I talk a lot about Nolimit City. Every time I talk about them, I mention just how happy I am that there are studios like that getting more and more popular. Sure, the edginess of their games borders on silly, but I don’t believe that casino games or devs should be self-serious. Today, I want to take this opportunity to talk about one of the company’s latest games – Mental 2. Or Mental II, if you are feeling fancy.

The game was released a few months ago and it’s probably available at an online casino near you! Seriously, it’s been topping charts across many gambling venues, especially sites that have a good grasp on which games are good and which ones are unmissable.

Speaking of venues with excellent game curation, Stake Casino has been featuring top Nolimit City titles since their 2017 launch. Their crypto-focused platform offers seamless gameplay for intense slots like Mental 2, plus their demo modes let you test these volatile games before committing real funds.

Overview

Excuse the edgy language here (and throughout the text), but this game pretty much plunges players back into its deranged universe with a potent cocktail of innovative mechanics and unwavering theme. Building on its predecessor’s foundation, it retains the distinctive non-flush gaming grid (3-2-3-2-3). There are 108 initial ways to win!

However, the true chaos begins with its signature features, capable of explosively multiplying this count. True to Nolimit form, the math model screams “Insane” volatility (rated 12), balanced by a maximum RTP of 96.06%. Bets range from a standard 20 cents to $100, so every high roller can enjoy insane returns, hopefully. There’s also an extensive arsenal of feature buys and boosters offers – it’s a direct, albeit costly, path to the mayhem.

Symbols are deliberately unsettling: 5 low-pay Skeletal icons (0.5x-0.75x bet for 5-of-a-kind) and 5 higher-value Patient icons (1x-2.5x bet for 5-of-a-kind). Wilds substitute for all regular pay symbols, acting as essential catalysts in the unfolding madness. And trust me, the madness is only just beginning!

Feature Cabinet of Horrors

Mental 2’s depth lies in its array of modifiers and bonuses:

    • Fire Frames & Reels. Randomly, positions become Fire Frames (split symbols landing there into 2) or entire reels become Fire Reels (split symbols into 3). These are the engine for symbol multiplication.
    • Dead Patients. Landing 2+ reveals a Patient symbol with a multiplier (x5 to x9,999), based on its count on that reel.
    • Enhancer Cells. Activated by Fire Frames/Reels on reels 2, 3, and 4. They can unleash:
  • Regular Wilds.
    • xSplit. Splits one symbol per reel and itself into 2 wilds.
    • xNudge Wild. Nudges fully into view, increasing its multiplier +1 per nudge. Splitting it further boosts the multiplier.
    • xWays. Reveals 3 identical paying symbols, expanding the reel.
  • xHole. Triggered by an xHole symbol landing in a Fire Frame/Reel on reel 3, position 2. Symbols are pulled and randomly repositioned, their sizes multiplied (x2, x4, x8). Converts to a Wild.
  • xMental. Triggered by an xMental symbol landing in Fire. Grants an extra spin where every position is a Fire Frame, Enhancers reveal modifiers, and xHole is possible.
  • Mental Transform. Disembodied scatters (on reels 2 & 4) transform into xWays, xSplit, Dead Patient, Wild, or Patient symbols.

For players seeking variety beyond complex slot mechanics, games like the aviator game Australia offer similarly intense volatility with simpler, more direct gameplay that complements sessions with feature-heavy slots like Mental 2.

Bonus Rounds: Horrifying Attractions

Cognitive scatters (reels 1, 3, 5) and Disembodied scatters (reels 2, 4) trigger 3 distinct freespin rounds. Scatters landing in Fire Frames/Reels award extra spins (+1/+2). Here they are:

  • Bloodletting Spins (8 spins). Fire Frames/Reels are sticky. Landing Disembodied scatters upgrades to Surgery Spins (+1 spin) or Experimental Spins (+2 spins for 2 scatters).
  • Surgery Spins (8 spins). Bloodletting features PLUS sticky Disembodied scatters triggering Mental Transform each spin, PLUS the Dead Multiplier. Collects the highest multiplier from Dead Patient symbols (based on Count). When matching Patient symbols land, the multiplier transfers, decreasing the Count by 1. Landing a Disembodied scatter upgrades to Experimental Spins (+1 spin).
  • Experimental Spins (10 spins). Surgery Spins features PLUS the Dead Multiplier Count does not decrease after transfer, allowing multipliers to build relentlessly.

Boosters, Purchase & God Mode

Nolimit offers direct access to the following hellish features:

  • Nolimit Booster. xBet (1.4x) guarantees a Cognitive scatter. Fire Frames Booster (6x) guarantees frames on all positions. xHole Guarantee (99x). xMental Guarantee (3,200x).
  • Nolimit Bonus Buy. Buy Bloodletting (100x, 8-14 spins), Surgery (250x, 9-17 spins), Experimental (1,800x, 10-20 spins), or a Lucky Draw (330x).
  • God Mode (6,666x bet). Chase the Max Win by landing an xGOD symbol on each reel (also possible, albeit astronomically unlikely, in the base game).

Tips for Conquering Mental 2

Escaping Mental 2’s asylum with a big win requires leveraging its specific horrors:

  • Prioritize Disembodied Scatters. Landing these on reels 2 or 4 during base game or Bloodletting Spins is key to upgrading to the vastly more lucrative Surgery and Experimental Spins.
  • Understand Enhancer Activation. Know that Fire Reels count as 2 (reels 1,5) or 3 (reels 2,3,4) Fire Frames – crucial for unlocking those powerful Enhancer Cells on reels 2, 3, and 4.
  • Target xHole/xMental Triggers. Actively watch reel 3 position 2 for xHole symbols landing in Fire, and be ready for the symbol repositioning and size boost. Recognize the xMental symbol for its guaranteed all-Fire-Frames respin.
  • Use Boosters Strategically. The xBet (1.4x) is a relatively low-cost way to force a Cognitive scatter trigger attempt. Consider the Fire Frames Booster (6x) if base game dead spins plague you.
  • Respect the Buy-Ins. The Experimental Spins buy (1,800x) is extremely expensive but offers the highest potential; weigh this against the Lucky Draw (330x) for a chance at any bonus, or the cheaper Surgery (250x) as a strong middle ground.

BONUS – Mental 2’s Eerie Soundtrack is on Spotify!

It would cost you nothing to immerse yourself fully in Nolimit City’s deranged audio landscape! The chillingly atmospheric soundtrack for Mental 2 is officially available on Spotify. Tracks like “Death Is Just The Beginning,” “Only Death,” “xMental,” and “Not Everyone Deserves To Die” perfectly complement the slot’s grim asylum setting and intense gameplay. 7 songs, 15 minutes, you know what to do!
