Stockholm Syndrome Slot Overview
Stockholm Syndrome is a casino slot from Nolimit City. It invites the player to relive the drama from the bank robbery that created the psychological phenomenon known as Stockholm syndrome. Stockholm syndrome means that hostages develop feelings of trust, affection, or even empathy towards their captors. This counterintuitive reaction occurs as a survival strategy during captivity or threatening situations. The term originated from a 1973 bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweden, where hostages bonded with their captors and even defended them after being released.
Several factors contribute to Stockholm Syndrome, including the perception of small acts of kindness from the captor as significant, isolation from the outside world, and a power imbalance that causes victims to adopt the captor’s perspective. This complex emotional response can occur in various situations, such as abusive relationships, kidnappings, and cults.
The bank robbery started with an armed robber walking into a bank in central Stockholm and taking bank workers as hostages. He also demanded that the infamous Swedish criminal Clark Olofsson, who was in prison then, be escorted to the bank. The Swedish police brought Olofsson to the bank, and the robbery lasted for 6 days before the robbers gave up. There have been insinuations that a woman in the hostage had a romance with Clark Olofsson, but she has denied it.
This game takes you back to the 70s when police surrounded the bank. There’s a con man symbol who looks a lot like Clark Olofsson. He can expand over an entire reel in the Piss Feature. There are also two different Free Spins features in the Hostage Spins and Syndrome Spins. Let’s see what else happens around this bank.

Stockholm Syndrome Slot Information
Stockholm Syndrome is set against the backdrop of a grand bank building, exuding a sense of intrigue and drama. The scene is captured from an overhead view, revealing a bustling square filled with vintage Volvo police cars, reminiscent of 1970s Sweden. Armed policemen stand alert on either side of the reels, pointing their guns towards the bank. The square teems with officers, showcasing an organized police operation. The bank's imposing architecture and the classic cars evoke a nostalgic atmosphere, immersing players in a thrilling heist scenario. To make a win, the player needs to land 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting on the first reel to the left. The game is available on mobile phones, notepads, and desktop computers.
The lower-paying symbols in Stockholm Syndrome are the five letters for police in Swedish: P.O.L.I.S. However, you can also trigger the Polis Feature by landing them in that order on the reels. The higher-paying symbols are three female and one male hostage plus a robber. The Wild Symbol is portrayed by a guy looking like Clark Olofsson.Â

Cascades
Whenever you make a win, the winning symbols are removed from the reels, and new ones are added. If you can make a new win when the grid is refilled, those symbols will also vanish and make room for new ones.
Con Man Wild
The Con Man Wild feature activates when the Con Man Wild lands fully on reel 3. Once triggered, the bottom position on reel 3 unlocks and becomes part of the Con Man Wild. A random character symbol (except the highest paying one) will be selected, and all of its instances will transform into Wilds.
When the Con Man Wild lands partially from the top in the main game, it won't be removed by winning combinations.
xBomb Wild
The xBomb Wild symbol substitutes for any symbol except Scatter symbols. In the main game, an exploding xBomb Wild removes adjacent symbols, except for Scatter and Wild symbols, and increases the win multiplier by one for the next collapse. All xBombs will explode before the next collapse.
In the bonus games, the xBomb Wild will only increase the win multiplier.
Polis Feature
The Polis Feature is triggered in the main game when the P.O.L.I.S Symbols land sequentially in the same row. The first four positions will lock in coin values with random multipliers of 5X, 10X, 25X, 100X, 250X, 1,000X, 5,000X, or a Max Win symbol. The 5th position can get up to 3 keys, with each key opening one of the locked coin values or the Max Win. All the unlocked coin values will be added and multiplied by the base bet for the win. Any active xBomb multiplier will apply to these winnings.
SOS Feature
The SOS Feature triggers when S.O.S Symbols land sequentially in the same row. The 'O' symbol will transform into an xBomb Wild.
In the main game, the SOS Feature only triggers if there is no win and no avalanche. The feature always triggers in the bonus games.

