xWays Hoarder xSplit Slot Review

xWays Hoarder xSplit Slot Information

xWays Hoarder xSplit is a Nolimit City video slot with 5 reels and 3 rows that can expand thanks to the xWays and xSplit mechanics. You start with 243 ways to win, but the ways can shoot up to 259,920 when things line up. Bets run from 0.20 up to 100 per spin, so I can treat it as a serious high stake grind or a lower stake bonus hunt.

The default RTP sits at 96.14 percent, though some operators use a 94.10 percent setting, so I always check the info panel first. Hit frequency hovers around one win in five spins, with the bonus on average every 307 spins. Volatility is off the scale, rated 10 out of 10, and the slot can pay up to 11,030 times your bet with the King of Waste maximum win feature.

xWays Hoarder xSplit Symbols and Paytable

In xWays Hoarder xSplit the paytable sets the tone straight away. The lower paying symbols are all fallout treasures such as toilet roll, a petrol can, a bottle of moonshine, a med kit and a Geiger counter. These only pay up to around 0.25 times stake for five of a kind, so in practice I treat them as fillers that become interesting mainly when multiplied by xWays or shredded by xSplit Wilds.

Premium symbols in xWays Hoarder xSplit are the hoarders themselves. Karen, Moonshine Michael, Gordon Geiger, Dr Dwayne and Terry Trash top the paytable with prizes from 0.30 to 1 times stake for five. Scatters come as radioactive warning signs that can be upgraded to gas masked Super Scatters. There are also radioactive xWays symbols and razor blade xSplit Wilds, both limited to specific reels and carrying their own mechanics.

xWays Hoarder xSplit Slot Features

xWays Hoarder xSplit leans heavily on the two branded mechanics. xWays symbols can only land on reels two, three and four, and each carries a count from two to four. When the spin ends, every xWays expands to show that many matching symbols, and if more than one xWays lands they all reveal the same symbol. This alone can explode the number of win ways compared to the starting 243 patterns.

In the base game of xWays Hoarder xSplit the action ramps up when xSplit Wilds hit on reels three, four or five. Each razor blade slices horizontally to the left, splitting every symbol in that row into two. If more than one xSplit lands on the same row the count doubles again, so you can see symbol stacks marked x2 or x3. After the cut, xSplit symbols turn into standard wilds that help to complete wins.

xWays Hoarder xSplit really comes alive when xWays and xSplit interact. If an xSplit slices through an xWays symbol, the xWays count doubles for every hit, so a x4 can become far more powerful. In Bunker Raid Spins, xWays that land turn sticky, drop to the lowest available position on their reel and are collected in a Hoarder meter. Every third sticky xWays improves the level and strips low symbols from the reels.

xSplit Wilds in xWays Hoarder xSplit

In xWays Hoarder xSplit the razor shaped xSplit Wilds feel like controlled chaos. They only appear in the base game on the last three reels, with a single blade on reel three, a double stack on reel four and a triple stack on reel five. When they land, they slice across all positions to the left on their row, doubling symbol counts and often sending the active win ways into five figure territory even before any bonus round hits.

Bunker Raid Spins in xWays Hoarder xSplit

The main feature in xWays Hoarder xSplit is the Bunker Raid Spins bonus. Three or four scatters on reels two to five award seven or ten free spins. If a scatter is crossed by an xSplit, it upgrades to a Super Scatter, and when the bonus starts those Super Scatters and any symbols beneath them convert into locked xWays stacks. Any further xWays that appear during the bonus stick and award one extra spin.

Sticky xWays symbols in xWays Hoarder xSplit always drop as low as they can on their reel, merging with existing stacks and feeding the Hoarder Level system. Every three sticky xWays you collect bumps the level and removes one hoarder and their matching low object. Reaching the third level shifts you into Wasteland Free Spins where only four high symbols remain, and a huge merged xWays block covers the three middle reels on every spin.

Feature Buy in xWays Hoarder xSplit

In xWays Hoarder xSplit you can skip the grind with the Feature Buy, though it is blocked in the UK so I only use it abroad. Seven Bunker Raid Spins with a standard three scatter entry costs 95 times stake, while ten free spins with four scatters costs 180 times. The Super Scatter version with three upgraded scatters costs 777 times stake, and there is also a random option for 218 times.

xWays Hoarder xSplit Slot Conclusion

xWays Hoarder xSplit feels like classic Nolimit City mischief, mixing a grubby post nuclear bunker setting with a clever mechanical puzzle. On the surface I am hoarding toilet rolls, fuel and moonshine, yet in practice I am chasing merged xWays stacks on the three central reels and praying for Wasteland Free Spins. The potty humour and over the top animations keep the grind bearable during those long dry stretches between big hits.

Sessions on xWays Hoarder xSplit can swing like mad. In my own long test runs I have seen the bonus drop twice in several hundred spins, with one round paying a few times stake and another blasting out a couple of hundred times. The base game can feel flat, with plenty of dead spins and lots of small pays, yet a single messy screen full of sliced xWays can wipe out a losing streak.

For me xWays Hoarder xSplit sits just below the studio’s absolute monsters, mainly because the 11,030 times cap feels modest compared to some of their later efforts. Still, this slot is far ahead of most competition in how xWays, xSplit and the Hoarder Levels talk to each other. If you enjoy extreme volatility, edgy themes and games that can feel baffling at first glance, this one deserves time in your rotation.
