The Booster menu includes options designed to alter the starting conditions of a session. Players can guarantee scatter symbols, increase starting multipliers across the entire grid or activate enhanced bonus-hunting conditions. The strategic read is that Nolimit City is packaging multiple entry points into the same high-volatility engine. That gives players, and by extension operators, a variety of ways to engage a single title.

The studio has also carried its side-bet layer into the sequel. The slot also introduces a Side Hustles system, which functions as an optional stake increase tied to specific outcomes. Taken together, the expanded upgrades, buy options, and side bets suggest Nolimit City is refining a repeatable framework across sequels rather than reinventing its approach each release.

For players familiar with the first Duck Hunters, the takeaway is continuity with a raised ceiling. For those tracking Nolimit City’s portfolio, the sequel is evidence of a studio comfortable returning to proven mechanical families and layering additional monetization and volatility on top. That pattern fits the broader direction of a slots market increasingly built around recognizable, iterated math models rather than one-off novelties.

About 18 months ago I wrote this weird, esoteric, wacky article. I made the case that once U.S. dollar interest rates went negative, all commodities would warp into backwardation. Meaning, the spot prices for all commodities would become more expensive than their futures price. This is now happening. Almost all commodities are now in persistent backwardation. All grains, sugar, lumber, and cotton; energy including natural gas and both Brent and WTI crude oil; base metals including copper, tin, and iron ore. They are all in backwardation now, and some have been that way for months now. The CRB commodities index is now climbing at its fastest pace ever, doubling since March.

And this is with various forms of lockdowns persisting in Europe and the U.S., which should mute industrial demand for commodities. Paper currencies are dying. That’s what’s happening, pure and simple. And they are about to get their death blow.

What death blow exactly? Short term nominal U.S. dollar interest rates will be negative within precisely 4 weeks.This is because Janet Yellen, now Secretary of the Debt, has now begun the process of dumping $929 billion directly into the U.S. banking system by the end of March. This is in addition to the $1.9 trillion “stimulus” bill and $1,400 checks to every American about to get through in a matter of weeks.

Papanier said the components of Bally’s Chicago that are being “reset and re-contemplated” are “all in conjunction with the proliferation of VGTs”. While the current number of licences is low, he asserted that widespread proliferation could result in a “30% to 50% impact on top-line revenue” for the casino and it would be “irresponsible” to continue construction “until we understand what the landscape looks like”.

Bally’s stock jumped 7% in trading on Monday to $9.84. Shares had fallen 30% in the last month in response to uncertainty in Chicago and warnings about the company’s ability to continue as a growing concern in its Q2 earnings report. Former CFO Mira Mircheva resigned on 4 September, prompting Papanier to take over the role on an interim basis.

The VGT dispute and construction reset are the latest chapters in a long and bumpy road for Bally’s since winning Chicago’s sole casino licence in 2022. Work has been halted for debris overflow and for unapproved contractors, and the company faced an $800 million funding gap that was eventually filled through a financing agreement with Gaming and Leisure Properties. Potential interference with city water lines also necessitated a significant redesign of the hotel plan.
