How Pug Thugs of Nitropolis Works

Pug Thugs of Nitropolis is an online slot developed by ELK Studios, featuring 6 reels and 6 rows of spinning symbols. The game introduces a unique twist to paylines, as winning combinations can begin from any of the four sides of the square grid—left, right, top, or bottom. To achieve a win, players must connect three or more matching symbols in straight or diagonal lines without any gaps. Only the longest winning combination per payline is rewarded, and each bet is calculated at 100 coins.

Players can wager from a minimum of £0.20 up to a maximum of £5 per spin. A round begins when the Spin button is pressed at the chosen bet level. After any win, all winning symbols and any Nitro Reels involved will respin, giving additional chances to extend wins.

Paylines, Winnings, and Payouts

Winning combinations and payouts are determined by the paytable. Payouts are displayed either in coins or the player's currency, with options to switch this preference in the Settings menu. Only the longest payline per direction is counted for each spin.

Symbols and Game Modes

  • Normal and Bonus Modes: The slot can be played in a standard mode or a bonus mode featuring free spins.
  • Wild Symbol: Wilds substitute for all symbols except for bonus, super bonus, and coin symbols. A line composed solely of wilds pays the highest available symbol value.
  • Nitro Reels: These special reels occupy a single symbol space but display a stack of symbols. Their size indicator reveals how many symbols are included within the stack.

Nitro Reel Mechanics

  • When paylines intersect on the grid, a Nitro Reel forms at the crossing point after wins are paid. If a Nitro Reel already exists there, it is upgraded.
  • Nitro Reels can be upgraded up to a size indicator of 8, showing the number of stacked symbols they represent.
  • If a Nitro Reel contains a bonus or super bonus symbol, the size indicator is turned off, and it displays only one symbol.
  • When containing coin symbols, Nitro Reels pay out the number of coins shown by the size indicator once collected.
  • After any respin, all Nitro Reels display the same symbol across the grid.

Corner Feature Screens

Each corner of the game grid features a dedicated Feature Screen, which can randomly activate its bonus effect during a round. Multiple features may trigger at the same time, and each has a distinct function:

  • Make Big: Randomly enlarges a symbol to cover an area of up to 4x4 spaces.
  • Collect: Collects all coin values on the grid before payouts, holding the total value. This repeats with respins until no coins remain. Coin Rain can activate at the start of this feature, randomly adding more coins.
  • Nitro Wild: Turns one or more Nitro Reels wild for potential extra wins.
  • Nitro Match: Changes all Nitro Reels to match a randomly selected symbol on the current grid.

Features such as Collect, Nitro Wild, and Nitro Match persist until they are used or the current spin ends. If multiple features are activated, they play out in this order: Make Big, Collect, Nitro Match, then Nitro Wild. Some features may carry over to following respins if not activated immediately.

Nitro Insane Feature

  • This feature can randomly activate at the start of any spin, placing a random number of Nitro Reels within the central 4x4 section of the grid.
  • Nitro Insane is also triggered at the beginning of every free spin in the bonus round.

Bonus Game Details

  • Landing three or more bonus symbols activates the Free Spins Bonus Game. If more than three bonus symbols trigger the round, extra free spins are awarded.
  • If at least one bonus symbol is a super bonus symbol, the Super Bonus Game launches, where all Nitro Reels become sticky and stay in play throughout the feature.
  • Super bonus symbols do not appear during the bonus game itself.
  • Three or more bonus symbols appearing during Bonus mode retrigger further free spins.
  • Feature Screens reset at the start of every free spin.

Bonus Mode and General Information

  • Bonus mode begins after all ongoing respins and activated features have completed. Any unused features are cleared at this point.
  • The Bonus Game ends once all free spins have been played or if the win cap is reached.
  • Payouts from the Bonus Game are made after the round concludes.
  • The bet amount cannot be changed during an active game round.
  • If the win cap is reached, the round ends immediately and winnings are credited accordingly.
  • The RTP value for this slot is available within the game display.
  • There is a maximum win cap of 25,000 times the placed bet.
  • All bets and winnings are void in the event of a malfunction.
