Infectious 5 xWays

In terms of theme, they also continuously manage to surprise. One minute they're coming out with a slot about the rough, hard life in prison (San Quentin), the next they're coming up with a slot about hip hop culture (East Coast vs West Coast) and just as easily they're releasing a title. the Wild West (El Paso Gunfight).
With Infectious 5 xWays they are taking a completely different approach: this slot is about superheroes. Together, as superheroes usually do, they have closed a ban.
The powerful xWays mechanism, in which identical symbols unfold for more winning combinations, has also been pulled out of the closet.

Infectious 5 xWays is a win all ways slot, where you always start with a 5 x 4 setup. This equates to 1,024 ways to win.
The xWays mechanism allows the reels to be increased further, providing even more ways to win: up to a maximum of 110,592 ways to win.
The variance is extremely high: you can win a maximum of more than 55,000 x the total bet. Such a high max win is typically a Nolimit City slots thing, and the nice thing is that their slots also regularly pay out such amounts.
The chance that you really win the maximum win of 55,555 x the total bet is 1 in 28 million. To quote Jim Carrey from Dumb and Dumber: “So, you're saying there's a chance? Yes!”
You can bet from two dimes per spin up to a maximum of 50 euros per spin.
The theoretical payout percentage is standard at 96.02%, but please note: there are also versions in circulation with a lower RTP.

When an xWays symbol appears, it can turn into any other symbol (except wilds or scatters). The mystery symbol always shows 2 or 3 matching symbols, which significantly increases the number of ways to win. But it gets more beautiful.
As soon as an xWays symbol and a wild symbol appear on the reels simultaneously, the powerful Infectious xWays feature is activated. Now all xWays symbols are split, but they also infect all other matching symbols on the reels.
For example, monster payouts can arise, or complete frustration, if the wrong symbol falls as a mystery symbol. You know, you have enough xWays, but on a crucial reel just the desired symbol is missing.

The more scatters you spin, the more the bonus can potentially yield. Three or four scatters provide a free spins bonus where you can choose from the following options:
The Toxic Hazard bonus: 9 or 10 infectious spins, with 1 to 5 random wilds on the middle reels on each spin. An xWays symbol always activates the Infectious xWays, because you always have a wild.
Choose the Lock n' Load feature for 7 or 8 infectious spins, with all wilds becoming sticky. This bonus has the highest volatility. Each wild gives an extra spin and wilds can also contain x2 and x3 multipliers. The same applies here: every xWays symbol is guaranteed to yield the Infectious xWays.
With five scatters it's time for a Super bonus, where mega payouts can suddenly become a reality.
The Toxic Hazard Mayhem bonus gives 12 infectious spins, with all premium symbols changed to the golden infectious 5 symbol. Random wilds appear on the middle reels.
The Lock 'n Load Mayhem bonus gives 10 infectious spins and again the five superheroes change into the highest symbol: the golden infectious 5 symbol. Also now, just like in the minor variant, the wilds are sticky.
If you don't have enough balance and don't feel like waiting for enough scatters, there is always the Buy a Bonus option, where you can tap between 75 x and 555 x the bet.
This slot deserves a place in our overview of slots with the most expensive bonus buys.
