Pug Thugs of Nitropolis

Pug Thugs of Nitropolis is a video slot by ELK Studios with a quirky theme. Like all other slots from this series it is set in a post-apocalyptic Nitropolis, the game features pugs as the main protagonists, the Pug Thugs clan, battling to reclaim the city from Sergeant Nitro Wolf. The atmosphere is one of lighthearted competition within a dystopian setting, conveyed through the cartoon visuals and humorous character designs.

In comparison to original Nitropolis slot this sequel features a unique 6×6 grid layout with connecting paylines. Wins can be formed by landing at least 3 matching symbols connected in a line (either straight or diagonally) from any edge of the grid (left, right, top, or bottom). This offers more ways to win compared to traditional payline slots. Other world wild popular Nitro slots with 50 000X max win limits are Nitropolis 3 and Nitropolis 4

Symbols:

• Wild Symbol: Substitutes for all symbols except Scatter, Super Scatter, and Coin Symbols, helping players create winning combinations.
• Scatter Symbol: Represented by an airship with the text “Bonus,” landing 3 or more triggers the Free Spins bonus.
• Super Scatter Symbol: Identified by the text “Super Bonus,” landing 3 or more activates the Super Free Spins bonus with a special feature.
• Coin Symbol: Can land anywhere on the reels and is collected by the Collect! Feature (explained below).
• Nitro Reel: A special stacked symbol that appears in the central 4×4 area of the grid. Nitro Reels respin after a win and can increase in size (stack size) for potentially bigger wins. The maximum stack size is 8. Nitro Reels can also contain Scatter Symbols, Coin Symbols, or Wild Symbols depending on the triggered feature.

Bonus Features:

• Respin: Whenever a winning combination is created, all winning symbols and Nitro Reels on the grid respin, offering a chance to increase the win.
• Feature Screens: These four corner sections of the game grid can randomly trigger modifiers during gameplay:
  • Make Big!: Expands a random symbol on the grid to cover a larger area (2×2, 3×3, or 4×4), potentially creating more winning connections.
  • Collect!: Collects the values of all Coin Symbols in view and keeps the accumulated value on the screen. Coin Symbols respin after a collection, and this process repeats until there are no more Coin Symbols, awarding the total collected value. The Coin Rain feature can also trigger randomly at the start of the Collect!, scattering additional coins on the grid.
  • Nitro Wild!: Converts one or more Nitro Reels into Nitro Reels containing Wild Symbols, increasing win potential.
  • Nitro Match!: Selects a random symbol type on the grid and matches all Nitro Reels in view with the selected symbol type, creating uniformity for potential wins.
• Nitro Insane: This feature can be randomly triggered at the beginning of any spin during the Base Game. Nitro Insane places a random number of Nitro Reels within the central 4×4 area of the grid before the other reels stop spinning, potentially creating wins early in the spin.
• Free Spins: Triggered by landing 3 or more Scatter Symbols anywhere on the reels during the Base Game. The number of Scatter Symbols determines the number of awarded Free Spins (minimum 6). During Free Spins, the Feature Screens are cleared for each new spin, and the Nitro Insane feature is automatically triggered at the beginning of every Free Spin.
• Super Free Spins: Activated by landing 3 or more Scatter Symbols, including at least one Super Scatter Symbol. Similar to Free Spins, the number of Scatter Symbols determines the number of awarded Super Free Spins. However, Super Free Spins come with a unique advantage: all Nitro Reels become sticky and remain in position throughout the duration of the bonus, offering more chances for wins.

Bonus Buy (X-iter):

This optional feature allows players to purchase immediate access to bonus features instead of waiting to trigger them organically. The X-iter menu offers various options with different costs:

• Bonus Hunt (3x bet): Increases the chance of activating the Free Spins bonus on the next spin.
• Nitro Insane (10x bet): Guarantees the Nitro Insane feature on the next spin.
• Nitro Insane + Feature Screen (25x bet): Guarantees both Nitro Insane and a random Feature Screen to activate on the next spin.
• Bonus Game (100x bet): Triggers the regular Free Spins bonus immediately.
• Super Bonus Game (500x bet): This is the most expensive X-iter option, costing 500 times your current bet. However, it grants immediate access to the coveted Super Free Spins bonus. Super Free Spins function similarly to Free Spins but with a major advantage: all Nitro Reels become sticky and remain locked in position throughout the entire bonus duration.
