How To Win On Gluttony Slot - Features & Mechanics

To join the excessive feast filled with luscious dishes, players should pick their stake from a wide range of options between £/$/€0.20 - £/$/€100. Next, a 5x5 grid will deliver wins when at least 3 matching images land in a left-to-right sequence marking neighboring reels. Win evaluation is based on a ways system, meaning the vertical position of symbols on adjacent reels is unimportant. Gluttony comes with a cascading mechanism that removes all winning sets from view, allowing for the following instances to drop from above and complete the grid. Back in the busy kitchen of the hotel restaurant, a default return to player value of 96.09% combined with very high volatility characterizes the math engine.

The arrangement of regular symbols forms a hierarchy divided into two groups. Among the low-value images, there are various appetizers: fruit, salmon, sushi, veggies, and cheese. These award prizes between 0.1 - 0.3 times the bet for matching 3 instances and 0.4 to 1.2 times for combining 5. Premium icons are represented by a glass of beer, ice cream, a bowl of mac&cheese, a hamburger, and a pizza. They grant payouts from 0.5 to 2.5 times the bet for 3-of-a-kind hits and from 2 to 10 times for complete ways of 5. All symbols have their bigger counterparts, awarding an additional x2 multiplier for the medium size and x4 for the large, but those are only available in the bonus rounds.

xZone Sauce

The feature is triggered by a symbol depicting a single-use packet of ketchup. All symbols adjacent vertically, horizontally, and diagonally will gain a +1 multiplier for the duration of the game round.

Wild Pot

Appearing exactly as described, the Wild Pot can only land during Order Up!, Double Up!, Quadruple Up!, and FEDCON1 bonuses. Once it contributes to a win, it will increase its multiplier by calculating values from the winning symbols adjacent vertically and horizontally as follows:

• +1 for each low-value symbol
• +2 for each high-value symbol and Wild

Once charged, it will remain on the grid for one more win.

Golden Bell Spins

Landing a single Golden Bell Scatter (available only on the middle reel) activates Golden Bell Spins with 2 respins, and all symbols in their enhanced formed with x2 multiplier.

Scoring another Golden Bell Scatter awards a further 2 respins and increases the symbol multiplier to x4.

A third Golden Bell Scatter in succession leads to the FEDCON1 Bonus.

Gluttony Bonus Rounds

Various combinations of Silver Bell Scatters and Golden Bell Scatters activate different bonus rounds.

• 3 Silver Bells activate Order Up! Bonus with 8 free spins.
• 1 Golden Bell and 2 Silver Bells activate Double Up! Bonus with 10 free spins and x2 multiplier.
• 2 Golden Bells and 1 Silver Bell activate Quadruple Up! Bonus with 12 spins and x4 multiplier.
• 3 Golden Bells activate FEDCON1 Bonus with +6 free spins.

Every Golden Bell scored during the first three bonuses adds +2 spins and increases the multiplier by 2. Landing it in the FEDCON1 bonus permanently multiplies all outer reel values by 2.

FEDCON 1 Bonus

The most lucrative bonus round in Gluttony can be activated by landing 3 Golden Bells, although it cannot happen in a single base game spin since the symbol is only available on the middle reel. Hence, players must progress either through Golden Bell Spins or the regular free spin rounds to score 3 of them in succession.

FEDCON 1 is played on an unconventional board, showing the Fat Bastard in the middle, four single-symbol positions adjacent to him vertically and horizontally, and four 3-symbol reels situated on the outer border. Scoring wins is based on a unique Crosslink mechanism that requires matching combinations to start from the inner ring (on a single-symbol spot) and connect with at least one more symbol on the outer ring in the same direction (left, right, up, down).

Every win contributes to the meter. Accumulating enough points increases the level granting +2 free spins and a +1 multiplier on the Fat Bastard. It's possible to advance 4 times by collecting 20, 30, 40, and 50 points for each new stage. Low-value symbols contribute +1 point while high-value and Wilds +2 points per win.

Gluttony On Mobile

Players can join the excessive feast and stuff themselves full of delicacies anywhere they please, thanks to the latest HTML5 technology making the slot mobile-ready. The game presents a high-quality portable design working equally well in the landscape and portrait modes. The former offers an identical element distribution and proportions as the desktop format, while the vertical orientation conveniently rearranges the playing area and the UI to match the viewport. Thanks to quick loading times and a lightweight package, players can enjoy a smooth, hassle-free online experience on any smartphone or tablet.

Final Thoughts

It's a real shame that the Fat Bastard is such a greedy chap because the art Nolimit City pulled off in Gluttony really makes our salivary glands work overtime. But whenever we feel like admiring the double-stacked burger or grabbing a frothing mug of beer, they somehow disappear from the table down his ugly hatch. At least there are some wins instead to compensate for that "bitter" feeling.

In all seriousness, though, wow, what a game. Nolimit City sure knows how to conjure an elegant clash of distasteful and appealing. On the one hand, all those dishes look truly spectacular, working up an appetite at first sight. On the other, the somehow bizarre scene taking place in the murky hotel lobby and the qualities of the main character can come across as slightly repulsive. Especially when emphasized by the buzzing of flies, frequent burping, and slurping in an otherwise funky, energetic soundtrack played on a piano. Still, it's the classic Nolimit dark humor combination involving brilliant and consistent ideas on the visual side, like designing three versions of each symbol instead of just slapping an X2 or X4 value next to the grid in the bonus rounds, with spectacular music accompanying the gameplay throughout. The usual cherry on top is the immersive storytelling through the unique backdrop compositions on each stage and progressive big win celebrations.

The technical side of the game abounds in new exciting mechanics that can really make one's head spin. We've got the xZone feature that spreads the multipliers around it and the Wild Pot that works in the opposite way, absorbing them from adjacent winning symbols. There are mini versions of the bonuses in the form of Golden Bell Spins, giving players a taste of what awaits them in full free spins rounds. The Fedcon 1 bonus is nothing short of a masterpiece, seamlessly combining the intricacy of the new winning method with the theme's leading notion of feeding the Fat Bastard tons of food and making him announce the max win of 32,000 times the bet by getting a heart attack. In summary, Gluttony is a spectacular online slot like no other and a testament to all the best qualities Nolimit City has become famous for.
