This new Bizarre slot has an appetite for horror, big win potential
The new Bizarre slot from developer NoLimit City takes the slot genre somewhere new by basing itself on a crazed scientist who conducts morbid experiments that can lead to winning breakthroughs for ambitious players.
Fresh slot games are constantly adding new features, with only the most innovative games truly standing out from the pack. NoLimit stands as one of the few developers who consistently release awesome slot games, and Bizarre has the potential to be the latest of that vaunted bunch, giving players something unique to enjoy by diving into some dramatic themes.
New Bizarre slot more than deserves its name
Bizarre is played on a 5-reel layout with 20 fixed paylines. The game stands out for revolving around a mad scientist with the same name as the game, as he conducts morbid experiments on animals to create new creatures by splicing their genes together. The player acts as the scientist’s assistant, helping him with his experiments. It makes sense that the potential paylines are also primarily animal-themed, including crazy fusions of various animals. NoLimit isn’t new when it comes to giving games unique themes, but this one may take the cake.

The theme isn’t the only thing Bizarre has going for it, as it’s a fun slot game in its own right. With just over 96% RTP, the game has some consistency in its payouts while remaining quite volatile with a maximum payout of 20,000x the bet amount. While players can expect to make some big swings, the potential payouts are equally as huge, making for a potentially fun time. With the minimum bet being just $0.23 and the maximum being a little over $100, effective bankroll management is crucial for finding success in Bizarre.
All Bizarre game features, bonus rounds
Bizarre has a few unique features and bonus rounds that fans of other NoLimit slot games may find familiar.
The symbol most players will likely be chasing is the xSplit symbol, which is the centerpiece and looks like the game’s titular scientist. It can land on the first or fifth reel, and can either be a partial or complete 4-row symbol. Every time it lands, it splits every symbol on its row to double their size and potential multiplier, before becoming a wild. Those who want to chase the big wins will want to see this symbol as often as possible.
Bizarre heavily relies on scatter symbols, which is why most of its features revolve around them. These include chimera spins, which are triggered by three scatter symbols appearing on the reels. When activated, they cause a scatter on the middle reel to turn into a sticky reel, before the three middle reels are spun individually. During these particular spins, any wild, extra spin, or empty symbols can land, with wild and extra spin symbols staying in their positions and rewarding players with a respin. Number symbols add to the number of chimera spins, and wild symbols remain sticky throughout the feature, even getting boosted multipliers if they’re affected by xSplit symbols.

Super chimera spins take regular chimera spins to the next level. They’re activated when the player lands two scatter symbols and a super scatter, and have every quality of a base chimera spin. They also make it so that all scatters transform into wild symbols that remain sticky throughout the feature, increasing the potential of scoring big. There’s also a chance that the player may get the option to purchase an additional spin when a chimera or super chimera spin happens, with the cost being calculated based on the wild symbol multipliers.
Chimera spins carry high potential to win big, and boosters help make these wins more likely. Bizarre has two boosters, which include:
- xBoost: Costing twice the amount of the base bet, this booster guarantees that a scatter or super scatter symbol will spawn on the second reel. The player is also three times more likely to hit chimera or super chimera spins.
- Bonus hunt: Costing thirty times the amount of the base bet, this booster makes the player 49 times more likely to get chimera or super chimera spins. Only scatters or empty symbols can land while this booster is active, though there’s a cap on only one super scatter.
Finally, Bizarre also has the coiniage feature, which is only available through a bonus buy. When activated, it ensures that only coins with multipliers and special symbols land, with empty reel spots prompting respins until they’re filled. The sum of all multiplier values is added and multiplied by the base bet once the feature ends.
Bizarre has no shortage of identity and features. With the max win being as high as it is, casual and hardcore slot players should enjoy what is arguably the most unique game NoLimit has made yet. For those interested in its sci-fi horror theme and the mix of features it brings to the table, the Bizarre slot is now available for play on major betting platforms including Stake.
