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.

The Investments team at RedCore held dozens of meetings at ICE Barcelona with projects from MarTech/Traffic, iGaming, AI/ML, and RegTech. We share our observations on the direction of the market and changes in the approach of startups.
Technology is the main trend
The products at the conference focused on offering fundamentally new solutions rather than competing head-on. There were a huge number of game providers, but the ones that attracted attention were those betting on technological innovation.
“The trend is clear: products are trying to offer something completely new, rather than just competing in their niche,” notes Andrei Alexandrov, Investment Portfolio Manager at RedCore.
The influx of incoming applications confirmed this: even without a targeted search, most projects fell within the fund`s priority areas — MarTech/Traffic, iGaming solutions, AI/ML, and RegTech.
AI and data are changing the traffic game
At iGB Affiliate, which ran parallel to ICE, AI solutions for traffic were everywhere: trackers, predictive models, player behavior analysis panels. This reflects the maturity of the market — traffic optimization is no longer possible without ML/AI approaches.
The main competitive asset today is data and segmentation. Those who segment more deeply, personalize, and truly understand the behavior of their audience will win. Granular data, behavior by micro-segments, is no longer a “nice-to-have” but a necessity.
“Affiliates are increasingly acting not just as CPA traffic partners, but as full-fledged marketing experts who use data and content to improve engagement,” notes Iryna Yeromenko, Investment Portfolio Manager at RedCore.
Startups have become more mature
Just a few years ago, conferences were often attended by teams with raw ideas. Now the situation has changed: founders come with well-developed pitches, clear business models, and a clear understanding of the market.
“Startups are particularly impressive this year: everyone comes prepared and tries to present themselves in the best way. There was almost no one who came with just an idea,” says Andrei Alexandrov. “Some said that we are their priority fund. This level of trust confirms that we are moving in the right direction.”
Record dealflow, but quality is more important
The volume of incoming applications for ICE Barcelona exceeded the total for all other events last year. But a large flow also means risk: without clear selection criteria, it is easy to waste time on irrelevant projects.
“There are a lot of introductions, pitches, and “let`s talk”. At the same time, it is important to remember that quantity does not equal quality. ICE reinforces the need for strict investment filtering, as without clear criteria, it is easy to get lost in the noise,” explains Oleksandr Briukhovetskyi, Investment Portfolio Manager at RedCore.
This principle also works in traffic: the best affiliates focus on data strategies, mobile-first and video-first content, as well as player behavior patterns. Affiliates get access to more metrics, which lets them buy better traffic.
Long-term value instead of quick deals
ICE Barcelona isn`t about closing deals on the spot. The main value of the conference lies in the opportunity to create the foundation for partnerships for the next 6–12 months.
“Conferences bring strategic value. In terms of the density of quality contacts, long-term deals, and relevant contextual conversations, they are confidently ahead of most other channels,” — notes Oleksandr Briukhovetskyi.
Industry boundaries are blurring
ICE attracts a large number of cross-industry projects that are not formally related to iGaming but seek to integrate into this market. This creates new opportunities for investors who can see synergies between different verticals.
“ICE is a rare case where all elements of the iGaming chain are gathered in one space: operators, providers, payments, RegTech, AI, traffic, media buying, crypto, Web3. The boundaries of the industry are blurring right in front of our eyes,” Oleksandr sums up.
Where is the market headed
The market is moving towards consolidation. The trend towards aggregators and super apps is growing stronger, and now AI has joined the mix. The greatest potential lies in automated management systems, data aggregators, big data products, and predictive analytics.
In iGaming, there is growing demand for infrastructure solutions: tools for Retention, Customer Support, Antifraud, Responsible Gaming, and regulation. There is particular interest in products that allow operators to independently create loyalty systems, custom games, and analytics.
The focus of investors has shifted. Previously, they pursued ideas, but now expertise and team stability matter more. The number of startups has grown, as it is easier than ever to create an MVP in the AI era. Therefore, Due Diligence is critical: how well does the product solve a real market problem, and whether the team is ready to develop and monetize it.

Brasil on Track
ODDSGATE LAUNCHES “BRASIL ON TRACK”, A STRATEGIC PLATFORM FOR NAVIGATING BRAZIL’S REGULATED IGAMING MARKET
As Brazil’s regulated iGaming market completes its first year under Law 14.790/2023, Oddsgate today announced the launch of Brasil on Track, a strategic platform designed to help operators monitor legislation, understand compliance requirements, and make informed decisions in Latin America’s largest economy.
Brasil on Track provides live tracking of regulatory milestones, market indicators, and operational requirements,
connecting legal updates to their business impact and linking directly to official sources.
Brazil’s regulatory landscape has evolved rapidly over the past year. Law 14.790/2023 introduced clearer frameworks for licensing, taxation, and consumer protection, which accelerated international interest and positioned Brazil among the world’s most closely watched regulated iGaming markets.
According to Brazil’s Ministry of Finance, the sector generated an estimated R$36 billion in gross gaming revenue (January-September 2025) and R$3.3 billion in federal tax revenue over the same period, highlighting the market’s scale and momentum.

“The regulation brought by Law 14.790/2023 was a major milestone for Brazil’s iGaming sector,” said Valter Delfraro Junior, Oddsgate’s Director of Regulatory Affairs. “It ended years of uncertainty and provided legal security and operational clarity. This new scenario places Brazil’s gaming industry on par with mature markets, increasing our international competitiveness and attractiveness to global investors and partners.”
During the first year of regulation, operators faced extensive requirements, including federal authorization processes, responsible gambling mechanisms, advertising restrictions, and new tax structures. Oddsgate expects the market to continue expanding throughout 2026, with early adopters well-positioned to benefit from greater credibility and market growth.
“We transform regulation into a practical, continuous guide for operating in Brazil with less risk and more clarity,” said Wagner Fernandes, Chief Marketing Officer at Oddsgate. “Brasil on Track helps teams entering, expanding, or optimizing operations decide with context, not guesswork.”
What “Brasil on Track” includes
– Live tracking of active regulation and pending bills;
– An operational roadmap mapping legal changes to required compliance actions;
– Market intelligence, including player demographics and key market indicators;
– Visibility into tax structures, licensing steps, and market-entry requirements;
– Focus areas include KYC, AML, self-exclusion tools, responsible gambling, and consumer protection requirements.
