Tanked 3: First Blood 2 slot review: demo, RTP and max win

Image: Nolimit City

Every number above comes from Nolimit City's official Tanked 3 page. The provider lists one RTP, 95.99%, and no alternative versions. Casinos can still be supplied a different configuration for some titles, so the game's own information panel at the casino you use is the figure that applies to your session. Our guide to RTP versions explains how to find it.

The official Nolimit City game page shows a Demo option for Tanked 3, which plays with virtual coins rather than money. It is the cleanest way to see how the battlefield behaves before deciding whether the game suits you at all. We have not recorded a demo session for this review, so nothing here describes a particular result, and a demo session tells you nothing about what a real-money session will return.

The demo is useful for one thing in particular: learning to read the screen. Tanked 3 resolves a lot of movement, explosions and drops in a single spin, and the reviews quoted on the provider's own page agree that the sheer number of events takes time to follow. Watch which character is collecting, what colour of gem it picks up and whether a coin is being paid against the base bet. Once that is clear, the animations stop looking random.

Gambling is for adults aged 18 and over. If you play for real money anywhere, set a limit you are comfortable losing and treat every spin as entertainment, not income.

Tanked 3 does not use paylines. It runs on Nolimit City's xLoot mechanic: character symbols move around the grid and pay when they pick up gems of their own colour. All characters can collect wilds. Each gem has seven payout levels, and a gem's level rises by one each time its matching character kills another character, so fights on the grid push the gem values up as the spin goes on.

Coins are separate from gems. They land with values from 1x to 5,000x and pay that value multiplied by the base bet when a character picks one up. If a character is killed, the coins it was carrying drop back onto the grid, but anything already paid stays paid. A Coinburst symbol turns every position characters have travelled through during the spin into coins, which is where the coin side of the game can add up quickly.

The grid starts as a 4-5-6-5-6-5-4 shape split into four sections. Bombs, Rocket and Loot Rocket boosters and the Big Boom each expand sections by one step, up to three times each, giving a maximum grid of 9-10-11-12-13-12-11-12-13-12-11-10-9. Tank Boosters (Rocket, Loot Rocket, Grenade, Hatchet and Airstrike), Pickpocket, Small Boom and Big Boom are the tools characters use to remove each other. The full provider descriptions of each feature sit further down this page.

The provider puts the free spins frequency at 1 in 259 spins on average. That is a long-run average from the game's model, not a promise that a feature arrives within any number of spins. The tier you reach depends on how many Bonus symbols a single character collects, which is why character survival matters more here than in most slots.

The provider does not publish a separate RTP for any of these buys. The arithmetic matters more than the names: the God Mode option costs 4,000 times the bet, so at the minimum €0.20 stake one purchase costs €800. A large displayed award is only meaningful when set against what was paid for it. Feature purchases are not offered in every market, and casinos licensed in Great Britain may show a different menu; our bonus buy guide covers why.

Nolimit City caps Tanked 3 at 25,584 times the base bet. When a round's total passes that figure, the round ends and the cap is paid. At the €0.20 minimum that ceiling is €5,116.80. The provider also lists a max win probability of 1 in 21 million, and an xGod feature that can trigger the maximum directly in the base game or the bonus modes. The ceiling is a limit on the game, not a target or an expected outcome.

The hit frequency of 20.24% means about one spin in five returns some win on average, and most of those wins will be smaller than the stake. Our guide to max win, hit frequency and RTP explains how the three figures fit together.

If you searched for Tanked 2, there is no such slot: Nolimit City's catalogue has no Tanked 2 page and the studio went straight from Tanked to Tanked 3: First Blood 2. The sequel's published RTP is slightly lower and its ceiling slightly higher. For other recent Nolimit City releases with heavy feature menus, see Mental 2 and Soaked by Seamen, or browse every Nolimit City slot.

