Little Bighorn Review

Little Bighorn is an extreme volatility slot depiction of the Battle of Little Bighorn from NoLimit City, and it plays out on a 3-4-5-3-2 grid with 360 ways to win. The Scalp Wild triggers the xMount modifier, which turns US soldiers into multiplier wilds, and the scalp wild itself nudges fully in place on the middle reel. The main highlights are the Scalp and Spirit Call bonus rounds, and the max win is 25,676x your stake.

NoLimit City has a good handle on the Wild West genre, that much they have proven beyond any doubt. This is the first time they’ve added Indians to the mix, and the result is an explosive, yet somewhat understated, installment built around some core wild features. There is less confusion and modifier chaos this time, which might be a relief to certain players.

Little Bighorn Slot Features

The premium character symbols pay between 1.5 and 3.75 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and you get regular wild symbols that can appear on any reel to substitute for pay symbols and help complete wins. The wild pays the same as the top-tier Sitting Bull symbol.

The Scalp Wild can appear on the middle reel that’s 5 positions in height, and it triggers the xMount modifier. This transforms all US soldier symbols into wilds, and the scalp wild nudges fully in place to cover the entire reel.

Each nudge scalps the US soldier symbols, which adds +1 to the multiplier of the transformed wilds.

If you land 1 or 2 Totem Scatters in the base game, these expand to become full wild reels. During bonus rounds, the totem scatters also become expanding wilds, as well as awarding +1 extra spin. You get totem scatters on reels 2-4 in the Scalp Bonus Round.

The No Mercy Scatter can land on reel 5 only, and this triggers the Spirit Call Respin feature. The No Mercy Scatter is moved to reel 1 before the respin, and it’s transformed into a wild symbol with one of the following modifier abilities:

• Sitting Bull - turns all instances of this top-tier symbol into expanding wilds.
• Crazy Horse - turns this symbol into regular wilds, and +1 is added to the multiplier of these wilds per transformed symbol.
• Two Moon - transforms all instances of this symbol into wilds.

You need 3 totem scatters plus 1 no mercy scatter on the same base game spin to trigger the Spirit Call Bonus Round, and this gives you 10 free spins. It plays out similarly to the Scalp bonus round, but a No Mercy scatter is sticky on reel 1 for the entire feature.

The grid also changes to a 2-3-4-5-3 setup. The No Mercy scatter turns into the wild Crazy Horse, Two Moon or Sitting Bull symbol per spin, giving you the corresponding modifier.

The yellow star icon takes you into the Bonus Buy menu, but it’s not available in the UK and perhaps some other jurisdictions. The Scalp Freespins round costs 77x the stake, while the Spirit Call Freespins round sets you back 490x your stake. The RTP for each option is 96.19 % and 96.02 %, respectively. There is also a third option priced at 159.5x your stake, and it gives you a 20/80 % chance to get the Scalp or Spirit Call feature.

The xBet increases your bonus round chances from 1/281 to 1/100 spins, and it costs 50 % more per spin. The xBet also increases the win cap probability in the base game, from 1 in 19 million to 1 in 8 million.

Review Summary

Being NoLimit City and all, we actually expected even more brutal visuals in this depiction of the infamous Battle of Little BigHorn. Sure, you get a scalping here and there, but overall Little Bighorn doesn’t come across as all that disturbing.

The Morricone-inspired soundtrack creates an epic atmosphere, and the rustic presentation fits the bill perfectly.

Featurewise, it’s easier to understand what’s going on than in many previous releases, as you’re not bombarded with the usual arsenal of xMechanic modifiers. The win cap probability increases to 1 in 115,000 in the bonus rounds, and it clocks in at a somewhat moderate (for NoLimit City at least) 25,676x your stake. We have seen better win stories from this developer, but overall Little Bighorn is an unusual and strong release in the Native American genre.

Pros

• Scalp Wild xMount feature
• Expanding wild totem scatters
• 2 different bonus rounds
• Win up to 25,676x your stake

Cons

• Beware of customizable RTP ranges
