Key Takeaways

  • xWays Hoarders 2 has a 10/10 high volatility rating
  • It features NoLimit City’s xMechanics
  • It has a flexible RTP of up to 96.14%

NoLimit City, a leading online casino game content and services provider, has built a reputation for crafting slots on the bizarre side of the bell curve. The software provider recently added to its collection with the launch of xWays Hoarder 2, which features far from good-mannered action like its prequel, xWays Hoarders xSplit.

xWays Hoarders 2 revels in the muck of a dystopian future from an underground bunker where a pipe labeled ‘Feed Tube’ hints at unknown horrors. The six-reel matrix only moves above ground during free spins, where the future looks as grotesque as before.

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.
