1X2 Network, the award-winning online casino content developer and aggregator, has announced that incumbent CEO Sean St. John is stepping down after more than 20 years, with Chief Commercial Officer Kevin Reid stepping up to the top job.

St. John co-founded the business alongside Brian Reid in 2002. He oversaw both technical and product teams for the vast majority of his time at the helm and lead the 1X2 Network teams in creating their successful virtual sport games, an aggregation system for other games studios, numerous innovative slots and more latterly their very successful MegawaysTM titles including Megaways JackTM, 1 Million Megaways BCTM and the award winning Branded MegawaysTM. St. John was instrumental in the creation of Iron Dog Studio to sit alongside the 1X2gaming team and it was from that combination that 1X2 Network as a whole took home the Slot Supplier of the Year at the EGR 2021 B2B awards. He shall continue in a product role, overseeing aspects of the content production and innovation moving forward.

Reid joined 1X2 Network back in November 2012 and has been responsible for leading the commercial strategy of the group. Over that time, 1X2 Network has become a tier one provider of some of the most popular online slots and casino content in the market.

As CEO, Reid will take on responsibility for the overall management of 1X2 Network and its 1X2gaming and Iron Dog Studio subsidiaries. He will also lead the direction and strategy as 1X2 Network enters a multitude of new markets in the next year. He will remain supported by the senior commercial staff.

Sean St. John said: “It has been an honour to serve as CEO of 1X2 Network for 20 years and to watch the business grow from a small but ambitious studio into a tier one provider with several subsidiaries and portfolio of award-winning content.

“From day one we have pursued a strategy of creating games that will engage and entertain players, and to make those games available to operators in regulated markets. It has proved to be a very successful strategy and one that I am proud to have overseen.

“The time is now right from me to step down from the role of CEO and I look to the future knowing that the business is great hands with Kevin stepping into the top job. I am delighted to continue assisting the company during such an exciting period of growth and have full confidence that we have the right team in place to maintain and extend our current progress”

Nolimit City boards a wild ride at 35,000 feet in Flight Mode

Dear passengers, welcome aboard Flight NLC25! Flight Mode is cleared for takeoff and let’s just say, it’s not a typical family trip to Hawaii. After delivering signature slots like Tombstone Slaughter: El Gordo’s Revenge and Duck Hunters, Nolimit City is now taking it to the skies with Flight Mode and definitely not in a boring way.

Imagine having a crying baby as your only soundtrack, permanent turbulence and a seatmate who thinks deodorant is optional. The Bud Jet airline might not get you from A to B but it’ll drop you into a feature-packed slot and the kind of excitement you can always expect when playing a Nolimit City slot.

In Flight Mode, winning combinations will explode, making room for new symbols to drop in. With every win, the next multiplier value climbs by +1 and applies to new symbols that fall in.

Wild Symbol: The regular Wild symbol that can land on any reel and substitute for any regular symbol.

Multiplier Increaser: Triggered when they land and add its value to the next multiplier value. Multiplier values of symbols are 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x and 10x.

Golden Multiplier Increaser: Triggered when it lands and doubles the value of the next multiplier.

Explosive items are strictly prohib… well, not on this aircraft. The Bomb symbol clears all regular paying symbols on its reel and row when there are no winning combinations. Only Scatter and Wild symbols are saved from the explosions.

Apologies dear passengers, the lavatory is currently occupied! The signature xHole™ is back in Flight Mode, this time disguised as a toilet. All symbols from the main reels are flushed down and then spat out to random positions with the next multiplier value. Just to add an extra twist to it, xHole™ then transforms itself into a Wild symbol that also gets the next multiplier value. Not so hygienic…

Flee Spins

This is the captain speaking – we’re going down! Prepare your life jacket and be ready for a spontaneous meet-up with the sharks during Flee Spins! Land 3, 4, or 5 Scatter Symbols to trigger 6, 9, or 12 Flee Spins, respectively.

Upgrade your seat to Bud Jet’s nice price class when purchasing one of these Nolimit Boosters:

-Print Spins: guarantees a spin that starts off with a 30x multiplier on each paying symbol.

-Printier Spins: guarantees a spin that starts off with a 268x multiplier on each paying symbol.
-Printiest Spins: guarantees a spin that starts off with a 911x multiplier on each paying symbol.

No legroom, no peanuts – but you do get Extra Spins. After a round ends, players may get the option to purchase an additional spin, maintaining the current multiplier state of all previously landed symbols.

The special xGod™ mechanic is locked away disguised as passports on the bottom row, secured behind bulletproof glass and a seatbelt that actually works. Each Bomb explosion breaks the panel of its respective reel, bringing you one step closer to landing a Max Win.

The maximum payout of Flight Mode is 5,051x the base bet. Flight Mode is rated as “Extremely Volatile” delivering the thrilling high-stakes gameplay that Nolimit City fans know and love.

Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said: “This isn’t your standard trip from A to B. Flight Mode is what happens when you let a slot company rewrite the in-flight safety manual, handing out dynamite instead of peanuts.”
