A rundown of Nolimit City’s new Gator Hunters 2. The core features are the Fire Zone created every spin, the Eater that devours symbols, and a revolver that fires 11 kinds of bullets from 2x to 3,000x. RTP 96%, max win 30,000x, extremely high volatility.
Key takeaways
- On October 6, Nolimit City released Gator Hunters 2, the sequel in its swamp hunter series.
- Every spin, a Fire Zone appears on the grid, and special symbols that land inside it get upgraded one level.
- The revolver cylinder holds 11 kinds of bullets, from 2x to 3,000x.

3,000x. That is the value of the most expensive bullet in Gator Hunters 2. When the revolver cylinder spins and stops on the golden bullet, that multiplier is applied to the win of the current spin. Up to six revolvers can appear on a single grid.
Released by Nolimit City on October 6, this game is the sequel to Gator Hunters. If Duck Hunters 2 went back to the forest a month ago, this time it is the swamp. The announcement’s story goes like this: the guys loaded up the truck and headed out, and Greg packed his revolver. They expected to be home before dinner, but the swamp caught fire and a Gatornado blew in. Greg has been missing since Saturday.
A Fire Zone every spin
The grid uses scatter pays, where 8 or more of the same symbol anywhere on the grid make a win. When winning symbols disappear, new symbols drop in, and the cascade continues as long as wins keep coming. On top of that comes this game’s first special mechanic. At the start of every spin, a burning zone appears somewhere on the grid. Its size is one of 2×2, 3×3, 4×4 or 5×6.
When a special symbol lands inside the Fire Zone, it gets upgraded one level. A wild receives one of 2x, 3x or 10x as a multiplier. An Eater becomes a Super Eater, and a bonus symbol becomes a Super Bonus. A revolver’s bullet value goes up. The announcement sums it up like this: “What lands in the fire comes out better.”
What matters is that the Fire Zone size is different every spin. With a 2×2 zone, the odds of a special symbol landing inside are low, while with a 5×6 zone most of the grid is a sea of fire. The zone size at the start of a spin already tells you a lot about what to expect from that round. During the bonus, Fire Gatornado Spins always have a zone of 4×4 or larger, so upgrades happen far more often.
An Eater that only moves once the wins are done
Only one Eater symbol appears at a time. It starts moving when there are no more wins on the grid. A regular Eater picks a random group of symbols and devours them all, lets new symbols drop in, and then turns itself into a wild.
The Super Eater does the same thing and also attaches a 2x, 3x or 10x multiplier when it turns into a wild. When this wild takes part in a win, the multiplier applies to the payout, and if several multiplier wilds take part together, their multipliers add up. When an Eater is upgraded in the Fire Zone, the grid gets flipped over once more.
The announcement calls the Eater “polite,” which is a fun touch. It waits while wins remain on the grid and only starts eating after everything is done. Thanks to this order, the Eater rescues spins that would otherwise end as a dud. Clearing symbols can start a new cascade in the newly filled spots, and the leftover wilds help that cascade along.
A revolver loaded with 11 colors of bullets
If there is still no win after the Eater is done, it is the revolvers’ turn. Each revolver mixes multiplier bullets with empty chambers. If the cylinder stops on a bullet, its value is added to the total multiplier and applied to the win of the current spin.
| Bullet colors | Multiplier |
|---|---|
| Purple | 2x |
| Dark blue | 3x |
| Sky blue | 5x |
| Teal | 10x |
| Green | 20x |
| Lime | 30x |
| Orange | 50x |
| Red | 100x |
| Pink | 200x |
| White | 1,000x |
| Gold | 3,000x |
There are three kinds of revolvers. A regular revolver spins once and is done. A Super Revolver spins one more time when a bullet comes out. A Super Fire Revolver respins every revolver that still has bullets the moment a bullet comes out. If six revolvers are on the grid at once, a single Super Fire can set off a chain of shots.
Here is the order of play. First, the spin continues until wins and cascades are finished. Then the Eater devours symbols and becomes a wild. If there is still no win, the revolvers spin. The revolver multiplier applies to the entire win of that spin, so the bigger the win built up in earlier cascades, the more a single bullet is worth. The announcement explains why several revolvers appear together: “Why have just one?”
Gatornado Spins
Three bonus symbols give 7 Gatornado Spins. Each Super Bonus among the triggering symbols adds 1 more. During the bonus, each bonus symbol gives +1 spin and a Super Bonus gives +2. When a revolver is upgraded, it fires all its remaining bullets before the next spin and pays out.
A Super Bonus is a bonus symbol that was upgraded after landing inside the Fire Zone. When a bonus lands in the fire in the base game, the bonus gets that much longer. A single Fire Zone affects not just base game wins but bonus length too, so where the fire lands is the first thing to check every spin.
The total multiplier is kept throughout the bonus. However, it only applies to wins on spins where a revolver lands and picks a bullet. Four bonus symbols give 9 Fire Gatornado Spins. The Fire Zone is always 4×4 or larger and every revolver is Super Fire. The 7 Bullet Juicer Spins, bought for 390x your bet, come with every revolver fully loaded and no empty chambers.
There are four boosters. The Bonus Booster at 3x guarantees a bonus on reel 2, and the 8x Kill Spin guarantees one revolver with a bullet of 10x or higher. The 50x Overkill Spin includes only a Super Revolver and bullets of 50x or higher, and the 1,400x Massacre Spin includes only a Super Fire Revolver and bullets of 1,000x or higher.
All revolvers that appear in a Massacre Spin are Super Fire as well. It is a purchase where several revolvers loaded only with white 1,000x and golden 3,000x bullets keep respinning each other. Massacre, just as the name says.
An x-tra Spin is included too. After a round ends, you spin once more holding the total multiplier and any revolvers that still have bullets. In this game the multiplier only applies on spins where a revolver lands and picks a bullet, so whether you have revolvers left determines the x-tra Spin’s value. The price depends on the multiplier and remaining revolvers, and the option only appears after a scatter win in the base game.
In short
The max win is 30,000x the base bet. Nolimit classifies volatility as “extremely high” and RTP is 96.00%. Following Duck Hunters 2, Side Hustle is back as well. There are bets on which of Boss, Liz, Buddy or Greg gets hit, bets on whether the total multiplier passes 100x or 200x, and a Dead Spin bet on spins that end with no win.
Product owner Per Lindhammer said, “This time we set the place on fire and loaded the revolvers a lot more. That combination worked really well.” The result is a three-layer structure: the Fire Zone upgrades symbols, the Eater overturns the grid, and the revolvers fire multipliers.
