Mental

How to play

Choose a stake and spin. According to the page the bet range is €0.20 to €70. The official page shows the grid only as "3-5 Reels/Rows" and gives no symbol paytable; the details are on the in-game info screen. What defines the game is the set of special mechanics that feed into each other.

Fire Frames and Enhancer Cells

Fire Frame positions can appear on the reels. According to the official page, Enhancer Cells come into play when 4 or 6 Fire Frames appear, and boosters such as xWays, xNudge and xSplit can be revealed.

xMechanics

• xWays: xWays symbols that land reveal a stack of the same symbol, increasing the ways to win.
• xSplit: an xSplit symbol in view splits all symbols to its left in two, increasing the ways, then turns into a wild.
• xNudge: a visible wild nudges up or down to fill the reel, and its multiplier increases by 1 per nudge.

Dead Patient and Mental Transform

When two Dead Patient symbols land, a Patient symbol can receive a random multiplier from x5 to x9999. Mental Transform is a symbol transformation feature that triggers whenever the Spider symbol lands on the reels.

For terminology see the slot terms guide.

Worked example

To see how the xNudge multiplier grows: a wild visible only at the bottom of a reel nudges 3 steps until it fills the reel, and its multiplier increases by 1 per step. Taking a starting multiplier of 1x, the wild ends at 4x after 3 nudges. A 1.50 ₺ win passing through it becomes 1.50 ₺ × 4 = 6 ₺. The starting value and win amount are purely illustrative; the official page only gives the "+1 per nudge" rule, and real values depend on the game's rules.

Autopsy Freespins

Triggered by 3 Scorpion symbols and starts a bonus mode with sticky Fire Frames. It may be upgraded to Lobotomy or Mental Freespins.

Lobotomy Freespins

Triggered by 3 Scorpions plus 1 Spider symbol. An upgraded version of Autopsy: the Spider symbol is sticky and awards Mental Transform on every spin. It also includes a Dead Multiplier that is transferred to a Patient symbol. It may be upgraded to Mental Freespins.

Mental Freespins

Triggered by 3 Scorpions and 2 Spider symbols. Spider symbols are sticky and the Dead Multiplier never decreases. The official page introduces it as "where things go really mental".

The official page does not state spin counts for the three modes. It gives the free spins frequency as 1 in 216; that is a long-run average and does not mean a bonus arrives after a set number of spins.

Maximum win ("This is mental")

The game's maximum payout is 66,666x the base bet; when it is reached the game round ends.

Bonus buy

Nolimit Bonus gives direct access to one of the bonus features at 80x to 1,000x the base bet. According to the provider this feature may be removed in some regulated markets. A single buy can cost hundreds of times the bet, so do not step outside a budget limit set in advance.

Differences from Mental 2

Nolimit City's catalogue also lists Mental 2 as a separate game. According to the provider's own pages:

In both games Dead Patient multipliers go up to x9999. The Mental 2 page also lists features such as Fire Reels and xHole. The simplest way to tell them apart is the title and the grid layout. For Nolimit City's other games see the provider page.

Can you play a demo?

Nolimit City's official game page has a "Demo" button. This site does not host the demo and no button labelled "demo" leads to a registration page. A demo helps you learn the complex rules, but a short session does not show the distribution of results in real play. Official page: Mental on nolimitcity.com.
