Overview

xMechanics is the name for Nolimit City’s own in-house game features. They all start with an “x,” like xWays, xNudge and xSplit, and each game mixes several xMechanics to build max wins of tens of thousands of times the bet. The xMechanic logos used in a game appear at the bottom of the Nolimit City game screen.

This page is a bundled entry that gathers 19 xMechanics in one place. The number in parentheses is how many Nolimit City games registered on AI Slot use that mechanic. Click a mechanic chip on the Nolimit City free slots page to view only those games.
