True Grit Redemption 2 — Infectious xWays

Infectious xWays is the headline mechanic. A standard xWays mystery symbol reveals one matching icon and pays once. Infectious xWays takes that reveal and spreads the multiplier to neighboring reels in both directions. A single 5x trigger on reel 3 turns reels 2, 3, and 4 into a chained multiplier zone. Hit two Infectious mystery symbols on the same spin and the chains overlap — that's where 1,000x base-game bursts come from on a slot most people only think pays during the bonus.

Reel Split doubles a reel vertically, turning the standard 6-reel layout into a 7- or 8-reel grid for that spin. The ways-to-win count jumps past 1,000 instantly. Combined with xNudge Wilds — which nudge into full view, adding +1 to the multiplier per nudge step — you get compounding stacks that wouldn't fit on the original grid. Two xNudge wilds on a Split reel can build x6 or higher individually, then multiply together when they share a payline.

Dead or Alive Spins is the endgame. Land 3+ scatters and you enter Torture Spins with locked symbol positions and a sticky corner multiplier that climbs every cascade. Roughly 1 in 20 Torture Spins upgrades to Dead Spins, where every locked position unlocks, xNudge wilds appear at higher rates, and the corner multiplier never resets. The 25,500x max win lives there — bankroll for the dry stretches because 10/10 volatility means dead spins between the explosions.
