San Quentin demo slot

The home and theme of this slot is the infamous San Quentin prison in California USA. In this department of corrections and rehabilitation state prison, you'll find some of the most dangerous inmates in the U.S. These can be seen pacing in their cells at the top and bottom of the games reels. It's the background to those reels that really sets the scene though, as you gaze out into a courtyard that's surrounded by CCTV, barbed wire and lookout towers. 

As we look in more detail at the paytable, we see that the lower value symbols are represented by prison paraphernalia, with these being toilet roll, handcuffs, a shiv, a lighter and a bar of soap. The higher paying symbols come in the form of the games characters who are Beefy Dick, Loco Luis, Heinrich 3rd, Biker Bill and Crazy Joe, where pays ranging from 2.5x up to 5x can be awarded for a 5 of a kind win. 

Spinning the reels on San Quentin doesn't have to be a particularly expensive affair, and the action can begin for as little as €0.20, with the max stake on the game reaching €32. If you are in a region where you can still buy the bonus on a slot, then staking options can soon reach a whole new level. There are 3 tiers of feature buy available to you that come in 100x stake, 400x stake and 2,000x stake. 

The gameplay kicks off on San Quentin with a default reel format of 5 reels and 3 symbols high. This works out to 243 active paylines. This of course can be increased, due to the impressive xWays mechanic and various modifiers that we have seen on previous Nolimit City slots such as Punk Rocker. Below we have highlighted the additional ways that the paylines can be increased within the game.

• xWays Symbols - These will all reveal the same pay symbol, stacked four high.
• Razor Splits - This will double the amount of symbols on the reel. Twice if there are Razor Spilts on both Enhancer Cells.
• Wild Symbol - Will substitute for all pay symbols. 
• Split Wild - This can land on any reel, and will double the amount of symbols on that reel.
• Enhancer Cells - At the top and bottom of each reel you will note there are cells with inmates inside. If a bonus symbol lands on a reel then it will unlock the cells for that reel to reveal 1 of the 5 top paying symbols, a wild, Razor Split, or the xWays symbol.

San Quentin free spin feature

The scatter symbols on San Quentin come in the form of the guards watchtower. Landing 3, 4, or 5 of these will award you with the Lockdown Free Spins, where you will start with 1, 2, or 3 jumping wilds respectively. Before we get on to those though, there are a couple of other points that we need to cover first.

Whichever of the reels the scatters landed on to trigger the bonus, their respective Enhancer Cells will open, and remain open for the duration of the bonus. The next stage of the feature sees the triggering reels spin to reveal on them either 1, 2, or 3 mystery convicts. At the end of this spin, the amount that has landed will be tallied up, one of the five convicts will be awarded to you, and the amount will be applied to that symbol as a multiplier value. 

You're nearly ready to go, you just need some free spins now. The amount you are awarded with is decided by the top and bottom of your enhancer cells spinning to reveal either 1, 2, or 3. These are again all tallied up, and that amount will be your starting free spin total. 

Once you have completed all of that pre bonus admin, then the free spins will begin. In essence very little changes from the base game, but you do now have a convict with a multiplier in play, and also the jumping wild(s) that will move position at the start of every spin.

Furthermore, the jumping wilds have a chance to have a multiplier attached to them. This occurs when a wild lands on a reel that is displaying a Razor Split Symbol. It will double its value with a maximum multiplier of 512x being able to be reached. The 512 isn't actually the multiplier that will be applied to a win, it represents the amount of wild positions that the symbol holds. So either way, if it's involved in a win then its got the potential to be big. 

Keep a look out for additional bonus symbols landing during the free spins. If they do then not only will they award extra free spins, they will also turn into another jumping wild. 

Nolimit City make some of the most highly volatile slots that we have seen, such as Book of Shadows and the excellent Deadwood. San Quentin though takes the words high volatility to a whole new level, and with the top prizes of 150,000x, you can see why this game is going to raise a few eyebrows. 

Bonus buys are now of course banned in the UK, which may be a little disappointing for some players. But those who are able to purchase the free spins, will surely have to tread with care if deciding to take a risk on the 2000x feature buy. Overall though, this is again something very special from Nolimit City, who continually push the boundaries and really do live up to their name.
