The First Cluster Slot from Nolimit City Out Now – The Border

There is little that Nolimit City hasn’t tried with their slots, but the cluster-type slots is something they haven’t done until now. The freshly released The Border does just that, featuring another taboo theme of trigger-happy patrol agents and cash-fuelled cartel kingpins. This slot also has the most x-Mechanics featured on a Nolimit game to date by bringing xSplit, xBomb, xBet, xWays, xNudge and the new xCluster all under one roof. Fuelled by maximum volatility, this vice-themed slot can shoot out winnings of up to 44,288x bet. The game is out at Nolimit casinos from today, September 13^th, 2022. Let's have a quick look at all it has to offer.

In contrast to all other Nolimit City slots, after a winning cluster, which is achieved with 5 or more matching symbols that are touching vertically and/or horizontally, the symbols get destroyed, allowing new ones to drop in. The paytable even indicates that it’s possible to win up to 2214.40x with a cluster of 160 symbols alone! And then come the many x-citing features that boost payouts even further.

• xWays – xWays symbols will transform into a regular paying symbol of size 2 or 4. If there is more than one xWays symbol on any reel, then all xWays symbols will reveal the same symbol.
• xSplit – xSplits symbols can only land on reels 2—6, and they will split all symbols to the left, including Scatters, and double the symbol size, while also converting into a Wild. If there is more than one xSplit symbol on the same row, then the split symbols will get a multiplier that can go up to x64.
• xNudge Cluster Wild – xNudge Cluster Wild is a Wild symbol that can nudge both up and down if it’s a part of a winning cluster and increments the win multiplier by +1 for each symbol it nudges over. The nudge continues until no further symbols are part of a winning Cluster. If the xNudge Cluster Wild has been split, it will start by adding its multiplier to the overall win multiplier.
• xBomb Wild – An exploding xBomb Wild removes adjacent symbols except for Scatter and xNudge symbols, increasing the win multiplier by one for the next collapse. If it gets split, it will increase the win multiplier for the next collapse with the amount it has been split into.
• Mule Spins – 6 Scatters will trigger 10 Mule Spins. When xWays is part of Cluster wins, Cluster symbols on the same reel would be infected before the xSplit and xNudge get into action. xWays revealing 2 or 4 symbols would infect them to split into 2 or 4 symbols, respectively. Landing additional Scatter symbols in Mule Spins will upgrade the bonus mode to Coyote Spins, awarding 2 extra spins per Scatter.
• Coyote Spins – 7 or more Scatters trigger the Coyote Spins. 7 Scatter symbols award 12 spins, and any additional Scatter symbols award 2 extra spins per symbol. xWays symbols will infect Cluster symbols, but unlike Mule Spins, all the cluster symbols will get infected. All xBombs will add +1 symbol value on all symbols with a multiplier indicator that is not reset.
• xCluster - 2 or more unique symbol clusters in the same avalanche would trigger xCluster - increasing the win multiplier by +1 for each unique symbol cluster from the second cluster onwards. The xCluster multiplier is instantly added and affects all current wins of that spin.

In addition to that, there are two ways to enhance the game with special bets​:

• Boosted xRip – At the cost of an extra 50%, the player is guaranteed a Scatter symbol on reel 1. When Boosted xRip is activated, there is no payout for the winnings below the base bet. The payout for each symbol is not affected. The RTP in this mode is 96.20%.
• Feature Buy Functionality – Buy your way straight into one of the different bonus features, ranging from 98x to 914x the base bet. The RTP for the two bonus buys is 96.32% and 96.03%, respectively. For reference, The Border is available with a triple RTP setup at 96.17%, 94.07% and 92.15%.

Finally, here's what Emil Svärd, Product Owner & Co-Founder of Nolimit City, had to say about this exciting release: “The Border portrays the ruthless divide between two worlds. We’ve truly gone all-out with this slot, being our first cluster game. Our xMechanics will be popping off all over the place - keeping players engaged. Pepper-in some fantastic artwork, an eerie soundtrack, and of course some crazy volatility - and you’ve got yourself a seriously bad-ass slot in The Border.”
