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.

Bragg Confirms Cyber Attack – Hackers Access Internal IT Systems

Bragg Gaming Group, a leading online gaming technology provider, has confirmed a major cybersecurity incident that compromised its internal IT infrastructure in the early hours of Saturday, August 16, 2025.
The company detected unauthorized intrusion attempts that successfully breached its internal network, triggering an immediate and comprehensive incident response.
Key Takeaways
-
Bragg Gaming Group experienced a cybersecurity breach involving access to internal IT systems.
-
No customer personal data or payment information appears to have been compromised.
-
The company has enacted full containment and investigation protocols.
Details of the Breach
According to a preliminary forensic analysis by Bragg’s internal security team, the attack was a targeted breach aimed at the company’s internal computer environment. While the exact method of intrusion is still under investigation, early indicators suggest a sophisticated exploit of internal network vulnerabilities.
Fortunately, the company’s customer-facing systems, including sensitive user data and financial information, appear to have been unaffected. Bragg’s existing encryption protocols and access control systems successfully prevented the attackers from accessing customer information.
Immediate Response Measures
In response to the breach, Bragg launched a multi-tiered containment strategy, including:
-
Network Segmentation to isolate affected systems
-
Enhanced Monitoring of data flows across its Remote Games Server (RGS) platform
-
Security Audits of critical infrastructure, including the Bragg Hub and PAM systems
-
Engagement of Independent Cybersecurity Experts to assist in incident analysis and system hardening
Bragg’s Security Operations Center has also elevated its alert level, initiating 24/7 monitoring across all server clusters and network endpoints. In addition, company-wide penetration testing is now underway to proactively identify any residual vulnerabilities.
Business Continuity Maintained
Despite the severity of the breach, Bragg reports that its operations remain unaffected. All gaming services, including iCasino and sportsbook offerings across regulated markets, continue to function without disruption.
“While this incident is deeply concerning, we are confident in the rapid and thorough response initiated by our team,” a company spokesperson stated. “We remain committed to protecting our infrastructure, our partners, and most importantly, our players.”
Looking Ahead
As part of its response, Bragg has also launched mandatory security awareness training for all employees to reinforce best practices and prevent future incidents.
Cybersecurity analysts will continue working with Bragg to determine the full scope of the attack, improve system resilience, and maintain the trust of its users and stakeholders.
Bragg’s handling of the incident highlights both the evolving nature of cybersecurity threats and the importance of robust, responsive defense systems in the digital gaming sector.

Slovakia Publishes Groundbreaking Report on Illegal Online Gambling

The Institute for Gambling Regulation in Slovakia (IPRHH) has published the country’s first comprehensive report dedicated to illegal gambling. The study, titled The Black Book of Illegal Gambling, was officially presented at Bratislava’s Einpark and is now publicly available online.
The landmark publication explores the structure, mechanisms, and social impact of illegal gambling operations in Slovakia, with a particular focus on unlicensed online platforms. According to the report, these operators bypass national regulations, exploit vulnerable groups, and deprive the state of hundreds of millions of euros annually in lost tax revenue.
Key Findings From the Report
The study is based on a nationally representative survey conducted by IPRHH in cooperation with the Slovak Academy of Sciences. Among the most striking results:
-
23.7% of players – nearly 296,000 Slovaks – admitted to gambling on unlicensed platforms.
-
24.1% of players could not determine whether the sites they used were legal.
-
Younger users and those with lower levels of education were the most likely to engage in illegal gambling.
-
13.1% of users admitted to gambling illegally because they were listed in the national Register of Excluded Persons (RVO), which should block them from licensed gambling.
“These sites ignore every safeguard that licensed operators must follow,” explained Dávid Lenčéš, Executive Director of IPRHH. “There are no limits, no identity checks, and no protection against addiction. And if you lose money, you have no legal recourse.”
Why Players Choose Illegal Platforms
Survey respondents highlighted several reasons for using unlicensed gambling sites:
-
Higher bonuses (32.5%)
-
Better odds (29.5%)
-
Easier registration (29.1%)
-
Wider game selection (27.4%)
Shockingly, only 42.2% of players actively check for a Slovak license, while 43.2% cannot distinguish between legal and illegal gambling advertisements.
Policy Recommendations
The IPRHH warns that illegal gambling costs Slovakia hundreds of millions of euros each year, money that could otherwise support healthcare, education, and addiction prevention programs.
The institute recommends a multi-pronged strategy to combat illegal operators, including:
-
More effective blocking of unlicensed websites
-
Stronger cooperation with banks and payment providers to block transactions
-
A national public awareness campaign
-
Stable conditions for licensed operators who contribute to the economy
Lenčéš also cautioned against excessive taxation of legal operators:
“If governments dramatically increase taxes on licensed operators, they risk pushing players further into the illegal market. Regulation should protect the public, not unintentionally support criminal ecosystems.”
About IPRHH
The Institute for Gambling Regulation (IPRHH) was founded in 2024 to promote effective, transparent, and responsible gambling regulation in Slovakia. Led by Executive Director Dávid Lenčéš, former Chairman of the Slovak Gambling Regulatory Authority, the organization works to address modern challenges such as digitalization, illegal gambling, and player protection.
