Beheaded Demo & review

Beheaded turns every winning fall into progress: the heads that pay are cut loose, and the points they leave behind push a five-level bar toward upgraded symbols and free spins. Nolimit City released this jungle horror game in June 2024, and the intro badge rates it Insane. It suits bonus chasers who like a base game that keeps tipping into small bonuses, and gamblers who will face a potion at the end.

How Beheaded works

Shrunken heads and bone letters hang on five reels of four rows, and Nolimit counts up to 178 connected ways to win. When a win lands, Cut Reels take over: the winning symbols and those hanging below them fall away, new ones drop in, and the cutting repeats for as long as new wins form. A blue-eyed skull tops the paytable, and the heads below it split into High and Medium symbols, which matters once the bar starts upgrading them.

The Progression bar: how base spins become bonuses

Every symbol that falls adds points to the bar: 3 for a Wild, 2 for a High head and 1 for a Medium one. The bar has five levels, it resets every round, and spare points count toward the following one.

So a single busy base spin can run straight into a short round of Ayahuasca Spins, and in those spins the bar keeps climbing. Three Scatters that fall in one round skip the climb and open Tzantza Spins directly, with two extra spins for each level skipped.

Soul Wilds, Tzantza Spins and the potion

Soul Wilds

Three Soul Wilds collect souls from falling High heads: the Happy one needs 4, the Sad one 10 and the Angry one 18. A full collector drops a Wild zone of 1x1, 2x2 or 3x3, which multiplies the round's general multiplier by 1, 2 or 3 before that multiplier resets. A Scatter inside a Wild zone adds one free spin.

Tzantza Spins

Tzantza Spins sit at the top of the bar, where every Medium head has already become a High one. With only the best symbols falling, each cut pays more and fills the Soul Wilds faster. For us this is the round the whole game is built to reach.

Pick a Potion

A Tzantza round that ends below the max win offers a choice. The Butterfly Bottle adds a guaranteed win between 5x and 8,000x the bet. The Skull Bottle stakes the whole win on a chance at the max win, a chance that grows with the size of the win, and loses everything otherwise.

Bonus buy and xBet: prices and what you get

The buy menu skips the bar, and the booster raises the odds of its top level.

Each RTP is a range because it depends on the potion you pick. The game shows one volatility label, Insane, for everything, and our record does not say which bonus the 30% and 20% shares of the Lucky Draw give.

RTP, volatility and max win

The rules give the base game 95.99% to 96.03%, and they spell out which end you get: the top figure assumes the Skull Bottle every time. Taking the guaranteed bottle costs a little return. The intro rates the game Insane. The cap is 15,950x: once a round's total would pass it, the round closes and pays the cap.

Our Beheaded demo test

In the base game the bar kept its promise. Seven of our 100 spins tipped into Ayahuasca Spins, yet none of those rounds paid much, and the best, on spin 71, came to $9.60. Both level-3 Ayahuasca rounds from the buy menu stayed small too.

Tzantza Spins were different. Our bought round reached $702.60 by its third spin, ran one spin longer than the ten it was sold with, and stood at $704.65 when the potions appeared. The Butterfly Bottle added $50.00.

Our 500x Tzantza buy: 754.65 after 11 spins and the Butterfly Bottle. FluxPlays demo test, 2 November 2026.

The 3x3 Angry Soul Wild zone, a natural Tzantza round and the Skull Bottle's outcome never came up, so our account of them leans on the rules. One session and three bought rounds show the shape of the game, not its return.

Is Beheaded worth playing?

Beheaded earns its place for one reason: the Progression bar makes the base game feel like it is always going somewhere. Small bonuses arrive often, and each one is a chance to climb toward Tzantza Spins, where the upgraded heads change the scale of a cut. The potion then asks a real question at the end of the best round.

Pick Six Feet Under if you want Nolimit's falling-symbol style with Gems that grow under the dirt and a higher ceiling. Choose Beheaded if you would rather watch a bar fill and symbols upgrade, level by level.

By the rules, Tzantza is the buy that matters, since it starts where the others hope to finish. In the demo, try the Skull Bottle at least once to see how it frames the gamble.
