The Cage (NoLimit City) – Review & Demo Play

The Cage Slot Game

Stepping into The Cage feels like an MMA main event. Nolimit City runs a gravity engine on a 7-reel layout set as 3-4-3-4-3-4-3 with 5,184 ways. Wins build from left to right in the base, then symbols collapse, slide, and refill. Crowd noise, heavy hits, and scatter teases keep the pace up. Bets run from 20p to £100, and the setup takes a spin or two to settle in, yet it soon clicks once cascades start chaining. In the bonus, wins pay both ways, opening more ways to land multi-way hits.

Under the hood it is very volatile, with quick repeats via a collapse mechanic. xBomb wilds, diagonal Roundhouse Kicks, and a multi-fight Title Fight carry the show. Hit frequency sits near a third of spins and the default RTP sits at 96.05 percent with alternative settings in some lobbies. The top payout reaches 25,000x, though the cap is rare. Bonus entry from three scatters turns up around once every couple of hundred spins in long play, where the expanded grid adds extra bite.

Symbols and Payouts in The Cage

The lows are 10 to A. Premiums are the fighters Big Fatty, Ironjaw, One Glove Man, The Constrictor, and Little Dragon. In the base, seven of a kind pays 1.5 to 2 times for lows and 2.25 to 3 times for premiums. In the bonus, nine of a kind pays 2.5 to 3 times for lows and 3.25 to 4 times for premiums. Wild Knockout xBombs act as wilds. Scatters launch Title Fight, and the Uppercut symbol removes an opponent’s hit point. All wins count on adjacent reels and can extend through cascades.

The Cage Slot Bonus Features

Wild Knockout xBombs step in for pays and then explode in a cross to clear symbols around them. Scatters and other Knockout symbols stay on the grid. Each detonation lifts the win multiplier by plus one for the next collapse, and all active Knockout symbols blow before symbols slide again. The effect can turn a modest way win into a growing chain, especially when several blasts line up in quick order across the slanted rows.

When three to six matching symbols sit diagonally without forming a pay, Roundhouse Kick comes to life. The triggering set is removed and creates one to four Wild Knockout xBombs in the middle positions of that diagonal. Those new Knockouts then raise the multiplier by plus one as they explode, and the game clears other non-scatter, non-Knockout tiles. It is a tidy rescue move that often flips a dead spin into a fresh collapse with wider coverage.

Three scatters trigger Title Fight Free Spins. The layout shifts to 3-3-3-2-2-2-3-3-3 with four title belt booster spots at the centre, and wins pay both ways. Uppercut symbols take one hit point from the opponent. Beat Big Fatty, Ironjaw, One Glove Man, then The Constrictor to unlock a low symbol x2 multiplier spot, one and then two symbol transform spots, and finally a sticky wild with all earlier boosters. Little Dragon has no hit points to chip, and only the max win ends that fight. Feature buys appear at 68x, 198x, 498x, or 279x as a Lucky Draw.

How to Win at The Cage

The Cage pays for three to nine symbol sequences on adjacent reels from the left in the base. During Title Fight, pays count both ways. Cascades remove winning symbols, then remaining ones slide to fill gaps and new ones drop, so a single spin can produce many steps. Roundhouse Kick is key when the grid stalls on a diagonal cluster. It seeds Knockout xBombs that raise the multiplier and clear lanes for fresh ways to connect across the seven reels.

Set stakes between 20p and £100 and use Autoplay if you prefer a steady rhythm, with sensible limits. Bonus Buy is offered in some markets, though not in the UK. If you buy, the RTP figures differ slightly by pick. I tend to aim for natural entries first, since the base can throw regular teases and solid chains when xBombs and Roundhouse Kicks link up. The free spins upgrade to both ways pays is where my better hits came.

The Cage RTP & Volatility

The default RTP is 96.05 percent, with alternative settings of 94.09 percent or 92.09 percent used by some sites. Volatility is high at 8 out of 10, and the listed hit frequency is 31.98 percent. Bonus entry averages about once in 205 spins over long sessions. The win cap is 25,000 times your stake, with an estimated one in 35 million hit rate. Feature buys show slightly different returns at roughly 96.13 to 96.33 percent depending on the chosen entry.

My Verdict on The Cage

I came away impressed by the tempo and depth. The base game keeps you engaged thanks to xBomb blasts and those diagonal kicks, while the title bouts deliver the real drama with belt boosters and both ways pays. The theme hits hard and the audio lands heavy. It will not suit every mood, yet when it clicks the flow feels right and the numbers can run hot. For fight slot fans, The Cage deserves a regular place in the session plan.
