We knew Mental, the new slot by Nolimit City, was going to be the centre of some impressive wins, but we didn’t know it would happen that fast!

Two hours into its release, in fact, someone with a big bag of luck, somewhere in Asia, managed to achieve many of the necessary elements to unlock Mental’s winning potential. 

What’s Mental?

Nolimit City has recently released a new slot with a unique theme, after a year of continuous successes with titles such as San Quentin xWays, xWays Hoarder xSplit and Fire in the Hole xBomb.

The slot has been the centre of a lot of anticipation and discussion, especially because of its particular theme and innovative mechanics. Mental offers a 32323 reel-set area with over 1024 ways to win, which then increases with the xWays technology. Check out the scorpions and spiders, which will activate a Lobotomy Freespin, awarding a Mental Transform for each spin.

Chances of winning are increased whenever 4 or 6 fire frames come up, so collect 3 scorpion symbols to enter the bonus mode with sticky Fire Frames which can then be upgraded to Lobotomy or Mental Freespins – if all these features are combined, you can unleash the 66,666x bet win potential.

As for the theme, the game is set within a mental institution that hosts some very disturbed patients and other unsettling images, such as creepy bugs and body parts. All of it, accompanied by a sepia theme and appropriate background music.

Per Lindheimer, Product Owner at Nolimit City said: “This is a title that’s been discussed quite a lot internally, it’s darker than our usual subject matter and far grittier than anything we’ve ever come up with. We wanted complex mechanics, mind-numbing potential, and truly worthy of the name Mental.”

The Big Win

Would you like to know exactly what happened? Well, we have found the clip, but bear in mind that the slot is incredibly complex, so you might not be able to follow all the steps that led to the win. To simplify things for those of you who aren’t familiar with Mental, yet, we bring to you our own commentary, describing what exactly happened. 

The lucky player in the clip buys Mental Free Spins, spending 1000x the base bet, and obtains three scorpions and three spider symbols, which grant him 11 Mental Free Spins – the best bonus round achievable among the three that exist in the slot. 

It is then on Spin number eight that the big win finally kicks in. The locked spider symbols that the spin started with changed into premium patient symbols. Then, two of the latter benefit from the Dead Patient Feature, which multiplies the presence of the symbol on the reels. On reels two and four, the Enhancer Cells become wilds or premiums, and one symbol on each of the five reels is sliced. 

Easy, right? 

With the previous seven spins and what just happened in the eight, the total for the player becomes $13,333.20, or 66,666 times the base bet. 

Finally, as Hannibal Lecter has his hands sawn off, the count upstarts. 

Obviously, this is a complicated, mysterious and enjoyable slot, which with its dark themes surely separates itself from the rest of the market. Furthermore, by proving its Big Win potential only a few hours after its official release, it definitely deserves its title and popularity.
