Das xBoot review

Theme and Style

Das xBoot is themed around the West German World War II film Das Boot released in 1981.

Players will board a submarine and descend into the sea to face their adversaries. In this harsh environment, they’ll need to keep their wits about them if they want to reach the surface again.

This slot is a good find for fans of the original film and those who are looking for a gritty undersea atmosphere.

Visuals and Soundtrack

The ominous soundtrack accentuates the claustrophobic world of a submarine, and the ambient sounds of radar add a sense of realism as well.

On the reels, players will find a cast of war-weary characters. Each of these seafaring men is animated with a dramatic aesthetic that brings to mind a graphic novel. Their military uniforms make their military rank clear and suggest the strict hierarchy of their world.

The reels appear to be built right into the side of the submarine, with ornate machinery framing them. Beyond the reels, the rest of the submarine can be seen, along with a shadowy ocean scene. The darkness of the water makes it clear that this crew is deep below the surface.

Overall, the animation and soundtrack of Das xBoot create a cinematic world of an underwater war.

Bonus Gameplay and Special Features

The Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except the Bonus symbol.

The xNudge Wild is four rows in height and whenever any part of it lands, it will nudge to become fully visible on the reels. During the base game, the xNudge Wild appears on reels 3 and 4, and during the Silent Hunter Spins, it lands only on reel 4.

The xWays symbol appears on reels 2 and 5 and reveals a randomly chosen regular symbol. The xWays symbol can range from x2-x3 symbols in size. If multiple xWays symbols land together, they will always reveal matching symbols.

The xBomb Wild symbol can substitute for any symbol, excluding the Bonus symbol. The xBomb Wild bursts every symbol that is not forming a winning combination, excluding Bonus symbols and Wild symbols.

Once the xBomb Wild explosion happens, the remaining symbols move down the reels, allowing new symbols to fall in from above. The xBomb also increases the multiplier by x1 for each Cascade of the reels.

The Bonus symbol can appear on reels 2-5 and if players land 3 of them, the Silent Hunter Spins feature begins, starting with 8 free spins.

During the Silent Hunter Spins feature, reel 3 expands to contain 8 positions, and a special Periscope Wild symbol becomes available. Several additional special features are contained within the Silent Hunter Sspins, including sticky multipliers and expanding Wilds. Landing additional Bonus symbols awards players +2 extra free spins.

If players land 4 Bonus symbols, the Wolf Pack Spins begins, starting with 8 free spins.

During the Wolf Pack Spins, a Torpedo Tube is added under reels 2-5, and special Torpedo Wilds are available. Players then add xWays symbols to the Torpedo area and once filled, these symbols are activated and revealed. Each time the Torpedo is filled, players are also awarded a sticky multiplier that increases progressively. Players can be awarded +2 additional spins for every Bonus symbol they land during the Wolf Pack Spins.

The maximum payout for Das xBoot is 55,200x players’ total bet. If this win is reached, the round will conclude, and the 55,200x payout will be awarded.

The decent RTP and engrossing cinematic theme make this slot a solid choice.
