Back in July 2022, bet365 signed a deal with Nolimit City, a casino game development company, to help with their next tranche of new games and slots to be played on sites such as bet365 Casino, bet365 Games and bet365 Vegas.
Part of the deal saw a number of Nolimit City titles made available to play at bet365 sites, such as Fire in the Hole, San Quentin and Das xBoot slot games.
However, another aspect of the partnership was that bet365 would be allowed to develop its own in-house games and use some of the proprietary features of Nolimit City games.
And that is precisely what has happened with the release of the exciting new Mercenary X slot game on the bet365 Games platform.

What Makes Mercenary X The First Of Its Kind At Bet365?
When you realise that bet365 has released over 120 exclusive titles since 2018, what makes the release of the Mercenary X slot so special?
The reason why this new release is so eagerly anticipated is that it is the first slot that incorporates a trio of exciting features developed by one of bet365’s partners, Nolimit City.
Those features are xWays®, xNudge® and xSplit® mechanics and we are going to explore a little about what each of these features mean in the section below.
While customers have been able to play a range of Nolimit City games at bet365 since the summer, this is the first time a company has taken a number of specific game mechanics from a partners portfolio, and then incorporated them into its own exclusive and in-house produced games.
What Are The Three New Game Mechanics In Mercenary X?
Of course, when a new slot is released, the first thing many players want to know is what makes a slot so special and what are the bonus features that are the key to unlocking some of the bigger wins available on that game.
Well, Mercenary X’s big selling point is that it offers a trio of features previously only available on Nolimit City games.
They are:
- xWays® – The xWays mechanic is a feature that can increase the number of symbols that are displayed on the reel. It is a similar function to the “Megaways” mechanic available on other bet365 slots in that this mechanic can increase the number of symbols shown on any reel on any spin. In turn, this increases the number of pay lines that you can win on for that spin. The more symbols shown across all the reels, the more possible pay lines you can win on.
- xNudge® – Old timer slot gamers, such as myself, will fondly remember when a ‘nudge’ feature was the pinnacle of slot gaming excitement and it is great to see that this feature has now been brought back to life in new titles.The xNudge feature is linked to a Stacked Wild symbol and if you only land part of a Stacked Wild on any reel in the game, then the xNudge feature will ‘nudge’ the symbol so that the entire reel is now a Stacked Wild. Of course, if you can land multiple xNudge symbols on the reels at any one time then this gives you a greater chance of a better value win.
- xSplit® – One of the newest features from Nolimit City, the xSplit symbol’s primary function is to split all symbols that appear to the left of it into two. This means instead of one symbol in those positions on the reel, there will be two and that of course increases the number of ways you can win for that spin. Additionally, once the symbols have been split into two, the xSplit symbol then turns into a Wild symbol to further help you land a bigger value win. Sometimes, the xSplit feature can also be used with other bonus features of the slot, such as Scatter symbols and can trigger different bonuses when used with these different symbols, dependent on the game that is being played.
“Enhance Our Product Offering Even Further”
Commenting about the release of the Mercenary X slot, the head of Games Software Production at bet365, Shaun Brassington, remarked:
“Nolimit City are one of the most innovative and entertaining suppliers around. They’re renowned for developing powerful features such as their xWays®, xNudge® and xSplit® mechanics to produce some of the very best content in the industry right now.
We at bet365, with a mature in-house games product under the ‘Originals’ brand, felt the time was right to bring these proven features into our own games and enhance our product offering even further.
We’re delighted to introduce these x mechanics into our own exclusive and tailored content. In what we believe is an industry first, this is a great opportunity to fuse such successful features into our own breed of slots to produce something exceptional for bet365 players.”

Additionally, the new Mercenary X game is the focus of a promotion currently running at bet365, the 100,000 Free Spins Giveaway, which ends at midnight today, with the prize draw taking place tomorrow (Thursday 15th December).
