Stakes multiplied by this interval measure gross wagering, not the net cost of obtaining a bonus. Purchase returns above include the complete purchased round and are divided by the ticket price.

How it plays
24 rules screens from the game
Tombstone Begins sets five reels of 4, 5, 5, 5 and 4 rows on 22 win lines that pay from the leftmost reel. At EUR 1.00, five gold bars pay EUR 10.00, money bags EUR 7.00, dynamite EUR 5.00, pistols EUR 4.00 and knives EUR 3.00, with A down to 10 paying EUR 1.80 to EUR 1.00 for five. A win is not paid at once: its symbols and every other copy of them on the reels stick for a respin, each newly stuck symbol earns another, and the total is paid when no respins remain.
Revolver symbols can land on any reel with 3 to 6 bullets and fire one per spin, left to right and top to bottom. A Wild bullet turns its target into a Wild, xSplit doubles the multiplier of a symbol or Wild, Upgrade lifts a symbol and all its copies to a higher-paying one, and Random changes into another bullet type. One sheriff's badge empties every revolver, firing all its remaining bullets one after another, and a Refill badge reloads them to six.
The xNudge Wild bullet strikes above the top row of reel 2, 3 or 4; when the respins are over, the Wild nudges down until it covers the whole reel, adding 1 to the win multiplier per nudge. xNudge Multiplier bullets that land on such a reel add x2, x3, x10 or x100, and these additions stack.
Gunslinger Spins number 6 when three Bonus symbols land, four Bonus symbols give 8 Outlaw Spins with every revolver fully loaded, and five give 10 Widowmaker Spins, where revolvers also empty their chambers before the xNudge Wild comes down. Each extra Bonus symbol adds a spin, and the xNudge multiplier on a reel is not reset between Gunslinger Spins. After a bonus the game may offer an Extra Spin priced from those multipliers; the rules say the optimal return comes from declining it, and the series always declined.
Priced at 70x, EUR 70 at this stake, Gunslinger Spins carry a listed 95.97% against 96.02% for base play; the Nolimit Bonus menu also sells Outlaw, Widowmaker and Lucky Draw tickets, and Nolimit Booster bets are on offer, none of them played. A spin can be staked anywhere from a EUR 0.20 minimum to a EUR 100 maximum, the client scores volatility at 10.0, labelled Extreme, and any round ends once it reaches 20,000x the bet, an outcome simulated once in 217,000,000 rounds.

