Folsom Prison Pokie Review

The Folsom Prison pokie has numerous bonus features. There are xWays and xSplit symbols, which transform symbols, enhance the number of winning ways, and add multipliers. Cockroaches play an important role in the game since they open locked cells, giving you more chances to win and come with multipliers.

xWays feature

The xWays symbol can appear on any reel. When the xWays function is activated, it transforms into a standard paying symbol and reveals 2 to 4 symbols of the same type. Consequently, the number of winning ways increases. Moreover, xWays symbols open one symbol above and one below the reel they appear on.

xSplit feature

xSplit symbols will only appear in the two middle rows on reels 2–5. The symbols trigger the xSplit feature. xSplit symbols split the entire row on which they land, doubling the number of possibilities to win. The xSplit symbol also splits into two wild symbols. Finally, Split Scatters award you an additional free spin when you activate a bonus feature and unlock additional locked cells. When Cockroach Nest wilds split, their multipliers increase by one.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches are high in protein, but multiply rapidly in the Folsom Prison pokie. They appear on the three middle reels and open locked cells, increasing your chances of winning. A cockroach has an initial location that is replaced by a wild. If the cockroach walks above the reels, it multiplies whatever symbol it passes. Cockroaches in the same position at the same time will make that position crazy.
In the bonus features, the reels may see a Cockroach Nest wild symbol land. It will remain dormant until a Cockroach symbol walks on it, at which point its multiplier is upgraded to the next level for the duration of the feature. A cockroach upgrade can occur up to three times, with multiplier levels reaching 1X, 2X, 3X and 10X.

If the cockroach has two eggs, it upgrades one cockroach one level while simultaneously cloning one more cockroach for the duration of the feature. This can only happen once each bonus feature triggers. Finally, the cockroaches retain their multipliers when the Walk the Line feature is upgraded to The Chair Spins feature.

Walk the Line

Landing three scatter symbols results in eight Walk the Line free spins. Each play in this bonus begins with the reels in a 2-4-4-4-2 configuration, and at least one Cockroach is guaranteed. Landing a scatter during the feature activates additional free spins and changes the round to The Chair

The Chair

Landing Four scatters in the base game trigger eight The Chair free spins. In this round, the grid begins in a 4-4-4-4-4 pattern, with at least three cockroaches guaranteed.

Folsom Prison includes a Nolimit Bonus feature. This enables you to purchase your way into a specific bonus feature. Click the yellow Star button to activate the feature that gives you five alternatives, ranging from 68 to 1,500 times your total stake.

Toast Bet Feature