Some players have asked whether Tanked 3 was removed. Nolimit City's product page was still live when we checked on 20 October 2026, as it was on 13 October. A provider listing does not prove that every casino offers the game in every country, and we have not seen a supplier statement of a worldwide removal. If the game is missing at your casino, ask that operator about the exact title and your market, and never use location tools or an unlicensed site to reach it.

Our verdict: Tanked 3: First Blood 2 is a dense, high-event game where reading the grid takes practice, the published figures are clear and the feature buys are expensive in money terms. Try the official demo first, keep stakes within a budget, and if gambling stops being fun, free confidential help is available from BeGambleAware.

Payouts are awarded when the moving character symbol picks up gem symbols of its same colour.

Wild symbols can be collected by all characters.

- xLoot™ Upgrade: Each gem has 7 payout levels, which increases when its corresponding character kills other character symbols. The payout level increases by 1 for each character killed.

Coins can appear on the reels with the following values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1,000, 2,000 or 5,000.

When a character picks up a Coin, the player is awarded the Coin’s value multiplied by the base bet. If the character is killed, any Coins it collected during that spin will be dropped on the grid - however, the player retains any winnings already awarded from the Coins.

- Coinburst: When a character collects a Coinburst symbol, all positions traversed by any character - while landing or collecting symbols during all avalanches in the current spin - are transformed into Coin symbols. Only empty positions, Gems, and Wilds can be transformed.

If a Wild symbol position is transformed into a Coin, it will not be available for collection by any other character symbols.

There are two types of Bombs:

- Bomb: expands in 1 direction.

- Three Way Bomb: expands in 3 directions.

They trigger when no Characters can move and all possible Tank Boosters have been activated.

It will explode in the direction/directions where it points. All payout symbols and Character symbols are removed from the reels, and the grid expands in the direction of the bomb’s impact.

If any character is removed by any of the above Bombs, it will reappear on the reels when new symbols drop in.

There are 5 different types of Tank Boosters that can be picked up by characters: Rocket, Loot Rocket, Grenade, Hatchet and Airstrike.

The character will carry the Tank Booster until there is no additional movement on the screen and then it uses one. Each Tank Booster’s function is explained below:

- Rocket: The character will shoot the wall close to any random enemy character. The explosion will remove all enemy characters and payout symbols in the explosion pattern as shown in image and increase the size of the grid section by 1 step. Feature symbols will remain on the reels.

- Loot Rocket: It will act like the Rocket and is additionally guaranteed to pick up all feature symbols dropped by any character that is killed, along with any new feature symbols (except Bombs) that appear during grid expansion.

- Grenade: The character will throw the grenade targeting any random enemy character. The explosion will remove all characters and payout symbols in the explosion pattern as shown in the image.

- Hatchet: The Hatchet targets the character holding it and removes all characters and payout symbols within the explosion pattern shown in the image. The character holding the Hatchet will remain on the reel.

- Airstrike: The character hits 2 to 3 enemy characters and removes all characters and payout symbols within the explosion pattern shown in the image.

If a character is removed by any of the above Tank Boosters, it will reappear on the reels when new symbols drop in. Any Tank Boosters the enemy collected before the explosion stay with it when it reappears. Explosion will not impact Coins, Bombs, Coinburst, Tank Boosters, Bonus and Wild Symbols.

- Pickpocket: When 2 characters are next to each other and no character can move, there is a chance that one character is awarded a Tank Booster, Coinburst or a Bonus symbol.

- Small Boom: When 3 characters are next to each other and no character can move, the character that can remove the most symbols on the grid will explode and remove all character and paying symbols in the explosion pattern. Gems matching the exploding character’s colour will gain +1 payout level.

- Big Boom: When 4 characters are next to each other and no character can move, the characters will explode and remove all paying symbols on the reel area and increase size of each grid section by 1 step. All gems will gain +1 payout level.

xGlitch™ may trigger when a character is limited to picking up only one symbol, causing only feature symbols to fall during avalanches.

This can repeat 4 to 50 times in a row, creating the appearance of a glitch in the game.

