Tanked 3: First Blood 2 does not look like a normal slot machine. Nolimit City gave it seven reels, each a different height — 4-5-6-5-6-5-4 — and then allowed that field to expand as many as three times during play. The title is a parody and the artwork is loud, but the interest of this guide is narrower: what that unusual geometry does to a player's budget, and which figures are actually confirmed.

What kind of game this is

The studio is Nolimit City. The opening layout is 4-5-6-5-6-5-4, meaning the reels vary in height and the picture is asymmetric before anything has even happened. The field can expand up to three times over the course of play. Published return to player is 95,99% and the maximum win is 25 584 times the stake.

That cap deserves its own moment, precisely because it is not a round number. 25 584 is the output of a calculation rather than a marketing decision — the figure a structure produces when every layer is taken to its maximum at once. The studio does not publicly confirm a volatility label for this release, so we do not invent one; that line sits in the game info panel. The scale of the ceiling nevertheless tells you that most spins have to end empty.

Bonus features

The central mechanic is the expansion itself. Each time the field opens, the number of cells grows and with it the number of combinations a single spin can produce. In practical terms the same stake buys a differently sized game at different moments of the session: one thing in the narrow opening layout, quite another once the field has expanded three times.

We do not list further features, because they are not publicly confirmed, and inventing them would be especially risky with this studio: Nolimit City tends to chain its mechanics together in ways that a short paraphrase gets wrong. The full list with trigger conditions is in the game info panel and deserves a read before the first real stake. The same panel carries the paytable, which shows how much of the game's value is handed over in the base game at all.

Stakes and limits

No consistent bet range is published for this title, so the figures below use a stated example stake of 0,20 € and the real limits should be read off the game panel. A twenty-five euro balance is then 125 spins. An expanding field resolves a spin more slowly than a plain reel set, so at roughly eight to ten spins a minute that budget lasts around thirteen to fifteen minutes.

The upper end from the same stake is worth stating honestly: the 25 584x ceiling pays 5116,80 euros at 0,20 € and 25 584 euros at one euro. It is a theoretical maximum, not a target to plan a session around. The more useful figure is turnover — an hour at 0,20 € and nine spins a minute pushes roughly 540 spins and 108 euros through the machine. If the budget is thirty euros for the evening, the only working control is the stake floor, because an expanding field will not let you meaningfully raise the tempo.

Demo play and wagering

Free mode is usually offered on Nolimit City games, and here it has a job no number can do: showing how often the field genuinely expands and how far. That single question decides whether a session feels like it is moving or standing still. A hundred demo spins give a far more realistic picture than ten real ones, where every outcome looks significant.

On bonus money, note that a structure like this clears a wagering requirement unevenly: turnover accumulates, but the bankroll swings hard and may not survive to the end of the requirement. A steadier alternative from the same section is Money Maker. The formula, the weightings and the maximum-stake clause are on the wagering requirements page, cashier timings under withdrawals, and limit-setting under responsible gambling.

Frequently asked questions

What is the grid in Tanked 3: First Blood 2?
It opens as 4-5-6-5-6-5-4 — seven reels of differing heights — and the field can expand up to three times during play, changing how many combinations a spin can produce.
What return to player does the studio publish?
Nolimit City lists 95,99%. Like every RTP figure it is a long-run average and promises nothing about any individual session.
How big is the maximum win?
The ceiling is 25 584 times the stake — an exact rather than a rounded number. At twenty cents that is 5116,80 euros; at one euro, 25 584 euros.
How is this different from an ordinary five-reel slot?
There are seven reels, they are not the same height, and the field does not stay one size. The same stake therefore buys a game whose combination count changes as the session runs.
