Infectious xWays is the most widely misunderstood of the xSeries, with many players not understanding how this mechanic works. Often, players find the concept of Infectious xWays confusing. Still, this mechanic has now appeared in East Coast vs West Coast, and Infectious 5, wherein this was the only mechanic available, assisted only be original xWays. Despite seeming bewildering, Infectious xWays is actually very easy to understand – any xWays symbols that appear will reveal the same symbol, and if the symbol revealed is already visible on the reels, each in view will be ‘infected' and will expand as if they are xWays – producing additional ways to win. Whilst working alongside win multipliers, or linked reels within East Coast vs West Coast, this mechanic can be instrumental in producing life-changing wins.

At an extra cost per spin, the player gets an increased chance of getting into the Bonus Modes. The way this happens varies from game to game. The payout for each symbol is not affected.

xWays® unlocks unprecedented win potential for players. Usually seen in a fixed Ways game, any xWays symbols that land reveals a stack of the same symbol, increasing the ways available to win, and when working alongside some of the other mechanics available in this series, such as xNudge or xSplit, can pave the way for some huge wins. xWays® first made an appearance in Pixies Vs Pirates, although many players will more likely recognise this mechanic from Punk Rocker, an early 2020 release. Alongside these two releases, xWays has made an appearance in a host of other NolimitCity games, including Dragon Tribe, East Coast vs West Coast, and San Quentin – the early 2021 release which rocked the community with news of a 150,000x maximum win availability.
