How to play The Border

Setting up

The Border is a video slot by Nolimit City, released in 2022. The game is played on a 6×6 grid. To start, choose a stake within the limits your casino offers and press spin. Each spin is independent, and its outcome is decided by a random number generator.

How wins work

Wins are formed with the Cluster pays mechanic. Wins come from groups of matching symbols that touch horizontally or vertically. Features listed for this game: xBomb, xWays, xSplit, Cascading Reels and Bonus Buy. Cascading Reels: winning symbols disappear and new ones fall into their place, so a single spin can produce several wins in a row. Bonus Buy: pay a multiple of the bet to start the bonus round straight away. The paytable inside the game shows what each symbol pays at your current stake.

Bonus round

How the bonus starts: Six scatters trigger Mule Spins. It awards 10 free spins.

What to expect

Volatility is rated very high. The maximum win is 44,288× the stake. The RTP is 96.17%. RTP settings reported for this game: 96.17%, so check the value shown in the game rules at your casino. RTP is a long-term average over a very large number of spins, not a promise for a single session.
