Gluttony Slot Review: It’s Never Enough

It’s time to buckle up for a food fight of epic proportions. Nolimit City, those wonderfully weird folks behind some seriously wild slot games (xWays Hoarder 2, anyone?), have cooked up something truly… well, gluttonous. Their new game, simply titled “Gluttony,” dives headfirst into the glorious, messy, and slightly stomach-churning world of eating way, way too much.

Think of that moment after Thanksgiving dinner when your belt feels like it might just snap? Yup, this game is that feeling turned into a slot! We’re talking a full-on celebration of stuffing your face, having a legendary feast, and generally treating your stomach like it’s got unlimited space.

Now, if the thought of someone really going to town on a mountain of grub until they’re practically overflowing makes you a bit queasy, you might want to politely excuse yourself. Because Gluttony, led by a charming chap known as Fat Bastard (yes, really), doesn’t hold back on the theme. It’s all in, all the time, with a menu of features as extensive as a buffet line on a cruise ship.

The base game action unfolds in a room that’s trying to be fancy but has clearly seen some serious culinary chaos. Picture comfy chairs just begging you to settle in for a marathon munching session, but the floor? Let’s just say a lot of food hasn’t quite made it to its intended destination.

At first glance, it’s just a bit untidy, like, “Okay, someone had a snack.” But just wait. Let Gluttony get warmed up, find its rhythm, and you’re in for a wild ride of chomping down on every kind of imaginable (and maybe some unimaginable) food. Get ready for some serious feasting—hopefully with some tasty wins on the side.

Theme

In case you may have missed it, the Gluttony slot centres around a man who is large and in charge, whose main aim is to get as much food into his mouth as possible. Think of the movie “Seven,” but like a fun version.

Despite it being one of the seven sins, though, this theme shouldn’t be taken too seriously. It’s unique and strange and, since we consider ourselves unique and strange people, it appeals to us.

The grid is made up of reels filled with food that ranges from the healthy (sushi and salmon) to the not-so-healthy but pretty delicious (burgers and pizzas). Don’t forget about the beers (sure to bloat), the dessert, and the dinner bell that symbolises Scatters.

You can expect chomping and chewing sounds when symbols match, with, dare we say it, a burp or two hidden in the jazzy tune. Bonus games are “reserved,” and when free spins are activated, it’s “order up” time. The jazzy piano-based music is significantly faster, lending an air of anticipation.

Once in a bonus game, there are trumpets that signal this is special, with the waiter and Fat Bastard welcoming you. Wilds is represented by a steaming hot rotisserie chicken. Multipliers are sachets of tomato sauce that are ‘squished’ on the symbols that are affected. There is also a cute ditty about all the food on offer, and at the end of the game, you have the poor, overrun waiter scurrying back and forth while your total win is displayed.

The background is a dingy, low-lit restaurant that disguises uneaten plates of food and edible items on the floor. Should you win a significant sum, there’s a little cartoon of Fat Bastard and the waiter serving him even more food.

Gameplay

Gluttony unfolds on a 5×5 grid, with different payout systems depending on the game level. When you land winning symbols, they vanish, and new symbols drop down to fill the empty spaces, which is a commonly used tumble mechanism. Regular symbols can visually appear larger, and when they do, their payout value doubles until the next spin.

A special game phase called FEDCON 1 uses “Crosslink Wins.” In this system, winning combinations are linked to the symbol in the very center of the grid. It’s a unique feature that takes some time to get used to, but once you do, it’s an easy concept to grasp.

The lower-paying symbols in Gluttony are represented by five relatively healthy food dishes. The higher-paying symbols are five less healthy options, with pizza being the most valuable. A winning line of five low-paying symbols will award between 0.4 and 1.2 times your bet. A five-symbol win with the higher-paying, less healthy symbols will grant you a payout of 2 to 10 times your bet.

Features

The Gluttony slot has many bonus features. The xZone feature uses a ketchup sauce symbol to increase multipliers on nearby symbols, especially during the FEDCON 1 bonus.

Wild Pot symbols collect surrounding food symbols in winning combinations to increase a multiplier. There are Silver and Golden Bell Scatter symbols. Three Silver Bells trigger 8 Order Up! Free Spins. Two Silver and one Golden Bell give 10 Double Up! Free Spins with a 2x multiplier. One Silver and two Golden Bells award 12 Quadruple Up! Spins with a 4x multiplier. Three Golden Bells trigger 6 free spins and the FEDCON 1 feature.

Landing Golden Bells also triggers Golden Bell Spins with respins and increasing multipliers. In FEDCON 1, wins are based on the center symbol, and collecting winning symbols helps you level up, increasing spins and multipliers. Golden Bells can also upgrade the Order Up! feature with more spins and a higher multiplier.

Specifics

Gluttony, developed by Nolimit City and released on June 6, 2023, features a 5×5 reel setup with 3,125 paylines. This high-volatility slot offers a range of RTP values (96.09%, 94.03%, 92.02%) and a hit frequency of 25.27%, with free spins triggering approximately once every 309 spins.

Players can wager between a minimum of £0.20 and a maximum of £100, with the potential for a maximum win of 32,000 times their bet, occurring with a probability of 1 in 52 million spins.

Final Verdict

We can appreciate an online casino and game developer who would be willing to try something a little different from sparkling jewels, gold coins and ancient myths (although these genres have their place in the slot world too.)

Fans of Nolimit City, however, have come to expect something that’s a little quirky and flirting with the strange but always filled with novel themes, innovative features and entertaining gameplay.

Apart from the theme of Gluttony itself, most of the new ideas have been channelled into the bonus features, which can be a little complex. FEDCON 1, for example, may take a little while to grasp, as would the Crosslink Wins. If Fat Bastard is irking you just a bit, take heart. Literally. Should you achieve the maximum win of 32,000x your bet, the Heart Attack feature is activated.

It’s a caloric feast of unrivalled indulgence, where everything is in excess. The food, the theme, the features and the potential wins.
