Outsourced: Payday Slot Overview

Outsourced: Payday is a casino game from Nolimit City based on the concept of a device that most of us have seen in an amusement park, at a department store, or simply standing somewhere on the sidewalk. We're talking about the claw machine, a source of endless dreams of beautiful toys and ultimate frustration when the grip turned out not to be strong enough. This peculiar setup is another experiment from the studio after the crash-style release, Outsourced: Slash Game. Is it shaping up to become a wider series of unique games, stepping away from the traditional slot mechanics? Perhaps, but for now, we'll be dealing with a straightforward gameplay where a claw can randomly drop down and pick up an instant win value. There are several options to boost chances of it not dropping the reward, plus a sort-of bonus round with several free "Claw Spins" where the top win of 10,000x the bet can be achieved. Let's check out if it holds the candle to what Nolimit is known for.

Base Game

As usual, before we start the claw-dropping action, a bet level needs to be selected. Once you're happy with the stake, hit the spin button to put the conveyor belt in motion and bring in five items. Each one will contain a value that's a multiplication of the active bet in an x2 - x1,000 range. The claw can either move down and pick up one of them (except the x0 ones, duh) or stay stationary, meaning a no-win spin. Picking up the prize is just the first step, as the claw must also hold it through the movement. If the item is dropped, it's also a no-win. That's pretty much it when it comes to the base gameplay.

Claw Spins

When the claw picks up the Bonus Symbol without dropping it, the game awards 3 free rounds, during which only prizes with values x2 or higher will be available on the conveyor belt.

OutSourced: Payday is an instant-win game from Nolimit City with 5 reels, 1 row, and no paylines. Players can choose their stake from a range of options, starting from a Min.bet of 0.2 up to a Max.bet of 100. The game offers a default RTP of 96.00%, with two lower variants also available to operators, including 94.01% and 92.02%. Players will experience medium volatility, with a max win capped at 10,000x the bet. Free spins can be triggered at a rate of 1 in 94 spins on average, while the max win can occur once in 1,300,000 spins.

Outsourced: Payday is Nolimit's original take on an instant-win mechanism that does the job it's designed for but is a far cry from the engagement offered by the studio's usual products.
