Theme and Symbols

As you enter this online game, you will be looking at the prison’s yard where inmates get to enjoy sport activities from time to time.

Across the reels you will get to meet fellow inmates – a guy with a tattoo on his forehead, a bearded guy, a guy wearing a bandana, a guy with sunglasses and a muscular guy, all representing symbols that award more lucrative payouts.

The lower paying symbols are represented by items that are a must have for every prison, toilet paper, handcuffs, toothbrushes, zippo lighters and soaps, all matching the theme perfectly.

Betting Options and Other Functions

Unfortunately, not everything is perfect about this online title, for example: betting options.

While the minimum bet of 0.20 credits is definitely appreciated and will come in handy for less experienced players, seasoned veterans might feel left out with the maximum bet that goes up to 32 credits.

Fortunately, thanks to incredible payout potential of up to a staggering amount of 150,000 times your stake that’s paired with an above-average RTP of 96.95%, you can look forward to landing those big wins even with lower stakes!

Special Features

• Enhancer Cells – Each reel has a locked Enhancer Cell position that can be found on top and bottom of it. If you manage to trigger this feature, it can reveal one of 5 top paying symbols, as well as Wilds, Razor Split or xWays symbols!

• Bonus – The bonus can land on any reels, but only on reels with unopened Enhancer Cells. While landing 1 or 2 Bonus symbols will turn it into a Wild and open the Enhancer cell on that reel, 3 or more of a kind will trigger the Lockdown Spins.

• Split Wild – The Split Wild can land on any reels during the base game. It will split all regular symbols on the same reels, helping you form more winning combinations!

• Lockdown Spins – Lockdowns Spins come with 1, 2 or 3 Jumping Wilds. During your free spins, Enhancer Cells on the reels where the triggering Bonus was will remain opened. Before you start with your spins, the number of spins and symbol multiplier will be randomly decided.

• Jumping Wilds – Jumping Wilds will jump to a random reel position for each spin. When a Wild symbol lands on the reel with Razor Split enhancer, it doubles the multiplier that will remain for the remaining Lockdown Spins.

Verdict

Graphics and sound effects do a great job of providing a realistic experience, while the payout potential gives you something to look forward to even with the lack of higher betting options!
