Das xBoot

Up to 75,712 Ways to Win

Das xBoot has an asymmetrical reel structure similar to Deadwood. It has 6 reels with 2-3-4-4-3-2 symbols to begin with. That’s 576 ways to win by default, which can increase all the way up to 75,712 with xWays.

xWays Symbol

The xWays mechanic is a signature feature of Nolimit that started 2021 with a bang following the release of San Quentin.

It appears among 10 other regular and stackable symbols, but only on reels 2 and 5. Each time you catch the xWays symbol, it will reveal a random regular symbol of 2 to 3 symbols high. Each regular symbol can pay up to 20x bet or more with the help of the xNudge Wild.

xNudge Wild

Just like in Deadwood, the xNudge Wild symbol in Das xBoot is a 4-high Wild symbol that always nudges to full reel. Each nudge that will take it to cover the entire reel will increase the win multiplier by +1. But unlike Deadwood, in this submarine-themed slot, it can land only on reels 3 and 4. That is in the base game at least.

xBomb Wild Multiplier

Another way of getting some more juice from this marine slot is with the xBomb feature, which was first introduced in the Fire in the Hole slot. When the xBomb Wild appears, it explodes all symbols that are not part of a winning combo, except for the Bonus and other wild symbols. Each explosion also increases the win multiplier by +1.

Should you also get 3 or 4 Bonus symbols, the multiplier will be carried forward to one of the two free spin bonuses with 8 initial rounds each to start with.

Silent Hunter Spins Bonus

Enter Das xBoot’s most frequent bonus feature – Silent Hunter Free Spins.

For 3 Bonus symbols, you’ll get 8 spins and some special features to boot. Watch as reel 3 converts into a periscope by growing from 4 to 8 symbols high. Another way of looking at it is that the reel setup will turn from a fist look to a middle finger look, with an extra pinkie.

With this new setup, a Periscope Wild symbol will become available, which can activate a torpedo launch. To initiate the sequence, you need matching symbols on reels 1 and 2, with the third reel turning into a hotspot for the special wild. If you manage to catch one, you’ll witness a torpedo launch with the exact percentage of a hit and miss. If you hit a warship, you’ll activate the Periscope Wild, which will nudge from as high as it appeared, increasing the multiplier with each drop like the xNudge Wild. This usually results in an oversized multiplier (see screenshot above) and a frequent big win. Likewise, you’ll get a +1 multiplier for the remainder of the bonus too.

For each Bonus symbol, you’ll also get +2 spins, which also holds true for the more advanced bonus, the Wolf Pack.

Wolf Pack Spins Bonus

Adding a better bonus on top of a regular one is a tradition that Nolimit City slots fans have come to like. Das xBoot is not an exclusion, hence for 4 Bonus symbols, you’ll earn yourself much grosser Wolf Pack Spins with a special torpedo under the reels 2-5.

Each time you land a Torpedo Wild, it will drop either a regular xWays symbol (reels 2 and 5) or an xWays Wild (reels 3 and 4) into the torpedo below. Only once the torpedo gets filled with these xWays symbols will it unleash them all at once. Depending on the xWays number, they will split up into up to 9 symbols each. This extends reels 2—5 and as a result can generate crazy wins that can end the bonus prematurely, at the maximum payout.

This can happen multiple times during the game, increasing the overall win multiplier by +1 along the way. That’s in addition to any xBomb symbols, which also add their own share to the main multiplier and +1 xWays if they happen to drop when the torpedo launch sequence is activated!

Bonus Buy

If you happen to play this game outside the UK then you’ll also have the chance to buy either one of the free spin bonuses for a fixed cost. That’s a 75x bet for the Silent Hunter Spins. Wolf Pack Spins are much rarer so the 350x price tag or at least 87.50 credits will be needed to activate them at your command. Go ahead and try both bonuses in free play to get a sense of their potential.

👍 Tip: The RTP increases from 96.03% to 96.57% in the Silent Hunter Spins and to 96.56% in the Wolf Pack Spins bonus.
