Mental 2 — Nolimit City goes back to the asylum
Updated: August 2026
Few studios build a sequel that is even less comfortable than the original, and that is exactly what Mental 2 does. The asylum setting returns, the presentation stays grim on purpose, and the maths sits in the extreme band of the studio's range. What follows describes the machinery, not a promise about it.
Modes, not a single bonus
The structural difference worth knowing before you start is that this game does not funnel everything into one free spins round. Several distinct spin modes exist, each with its own trigger and its own behaviour once running. Choosing between them, where the game lets you choose, changes the shape of the session rather than merely its length. The rules pages inside the game enumerate the modes; no summary elsewhere can be trusted to stay current with them.
How the symbols behave
An xNudge wild occupies more space than the position allows, so it slides until it is fully in view, and every step of that slide raises the multiplier applied afterwards. xWays symbols unfold one position into several, which is why a spin can end with far more paying combinations than it began with. Enhancer symbols upgrade what is already on the grid instead of paying in their own right. Stack those three ideas and the rare rounds become extremely top-heavy, which is the point of the design.
The number this page will not give you
Return percentages for this title exist in more than one version, and which one an account receives is a licensing decision made above the player's head. Rather than reprint a figure that may not apply, this guide points at the information button in the game frame: the rules there state the return in force, the variance rating and the win ceiling for that build. The grid dimensions and the release date are printed in the same place, which is why they are absent here too.
Francs, limits and the wagering trap
Balances are kept in Swiss francs. The floor for a deposit is 20 CHF with a card or e-wallet, 25 CHF by bank transfer and roughly 50 CHF in crypto; payouts start from 20 CHF and are released within about 24 hours, with up to 48 hours for the first one because verification runs alongside it. Bonus money deserves a warning with this particular game: wagering usually sits near 35x with slots counted at full weight, live tables at a tenth or nothing, and a spin cap around 5 CHF. A slot whose payback is concentrated in rare rounds is a poor instrument for clearing a deadline-bound balance. Background sits on the wagering rules page and under payment methods.
Demo play as reconnaissance
Play money lets you meet all of the spin modes without committing anything, and for a game this uneven that is worth doing more than once. Note how long the quiet phases run and whether you would still be relaxed about them with real francs on the line. The demo cannot predict a funded session, because each spin is resolved independently of everything before it. Its value is behavioural, not statistical.
Switzerland: where this account actually stands
Concessions to run an online casino from Switzerland go to the country's land-based houses and to nobody else, with the ESBK supervising casino products and Gespa the lottery and sports betting side. Crownplay operates outside that permission, so its domains can be entered on the national blocking list and cut off by Swiss providers, and none of the player protections written into the money gaming act apply to the account. The self-exclusion filed at a Swiss casino covers concessioned venues nationwide but stops at the border of that system, leaving only the operator's own lock here. Winnings from a foreign site also sit differently in tax terms than winnings from a concessioned one, and that is a question for the player and an adviser rather than for a game guide. Counselling is available through SOS-Spielsucht and the cantonal specialist services; access is restricted to adults from 18. Account tools are described under self-exclusion and responsible gambling.
