Outsourced Slash Game: Slot Overview

When cryptocurrency first exploded into public view, largely on the back of Bitcoin, it was supposed to achieve all sorts of things: reinvent finance, decentralise systems, bring banking to the unbanked, and more. Whether crypto has truly delivered on its biggest promises is still arguable, but for gamblers it has undeniably helped popularise crash games. You know the type: a little ship heads for the moon as a multiplier climbs, you hit stop to cash out, or it crashes before you do and you lose the stake. Still somewhat niche, crash games have nonetheless pushed into the mainstream with titles such as Big Bass Crash and Spaceman, both from Pragmatic Play.

Rival studio Nolimit City has also jumped on the crash trend, whether that meant cheating death (or ending up in a grave) in Skate or Die, or earlier with Outsourced – though the crash-game component was later removed. Still, what one hand takes away, another gives back… and another gets chopped to pieces, because Nolimit City’s mysterious new ‘Lab’ project has taken the Slash Game from Outsourced, repackaged it, and turned it into a standalone title. Called Outsourced Slash Game, it lets players try crash gaming the Nolimit City way, and yes, there’s very likely going to be blood.

The first step is choosing a stake of $/€1 to $/€1,000 per round. That’s the only wagering choice available, as there are no Bet Boosters or Nolimit Bonus buys in this game. Three RTP options are available, with the 96% version providing the best theoretical return, while volatility is set at 6 out of 10, or medium. The action doesn’t feel medium at all, though, as it can swing wildly from one round to the next. A scoreboard shows top wins, top misses, and the outcome of the previous round. Time to find out how the Handjob machine operates. Yes, the Handjob machine.

Outsourced Slash Game: Slot Features

If you’re used to needing a lie-down after trying to work out how a Nolimit City slot actually functions, Outsourced Slash Game is the total opposite. The rules are straightforward. When you’re ready, players press the go button, and after a countdown, a laser begins tracing the outline of a hand. As the laser moves, a bet multiplier continually increases.

Hit the Stop button before the hand gets sliced and you collect whatever multiplier is showing, anywhere from 1.01x to 1,500x. When this happens, the game also reveals what the maximum possible result could have been, even if you didn’t reach it. If the laser cuts the hand right away or before you cash out, the bet is lost.

Outsourced Slash Game: Slot Verdict

Crash games are harsh by nature, but the original Slash Game was especially unforgiving – it only became available after landing the game’s 5,000x MAKS WIN (or by paying 5,000x the bet), and then you had to risk the entire MAKS WIN in the Slash Game stage. Incredibly righteous for any gambler with cast iron cajónes (and the luck) to hold out until the very end and turn 5,000x into 50,000x. Absolute tough shite for everyone else who waited too long and dropped the whole lot. You could call it a controversial extra, and maybe that controversy is exactly why the feature got cut. The Skate or Die version of the Crasher Game asked a little less in certain respects, but even so, these kinds of crash mechanics aren’t for everyone.

Outsourced Slash Game’s take probably won’t be either, but at least players should know exactly what they’re signing up for if they choose to risk digital digits for a shot at glory. The maximum glory has been toned down in Outsourced Slash Game, and now players with cast iron cajónes (and luck) can push all the way to 1,500x their bet (1:1,563 rounds). As with any crash game, reaching the very end is far from simple. Punters more or less need to be willing to ride each round to its absolute limit and accept multiple losses along the way if they’re chasing the top outcome. Seeing cartoon hands get hacked up in demo mode is entertaining, though it’s obviously a different story IRL with real dough at stake. Still, for players who enjoy this style of play – and if it fits their (responsible) risk/reward appetite – Outsourced Slash Game delivers a ride that can swing from fist-through-the-door frustration to a killer rush, and straight back again.
