TOMBSTONE VS TOMBSTONE RIP

Last Updated: March 8, 2024

Written by Stephen Cummings

NoLimit City has started 2024 at a furious pace, releasing five new slots in the first three months of the year. The SlotsHawk team has decided to look back at two of their most popular slots of all time – Tombstone and Tombstone RIP.

In this article, we will compare these two player favourites to determine which slot really offers the best value. The attributes of the slots we will be comparing are the following:

• Comparison of the top features in both games.
• Contrast the payouts in each slot and contrast which offers the best value for money.
• Compare the graphics and playability of both slot machines.
• Compare the number of online slot sites which host the slots in question.

We will give Tombstone and Tombstone RIP a rating between one and five in each attribute. By the end of the article, we will sum up the scores and come to a decision on which slot is the best to play.

TOMBSTONE VS TOMBSTONE RIP – SLOT FEATURES

TOMBSTONE 4/5 | TOMBSTONE RIP 5/5

Both slots have pretty similar base features with wilds, scatters, multipliers, free spins and multiple bonus games. What sets Tombstone RIP apart is that it also comes equipped with NoLimit City’s patented xMechanics, creating more opportunities to win and more action. For most slot aficionados, this is a big plus. However, if you are a beginner or old-school player, you may prefer Tombstone due to its simple and straightforward features.

Regardless, we still have to give the win to Tombstone RIP in this category as it has a more complete set of features when compared to the newest slots.

Tombstone slot features:

• Free spins
• Bonus game
• Multipliers
• Wild symbol
• Scatter symbol
• Justice spins
• Gunslinger spins
• Bounty spins

Tombstone RIP slot features:

• Free spins
• Bonus game
• Multipliers
• Wild symbol
• Scatter symbol
• xNudge wilds
• xSplit wilds
• xSplit
• xBet
• xNudge
• xRIP
• Hang ’em high free spins
• Boothill freespins

TOMBSTONE VS TOMBSTONE RIP – PAYOUTS AND RTP

TOMBSTONE 4/5 | TOMBSTONE RIP 5/5

Both slots have decent RTP’s and high payouts, but the sequel has much much higher top payouts. The RTP is more or less identical.

Tombstone RTP = 96.19%

Tombstone RIP RTP = 96.08% or 94.08%

As for the max potential payout:

Tombstone max payout = 11,456x

Tombstone RIP max payout = 300,000x

One notable difference between the slots is that Tombstone comes with a fixed RTP rate, while Tombstone RIP has an adjustable RTP rate. This means that you will always get the same RTP when playing Tombstone, while you may get different RTPs on Tombstone RIP depending on where you play. Overall, the original Tombstone slot has a 0.11% higher RTP, assuming you are playing the highest RTP version of Tombstone RIP. This is marginal, so you will only really notice a difference if you play thousands of spins every week.

The biggest difference between the slots is the maximum payout. While Tombstone has a respectable 11,456x top payout (this is high, but nothing outstanding), Tombstone RIP has a massive 300,000x top payout. This makes it one of the highest paying online slots in the world, which is also the main reason why it comes out as the winner in this category too.

Just keep in mind that the volatility of Tombstone RIP is absolutely insane. With a hit rate just shy of 10%, it is a very unforgiving slot where you can win and lose a lot of money in a short period of time. The volatility of Tombstone is a bit more modest, although they are both regarded as high volatility slots.

TOMBSTONE VS TOMBSTONE RIP – GRAPHICS AND PLAYABILITY

TOMBSTONE 4.5/5 | TOMBSTONE RIP 4/5

Surprisingly, despite being almost three years older, the original Tombstone game comes out as the winner here. Both slots have a wild west theme, but the predecessor has more bright and playful graphics, which we think the average player prefers, we certainly do.

In terms of playability, it is a draw. Tombstone contains less features, so it is an easier slot to learn and play. Meanwhile, experienced players may quickly get bored because of the lack of features, so they probably prefer the sequel thanks to the xMechanics.

TOMBSTONE VS TOMBSTONE RIP – AVAILABILITY

Both Tombstone and Tombstone RIP are widely available at UK licensed slot sites. They are both produced by NoLimit City, which is one of the bigger game providers in the country.

Some of the most popular casinos offering the slots include Casumo, PlayOJO and All British Casino.

TOMBSTONE VS TOMBSTONE RIP : FINAL RESULTS

TOMBSTONE 17.5/20 | TOMBSTONE RIP 19/20

These are two great slot machines. They are both rated among the best slots from NoLimit City. It really is a close race, but Tombstone RIP snags the victory, mainly because of its massive payout potential. It also has more features, in particular the xMechanics, which you are likely to enjoy if you are a hardcore NoLimit City fan.

By the way, did you know that NoLimit City will be releasing another sequel in the same series – Tombstone: No Mercy. Judging by the name, we have a feeling that the gameplay may be even more brutal and unforgiving than in Tombstone RIP! It is scheduled to be released in April 2024. Once it has been released, you can find it among our slot reviews.