Verdict
611 xNudge rounds, half the base pay
From 101.02% in run one the return fell to 86.22% and then 81.29%, so the 30,000 EUR 1.00 rounds pool to 89.51%, below the 96.02% Nolimit City lists. Natural bonuses came 43, 46 and 39 times, one per 234.4 rounds overall, and the best of each run paid 1,055.2x, 651.4x and 756.6x. Hit rate sat between 20.03% and 20.7%, with a 0.7x median hit in all three.
An xNudge Wild came down in 209, 196 and 206 base rounds, one in 48.9 of the 29,872 without free spins, and those rounds earned 49.87%, 50.36% and 45.31% of base-round money. Pooled, lines through an xNudge reel brought 96.15% of natural bonus pay and 97.44% of purchase pay, while the 29,261 base rounds without such a reel returned 30.03% of their stake.
Run three's ticket 38, EUR 2,026.20 from a x135 line, turned that run's purchases into 133.60% of cost after 93.81% and 95.81%. Across 150 Gunslinger tickets the EUR 70 buy returned 107.74% against a listed 95.97%, and 16 tickets paid twice their price or more.
- Run one's ticket 45 pushed a line through an xNudge Wild reel to x145, still the top line multiplier after 150 purchases
- A x107 line through an xNudge reel lifted base round 8943 of run two to 296.8x
- Payouts of 100x or more came in 37 of 30,000 ordinary rounds, 12, 14 and 11 per run
- Five Bonus symbols opened 10 Widowmaker Spins in round 5871 of run one, which paid 1,055.2x, best of 128 natural bonuses
- Of 611 base rounds with an xNudge Wild on a reel, 242 paid nothing
- The median Gunslinger ticket paid EUR 29.33, 0.42x the EUR 70 price
- Run three closed 1,871.15 stakes under its start, within a stake of its lowest point
- Thirteen of 128 natural bonuses won nothing through an xNudge reel, and none of them passed 10.70x
Run 01·2026-11-07·101.02%
Fifty Gunslinger tickets at EUR 70 brought back EUR 3,283.50 of the EUR 3,500 spent, 93.81%, and lines over an xNudge Wild reel made 97.26% of that money. Ticket 49 paid EUR 493.70, the best of the set, while ticket 45 pushed a line to x145 and finished at EUR 314.15. Tickets 3, 4 and 28 never won through such a reel and returned EUR 0.60, EUR 2.75 and EUR 4.20.
Round 5014 lifted a line to x106 and paid 512.7x the stake, one of 43 natural bonuses whose xNudge lines together brought EUR 3,881.40 of their EUR 4,020.75. Five Bonus symbols came together only once, in round 5871, whose 10 Widowmaker Spins ran to 13 and paid 1,055.2x.
Across the 9,957 base rounds an xNudge Wild came down on a reel in 209, about one in 47.6, and those rounds paid EUR 3,032.65, 49.87% of all base-round money. The remaining 9,748 gave back 31.27% of their stake. Each of the four largest base rounds held such a reel, with round 8352 at 328.3x after a line reached x23.
Run 02·2026-11-07·86.22%
Run two bottomed out at round 8942, 1,583.15 stakes under the start after a high of 467.45 above it, and the very next spin paid 296.8x: an xNudge Wild covered its reel and one line through it reached x107, the biggest base-game win of the 10,000 rounds. Base rounds with such a reel numbered 196 of 9,954, one in 50.8, and earned 50.36% of base-round money, even though 82 of them paid nothing.
Natural bonuses came 46 times, one per 217.4 rounds, and brought 32.07% of all payouts. Round 5058 led at 651.4x, EUR 396.80 of it paid on one step of the feature, while five Bonus symbols appeared together once, in round 340, whose 10 Widowmaker Spins stretched to 11 and paid 116.25x. Rounds 6144 to 7358 passed with no bonus at all. Ordinary play finished at 86.22%.
Fifty Gunslinger tickets at EUR 70 gave back EUR 3,353.20, or 95.81%. Ticket 27 paid EUR 721.50 behind a x43 line and ticket 28 EUR 480.10 without earning a seventh spin, while ticket 4, which ran longest at 13 spins, collected EUR 12.60.
Run 03·2026-11-07·81.29%
One payout step brought EUR 540.15 of round 2518's EUR 545.35, and round 953 went further, 756.6x from a bonus that opened on 6 spins and earned one more. They were two of only 39 natural bonuses, one per 256.4 rounds, none of which began with five Bonus symbols, and between rounds 6878 and 8134 no bonus arrived.
At 81.29% the ordinary series came in low, and base rounds on their own came to 52.00% of their stake. The 206 with an xNudge Wild on a reel produced 45.31% of that money, 86 of them nothing; round 9427, the top base win at 270.7x, needed only a x11 line. From its high after round 983 the balance slid 2,334.7 stakes and closed at 1,871.15 below the start, within a stake of its lowest point.
Ticket 38 paid EUR 2,026.20 once a line through an xNudge reel reached x135, which lifted the fifty EUR 70 purchases to 133.60% of cost. The other 49 averaged 77.26% of the price, and ticket 22, the single one with no win through an xNudge reel, returned EUR 1.75.

FAQ
6 questions · answered from the log
Once an xNudge multiplier lands on a reel, does it stay for later Gunslinger Spins?
Yes. Reel multipliers from xNudge stay in place and count only on a spin where an xNudge Wild covers that reel again. In run one's natural round 334 reel 4 held x10 after a K line through the Wild paid EUR 5.00; the six later line wins did not cross an xNudge Wild and paid EUR 2.00 at x1, closing the round at EUR 7.00.
The first demo run came out at 101.02%; was that the game's real return?
No. Runs two and three returned 86.22% and 81.29%, so the 30,000-round pool carries an approximate 95% band from 75.06% to 103.96%. The listed 96.02% sits inside that band, and three runs neither confirm nor rule it out.
What did 150 Gunslinger Spins tickets at EUR 70 return?
Over three runs the 150 tickets cost EUR 10,500 and paid EUR 11,312.80, 107.74%, against 95.97% listed for that buy. Run three's ticket 38 alone paid EUR 2,026.20; the other 149 returned 89.04% of their price, with EUR 29.33 as the median ticket.
Can a Tombstone Begins bonus run longer than its first award of spins?
Yes. Every Bonus symbol landing during the feature adds a spin on top of the 6, 8 or 10 awarded for three, four or five at the start. Of 128 natural bonuses, 120 began on 6 spins, six on 8 and two on 10, and 73 ran past their first award, the longest to 13 spins in round 5871 of run one.
Which bullets do the revolvers fire, and what does each one do?
Each fired bullet changes a target: Wild, xSplit, Upgrade, xNudge Wild or xNudge Multiplier, with Random turning into one of these. Over 30,000 ordinary rounds the revolvers fired 25,521 bullets: 11,538 xSplit, 6,357 xNudge Multiplier, 5,102 Wild, 1,644 Upgrade and just 880 xNudge Wild.
Why do winning symbols freeze and spin again instead of paying right away?
Win Respins hold every winning symbol and its copies, add a respin for each new symbol that sticks, and pay only when the respins stop. That happened in 5,877 of the 29,872 rounds without free spins, which made 94.61% of base-round money; the longest chain, 12 respins in round 1037 of run two, ended at 12.3x.
