Mental is loaded with features and bonuses that make it fun to play, even if they may seem overwhelming at first. There are multiple free spins, symbol transformations, and more. Each feature gives you lots of chances to win big with multipliers and special bonuses, so let’s go over them.
Original Bonus Features
In the main game, positions 1–13 on the reels can randomly get a fire frame. Symbols landing within a fire frame will split into two parts.
The dead patient feature is triggered when two dead patient symbols appear on the reels. It unveils one of the patient symbols accompanied by a random multiplier. These multipliers can be as high as 9,999x, with the multiplier value reflecting the symbol count on that specific reel.
Enhancer cells are situated at the bottom of reels 2 and 4. They become active with 4 and 6 fire frames on reels 2 and 4. Enhancer cells can reveal any of the patient symbols or a regular dead patient symbol.
The Mental transform is activated by landing a spider symbol on reels 2 or 4. This symbol then transforms into one of the following: xWays, xSplit, dead patient, wild, or patient symbol.
Free Spins Features
Mental introduces a tiered free spins feature, with each level offering unique benefits and mechanisms:
- Autopsy free spins: Triggered by landing three scorpion symbols, autopsy free spins award eight bonus rounds. Additional spins can be earned through scorpion symbols with fire frames. Up to five positions may receive a fire frame in each spin, which stays put during the free spins round.
- Lobotomy free spins: Achieved in the main game through a combination of three scorpion symbols and one spider symbol where you get nine spins. This feature includes all the benefits of autopsy free spins with the addition of the sticky spider symbol, which triggers the Mental transform feature during each spin.
- Mental free spins: Three scorpion symbols and two spider symbols in the main game activate 10 extra rounds. This level enhances the features of lobotomy free spins by making both spider symbols sticky and not removing the dead multiplier count after its transfer, allowing for an accumulation of multipliers.
Mental Bonus Buy
Players can directly purchase access to various levels of the free spin feature. The autopsy free spin bonus is available for 80 times the player’s bet for 8–11 spins. Nine to 13 lobotomy spins go for 230 times the bet, while mental free spins cost 1,000 times the bet. Lastly, you can access a combination of 50% autopsy, 40% lobotomy, and 10% mental spins for 232 times the bet.
xWays
The xWays feature is a game-changer, revealing three symbols of the same kind, thereby expanding the height of the reels. This unique mechanic significantly increases the number of ways to win. xWays can reveal any symbol except for the scorpion, spider, and dead patient symbols. Furthermore, if more than one xWays symbol appears on the reels, all xWays symbols will unveil the same symbol.
xSplit
The xSplit, when activated, splits one symbol on each reel and doubles those symbols, effectively forming winning combinations. Additionally, the xSplit symbol splits itself into two wild symbols.
xNudge Wild Mechanic
The xNudge wild aims for full visibility on the reel. Every time the xNudge wild nudges, the win multiplier increases by one level. When several wild multipliers are in play, they get combined, creating a total wild multiplier that can lead to incredibly lucrative payouts.
