of being on a  mission for vengeance that develops into a harrowing journey. If you need further details, think of "Grit Girl" being tortured, and you get the overall dark vibe of this machine!

Things don't get any happier in this slot, even the win animations are particularly grim, with tortures scenes, death, and the max win animation "No More Grit to be Found" being celebrated by what looks like Grit Girl finally being eaten by wolves.

The horror isn't as in your face as slots such as Mental. Still, the overall graphical theme, background music, win animations, and central characters all do a fantastic job of setting a scene that perfectly fits the slot's title.

The gameplay and features are fantastic on every level. Even if the theme doesn't instantly appeal, put that aside. Read on as we break down all of the features this stunning slot has to offer!

The base game in True Grit uses an unusual six reel layout and a popular ways mechanic. By default, this offers 240 ways to win, but this can be increased vastly thanks to combinations of an almost endless list of unique features such as Wild Transformx, Nudge Wild, xWays & Infectious xWays, Reel Split, Transform ‘em and several more!

At the top and bottom of the reels are some unique reel sets which spin horizontally, similar to those found in Megaways slots. Still, on this machine, they provide completely different functionality.

Wild Transform

Wild Transform is active on the top horizontal reel and is triggered when symbols in the top reel match any of the symbols underneath on
the same reel, this feature transforms both symbols into Wild symbols and helps create winning combinations.

At the bottom of the reels is another sideways scrolling mini reel set that house a sticky wild symbol. When wins are created, the multiplier value increases one time and is applied to any future wins it helps to form.

The remaining creates covering this area can consist of many special symbols that include xNudge Wild, xWays & Infectious xWays, Reel Split, Transform ‘em.

Players familiar with NoLimit slots will have a good idea of just what these features are capable of producing, with a whole host of extra wilds, multiplier, and increased ways possible, the standout feature on this machine, however that is capable of instantly producing massive win is the Transform ‘em feature.

Transform ‘em Feature

When this symbol lands in view, it will transform all of the same symbol types except symbols on the top reel into the same symbol. As an example, this could turn all high paying Character symbols into the same Character symbol or even all low paying symbols (A, K, Q, J, 10) into the same low paying symbol, both of which are likely to produce some huge wins, especially when combined with any additional features such as xWays and xNudges!

Whilst there is some fantastic base game hit potential thanks to the vast array of special features, things, of course, get ramped up significantly during the bonus round. There are two unique free spins rounds on offer in this machine, the Torture Spins and Dead Spins.

The added ability to upgrade the bonus round to the most volatile version is also present on this machine. Still, game replays have already shown with the Transform ‘em feature. Both bonus rounds can produce stunning wins from this feature.

Threes Scatter symbols are required for the regular Tortures Spins, with four scatters needed for the super volatile Dead Spins.

There are a whole host of special symbols and features present on True Grit that can all interact with each other. We have broken down the key unique features below, which should help you understand how the gameplay on this machine works.

The Grit Girl acts as the tragic central character to this slot, present on reels 1-4  only and highlighted with a gold outline to signify that is is the highest paying symbol on this machine. Pays for this symbol aren't reliant on ways but instead will pay like Scatter symbols with three or more required to produce a win.

• Grit Girl symbols on three reels have a base payout of x25.
• Grit Girl symbols on four reels have a base payout of x500.

The critical addition to this feature that can produce massive wins is that the Grit Girl symbol wins are multiplied by the multiplier on the sticky Wild in the bottom reel. This value can rise to massive levels during the bonus rounds and is shown visually on the Grit Girl symbols (see screenshots).

One small interaction which might go unnoticed is that the Reel Split feature does not split the Grit Girl symbol. Instead, it doubles the current payout multiplier!

Grit Symbol

The xNudge is a stacked Wild symbol that exists in the bottom reel that will always nudge to fully visible when landing in view, used on many previous NoLimit slots.

Each nudge increases the Wild multiplier by 1x,. If this nudges over a Wild, an extra +1x is added to the Wild multiplier is added.

An excellent addition is that if the xNudge Wild is not included in the win, it will nudge up again for an increased Wild multiplier in the subsequent spin. Think of this as a more potent second chance of scoring a big win when it occurs.

Of course, it wouldn't be a NoLimit slot if the chance of multiple xNudges on multiple reels wasn't possible, and these will add together to create a total Wild multiplier value!
