Discover the Mental slot machine by Nolimit City

As explained in the introduction, Mental is quite a unique slot machine, in the sense that it is directly inspired by the greatest successes of horror cinema. By deciding to play it, you will be automatically transported into a complex world… Since the game takes place in a psychiatric hospital!

Abandoned, the place is covered with tags, notes, and other elements of decor that irremediably remind one of mental illness and the confinement of the worst villains and evildoers of this world. As you were warned, it is a somewhat special slot machine, but one that operates in the traditional way.

Launched in 2021, the Mental slot machine by Nolimit City operates on a 5-reel grid, for a total of 108 pay lines. It is a highly volatile game, which allows you to win a lot of money, and we will come back to this.

The features of Mental, a particular slot machine

Several features make up the base game Mental: 

• Fire Frames: a symbol can appear “on fire”. It will then split into two parts, thus increasing the number of ways and possible combinations.

• Dead Patient: if you see two “Dead Patient” symbols appear, a random multiplier that can reach x999 will appear. In case of connection, the gain realised will then be multiplied by the value corresponding to the assigned multiplier.

• Enhancer Cells: this feature only activates on reels 2 and 4 of the game. As soon as one of the two Enhancer Cells is filled, it can reveal various symbols (a patient, a dead patient, an xWays or xSplit to multiply or divide the cards, a wild symbol or wild xNudge to improve the total multiplier).

• Mental Transform: if you get a Spider symbol on reels 2 or 4, it transforms into one of the symbols presented in Enhancer Cells.

The other classic symbols of the Mental slot machine

In total, there are 10 symbols on Mental. These 10 symbols are divided into two parts, with on one side the classic symbols, which appear quite often but are less profitable.

They are represented by human organs, such as the eye, brain, heart, lungs, and hand bones. There are also premium symbols, which appear less often but pay more. They are represented by five patients (and are indeed called Patient 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5).

The bonus on Mental

On Mental, you will have several bonuses. The first is called Autopsy Freespins. As soon as you find three Scorpion symbols (a new symbol, therefore), you get eight free spins. During these rounds, you can get the Fire Frames on all five reels, meaning you can find yourself with a completely split grid, for more combinations and thus, more gains.

The second bonus, Lobotomy Freespins activates if you get a Spider symbol along with three Scorpion symbols. You then win nine free spins. The third bonus, Mental Transform. During your freespins, the “Patient” symbol can appear with a multiplier that can reach x 9999.

Finally, you can also enjoy the Mental Freespins bonus. To obtain it, you will need two Spider symbols and three Scorpion symbols. Here, the Spider symbols are sticky, and as soon as you find one, it activates the Mental Transform feature, for an exceptional multiplier bonus, which will remain until the end of your free games.

How to play Mental?

Mental is a slot machine that operates in a really simple way. You just need to pay for a spin and activate the slot machine. In case of winnings or bonuses, you will be automatically notified. In case of a loss, you will also be informed by a message displayed on your screen.
