xWays Hoarder xSplit Review
While other studios explore well-trodden historical paths for their themes, this game contemplates waste. The potential win reflects that concept.
This is another good release, building on the established xWays feature, while adding a brand new xSplit Wild.
xWays Hoarder xSplit Features
xWays symbols can land on the 3 middle reels only, and they always reveal 2 to 4 instances of a randomly selected matching pay symbol. If you land multiple xWays symbols, they all reveal the same matching symbol.
The xSplit Wilds can land during base game play only, and appear on reels 3, 4 and 5. Whenever they land, all symbols to the left on the same row are split in two. If an xWays symbol is split by the xSplit Wild, the value of the xWays symbol is doubled for every split. The xSplit turns into a regular wild, and this wild can also be split by a new xSplit symbol.
You trigger the Bunker Raid Bonus Round when you land 3 or 4 Fallout Scatters anywhere on reels 2 to 5. This awards 7 or 10 Bunker Raid Spins, respectively. However, if a scatter is split by an xSplit Wild, it turns into a Super Scatter. If you trigger the bonus round with a Super Scatter involved, the Super Scatter and the symbols below turn into sticky xWays symbols.
All xWays symbols you land during the bonus round are sticky for the duration of the feature, and they also award +1 extra spin. The xWays symbols drop down to the bottom row, or the lowest xWays symbol on that reel, and it will then merge with any sticky xWays symbol already present.
xWays symbols are also collected in a meter, and you reach a new ‘Hoarder Level’ for every 3 you land. Each new Hoarder level removes the lowest remaining character and object symbol from the reels. Starting at level zero, the bonus round comes with 3 Hoarder levels on top of that.
If you manage to reach the top of the Hoarder meter, the whole feature shifts to the Wasteland Free Spins round. Only 4 symbols will land during this top-tier bonus round, namely the 2 highest value character symbols and the 2 highest value object symbols.
The 9 xWays symbols you’ve gathered on the 3 middle reels will now merge to form a mega symbol that covers the entire 3 middle reels per free spin. Each of the merged xWays symbols still come with a symbol count of x2 to x4 however, multiplying with each other per spin to generate potentially massive payouts.
Non-UK players can take advantage of the Bonus Buy feature with the following options:
- Bunker Raid Spins with 7 free spins costs 95x your stake.
- Bunker Raid Spins with 10 free spins costs 180x your stake.
- Wasteland Free Spins with 7 free spins costs 777x your stake.
- Random Mystery option costs 218x your stake.
In this context, it’s good to keep in mind that the Bonus Round triggers organically once every 307 spins on average.
The 200 Spins xWays Hoarder xSplit Experience
We purchase the random bonus round option pretty soon after the video starts, and this gave us 10 bunker raid spins. We landed quite a few xWays symbols, and this kept the feature going for a good while. One big win followed another, and we will definitely be back for more! Check it all out for yourself in the 8-and-a-half-minute highlights video below.
Review Summary
Despite the theme, it feels like there's a plan. It's still very good.
It’s fascinating to see how this creative bunch manages to build on top of already successful features, this time with the innovative xSplit Wild and the merging xWays symbols. Because of all the finesse, the game sounds rather complicated when you read about it. However, it’s really all about building up merged xWays symbols on the 3 middle reels, and hopefully get to the top-tier bonus round where pretty much any line-up generates a big win.
