Outsourced: Payday is an online slot from the NoLimit City stable. The game, released on December 3, 2024, is a sequel to one of the game provider’s most popular slots, Outsourced. While the graphics and concept of the sequel may seem different from its predecessor, a closer look will reveal a link.

In the first Outsourced game, players were teleported to a mass-producing factory using human labor. In this sequel, players also find themselves in a factory, albeit one that is heavily mechanized, as everything is handled by automated bots.

NoLimit City, as such in the two games, explores that ever-rising conflict between the human labor force and technology-based bots. 

When it comes to spinning the reels of this game, players should bear in mind the following:

• Bet Option: Outsourced: Payday slot supports an extensive range of betting options starting from 0.20 coins to 100.00 coins. Players, therefore, must select the option they desire rather than sticking with the default option.  

• Spin Option: Players can spin the reels manually or take a hands-free approach by enabling the auto-play mode.  

• Turbo Mode: To further increase the speed and action of the game, players can activate the turbo mode.

When it comes to game mechanics, Outsourced: Payday is rather unique. It doesn’t use a standard reel format. Rather, its grid features just one row of five symbols which ‘spins’ horizontally, moving from left to right.

The Payday Claw Machine mechanic is used to determine winning spins. As the symbols move on the ‘conveyor belt’ row during a spin, the claw from above can pick up a symbol randomly from the belt.

If the claw picks up a paying symbol without dropping it, the player will be awarded the symbol multiplier value times the bet. The claw will not pick up the symbol with a 0x multiplier value. The symbols which fetch the highest payouts from the highest to the lowest are as follows:  

• 1000x multiplier symbol. 
• 100x multiplier symbol. 
• 50x multiplier symbol. 
• 20x multiplier symbol.
• 10x multiplier symbol.
• 4x multiplier symbol.
• 2x multiplier symbol.   

• Claw Spins: Claw picking up a bonus symbol without dropping it will award 3 claw spins. Additional bonus spins picked up during Claw Spins award three extra bonus spins each. Only symbols with multipliers greater than 2 will appear in Claw Spins.      

• Bonus Buys: This is a manually triggered feature where players can purchase the Claw Spins, Clawier Spins, or Clawiest Spins. Claw Spins cost 35x the bet and award 3 Claw Spins with 1 Claw. Clawier Spins cost 150x the bet and award 3 Claw Spins with 3 Claws. Clawiest Spins cost 400x the bet and award 3 Claw Spins with 5 Claws.

• NoLimit Booster: This alternative mode enables players to purchase bonus rounds. The Safe Claw Mode costs 1.6x the bet, and it allows the Claw to pick one undroppable symbol. The Three Claws, One Spin symbol costs 4x the bet and guarantees three claws per spin. The Five Claws, One Spin, cost 10x the bet and guarantees 5 claws per spin. The xBet cost 6x the bet and guarantees a bonus symbol on conveyor belt.

• God Mode: For 997x the bet, the player is guaranteed a max win symbol on the conveyor belt.

The Outsourced: Payday slot is a fascinating reel-spinning machine with a refreshingly unique ‘claw payday’ mechanic. The game is thus perfect for players who love trying out refreshingly new games that are also highly paying, as demonstrated by the RTP rising to 96.04% and a max win pegged at 10,000x the bet.
