The X-iter™ mode is a modular bonus system that lets players skip the base game and buy directly into special game states. Depending on the ELK slot, there are typically 3–5 preset modes available:
- Bonus Buy – access the core free spins feature instantly
- Super Mode – play with maxed-out volatility and potential
- Wild Triggers – guarantee specific wild mechanics on every spin
