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.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.xNudge®:  A simple yet effective feature that turns any game into a massive potential bearing title! xNudge works alongside wild reels, wherein landing a wild in view has the potential to increase the multiplier attached, as the wild nudges to fill the entire reel. If the wild is not centred in the reel, it will either nudge up or down, incrementing its multiplier by 1 for each nudge. Reel xSplit® is a brand new xMechanic featured in Stockholm Syndrome. It has made cameos in San Quentin and Tombstone RIP but has recently been trademarked. Reel xSplit® is a variation of xSplit® whereby instead of a row of symbols being split, a whole reel of symbols is split. This is a very powerful mechanic that can change the game by increasing win ways.

The Syndrome feature, with all four middle reels doing something special, has the potential to be absolutely ludicrous, and the max win is 28,873x the bet - a reference to the date of the bank job, 28/8/73

Stockholm Syndrome is a game that pulls you into the surreal world of robbers and their loyal hostages, where everyone is basically a part of one big, happy, dysfunctional family. Who knew that a high-stakes bank robbery could translate into an innovative casino slot over 50 years later?

Artwork, animations and sounds are to the usual standard; one of my favourite things is that subtle 70s vibe that the whole thing has – not too in your face, but enough that you notice it.

You may argue that Stockholm Syndrome isn’t Nolimit City’s best because it’s absent of those ‘WTF’ moments that we’re accustomed to. You’d be right, it isn’t their absolute best, but it’s by no means down the rankings as one of the worst. While we too missed Kenneth Must Die‘s blue baby and Land of the Free‘s incestuous charm, it’s hard to penalise Nolimit City too much for taking a more serious approach here.

Stockholm Syndrome is a feature-packed slot. The Syndrome Spins sees the 4 middle reels affected by various mechanics. Make sure you don't fall in love with your captor as you'll be disappointed most of the time.
