The Border is an online slot game from NoLimit City with a 6x6 grid that can be modified by 5 different xMechanics. The game offers a Mule Spins and Coyote Spins bonus round. It is Nolimit City's first cluster-based slot, where landing five or more matching symbols in a group results in a winning combination. The more symbols in the cluster, the larger the prize. When a win occurs, the winning symbols disappear, and new symbols fall into those spaces, potentially creating more wins.
The Border has 8 symbols that form clusters, ranging from low-value scorpions and snakes to high-value character symbols. A baseline 5-of-a-kind cluster pays 0.2 to 1 times the bet, while the most valuable 160+ sized clusters pay a significant multiple of the stake. The 6x6 grid allows for the possibility of these large clusters.
The game includes xWays symbols that transform into 2 or 4 instances of a regular pay symbol. If multiple xWays symbols land, they all transform into the same pay symbol. The xWays symbols can appear as two full-size or four half-size symbols, helping to connect more adjacent symbols.
The reels 2 to 6 can split all symbols to the left, doubling them, including scatters, and converting them into wilds. If multiple split symbols land on the same row, they can have a multiplier value of up to 64, based on the symbol count. The xNudge Cluster Wilds can move up and down if part of a winning cluster, increasing the win multiplier by 1 for each symbol they nudge over. If the symbol has a multiplier, the win multiplier increases by that value. When a xNudge Cluster Wild is split by an xSplit, it starts by adding its multiplier to the win multiplier.
Hitting 6 scatter symbols triggers 10 Mule Spins. When xWays is part of a winning cluster, the cluster symbols on the same reel are infected before the xSplit or xNudge activate. xWays reveals 2 or 4 symbols, splitting other symbols into 2 or 4 symbols, respectively. Hitting additional scatter symbols upgrades the feature to Coyote Spins, awarding 2 extra spins per scatter. Landing 7 scatter symbols triggers 12 Coyote Spins, plus 2 extra spins for each additional scatter in view.
When all cluster symbols are infected, the time value is affected. Additionally, xBombs contribute their multiplier to any unexploded symbols displaying an xMultiplier. xBombs without a multiplier add +1. The win multiplier remains consistent during Coyote Spins, without resetting between spins. If you like unique slots or cluster mechanics then give this feature loaded slot a try at Spin Genie today.
