Folsom Prison summary

Step behind the iron bars of one of the harshest correctional facilities in this gritty release by Nolimit City. Starting with a restricted 2-2-2-2 grid and 16 ways to win, the setup can expand dramatically to a massive 4-6-6-6-4 layout as you try to survive the yard. You can brave these tough conditions and play for free right here on our site. Smuggle in something sharp and prepare to witness cold blooded inmates navigating a truly brutal environment.

Base Game Mechanics and Features

The tension in the base game builds through locked positions and unpredictable modifiers that open up the restricted reels. Normal wilds substitute for paying symbols, but you will also encounter crawling Cockroach Nests that spawn and scurry across the board to unlock closed cells. Landing two scatter symbols triggers special transformations, turning them into standard wilds, cockroach nests, or proprietary engines. These engines include the xWays symbol, which transforms into a standard paying symbol while increasing the number of win ways, and the xSplit modifier, which divides anything it touches to double your potential routes to a payout. If you want to force the action, activating the xBet option guarantees a scatter on the second reel for an increased cost.

Bonus Rounds and Free Spins

Breaking out requires landing three or more scatter symbols to initiate the main escape plans. Hitting exactly three scatters triggers at least eight Walk The Line spins, where the tension rises and the grid begins to open further. Securing four scatters places you right in the center of the action by activating The Chair spins, a much heavier tier that also starts with a minimum of eight rounds. Any scatter affected by an xSplit modifier during the trigger will award an additional spin to your total. Because the escalating grid size creates enormous momentum during these escapes, this title is a fantastic choice when you are ready to join a free slot tournament and pit your survival skills against other inmates for real rewards.

Volatility Rating and Potential

Reflecting the unforgiving nature of its theme, this release carries an Insane volatility rating. Payouts can be highly unpredictable, requiring serious patience if you want to reach the absolute maximum payout of 75,000 times your initial wager. Surviving such a punishing mathematical model takes careful bankroll management and a clear understanding of the shifting grid mechanics. By utilizing your Playin coins on our platform, you can learn how the roaches and expanding reels interact in a completely risk free setting before attempting competitive play.

It's been just over a year and a half since we stepped into San Quentin and took part in its explosive slot. A game that, with its hefty dose of suspenseful moments, certainly has kept players enthralled in front of their screens for long periods of time. This time it was time for us to visit another famous prison within the California state, namely the Folsom prison. This game provider really puts a lot of time into creating ingenious features and beautiful design, but they supposedly put just as much time into the music, because wow what a mood you quickly get into when you click into the game. The catchy but slightly darker tunes, help create the perfect touch to the spins, so make sure you turn up the music when you visit this site. The game is peppered with many festive familiar features including xSplit and xWays which can liven up the atmosphere quite a bit. It's a very modest reel setup that you start with and as the symbols pay rather poorly by themself, it's many times hard to generate any notable wins within the base game. Activating the bonus games makes up for some really thrilling spins and never have Cockroaches been loved so much as in this game. Depending on whether you activate Walk the Line or The Chair, you are guaranteed at least 1 and 3 Cockroaches respectively on each spin and these will wander around to sprinkle multipliers to the various symbols. Their wandering patterns are random and sometimes there can be some serious wandering done and thus giant wins can also be created. It will be a feast for the eyes when these deployed multipliers are included in wins, for many times they can also be deployed but lack winning combinations. One has certainly been spoiled lately regarding max wins from this game provider, where their Tombstone RIP can pay up to 300000X the bet, but it must be admitted that a potential MAX WIN of 75000X is really good too. Moreover, the chances of landing this max win are 1 in 6500000 spins, which can be considered very favorable. The game has received a fantastic polish and the excitement is really on point, but many times it really feels like you are depending on activating The Chair for big wins to trickle in. Folsom Prison is a new slot where we visit this infamous prison, where the Cockroaches can be of great help in the hunt for the huge winnings.

The Folsom Prison slot has a lot to live up to considering San Quentin is the game that put Nolimit City on the map. With 150,000 x bet max wins available in San Quentin, Folsom Prison offers half that amount which can be seen as a huge downgrade. However, it will take approximately 6.5 million spins to win whereas San Quentin pays out it’s top award every 10 billion spins. Nolimit City hasn’t tried to upstage San Quentin in terms of max win potential so they’ve created a different experience in terms of gameplay. Folsom Prison focuses on cockroaches which infest the brutal prison in the bonus features. Playing The Chair feature is the obvious draw as 3 cockroaches are guaranteed to land on every free spin as opposed to just 1 in the Walk the Line feature. The former feature also begins with more ways to win offering you a much higher chance of achieving the Meet Your Maker feat (the max win). Whilst San Quentin is probably Nolimit City’s flagship slot, Folsom Prison will give you the same brutal experience with a lesser sentence. It all depends on what time you willing to serve.

Folsom Prison isn’t as attention-grabbing as its beefier predecessor but still delivers a full deck of Nolimit City insanity when it’s got a massive roll on.

Game xMechanics

xWays®

xWays® unlocks unprecedented win potential for players. Usually seen in a fixed Ways game, any xWays symbols that land reveals a stack of the same symbol, increasing the ways available to win, and when working alongside some of the other mechanics available in this series, such as xNudge or xSplit, can pave the way for some huge wins. xWays® first made an appearance in Pixies Vs Pirates, although many players will more likely recognise this mechanic from Punk Rocker, an early 2020 release. Alongside these two releases, xWays has made an appearance in a host of other NolimitCity games, including Dragon Tribe, East Coast vs West Coast, and San Quentin – the early 2021 release which rocked the community with news of a 150,000x maximum win availability.

xSplit®

xSplit® was first made available within xWays Hoarder xSplit, released in July 2021. On this first occasion, xSplit symbols go a long way towards assisting wins through the feature, as any xSplit symbols in view to the right of a Scatter symbol will turn the Scatter into a Super Scatter symbol – which within this release assists in progressing the feature through several levels. However, aside from the progression through bonus levels, xSplit as individual symbols increase win ways during base play. Any xSplit symbol in view will split all symbols to the left of it into two, increasing the ways to win. After this, the xSplit symbols will turn into wilds – for the potential of huge wins.

xBet®

At an extra cost per spin, the player gets an increased chance of getting into the Bonus Modes. The way this happens varies from game to game. The payout for each symbol is not affected.
