Those who venture into The Border will be faced with an absolute barrage of features that are something of a ‘best of’ selection from the Nolimit City back catalogue. Splits, Ways and Bombs all feature, alongside xNudges and Free Spins.
Here is the run down …
Avalanche Wins
First up, this is an Avalanche Wins game. That means, after any win, the winning symbols are removed from the grid and new ones drop in to replace them. If more wins occur, so the process repeats, until no more new clusters form. This feature becomes highly lucrative when combined with splits, bombs and multipliers!
xWays Symbols
Like Mystery Symbols these transform into instances of the same pay symbol. xWays may land as 2 full symbols or 4 split symbols. If more than one xWays lands on the same spin then every instance of it will transform into the SAME symbol. If you’ve played games like Bushido xWays then you’ll be familiar with this one.
xSplits Symbols
These land on reels 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 and turn ALL symbols to the left into split symbols. xSplits also convert into Wilds at the same time. Effectively you are expanding the reels and rows this way to create the chance to build bigger clusters and drive bigger payouts.
But that is not all, because where more than one xSplit lands on the same row, the splits get a multiplier of up to 64x applied to it. The value of the multiplier is based on the number of split symbols on the reels.
xNudge Cluster Wilds
Just like xNudge Wilds in games like Bushido Ways xNudge, where Wilds land as part of clusters, then the cluster will nudge up or down at the end of the spin. Every symbol it nudges over adds 1x to a multiplier to be applied to the win.
NOTE: If the cluster nudges over an existing multiplier, that value is also added to the wilds own multiplier.
AND … if the wild is split by an xSplit so the values of the multiplier values are carried over to each new wild.
xBomb Wilds
These explode when they land, removing all symbols in adjacent positions EXCEPT xNudges and scatters. Know Fire in the Hole? Then you’ll know how fun these symbols can be.
And … xBomb WIlds trigger a 1x increase in the win multiplier for that spin. If the xBomb is split, then the multiplier goes up by the number of symbols the bomb splits into.
xClusters
These are only valid for FREE SPINS and occur when 2 or more Clusters are created on one spin. The win multiplier for the following avalanche now increases by 1x for each cluster. For example, two clusters would get you a 2x multiplier.
Free Spins Round
There are TWO free spins formats in The Border and they work as follows:
Mule Spins
You need 6 scatters to trigger 10 Mule Spins with some enhancements. Now, where an xWays symbol is part of a cluster win, it infects other symbols in the cluster that are on the SAME REEL before xSplit or xNudge activate. Essentially this brings up more splitting symbols and more win ways.
Coyote Spins
You need 7 scatters to trigger 12 Coyote Spins with even more enhancements. First though, you also get 2 more free spins for every extra scatter in view.
Now …. where an xWays symbol is part of a cluster win, it infects EVERY OTHER symbol in the cluster regardless of which reel it is on, before xSplit or xNudge activate. This creates more win ways than the same event in Mule Spins.
And … xBomb multiplier values are carried over onto all other symbols that display an xMultiplier that haven’t exploded. And … the total win multiplier is progressive and DOES NOT re-set between spins.
