Mental Slot Review

A decidedly chilly slot. The setting of a chillier asylum. The sound and visuals are disturbing but match the dark atmosphere.

Mental Illness is sad in its truest form, not many speak of it for fear or judgment or rejection, whatever your situation, this slot strangely speaks to you, albeit not in the most encouraging way. In saying this i found myself fixated on the game

I will just put it out there, that I believe this to be a very out there topic for Nolimit City to attach itself to. In Mental, it centers itself around spirits inhabiting a human body. The visuals coupled with the theme, and the dark imagery will be enough to scare anyone straight. Put your big girl panties on for this one.

Game Play

The game is set on a 5 reel grid with 108 ways to win, giving reels the option to expand into 20 rows. Wins are reached when 3 or more symbols match along the grid from left to right. Default RTP sits comfortably on 96.08%, rising when purchasing features to a max of 96.47%. They were right in saying volatility is a little extreme, Mental bet values vary between 20 p/c to £/€100 per spin, which is playable on any device. The lower value pays land in the form of body parts, seriously?? skeletal hands, kidneys, hearts, brains, and eyes. The higher valued symbols are actual patients, I'm leaning toward patient zero at this stage, but they beat me to it and commonly refer to them as 1,2,3,4 and 5. By Landing five matching patient symbols is worth a payout of between 1.5 to 5 times the stake. When playing Mental, you'll come across extras as Fire Frames, Dead Patients, Enhancer Cells, Mental Transformations, Autopsy Free Spins. Lobotomy Free Spins, Mental Free Spins, Need i say more, you can indulge and buy more too, if you dare lol

During game play 1 to 13 positions are at random surrounded by flames on every spin. They are known as Fire Frames, and any symbol landing within one is split into two. Moving along, to trigger the Dead Patient Feature, happens when 2 Dead Patient symbols hit. This shows 1 of the premium patient symbols and a random multiplier of x5, x10, x15, x30, x50, x100, x300, x500, x1,000, or x9,999. Below the reels, 2 and 4 are visible as the Enhancer Cells. In Reel 2 and reel 4 they are activated with 4 or 6 Fire Frames. Active enhancer cells reveal one of the following A wild symbol. One of the five patient symbols. A regular Dead Patient symbol. xSplit – This splits one symbol on each reel into two, then splits itself into two wilds. xNudge Wild - nudges, so it is evident on the reel. Each nudged step increases a win multiplied by 1 By landing spider symbols on reels 2 or 4 this will trigger the Mental Transform feature. Spiders transform into, way, split, Dead Patient, the Wild, or a Patient symbol.

Autopsy Free Spins The first one being the 8 Autopsy Free Spins, is credited only when 3 Scorpion symbols land on reels 1, 3, and 5. Every Scorpion symbol landing in a Fire Frame awards +1 spin. One can upgrade from Autopsy Spins to Lobotomy Spins by landing a Spider Symbol.

Lobotomy Free Spins Landing 3 Scorpion Symbol and 1 Spider Symbol in the base game gives you 9 Lobotomy Spins. Aside from Autopsy Spin rules, Spider Symbols that hit are sticky, which will trigger Mental Transformations on each spin. Let us not forget the Dead Multiplier rule. This stipulates that the highest Multiplier value from Dead Symbols is collected. When a new Patient symbol hits, their collected multiplier is applied; and then one is deducted from the count. If a player lands 2 Spider Symbols he will then upgrade to Mental Freespins.

Mental Free Spins To trigger this bone chilling bonus you need to land 3 Scorpion Symbols and 2 Spider Symbols, winning you ten spins. What changes here is this time both Spider Symbols are sticky, triggering Mental Transformations with each spin. One thing to note as well is that the Dead Multiplier count does not decrease in value after the multiplier is transferred to new Patient symbols.

Paying out between 80, 200, or 1,000 times the stake, it will allow you to get 8-11 Autopsy Free Spins, 9-13 Lobotomy Free Spins, or 10-15 Mental Free spins. However, paying 220x the stake is a luck of the draw option with a 50% chance of getting an Autopsy, 40% for Lobotomy, or 10% of landing Mental Free Spins. Sounds delicious doesn't it? Lasly, This is Mental was a name not given lightly and refers to when players hit a max win of 66,666 times the base stake? This win is insane, although I am still trying to keep my dinner down, but at least there is something you're angling toward if you can get past the severed digits and gruesome graphics.

Features

Mental is definitely one of those decidedly complicated games, frightening, and stomach churning although I cannot seem to look away. With the reel action, transformations, splitting images, symbols and more, they are not leaving anything to chance here.

Graphically, I feel as though I have just ended up in something out of the twilight zone, its horrific for the most part, but then its so realistic you just can't help but come back for more. The ominous musical additions transform your experience and make you feel as though you are wandering the halls of this hell yourself.

Performance

Ok i just went back in for a third glance, it really is quite enchanting, there is something to be said for the colors, and the eerie undertones, but i can see why this game would appeal to some in the less fragile zone.

If you have staying power then its worth taking a closer look at the bonuses, and features, if you can get past the eccentric graphical aspect it lends itself to a very decent slot, with ample chance of winning big

Max Coin

The max coin win x 66,666.

Conclusion

Not much else to say, only that No Limit City defied all odds releasing this slot, i can imagine there to be much controversy surrounding its contents, but personally, kudos, i feel slightly ill and my stomach is churning but i cant seem to get enough. Think i should consider a visit to a shrink, its getting dark in here!!!
