After delving into the worlds of nightclub urinals and prisons Nolimit City have now decided to take on the Mexican cartels in this online slot with a cluster gameplay mechanic – its called The Border and if you can scale the wall there are free spins, xBomb Wilds and xNudge Cluster Wilds waiting on the other side.
The Border takes place on a 6 x 6 grid attached to the giant metal doors which separate Mexico from the United States of America; razor wire lines the wall which extends on either side. Your aim here is to create clusters of at least five matching symbols anywhere on the reels – those symbols will then disappear and make room for more to drop in, potentially continuing the process.
The symbols are an interesting bunch and include the cartel boss, the Mexican policeman, the U.S. soldier, two potential refugees, a vulture, a stake and a scorpion. There’s an xNudge cluster wild, an xBomb wild and a dollar sign scatter symbol.
The Border Bonus Features
xWays & xSplits
These will be familiar to players of some of Nolimit City’s previous slots and work like this:
- xWays – any symbol can split into two or four to increase the winning options and make a cluster more likely.
- xSplit – only occurring on reels two to six, all symbols to its left will be split in two and the xSplit will turn wild.
Wild Features
- xNudge Cluster Wild – if this is part of a winning cluster it will nudge up or down in that cluster until the cluster ends; each nudge adds 1x to the multiplier value.
- xBomb Wild – this will remove all adjacent symbols except wilds and scatters and increaser the win multiplier by 1x for the next collapse/cluster.
Free Spins
Landing six or (at least) seven of the dollar scatter symbols anywhere in view will award the Mule or Coyote free spins rounds respectively:
Mule Spins – awards 10 free spins in which xWays splits will infect all symbols in that cluster on the same reel. The round can be upgraded to Coyote spins by landing more scatters.
Coyote Spins – awards 12 free spins plus 2 more for each additional scatter above seven; xWays will infect all symbols in the same cluster and any multiplier values gained will not be reset during this round.
Verdict
| Nolimit City have attacked the theme of illegal border crossings with their usual alacrity and The Border is the usual exciting stuff from this company; the various ‘X’ features keep things ticking along nicely and if you finally make it over that wall to the land of the free then the bonus spins are where the big wins are waiting. | |
