How East Coast vs West Coast plays

The setting is a hip-hop rivalry between America’s two coasts. Wins pay across 243 ways from left to right, and a wild stands in for the regular paying symbols. Two bonus symbols on one spin give a single respin with one enhancer switched on.

Five enhancers drive the ways count beyond 243:

  • xWays: mystery symbols that open up into two or three matching symbols, making their reel taller.
  • xNudge Wilds: wilds that nudge to cover the reel, with a multiplier that climbs as they move.
  • Multipliers: symbol multipliers that make a symbol count several times over, adding extra ways.
  • Linked reels: two or more reels joined so they show the same symbols.
  • Infectious xWays: every copy of the revealed symbol expands to the same size.

East Coast Spins, West Coast Spins and Coast to Coast

Three or four bonus symbols award 8 or 10 free spins, then you pick a side. East Coast Spins put Infectious xWays on every free spin, so one revealed symbol can spread across the screen. West Coast Spins take a broader route, with one enhancer active on each spin. In either mode, bonus symbols that land add spins and unlock more of the five enhancers shown on the bar above the reels.

Fill that bar with all five and the game moves on to Coast to Coast, a round of 12 free spins with two enhancers on every spin. Five bonus symbols in a single base game spin go straight to it. That choice of route, with an upgrade at the end, sets it apart from Nolimit City’s more direct xWays slots.
