The Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has conducted a survey among its licensed online operators to assess the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the gaming sector.

The results of the survey show that the worst-hit sector is projected to be the B2C sector, in particular the operators exposed to Type 2 game types. Indeed, the gaming revenue for this sector is projected to be 40% lower than that projected in earlier budgets for the same full year 2020. Most of the operators are considering postponing investment plans for a later date, subject to a notable degree of uncertainty.

The survey covered the areas including the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on gaming revenue, operating costs and investments. It also focused on the industry concerns and actions taken by operators during this pandemic.

Ā 

Shoot first, ask questions never! Nolimit City rides straight into the lawless frontier in Dead, Dead or Deader,Ā  a no-nonsense, bullet-riddled slot where the only rule is: shoot ā€˜til it stops movingā€¦ then shoot again! This slot keeps the familiarity of Nolimit Cityā€™s catalogue but changes things up with its art style and humoristic quirks. Following the latest releases like xWays Hoarder 2, Tombstone Slaughter and Duck Hunters, this slot is looking to shoot up the charts.

Dead, Dead or Deader as the name implies is filled with some bloody good xMechanics that make the west deadlier than it already is with the likes of xNudgeĀ®, xBetĀ®, and xGodā„¢:

xNudgeĀ®: Always nudge to the top or bottom, boosting the multiplier by +1 with every nudge. After nudging to full visibility, the stacked xNudgeĀ® Wild gets hanged which awards a respin where the xNudgeĀ® Wild remains on the reels for one spin. When the respin is over the xNudgeĀ® Wild can get a neck snap which doubles the multiplier value and makes it stick for another spin. This can happen until the xNudgeĀ® multiplier reaches 999x or the dreaded Dropout, where the guy falls down and no more respins are awarded.

xBetĀ®: Guaranteed a Scatter Symbol on the second reel

1 Spin 1 xNudgeĀ® Wild xBetĀ®: Guaranteed 1 xNudgeĀ® Wild on any of the middle 3 reels

1 Spin 3 xNudgeĀ® Wilds xBetĀ®: Guaranteed 3 xNudgeĀ® Wilds on any of the middle 3 reels

It wouldnā€™t be the west without the Wild Symbols. If a Wild lands on the reels it will have a 1x multiplier but if more Wilds drop to the right,Ā  they will have a multiplier of 2x and so on until a maximum of 5x

When landing 2 Scatter Symbols in the base game, they transform into wilds with multipliers. Landing 3 Scatter Symbols in the base game, will trigger 12 Dead Spins where xNudgeĀ® Wilds always stick for at least one additional spin and the xNudgeĀ® multiplier gets doubled immediately before the next spins starts. Landing a Scatter on reel 5 will upgrade Dead Spins to Deader Spins and award +2 Spins

Landing 4 Bonus Symbols in the base game, will trigger 12 Deader Spins with the same features as Dead Spins, however the xNudgeĀ® Wild multiplier gets tripled instead of doubled.

xGodĀ® is back! Landing a stacked Casket Symbol on any reel will trigger a maximum payout of 19,349x the base bet. Duck Hunters is rated as ā€œExtremely Volatileā€ delivering the thrilling high-stakes gameplay that Nolimit City fans know and love.

Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said: ā€œAaaaand weā€™re back in the West! This gritty rendition ā€“ where being dead just isnā€™t enough ā€“ showcases xNudgeĀ® in all its glory. The Deadlock feature is one of those mechanics you either love or hate, but when it hitsā€¦ it hits big. Another wild ride we canā€™t wait for players to experience.ā€

ā€˜Dead, Dead Or Deaderā€™ will be available to all Nolimit City partners on February 25th, 2025.
