Nolimit City resurfaces in the apocalyptic world of xWays Hoarder 2
Karen’s back, and she’s as greedy as ever. Nolimit City is diving headfirst into the post-apocalyptic chaos once again with xWays Hoarder 2—a sequel to the wildly popular xWays Hoarder xSplit. This game follows in the footsteps of sequels like San Quentin 2, Punk Rocker 2, and Fire in the Hole 2, proving once more that the end of the world is just the beginning when it comes to our games.
When survival is the name of the game, desperation leads to chaos. Betrayal, looting, and backstabbing are all fair play in this wasteland—but it’s all worth it for that sweet, sweet loot.
The base game is littered with signature Nolimit City xMechanics such as xBet®, xWays®, xSplit® and xSplit® Nudge. xWays® can grow from 4x – 12x the value of the symbol offering some pretty sweet loot. xSplit® symbols splits all symbols to the left of the including xWays® symbols doubling the multiplier. xSplit Nudge is another valuable feature that lands as a stacked symbol that will nudge and split all symbols to the left. xBet® makes it 4 times more likely to trigger free spins, 1 Guaranteed xSplit® Nudge xBet® guarantees a minimum of 1 xSplit® Nudge and Loot Respin xBet® guarantees triggering Loot Respins.
Loot Respins can land along with any other special feature on the reels. During Loot Respins, the Loot symbol expands on the first reel and locks the reel, whilst any special symbol retriggers and becomes sticky for the next spin. When no additional special symbol lands, the 1st reel unlocks and one final respin is awarded. A Loot symbol may land again and will retrigger Loot Respin!
Landing 3, 4 or 5 Scatter Symbols will trigger 7, 10 or 13 Raid Spins respectively. During Raid Spins xSplit®, xWays® and xSplit® Nudges remain sticky. A Super Scatter will convert itself and the symbol below it to a xSplit® symbol. For every 3 special features selected a new Radiation level is reached where each level upgrade awards 1 addition spin.
- Radiation Level 1 – 3 xSplit®/xWays®/xSplit® Nudge collected: The lowest paying character symbol and object symbol are removed from the reels.
- Radiation Level 2 – 6 xSplit®/xWays®/xSplit® Nudge collected: The second lowest paying character symbol and object symbol are removed from the reels.
- Radiation Level 3 – 9 xSplit®/xWays®/xSplit® Nudge collected: The third lowest paying character symbol and object symbol are removed from the reels.
- Radiation Level 4 – 12 xSplit®/xWays®/xSplit® Nudge collected: The fourth lowest paying character symbol and object symbol are removed from the reels.
Landing 3,4 or 5 Scatter symbols where 1 of them is a Special Scatter symbol will trigger 7,10 or 13 Plunder Spins. The only difference between Raid Spins and Plunder Spins is that the Super Scatter Symbol and the positions below it become a Sticky xSplit for the duration of the spins. Binge Spins are awarded when Raid Spins or Plunder Spins progresses to Radiation Level 4 where only the 2 highest paying Character symbols and highest paying object symbol are awarded.
If you want to survive you need to trust no one but yourself and if you get out alive a maximum payout of 25,920x the base bet is awarded. xWays Hoarder 2 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: “Ah yes, the sweet smell of the wasteland is back, oh no wait that’s Karen, the Queen of Shit! This is yet another sequel we’ve been excited to release for a while! The original was stand out hit for us, so we knew we had to respect its legacy. We’ve made a few tweaks and added a couple of new features that really make this game what it is and we hope players will enjoy it!“
‘xWays Hoarder 2’ will be available to all Nolimit City partners on January 14th, 2025.