Piss Feature
The Piss Feature is activated when P.I.S.S Scatter Symbols land sequentially in the same reel. All of these symbols will transform into xBomb Wilds.
In the main game, the Piss Feature only triggers if there is no win and no avalanche. It always triggers in the bonus games.
Respin
Landing 2 Scatters with no avalanche will trigger a respin on the bottom position of reel 3, where a third Scatter might land.
Hostage Spins
Landing 3 Scatter Symbols in the base game will trigger 7 Hostage Spins. The bottom position on reel 3 gets unlocked. Every time a full Con Man Wild lands, it will increase the Con Man Wild win multiplier by +1 and choose a character symbol in a predetermined order, upgrading it to the highest paying character symbol for the remaining spins.
The first time the Con Man Wild lands, the lowest-paying character symbol is chosen. The second time, the second lowest character symbol is chosen, and so on. Landing a full Con Man Wild will award +1 spin.
The xBomb multiplier will be sticky throughout the Hostage Spins. A Scatter symbol awards +1 extra spin during the Hostage Spins.
Syndrome Spins
Landing 4 Scatter Symbols in the base game will trigger 8 Syndrome Spins. You get an extra reel for this feature, and the reel setup during this mode is 3-4-4-4-4-3. Con Man Wilds can land on reels 3 and 4. When a part of the Wild lands on the reels, it will nudge up or down until it is fully visible on the entire reel.
Character symbols are collected from the 4 middle reels only when Con Man Wild lands. If there are 2 Con Man Wilds, character symbols will be collected twice. The collect meter can go beyond 5. When all collect meters are full, the Syndrome feature is triggered, making the middle reels special as follows:
Reel 3 Wild: Reel 3 will be covered by a Wild symbol with a win multiplier depending on the collected symbol displayed below reel 3. The starting multiplier will be 2X, which will increase by +1 for each extra collected symbol beyond 5.
Reel 4 Infectious xWays: A new position opens up and reveals a random symbol of size 2, affecting all occurrences of that symbol on the reels to become the same size. The collected symbol below reel 4 will increase the xWays size by +1 for each extra collected symbol beyond 5.
Reel 2 & 5 xReelSplit: Each symbol on the reel will be split into 2. The collected symbol below reels 2 and 5 will increase the split size by +1 for each extra collected symbol beyond 5 for their respective reels.
Landing a full Con Man Wild will award +1 spin. A Scatter symbol awards +1 extra spin during Syndrome Spins. The xBomb multiplier will be sticky throughout the Syndrome Spins.
Feature Buy
You can jump straight into the Polis Feature action with one spin, and no avalanche is awarded. For between 150X and 8,000X the bet, you can get between 1 and 5 Polis Features with different starting conditions.
You can also purchase the Hostage Spins for 80X the bet of the Syndrome Spins for 390X the bet.
Nolimit Booster
For a cost of 1.5X the bet, the player is guaranteed a Scatter Symbol on reel 5. For a cost of 10X the base bet, the player is guaranteed to land a Con Man Wild on the top position of reel 3.

Hit the Road
The max payout of the game is 28,873X the bet. When the total win exceeds this amount, the game round will end, and it’s time for the player to hit the road with all the cash.
Stockholm Syndrome Slot Conclusion
Stockholm Syndrome is a game that pulls you into the surreal world of robbers and their loyal hostages, where everyone is basically a part of one big, happy, dysfunctional family. Who knew that a high-stakes bank robbery could translate into an innovative casino slot over 50 years later?
In this thrilling game, you’re not just spinning reels; you’re diving headfirst into the chaos of a 1970s heist. You get to meet a con man that suspiciously resembles a certain Clark Olofsson, who struts his stuff in the Piss Feature, expanding across the reels like he owns the place. It's a game that reminds you that, sometimes, crime does pay, especially when the max payout is a whopping 28,873X your bet. A curious fact is that Clark Olofsson was declared innocent in court because he was brought to the bank by demand from the other robber. Another interesting fact is that some money disappeared from the bank without ever being found again.
The features are as wild as the story itself, from Cascades that collapse faster than a bank robber’s getaway plan to Syndrome Spins that offer more twists than a detective novel. Plus, with the Nolimit Booster, you can pay a little extra for guaranteed symbols, like ordering a side of adrenaline with your chaos.
The one thing you can be sure about when it comes to Nolimit City is that you can’t be sure about anything. Previous games such as Beheaded and Bricksnake 2000 are just a couple of examples of the innovative creators working at this game developer.
Stockholm Syndrome by Nolimit City combines heart-pounding drama with the bizarre affection of hostages cheering on their captors.
