Nitropolis 3 review

Theme and Style

Nitropolis 3 has a sci-fi dog theme in which players enter an alternate reality where these good boys have taken over civilization.

The heat is palpable as palm trees sway in the distance, and players try to stay on the good side of their canine rulers.

The gritty urban aesthetic gives this slot a dystopian futuristic feel, while the cute and fierce dog characters keep the atmosphere light.

Visuals and Soundtrack

The upbeat soundtrack has a 70s vibe and brings to mind an action sequence from a heist film. The reels spin with a satisfying flicking sound, and the occasional dog barking keeps the canine theme salient.

Each dog symbol is animated in a cartoon style with a distinct gangster personality. The pug character is especially amusing with his chaotic pose and bulging eyes. The other symbols include colourful graffiti letters and cocktails of acid. These support the futuristic gangster vibe of this slot.

The reels themselves seem to be crafted from complex metallic machinery, adding to the dystopian sci-fi look of the game. Beyond the reels, players will see a decidedly grim tropical world filled with pollution and shadows.

Overall, the animation and soundtrack work together to create a dystopian world of gangster dogs that fans of the franchise will appreciate.

Gameplay and Key Statistics

Nitropolis 3 has a structure of six reels and four rows. The reels can expand upwards during special features, creating a maximum of 8 rows.

Payouts are awarded for landing matching symbols in adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel and going toward the right.

The Cascade feature means that any symbols that form a winning combination disappear, allowing new symbols to fall from above to take their place.

This game offers a return to player of 95.00%, well below average for the industry.

The range of bets provided by this game ran from a minimum bet per spin of $/£/€0.20 up to a maximum of $/£/€50 per spin.

With high volatility, Nitropolis 3 will award payouts less frequently, but with larger wins.

Bonus Gameplay and Special Features

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Bonus, Super Bonus, Both Ways, and Redrop symbols.

Small Nitro reels are special reels that cover two symbol positions and have between 4 and 12 payout symbols. Big Nitro reels cover six symbol positions and contain between 2 and 6 payout symbols. These symbols have a 2x2 size.

The Both Ways feature triggers winning combinations to be paid out from both left-to-right and right-to-left.

The Redrop feature prompts all Bonus symbols and Nitro feature symbols to stay on the reels as the Nitro reels respin.

The Free Spins feature is triggered when players land at least 3 Bonus symbols. All Nitro reels remain sticky throughout the Free Spins feature. This feature can be retriggered.

The number of free spins awarded depends on the number of Bonus symbols that trigger the feature, with 8 free spins awarded for landing 3 Bonus symbols and as many as 20 awarded for landing 6 Bonus symbols.

Players trigger the Super Bonus game, a special version of the Free Spins feature when they land a combination of Bonus symbols and Super Bonus symbols.

During the Super Bonus game, the reels expand and the Both Ways feature is active.

Conclusion

We do not recommend this low RTP (95.00%), high volatility sci-fi dog-themed slot.

Though the front end of Nitropolis 3 is a lot of fun, this slot’s unimpressively low RTP makes a recommendation impossible. Players searching for a game with a playful sci-fi theme—or dog theme—would do well to consider options that can offer them a better RTP.

That said, fans of the Nitropolis franchise may find visiting this gritty dog-eat-dog world worthwhile, despite its drawbacks.

The plethora of bonus features also adds interest to this game that some players may find worth checking out despite the low RTP.
