Theme & Design

Nolimit City’s original Das xBoot is one of their most successful releases to date, and it was instantly a hit with players thanks to its unique submarine design, innovative mechanics, and explosive win potential.

Das xBoot 2 keeps things quite similar to its predecessor, and you’ll see the reels set within a cramped submarine interior with familiar-looking metal panels, pipes, and gauges surrounding the reels. The reels themselves sit in the middle of a control room, and you’ll see the periscope and targeting area at the top.

Now, if you’re a fan of other complex Nolimit City releases like San Quentin 2, Das xBoot 2 will probably be right up your street. It also gives off quite a strong Pearl Harbour vibe, and you’ll see Nolimit City’s iconic style well and truly shown off here.

Das Xboot 2 Gameplay & Bonus Features

Das xBoot 2 is played on a 6-reel layout with a 2-3-4-4-3-2 setup, giving 576 ways to win on every spin. You can bet between €0.20 and €100 per spin. The game offers a very slightly below-average RTP of 95.94%.

Now, at the core of the gameplay are several trademark Nolimit mechanics. xNudge Wilds are 4-row wild symbols that nudge to fill their reel, increasing a wild multiplier with each nudge. You’ll also see xWays symbols on reels 2 and 5, and these expand into 2 or 3 matching symbols, while xBomb wilds clear non-winning symbols from the grid, increase a global multiplier, and allow a fresh cascade to drop in.

One of the key differences in Das xBoot 2 is the upgraded periscope mechanic. Now, Periscope Up! can randomly extend reel 3 and drop in a special Periscope Wild. Hit the target, and the wild expands and nudges down the reel, increasing its multiplier one by one. The game also introduces a brand new Torpedo Builder and Golden Torpedo Builder.

If you manage to fill the boat symbol in the area above the reels, you can build a torpedo over three different spins, collecting xWays and xWays Wilds into a “tube” below reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. Complete the torpedo, and it fires, overlaying those stored values onto the reels for one main spin. The golden version does the same, but here, only +8 or +88 values can land, so it’s pretty easy to see where things can get crazy here.

Now, Das xBoot 2 also has had its free spins mechanics upgraded, and there are now three modes. Landing 3 scatter symbols awards Silent Hunter Spins with a persistent periscope multiplier that grows each time the wild nudges. Landing 4 scatter symbols awards Wolf Pack Spins. Here, you get to repeatedly upgrade and relaunch torpedoes as boats appear above the reels.

If you manage to land 5 scatter symbols, you’ll trigger the Battle of the Atlantic Spins, and here, both mechanics are combined; you get expanding periscopes and torpedo building. Like the original Das xBoot, Das xBoot 2 sees xBomb multipliers sticking in place for the duration of the feature, and landing extra scatter symbols awards +2 spins, too.

You can also choose to purchase Extra Spins after the features conclude. These cost money from your feature win but lock the bonus round in its current state and award +1 spin.
