San Quentin

San Quentin xWays is a highly volatile prison-themed online slot from Nolimit City. The game is set against the backdrop of the infamous San Quentin State Prison in California, with a gritty atmosphere featuring concrete walls, barbed wire, surveillance cameras, and guard towers.

The slot plays out on a 5-reel, 243-payline grid that can expand up to 13,189,257,216 ways to win during the bonus features. Symbols on the reels include various prison-related items such as soap, lighters, shivs, handcuffs, and toilet paper rolls, as well as five dangerous inmates: Beefy Dick, Loco Luis, Heinrich 3rd, Biker Bill, and Crazy Joe.

There are two wild symbols in the game: a regular wild that substitutes for all symbols except the scatter, and a Split Wild. When a Split Wild lands, it splits the pay symbols above and below it, doubling their number on that reel.

The Guard Tower symbol acts as the scatter. Landing three, four, or five scatters triggers the Lockdown Spins bonus round with one, two, or three starting Jumping Wilds, respectively. During the bonus, Enhancer Cells above and below the reels can reveal high-paying symbols, wilds, Razor Splits (which double all symbols on the reel), or xWays symbols (which reveal four matching pay symbols).

Jumping Wilds move to random positions on each free spin and can have multipliers applied to them when landing on reels with Razor Splits, up to a maximum of 512x. Landing a bonus symbol during the feature adds another Jumping Wild (up to three total) and awards extra free spins.

San Quentin xWays offers a maximum win potential of 150,000x the bet, which is one of the highest in any non-progressive slot. Non-UK players can access a bonus buy feature with three options, costing 100x, 400x, or 2,000x the bet for three, four, or five scatter triggers, respectively.