Playtech PLC on Thursday said it expects 2026 results to beat market expectations, with its first half supported by an “excellent performance in the US”.
Playtech shares jumped 18% to 378.60 pence each in London on Thursday morning. It is up around 3% over the past 12 months but had been around 10% lower prior to Thursday’s surge.
The Douglas, Isle of Man-based gambling software firm now expects adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of EUR270 million, “significantly above the current analyst consensus”. It puts the current consensus range at EUR205 million to EUR225 million.
Playtech’s current forecast represents a 37% rise from the EUR197.0 million achieved in 2025.
“Playtech’s trading has delivered results significantly ahead of market expectations, driven by excellent performance in the US and continued strength in Mexico, Colombia and certain European markets. The performance in the Americas, as consistently flagged since the start of the year, continued to accelerate through May and June,” the firm said.
It expects a first half adjusted Ebitda of over EUR155 million, rising at least 69% from EUR91.6 million a year prior.
Chief Executive Officer Mor Weizer said: “We achieved an excellent performance in the first half of 2026, reflecting continued momentum in regulated markets, notably the Americas and certain European markets. Performance in the US, driven by our partnership with Hard Rock Digital, has been exceptionally strong, and we are delighted to see returns on our investments over recent years accelerate and contribute significantly to profitability and cash flow.
“Playtech continues to further establish itself in regulated and regulating markets going into the second half of the year, and we are pleased with the progress towards our medium-term targets.”
Playtech releases half-year results on September 10.
Looking ahead, it expects second half earnings to decline from the first, with UK regulatory measures partly to blame.
“Hard Rock Digital has become one of Playtech’s largest customers and is expected to remain so going forward, albeit Playtech’s revenue with the operator is likely to continue at a lower but more sustainable level in H2 2026 and into 2027. Elsewhere, the company has been investing into a significant partnership in Brazil, ahead of expected signing and launch, which is likely to begin contributing to growth in 2027. In addition, in H2 2026 Playtech will also absorb the full impact of increased remote gaming duty in the UK, which became effective in April 2026,” the firm explained.
From April 2026 there was an increase in UK remote gaming duty 40% from 21%. Remote gaming duty is a levy applied on online casino offerings, poker and slots.

Imagine Live, the live casino provider, has partnered with MaxBet, one of the leading sports betting and gaming operators in the Balkans.
The partnership extends Imagine Live’s presence across regulated markets, bringing its live dealer games and game show content to MaxBet’s player base.
Now agreed and rolling out, the collaboration will go live first in Montenegro, followed by Serbia and then Bosnia & Herzegovina.
MaxBet serves around 95,000 online players each month, holding a leading position in its core Serbian market. The business has been majority-owned by Flutter Entertainment – the global operator behind brands including Paddy Power and Betfair – since 2023.
Its players will gain access to Imagine Live’s portfolio of live dealer tables and game shows, streamed from the provider’s studios in Armenia, Romania and Spain.
Launched in 2022, Imagine Live operates more than 200 tables and holds licences with the UKGC, MGA, ONJN, HGC and other regulators, extending its footprint in a region where regulated online play continues to grow.
Nadiya Attard, Chief Commercial Officer at Imagine Live, said: “Going live with MaxBet reflects the strength of our content and our focus on partnering with established operators across regulated markets.
“MaxBet is one of the most respected names in the Balkans, and starting in Montenegro before expanding into Serbia and Bosnia & Herzegovina gives us a strong platform in a region we know well.”
Tornike Tordia, Head of Gaming at MaxBet, said: “Bringing Imagine Live’s live casino content to our players reflects our commitment to offering a varied, high-quality gaming experience.
“Their live dealer games and game shows add real depth to our offering, and we look forward to rolling them out across our markets as the partnership grows.”

TaDa’s commitment to responsible gaming and sustainable growth was rewarded with a successful appearance at this year’s iGB L!VE in London, where quality conversations with Tier One operators, strong interest in its latest releases and demand for trusted, UKGC-licenced content validated the company’s strategic direction.
In light of the evolving UK regulation, this year’s exhibition saw a shift in operator priorities. As revised acquisition strategies place greater emphasis on compliance, player retention and long-term value, operators are increasingly seeking certified and established suppliers like TaDa that are capable of delivering engaging content within robust responsible gaming frameworks.
With impressive foot traffic to the stand, TaDa’s account management and business development teams also received highly positive feedback from meetings with regulated market clients, gaining valuable insights for future strategic direction.
Focusing on UK market leading releases, TaDa highlighted Gold Mine Express which continues to generate considerable interest following its strong retention metrics.
Visitors were equally enthusiastic about the Hit the Cash slot Leprechaun Gold Streak which is engineered for stability and Fortune Hook Antarctic which is aimed at diversifying TaDa’s player base while maintaining accessibility across all levels.
In addition to core European markets, the teams engaged with numerous clients from the African market, securing more resources and strategic alignments to further accelerate TaDa’s expansion into Africa.
For TaDa, whose portfolio is certified across multiple regulated markets and supported by a strong reputation for safe gaming practices, the evolving landscapes represent an opportunity to contribute more to both operators and the industry.
Ray Lee, Director of Business Development, TaDa Gaming, said: “iGB L!VE showed how operators are looking beyond acquisition and placing greater value on sustainable growth through responsible gaming, player retention and trusted partnerships. Those priorities have always been central to our business, so it was encouraging to see our approach resonate strongly with both existing partners and prospective new customers.”
