Scatter Wins

Payments are awarded when 8 or more symbols of the same type land on a reel area. Winning symbols are removed and trigger a drop on the reel, allowing new symbols to land.

A x2 multiplier is added to each position where a symbol was removed. If a position multiplier already existed there and that position wins on the next drop, its multiplier value is doubled.

The multiplier on a winning position can be as high as x8192.

xWays® and Infectious xWays®

xWays® symbols transform into a regular paying symbol and increase the position multiplier by 2x, 4x or 8x.

Infectious xWays®: When an xWays® symbol is revealed, it will infect all other similar symbols on the reel to expand to the same size.

If more than one xWays® or Infectious xWays® symbol lands, all of these symbols will transform into the same symbol.

Game xMechanics

Infectious xWays®

Infectious xWays is the most misunderstood xSeries game, with many players confused about how the mechanic works. Often, players find the concept of Infectious xWays confusing. However, the mechanic has now appeared in East Coast vs West Coast and Infectious 5, where it was the only mechanic available, supported only by the original xWays.

Despite its apparent complexity, Infectious xWays is actually very simple to understand – any xWays symbols that appear will reveal the same symbol, and if the symbol shown is already visible on the reels, everyone in view will be “infected” and expand as if they were xWays, creating additional ways to win.

When paired with win multipliers or linked reels in East Coast vs West Coast, this mechanic can play a major role in landing life-changing wins.

xBet®

For an extra fee per spin, the player gets an increased chance to enter bonus modes. How this happens varies from game to game. The payout for each symbol is not affected.

xWays®

xWays® offers players unprecedented winning potential. Typically in a fixed Ways game, any xWays symbols that land will open up a stack of the same symbols, increasing the number of winning paths available, and when combined with some of the other mechanics available in the series, such as xNudge or xSplit, can pave the way for some huge wins.

xWays® first appeared in Pixies Vs Pirates, although many players will likely recognize the mechanic from Punk Rocker, an early 2020 release. Along with these two releases, xWays has appeared in a variety of other NolimitCity games, including Dragon Tribe, East Coast vs West Coast, and San Quentin, an early 2021 release that shocked the community with news of a 150,000x max win.
