What Is Beheaded?

Beheaded strands a lone survivor on a tropical island after a shipwreck, only for night to reveal that the island's real danger is a Tzantza collector — a sorcerer with a taste for shrunken heads, summoning souls from a ritual grove filled with skulls and a boiling cauldron. It's an offshoot of Nolimit City's Blood & Shadow, sharing some of that game's dark ritualistic energy while building around a genuinely different core mechanic.

The grid runs on a 5-reel, 4-row layout producing 178 connected ways to win, where 3 or more matching symbols landing on adjacent reels form a win. Card royals fill the lower tier, with increasingly detailed shrunken-head Tzantza symbols making up the higher-paying end of the paytable.

The Progression Bar and Soul Wilds

Every winning combination feeds the Progression Bar: Wild symbols contribute 3 points each, high-paying symbols add 2, and medium-paying symbols add 1. The bar runs through five levels, resetting with each new game round, and every level reached unlocks a trio of increasingly powerful Soul Wilds — the more of these active at once, the larger the Wild Zone they create on the grid, directly increasing the odds of triggering the bonus features.

Reaching a new level also awards 2 free spins in the Ayahuasca Spins feature outright, meaning the base game's progression system feeds bonus opportunities continuously rather than gating everything behind a single scatter trigger.

Tzantza Spins and Pick A Potion

Landing enough Progression Bar levels or scatters unlocks Tzantza Spins, the game's more volatile bonus tier. At the end of the round, players face Pick A Potion: choose a potion to boost the accumulated win further, or select the Skull Bottle to gamble the entire total outright for a shot at the full 15,950x max win — a genuine, high-stakes choice where losing the gamble forfeits everything.

The xBet Nolimit Booster, at 2x the stake, triples the odds of triggering Tzantza Spins starting from level 1. Direct buys cover Ayahuasca Spins (100x), Tzantza Spins (500x), and a 225x Lucky Draw.

RTP, Volatility and the Realistic Odds

Default RTP is 96.03%, with 94.12%, 92.04% and 87.01% configurations also available. Volatility carries Nolimit City's Insane rating, and hit frequency of 27.14% is genuinely solid for that tier, translating to a win roughly every 3.68 spins. Free spins trigger naturally at an unusually generous rate of once every 19 spins.

The 15,950x max win, completing what's known as the Headfull Collection, comes with a published probability of roughly 1 in 189,700 spins — a notably attainable ceiling given the size of the number. Bets run $0.20 to $100 per spin.

Our Verdict

Beheaded stands apart in Nolimit City's catalog by building around a genuine collection mechanic rather than the studio's more familiar xNudge or xWays formula, and the Progression Bar's five-level structure gives every spin a visible sense of accumulating toward something concrete. The remarkably frequent 1-in-19 free spins rate keeps the bonus feeling genuinely reachable, and the Pick A Potion gamble at the end gives Tzantza Spins a real moment of tension most bonus rounds don't offer. The dark voodoo theming and shrunken-head imagery won't be for everyone, but mechanically this is one of the more distinctive collector-style slots in the studio's lineup.
