Fire in the Hole 3
It gets cold in the mines... nothing whiskey can't fix! So much time has past since we last visited our favourite dwarf that it seems like the entrance to the mine is frozen shut. Hard to tell what he’s doing down there. Distant explosions can be heard accompanied by a strong smell of whiskey. Not sure if it’s the whiskey but we swear we saw 2 dwarfs down there!

The most potent feature to date in the Nolimit City xMechanic portfolio. xGod® was first introduced in the game Nine to Five, released in November 2023.

xGod® is a powerful single feature capable of delivering the max win in an instant. May trigger the max win in the base game or the bonus modes - without the assistance of any other features in the game or wins in the game.xHole Sucks all the symbols in, and spits them right back out!

Symbols only from main reels are sucked in and are spit out to random positions with splitted symbols of size 2 to 8. In case of an xNudge® Wild, it changes size and win multiplier. xHole™ then converts to Wild.
xSplit® was first made available within xWays Hoarder xSplit, released in July 2021. On this first occasion, xSplit symbols go a long way towards assisting wins through the feature, as any xSplit symbols in view to the right of a Scatter symbol will turn the Scatter into a Super Scatter symbol – which within this release assists in progressing the feature through several levels. However, aside from the progression through bonus levels, xSplit as individual symbols increase win ways during base play. Any xSplit symbol in view will split all symbols to the left of it into two, increasing the ways to win. After this, the xSplit symbols will turn into wilds – for the potential of huge wins.An xBomb Wild symbol substitutes any symbol except for the Bonus symbols. An exploding xBomb Wild removes adjacent symbols except for Bonus symbols and will increase the win multiplier by one for the next collapse.

All xBomb Wilds will explode before the next collapse, except when the Wild Mining feature is triggered. An xBomb Wild will explode when there is a win, no matter if it’s a part of the winning combination or not. It will explode and trigger a new collapse if there isn’t a win, and wild Mining feature is not triggered.

Fire in the Hole 3, the upcoming slot by Nolimit City is set to go live on the 3rd of June 2025!
