Nolimit City brings the notorious tale of Stockholm Syndrome to life.

Nolimit City gives their own version of the Norrmalmstorg Robbery in their latest release, Stockholm Syndrome. This story has become famous for the psychological phenomenon where hostages develop an unexpected bond with their captors. In true Nolimit City style, they turn the intensity up a notch like in their similar releases, Remember Gulag and Pearl Harbor.

Stockholm Syndrome is set in … yeah you guessed it, Sweden. Putting players right in the middle of a high-stakes negotiation between police and captors who have far more than escape on their minds. The game’s features take centre stage from the start, beginning with the iconic xNudge®, which nudges the Con Man Wild into view. The xBet® feature ensures a scatter symbol or Con Man Wild lands on the reels, while the xBomb® adds a multiplier to the counter and clears space for new symbols by removing others. These powerful xMechanics drive both the base game and the free spins, keeping the tension high and the action relentless.

If that wasn’t enough to make you fall in love with your captor, Stockholm Syndrome introduces specific phrases that can change the game in an instant. If the symbols spell out “PISS” horizontally, the reel turns into a Wild Symbol adding a cheeky layer of unpredictability. When “SOS” is spelled horizontally, xBomb® is triggered and when  horizontally, 5 symbols lock up values behind bars, keys are able to open up these multiplier values, where players can escape with a big score and potentially a Max Win!

When negotiations aren’t going to plan, players are taken to the Hostage Spins where every xBomb® multiplier becomes sticky. Every time a Full Con Man Wild lands it adds a free spin, increasing the global multiplier by 1 and upgrading the lowest paying character symbol with the highest paying character until they are all upgraded.

If that isn’t enough to get you love sick, Syndrome Spins are sure to get you there. In Syndrome Spins, xBomb® multipliers remain sticky, the reel setup expands and when the Con Man Wild lands on the 3rd and 4th an extra spin. Characters from the middle four reels are collected and added to a counter, triggering the Syndrome feature when fully collected.

During this feature, Reel xSplit™ on Reels 2 and 5 splits every symbol in two, while Reel 3’s xNudge® covers the entire reel with a wild that increments its multiplier with every extra collected symbol. Reel 4’s Infectious xWays® opens up a new position and spreads a random symbol across all matching symbols, increasing the xWays® size with each collected symbol.

Stockholm Syndrome is a feature packed love story with a  maximum payout of 28,873x the base bet. It is rated as “Extremely Volatile” as the bonus is a high-risk gamble that players have come to expect from the provider and will no doubt produce plenty of max wins!

Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said:

“Love is not easy to understand, especially when someone catches feelings for their captor. With Stockholm Syndrome’s  , we’ve captured the essence of that infamous event, weaving its tension and unpredictability into every feature. And trust me, once players experience the captivating charm of Syndrome Spins, they’ll be hooked—call it love at first spin.“

‘Stockholm Syndrome’ will be available to all Nolimit City partners on August 20th, 2024.
