Tombstone Begins

Tombstone Begins takes the Nolimit City City Wild West franchise back to its starting point with an origins story framing and some of the series' most elaborate mechanics yet. The 5-reel layout uses a 4-5-5-5-4 row configuration with 22 paylines, very-high volatility rated 10 out of 10 by Nolimit City, and a max win of 20,000x your bet. The Win Respin mechanic is here, but so is a Revolver symbol that fires bullets and three distinct free spin modes, each escalating in power. Released in May 2026 and available at Wild.io on desktop and mobile.

What is Tombstone Begins?

Tombstone Begins is a 5-reel video slot from Nolimit City with a 94.03% RTP, very-high volatility, and a top win of 20,000x the bet. Its standout mechanics are a Win Respin system with sticky symbols, an xNudge Wild that compounds multipliers per nudge step, and a Revolver symbol that loads and fires bullets during respin sequences.

The three free spin modes, Gunslinger Spins, Outlaw Spins, and Widowmaker Spins, escalate in power based on how many Bonus Scatters land at trigger time. Each mode builds on the same core mechanic, a non-resetting xNudge multiplier and loaded Revolvers, but Widowmaker Spins adds every loaded Revolver firing all remaining bullets at once, creating the highest win potential of the three. The 4-5-5-5-4 row setup is a departure from the original Tombstone's variable-row structure and gives the middle reels the most positions for wilds to land.

Tombstone Begins Slot Theme & Graphics

The origins-story framing means Tombstone Begins shows the frontier town before the legendary showdown, with younger versions of the outlaw characters and a setting that feels earlier and rawer than the later installments. The reel background depicts dusty saloon interiors and open desert landscape, with wanted posters and frontier signage in the frame border. The 4-5-5-5-4 row structure gives the reels a slightly taller appearance than the original game, accommodating more symbol positions on the wider middle columns.

The Revolver symbol is the main visual addition to the series in this entry. It is rendered in detail, including a bullet-count indicator that shows how many shots remain, and the firing animation plays mid-respin when bullets are discharged. The xNudge Wild maintains the series-standard gunslinger silhouette. On mobile, the taller grid format fits portrait orientation well, and the Win Respin chain animations clearly show which positions are locked versus live.

Tombstone Begins Slot Symbols & Paytables

The paytable uses card royals on the low end and five Western weapon and treasure symbols for the premium pays, with a Wild, a Bonus Scatter, and a Revolver symbol handling the game's mechanic triggers.

Low Value Symbols

Card royals from 10 through Ace form the low-value set, styled in a frontier typeface on weathered parchment. These are the most frequently landing symbols across the 22 paylines and provide steady base-game pay frequency. During Win Respins, they can freeze as part of a winning combination and then serve as anchors that allow other symbol types to build around them in subsequent respins.

High Value Symbols

Five Western-themed symbols make up the premium paytable: knives, pistols, dynamite, cash bundles, and gold bars. Gold bars is both the top premium and the Wild, paying as a premium symbol and substituting for all regular symbols. Dynamite sits just below gold bars in pay value. Because the Win Respin mechanic freezes winning symbols, landing dynamite or gold bars early in a respin chain sets the board for subsequent symbols to land around and extend the sequence.

Special Symbols

The Wild lands on any reel and holds the same value as the top-paying gold bar symbol in addition to substituting for all regular symbols, making it the most valuable landing outside of the Revolver combo. The xNudge Wild (carried from the wider Tombstone series) nudges to full visibility and earns +1 multiplier per nudge step. The Bonus Scatter is the free spins trigger: 3 award Gunslinger Spins, 4 award Outlaw Spins, and 5 award Widowmaker Spins. The Revolver symbol loads with 3 to 6 bullets on landing; one bullet fires per Revolver per respin during Win Respins, contributing to the respin chain while bullets remain.

Tombstone Begins Bonus Feature & Special Features

Win Respin

Every winning combination in the base game triggers a Win Respin. Winning symbols freeze, non-winning positions re-spin, and any new wins (including new instances of existing winning symbol types, wilds, scatters, or Revolvers) extend the chain by freezing the new contributors and firing another respin. The chain ends when a full respin resolves without new additions. Revolvers that land during a Win Respin fire one bullet per spin for each remaining bullet in their chamber, contributing to the respin chain as long as any bullets remain. This turns a Revolver landing mid-chain into an automatic chain extender.

xNudge Wild

The xNudge Wild appears as a stacked gunslinger on the reels. When it lands partially visible, it nudges down until fully visible, adding +1 to its multiplier for each position it nudges. Multiple xNudge Wilds visible simultaneously multiply their multipliers together rather than adding them, compounding the total win multiplier applied to any wins involving those wilds. In Tombstone Begins, the xNudge multiplier does not reset between free spins during all three bonus modes, meaning a multiplier accumulated early in a free spins sequence carries forward to every subsequent spin.

Gunslinger Spins

Triggered by landing exactly 3 Bonus Scatters. Awards 6 free spins with the xNudge multiplier active and non-resetting across all spins. Landing 1 additional Bonus Scatter during Gunslinger Spins awards 1 extra free spin. This is the entry-level free spins mode, but because the non-resetting multiplier continues to grow through the bonus, even the base 6-spin count can accumulate a meaningful multiplier total if xNudge Wilds land frequently.

Outlaw Spins

Triggered by landing 4 Bonus Scatters. Awards 8 free spins with a non-resetting xNudge multiplier and fully loaded Revolvers active from the start of the bonus. The fully loaded Revolvers mean every Revolver landing during Outlaw Spins begins with its maximum bullet count, firing more bullets per respin than in the base game and creating longer respin chains within each free spin.

Widowmaker Spins

The top-tier free spins mode requires 5 Bonus Scatters and awards 10 free spins with all Outlaw Spins features active plus an additional trigger: at the start of Widowmaker Spins, all Revolvers on the reels fire all their remaining bullets simultaneously in a single evaluation rather than one per spin. This bulk discharge means the maximum Revolver contribution is applied immediately, setting up a fully loaded respin chain from the opening spins and maximizing the potential output over the full 10-spin run. The 20,000x max win is achievable primarily through Widowmaker Spins with an xNudge multiplier compounding across the full sequence.
