Infections 5 Xways Slot Review
Have you ever wished for something to happen, then knocked on wood so that you wouldn't jinx your luck? Ever stopped to think about why you do that? The most common explanation is that the superstition comes from the pagan belief (of course it comes from hippies) that spirits lived in trees, people would knock on wood to beseech friendly spirits for help or to thank them for assistance. Superstitions, they’re weird. I wouldn’t say that I am superstitious but I like symmetry, I definitely wouldn’t walk under a ladder and my lucky number is 26. If you’re into lucky numbers and have a hunch that superstitions might be all they’re cracked up to be, put them to the test in Infections 5 Xways, the newest slot by Nolimit City.
Game Play
Infectious 5 xWays is a 5-reel slot with an initial 4 rows, allowing for default of 1,024 paylines. However, the number of rows can be increased through the titular xWays feature. When landed, xWays symbols will transform into 2-3 paying symbols of the same type, expanding the number of rows on the reel in the process. As such, rows can have a theoretical maximum of 8 rows, allowing for up to 110,592 paylines.
Speaking of paylines, these are formed by landing 3 or more matching symbols on adjacent reels, starting from reel 1 and moving from left to right. Making these paylines is a selection of 10 paying symbols. These are divided into the 5 high-paying superhero characters, Mind Flayer, Torch, Misery, Toxicity and Havoc, and the low-paying A, K, Q, J and 10 card royals.
The green "W" is the wild, able to substitute for all symbols except xWays and the scatters. Landing an xWays symbol together with a wild triggers the Infectious xWays feature. This has the revealed xWays symbol "infect" all symbols of the same type on the reels, causing them to expand to the same size. As for the scatters, these are the toxic chemical canisters.
Land 3 or more of these to activate the Infectious Spins, where you choose between either the Toxic Hazard or Lock n' Load modes. Land 5 scatters for Mayhem Mode, with a choice of upgraded versions of the two Infectious Spins modes.

Conclusion
Nolimit City has a unique talent of continuing with tried and tested techniques, whilst still releasing them in a way that seems as though we’ve never seen them before. Couple this with immaculate audio visuals and you get yet another masterpiece. An added quirk is the continued use of the number 5, with a 55,555x maximum win, and a 555x feature buy (we really hope your lucky number is 5!). It looks like the 5 really is infectious after all. Alongside this, the characters incredibly well designed, and could probably be in their own comic book! All in All, we can’t fault this game and really think you should take it for a spin!
