Overview Of Folsom Prison
The wrong crowd can get you into a lot of trouble, in this case, we just got front row seats to witness the brutal scenes at Folsom Prison. Built in 1880 and home to 93 executions to condemned prisoners, it’s one of the harshest prisons to carry out a sentence in. Cold blooded and tough as nails, you’re gonna need to smuggle in something sharp..
Slot Description
Folsom Prison is a 5 reel slot and has a default reel area that starts out as 2222+ and 16 win ways, but that can quickly expand to its full size of 46664.
Scatters can only appear on the middle two rows and reels 2-5 in the base game, and reel 5 in the Walk The Line Bonus. Landing two Scatters in the base game unlocks the middle two rows on reel 5. If only two Scatters land, they will convert into one of the following: xWays, xSplit, Wild, or Cockroach Nest.
There are 2 Wild symbols in the game: Wild and Cockroach Nest. Wild can land on any except reel 1 and will substitute for any paying symbol.
xSplit symbols may only appear on the central 2 rows on reels 2-5 and will split whatever they come in contact with, doubling the number of ways in the process.
xWays can appear anywhere and will transform into a normal playing symbol. Will also increase the number of win ways.
Full of protein and crunch, cockroaches can go anywhere in Folsom, but their nest will always spawn in the open positions on the 3 middle reels or transformed through the Scatter. They’ll get any locked cell open for you!
Third time’s the charm; landing 3 Scatter symbols in the base game will trigger 8+ Walk the Line Spins. Any Scatter symbols affected by xSplits award +1 spin.
Take a seat, landing 4 Scatter symbols in the base game will trigger 8+ The Chair Spins. Any Scatter symbols affected by xSplits award +1 spin. This bonus is roughly 1 in 68 spins.
At a cost of an extra 20%, the player is guaranteed a Scatter symbol on the second reel by activating the Toast Bet lever. This bonus is roughly 1 in 1500 spins.
