NetEnt has released Nunchucks, a 6×4 online slot built around combat-trained nuns defending their parish from Sinpin and his gang.
The game received exclusive early access on October 22 ahead of its October 29, 2026 release. It uses 4,096 ways to win and carries a maximum payout of 12,000x the bet.
Its storyline follows Sisters Faith, Hope and Love, who were trained by Mother Sofia and return to their old fighting skills when thieves target the church’s communion boxes. The presentation combines religious imagery with cartoon-style action, while the reels feature symbols such as grenades, nunchucks, crosses and collection boxes.
Nunchucks has a default RTP of 96.21%, hit frequency of 28%, with stakes ranging from €0.20 to €40.
Nun Symbols Trigger the Main Mechanics
Special Nun symbols form the core of the game.
When one lands, it activates its corresponding feature and may trigger a respin. Several Nun Features can operate in the same round, allowing their effects to overlap.
Colossal Nun creates a Mystery Symbol covering between 2×2 and 4×4 positions. It becomes a regular paying symbol or a Giant Wild if it overlaps a Wild Reel.
Wild Reel Nun converts an entire reel into Wild symbols.
Multiplier Nun places multipliers on one or more reels. If a winning combination uses several multiplied reels, their values are added together before being applied to the win.
Upgrade Nun improves active features by increasing the size of the Colossal Mystery Symbol, doubling reel multipliers or adding between one and three Wild Reels.
Wilds substitute for normal paying symbols and can overlap Nun symbols without preventing their features from activating.
Respins Connect With Bonus Modes
Nun symbols can also trigger respins.
Any active Nun Features remain in place throughout the respin sequence, while new Nun symbols can add further effects. Play returns to the current game mode once no additional respins are awarded.
Nunchucks also includes Bonus Spins and Super Bonus Spins.
Landing three, four, five or six Bonus symbols awards eight, 10, 12 or 14 spins respectively. If at least one triggering symbol is a Super Bonus symbol, the enhanced mode is awarded instead.
During standard Bonus Spins, Nun Features reset after each spin.
Super Bonus Spins use a more persistent setup. Active Nun Features remain in place until the feature ends, allowing additional Nuns and Upgrade Nuns to build on the existing modifiers.
Elevate Options Offer Direct Feature Access
Five Elevate options are available where permitted, as published on the company’s website.
Bonus Hunt costs 3x the bet and increases the chance of activating special features.
Guaranteed Nun costs 25x and guarantees at least one Nun symbol.
Bonus Spins can be purchased for 100x the bet, while Super Bonus Spins cost 300x.
The Super Nun Spin costs 500x and guarantees at least one Nun symbol while increasing the chance of triggering either bonus mode.
The game’s main appeal comes from the interaction between these mechanics. Colossal symbols, Wild Reels and reel multipliers can combine during respins and become especially significant in Super Bonus Spins, where active features persist throughout the round.
