Aztec Ascension

Step into the depths of the ancient Aztec civilization with Aztec Ascension, the latest thrilling gaming adventure from RAW iGaming. This slot game doesn't just offer a glimpse into history; it's a journey filled with enigma, ingenuity, and the potential for boundless wealth. Introducing our innovative Feature Reel Re-spin mechanic alongside our beloved SuperStretchTM feature, Aztec Ascension promises an array of enchanting moments.

Players engage on a 5-reel, 4-row grid initially, but each reel has the capacity to expand up to 8 rows high, ensuring a dynamic and ever-changing gameplay experience. Central to the game's allure are the transformative abilities of the dazzling golden sun and mystical moon symbols. When these symbols appear, they trigger re-spins packed with features that lead to substantial rewards.

Upon landing the golden sun symbol, players are treated to a re-spin where the reel becomes populated with wilds, multiplier wilds, and various wild modifier symbols. As for the mystical moon symbol, its appearance prompts the reel to extend upwards by a random number of symbols, initiating a re-spin in the process. Moreover, the Wild Transformer symbol, when landed in the feature reel, converts a selection of symbols on other reels into wilds, amplifying winning opportunities.

Similarly, the Wild Expanders symbol, upon landing in the feature reel, duplicates itself and introduces one or more expanding wilds to additional reels, further enhancing the excitement and potential for substantial payouts.

Fire in the Hole 2

As we delve deeper, the intensity of our endeavors escalates! Nolimit's beloved dwarf, after years spent delving into the darkest caverns known to dwarf-kind and even finding love amidst the depths, is ready to return to the mines. Armed with an array of potent new tools, one can't help but wonder about the purpose of those enigmatic glowing crystals.

At the outset of each spin, three rows are active, with the potential to expand to six through subsequent collapses. A collapse can be initiated by various events: a winning combination, the explosion of an xBomb Wild, or the activation of the Wild Mining feature.

Following each win, symbols are paid out and removed, paving the way for a new collapse. This process sees symbols cascading downward to fill empty positions from above.

In the main game, dirt symbols may harbor Wilds, Splits, or Bonus symbols. However, buried Feature symbols remain inert until their surrounding dirt is cleared or struck by a Split feature.

An xBomb Wild symbol acts as a substitute for any symbol except Bonus symbols. Upon detonation, it clears adjacent symbols (excluding Bonuses) and boosts the win multiplier for the ensuing collapse. All xBomb Wilds explode before the subsequent collapse, unless the Wild Mining feature intervenes.

Wild Mining activates during the main game when three, four, five, or six identical symbols align either horizontally or vertically without resulting in a win. These triggering symbols are removed, generating Wild symbols in their midst.

Additionally, three, four, or five Bonus symbols trigger the Lucky Wagons Spins, unveiling two, three, or four rows of the reel area at the outset. With each spin, coin values determine enhancements such as Multipliers, Dynamite, Beer, or Dwarf, each activated by a coin landing beneath the corresponding enhancer.

Misery Mining

A quest of legendary proportions awaits: Is it the gleam of gold or the allure of the perfect brew that drives this determined dwarf? Follow him on his relentless pursuit of the ultimate beer recipe - no amount of toil or hardship can deter him from savoring that ideal icy beverage.

At the outset, only the central 3x3 grid is accessible, while the surrounding area remains sealed by barriers. Triggering explosions with xBombs near these barriers gradually expands the play area. Various occurrences may cause the closed cells to collapse, unveiling new possibilities.

The commencement of Misery FreeSpins requires the appearance of three Scatter symbols or one or two Super Scatter symbols, with an initial reel area of 3x3, 4x4, or 5x5. Players can opt for either Mouse or Rat mode. In Rat mode, the feature kicks off with three spins, with the option to reset this count by activating coin wagons or Super Scatter symbols. Each spin reveals enhancements in the top row, ranging from coin wagons and multipliers to bombs, super scatters, bags, chests, rats, or dwarves.

An xBomb Wild Symbol stands ready to substitute for any symbol except Scatter and Super Scatter symbols. When an xBomb explodes, adjacent symbols are cleared, and the win multiplier increases by one for subsequent collapses, excluding Scatter, Super Scatter, and other xBombs.

In the absence of wins or xBomb Wilds, and with fewer than three Scatters present, any remaining Scatters and Super Scatter symbols transform into non-Wild xBombs, triggering a new collapse, shifting barriers, and boosting the multiplier for subsequent collapses by one.

