HOME OF THE BRAVE: OVERVIEW
Last Updated: March 31, 2025Written by Stephen Cummings
If you are a proud American or a little sensitive when it comes to jokes about America, then you should probably avoid this slot. Nevertheless, NoLimit City are becoming more known for poking fun at America, but it is lighthearted. The developers even made their own song in Home of the Brave, which is actually rather catchy and certainly improves the overall slots experience here.
In this Home of the Brave slot review, we will talk you through everything you need to know about this slot machines so that you can make an educated choice as to whether you want to play for real money or not.
HOME OF THE BRAVE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS
The first aspect of Home of the Brave slot that we noticed was the soundtrack which we think was created specifically for this game. It is a catchy song which certainly pokes fun at American society, which is basically all this slot is about. Of course, once we started playing, we became fully aware of all of the different features available here.
We began by betting the minimum of 20p spin with the xBet feature activated, this took our total bet up to 28p per spin. It is also possible to activate a different NoLimit Bet booster where you will receive a guaranteed scatter plus one Launch Wild on the reel conveyor belt above the regular grid. We tried both bet boosters and found that the former is probably the best because the latter costs 8x the bet.
We did not win an awful lot playing this one, in fact we finished down money. We did trigger x2 Covfefe free spins rounds with the first one being much more profitable than the second. Unfortunately, we did get a little bored during the bonus game. Home of the Brave is a decent slot which is very well made. However, we do feel that other NoLimit City slots such as Tanked are more fun, exciting and better value for money too.
HOME OF THE BRAVE FEATURES
Like with pretty much all slots developed by NoLimit City, there are plenty of modern slot features for you to enjoy here. We have outlined them all for you below.
CONVEYOR BELT
Once you hit some wins, you will notice that the winning symbols will explode and more symbols will drop down into the grid. The symbols which can drop-in from the conveyor belt are quite valuable and can be any of the following.
- Wild Launch Button: Triggers the Hot Sauce Reels and transforms into a Wild Doughnut.
- Wild Doughnut: A regular Wild symbol.
- xNudge® Wild Tower: When the xNudge® Wild Tower symbol drops into the game area, it gradually nudges down to the bottom row, becoming a stacked Wild with a multiplier.
Each nudge increases the xNudge® Wild multiplier and the multiplier size depends on how many symbols it nudges to reach the bottom row. xNudge® Symbol is always 4 symbol high. Nudge multipliers are additive.
- Red Cap: Landing the Red Cap symbol activates The Cap Win Machine, giving the player the opportunity to get additional rewards including instant Max Win.
- Trash Can: This is a dead symbol which never drops but allows new symbols to enter Conveyor Belt.
HOT SAUCE REELS
You will see two reels to the side of the regular grid, these are called Hot Sauce Reels. These are triggered when the Wild Launch symbol lands in the main reels. The hot sauce reels offer all sorts of extra features which will increase the payouts of the main game.
You get the opportunity to trigger xSplit, xBomb and Multiplier RPG symbols.
COVFEFE SPINS
When you land three bonus spin symbols in the base game you will trigger eight Covfefe spins. During this round, both hot sauce reels contain symbols on each spin and the xBomb Wild multiplier is sticky throughout the game.
Landing another bonus symbol will add an additional two free spins and upgrade any additional spins into Dog Eating spins.
DOG EATING SPINS
Landing four bonus symbols in the base game will trigger 10 Dog Eating free spins. During these spins, both Hot Sauce Reels contain symbols and you are guaranteed to land at least one Launch Wild symbol each spin. The xBomb wild multiplier is sticky throughout too.
XBET AND XBET DELUXE (NOLIMIT BOOSTER)
At the cost of 1.4 times your bet, you are guaranteed one bonus symbol on the second reel by activating the xBet feature.
If you activate the xBet Deluxe feature at a cost of 5x your base bet, you are guaranteed a bonus symbol on reel 2 and a Wild Launch Button in the conveyor belt. Of course, you need to hit at least one win in the base game in order for the Wild Launch button to drop into the reels.

- Bonus game
- xBet
- xBet Deluxe
- xSplit
- xBomb
- xNudge

HOME OF THE BRAVE RTP (RETURN TO PLAYER) AND MAXIMUM PAYOUTS
The Home of the Brave slot machine has an RTP of 96%, which is exactly average when compared with other online slot games. We usually recommend playing slots with RTP’s of 96% or over here at SlotsHawk.
The highest maximum payout you can achieve when playing Home of the Brave for real money is 61,446 times your bet ensuring that Home of the Brave is one of the best paying slot games released so far this year.
STRATEGIES WHEN PLAYING HOME OF THE BRAVE FOR REAL MONEY
Like with most slots created by NoLimit City, the biggest payouts generally occur when you hit the free spins games and Home of the Brave is no different. We were betting the minimum of 20p per spin using the xBet feature and we managed to trigger x2 Covfefe free spins within around 30 minutes of gameplay. The first game we managed to win over £20, but in the second game we won around £4.
During the base game, we did not trigger very many wins unfortunately, and we did get a little bored too.

Important info that you should be aware of includes an RTP of 96% and a max payout of 61,446x. The minimum bet is 20p per spin and the maximum bet is £1.50 in the UK when you play for real money. The hit frequency here is 23.46% and the max win probability is 1 in 13.8m spins. The free spins game is triggered once in every 246 spins on average. Home of the Brave is developed by NoLimit City and was released on 11/03/2025.
THE SLOTSHAWK VERDICT
“Home of the Brave is certainly fun for a time, but for us it did get a little tedious. The soundtrack is fun and there are some exciting features, but for us there is not enough value from the base game.”