The grid is in 4 sections top left, bottom left, top right, and bottom right. Each explosion that increases the grid will do so in 1 step.

It is possible to expand each of the 4 sections a total of 3 times to a maximum grid of 9-10-11-12-13-12-11-12-13-12-11-10-9.

- The Bombs increase the grid section that is in the direction/directions of the explosion.

- A Big Boom will expand all sections by 1 step.

- The Rocket and Loot Rocket expand the section that is closest to the explosion of the rocket.

When the grid expands, it can reveal one or more feature symbols in the newly expanded section.

When a character is killed, it is guaranteed to drop a Coin symbol and any Coins it collected before being killed on the adjacent positions on the grid.

It may also drop one of the following feature symbols on its position: Tank Boosters, Bomb, Three Way Bomb, Bonus symbol or Coinburst symbol.

When a character symbol collects 3 Bonus symbols, 7 Thresher Spins will be awarded with below features:

- Level of Gems and grid size will be carried over from the base game and will be persistent.

- Each collected Bonus symbol will award +1 spin.

When a character symbol collects 4 Bonus symbols, 7 Reaper Spins will be awarded. It operates just like Thresher Spins, but with below enhancements:

- Coins present on the reels will be sticky and will stay between spins until collected. Any coins present when Reaper Spins are triggered will also stay sticky throughout the feature.

When a character symbol collects 5 Bonus symbols, 7 The Dead Pay Well Spins will be awarded. It operates just like Reaper Spins, but with below enhancements:

- Coins collected by characters are paid out and then carried by them across spins as well - even those collected during the trigger.

- When a character is killed, all held Coins will be dropped onto adjacent positions on the grid and they will payout if picked up again.

At a cost of 2 times the base bet, the player is guaranteed to land 1 Bonus symbol.

At a cost of 50 times the base bet, the player is guaranteed to land 1 Coinburst symbol.

At a cost of 200 times the base bet, the player is guaranteed a reel setup featuring the maximum grid size and all gems at their highest value.

Chase ‘A Different Perspective’ by landing a Max Win symbol on the reels at a cost of 4,000 times bet.

The max payout of the game is 25,584 times the base bet.

When the total win exceeds this amount the game round will end and 25,584 times the base bet is awarded.

‘A Different Perspective’ can also be achieved if the complete Max Win symbol is visible in the reel area.

At the end of the game round, players might get the opportunity to purchase an additional spin with the available Tank Booster options to choose from. The selected Tank Booster will be assigned to any one of the Characters.

The additional spin will retain grid size and the symbol positions of the current reel setup. The cost of the spin will be calculated based on the reel setup. If the cost of the Extra Spin is less than or equal to the win on the previous spin, then the Extra Spin option will be presented.

What is the RTP of Tanked 3: First Blood 2?

Nolimit City publishes an RTP of 95.99% for Tanked 3: First Blood 2 and lists no alternative versions. RTP is a long-run average across a very large number of spins, not a prediction for one session. Check the game's information panel at your casino, which shows the configuration that casino actually runs.

What is the max win on Tanked 3: First Blood 2?

The provider caps the game at 25,584 times the base bet, and the round ends once that total is reached. Nolimit City puts the probability at 1 in 21 million. At the €0.20 minimum bet the cap is €5,116.80. It is a ceiling, not an expected result, and most sessions return far less.

Is there a Tanked 3: First Blood 2 demo?

Yes. Nolimit City's official game page shows a Demo option that uses virtual coins. It is a good way to learn how the characters, gems and coins behave before any real-money play. Demo results are not evidence of what a real-money session will return, and you must be 18 or over to gamble.

Is there a Tanked 2 slot?

No. Nolimit City's catalogue has the original Tanked, released on 3 December 2024, and Tanked 3: First Blood 2, released on 9 June 2026, but no Tanked 2. The studio skipped the number. If a site claims to offer Tanked 2, check the provider and title carefully before trusting it.
