With reels set against the backdrop of the Nitropolis skyline, the game offers a unique feature purchase to speed up access to gaming options and supports play on all devices.

Gameplay Overview

"Pug Thugs of Nitropolis" by ELK Studios is an innovative video slot with a unique 6-reel, 6-row structure. The game differs by lacking traditional paylines, replaced by the ability to form winning combinations from any of the four sides of the game grid. Combinations win if three or more identical symbols are placed starting from any extreme position and are connected either linearly or diagonally. Bets range from 0.2 to 100, with the game having an RTP of 94%, high volatility, and offering a maximum win of 25,000 times the stake.

Low-value symbols include J, Q, K, and A, with payouts up to 0.7X for six matching symbols. High-paying symbols include a blue gun, pink computer, golden jetpack, and green pug, with payouts up to 2X. The game features a wild symbol in the form of an electric tool marked "Wild," and a blimp with "Bonus" acts as the scatter symbol, triggering bonus games. A super bonus symbol can launch a round of super free spins, and coins that appear on the reels are collected by the Collect! feature for additional rewards.

Payment Lines

The game offers 3 payout lines.