Fire in the Hole xBomb

Equip yourself with your most razor-sharp pickaxe and your most volatile dynamite as Nolimit City plunges you deep beneath the earth's surface to where sunlight cannot reach, but veins of gold abound. Featuring a 6x3 reel grid that can expand up to 6x6, with exploding wilds and 64 initial ways to win that can escalate to a staggering 46,656, you'll navigate the mines in pursuit of precious riches. Fire In The Hole xBomb marks Nolimit City's debut title showcasing the xBomb feature, which eradicates all adjacent symbols while boosting the win multiplier by one - regardless of whether it's a winning spin or not.

Each spin commences with 3 active rows, and with each cascade, an additional row becomes active, eventually reaching a maximum of 6 rows. A cascade can be triggered by a winning combination, an xBomb Wild explosion, or the Wild Mining feature. Winning symbols are rewarded and removed before initiating the subsequent cascade, causing all symbols to descend, creating space for new symbols to descend into.

Landing 3, 4, or 5 bonus symbols will activate the Lucky Wagons Spins feature, initially revealing 2, 3, or 4 rows of the reel area. Beginning with 3 spins, this feature resets to 3 spins whenever a coin lands within the reel area. All coin values are multiplied by the active bet. Throughout the Lucky Wagon Spins feature, the top row unveils enhancers for each spin, including coin values, multipliers, dynamites, bags, chests, or dwarves. An enhancer activates upon a coin landing on the reel beneath it.

An xBomb Wild symbol acts as a substitute for any symbol except bonus symbols. When an xBomb Wild detonates, it eliminates adjacent symbols except for bonus symbols and increases the win multiplier by one for the subsequent cascade. All xBomb Wilds detonate before the next cascade, unless the Wild Mining feature is triggered. An xBomb Wild will explode upon a win, regardless of its involvement in the winning combination. If there's no win, it will detonate and initiate a new cascade unless the Wild Mining feature is activated.

Wild Mining occurs in the base game when 3, 4, or 5 identical symbols align horizontally without forming a winning combination. Aligning 3, 4, or 5 symbols awards 1, 2, or 3 wilds respectively. All other positions above the bar explode, except for bonus or wild symbols, triggering a new cascade.

Dwarf Mine

In the depths of subterranean mines, gleaming treasures catch the flickering torchlight. Instead of relying solely on pick-axes, the intrepid dwarven miners delve ever deeper in search of valuable finds.

Enhanced with powerful crystals, the mining machinery is optimized for maximum coverage. These special gems propel the machine towards the deepest veins of jewels, and additional 'BONUS' drills can be incorporated at any point. When three bonus drills are activated, the machine enters Free Spins Mode, while amassing a collection of crystals triggers Collection Free Spins featuring symbols with exceptionally high payouts. Join the dwarven miners on their quest, for golden riches await!

Upon landing a bonus symbol on the reels, the reel expands by one row for that particular spin. These symbols exclusively appear during the base game, limited to reels 1, 3, and 5. Reels can only expand up to three times, corresponding to the maximum number of bonus symbols that can appear in a single spin. The symbols on the newly extended bottom three rows are positioned randomly.

Acquiring three bonus symbols grants 10 Free Spins with a 5 x 7 reel configuration. During Free Spins, bonus symbols and Collectible Crystals are absent, and the wager remains consistent with the initiating spin.

Collecting five identical Crystals triggers 5 Collection Free Spins. These Crystals exclusively emerge on the expanded rows in the base game, with each Collectible Crystal capable of landing once per spin. If multiple collections are completed simultaneously, they are awarded in the following sequence: green, yellow, blue, and red. In instances where both collectable Free Spins and regular Free Spins are activated concurrently, regular Free Spins take precedence. New players are furnished with three Red crystals upon their initial gameplay.

Completion of a collection awards 5 Free Spins with the 5 x 7 reel format. These reels exclude Bonus symbols and Collectible Crystals, but introduce a Super high pay symbol matching the color of the collected crystal onto all reel sets. Collection Free Spins are played with the average coin value derived from the coin values utilized in spins where the Crystals were gathered.

About Expanding Reels Games

Expanding Reels is a casino game mechanic that is often found in online slot machines and video slot games. It is a feature that allows the reels to expand and increase the number of symbols on the screen, potentially leading to more winning combinations.

When a player hits a certain combination of symbols or triggers a bonus round, the reels will expand to add more symbols, increasing the number of ways to win. The expanded reels can also add new symbols to the game, such as wilds or multipliers, increasing the chances of hitting winning combinations. Some games also feature special symbols that can trigger the expanding reels, such as scatter symbols or special bonus symbols.

This game mechanic can add an extra layer of excitement to the game by introducing a new way to form winning combinations. It also allows for more flexibility in terms of where the symbols can appear on the reels, which can make it easier for players to hit winning combinations. Expanding reels can be a great way to increase the chances of hitting big payouts and adding an extra layer of excitement to the game.
