Signature Gameplay Mechanics
xWays Hoarder 2 spots the unique xMechanics, a signature feature of NoLimit City games like San Quentin 2. Each mechanic upgrades gameplay in different ways:
- xWays: This symbol lands on the 2nd to 5th reel and reveals a regular standard symbol that is shown on any other xWays icon in view. xWays can expand to 2-4 tiles, while two xWays on the same reel can go up to 8 tiles. Connected xWays expand the widest to 4-12 tiles.
- xSplit Wilds: These wilds land anywhere except the 1st reel and split all the characters to their left on the row, doubling them and significantly increasing the potential for winning combinations.
- xSplit Nudge: These symbols appear anywhere stacked except the 1st reel. The stacked symbol nudges other icons out of the grid and only stops at special characters. Each nudged tile then splits the symbols to its left, doubling them.
Exciting Bonus Features
xWays Hoarders 2 adds more to the gameplay beyond xMechanics to deliver its dark and intimidating thrills. Loot Respins seal the slot as a NoLimit City creation through and through. They trigger when special symbols come into view, and a Loot icon expands on the 1st reel and locks it. Special symbols that land on the reel are locked, and the feature continues until no new ones appear.
The game also features Raid Spins, which activate when three to five scatters appear, during which all xMechanics become sticky. Super scatters, which are split scatters, transform all the symbols beneath them into xSplit symbols.
The Same Thrilling Math Model
The art style for xWays Hoarders 2 has changed from its predecessor’s, but the math model remains the same as before. Volatility gets the same 10/10 rating, described as ‘Extreme’. The adjustable RTP rate is also retained with 96.14% as the highest configuration. The game wagers can be set between $0.20 and $100, activating 729 ways to win. From top to bottom, xWays Hoarders embodies the exciting off-the-rails craftsmanship of NoLimit City.
