Reel Area

The 5 reels are set up in a 4-6-6-6-4 row pattern, with several positions locked and unlocked by special symbols or the Cockroach symbol. Only symbols in unlocked positions are active. At the start of the main game, the 2 middle rows on the first 4 reels are active, the remaining positions are locked. In the two bonus modes, additional positions are unlocked when they are triggered. When a Wild, Scatter, xSplit or xWays symbol lands on an unlocked position, it unlocks the nearest locked positions above and below on the corresponding reel.

Toast Bet

By paying an extra 20%, the player will receive a guaranteed Scatter symbol on the second reel. This does not affect the payout for each symbol.

Wild

The game features 2 Wild symbols: Wild and Cockroach Nest. The Wild symbol appears on any reel except reel 1. The Wild symbol replaces any paid symbol.

Scatter

Scatters appear only on the middle 2 rows on reels 2-5 in the base game and only on reel 5 during the Walk The Line bonus. Landing 2 Scatters in the base game unlocks the middle 2 rows on reel 5. Landing only 2 Scatters transforms them into one of the following symbols: xWays, xSplit, Wild or Cockroach Nest. 3 or 4 Scatters in the base game activate the Walk The Line or The Chair bonus modes respectively.

Walk The Line

Landing 3 Scatter symbols in the main game will trigger 8 more Walk the Line spins. Any Scatter symbols affected by an xSplit symbol will award an extra spin. Landing a Scatter symbol during the Walk the Line round (only available on reel 5) will award 2 more spins (1 extra spin if split) and all subsequent Walk the Line spins will be upgraded to The Chair spins. At the start of each spin, rows of 2-4-4-4-2 are unlocked and 1 Cockroach symbol is guaranteed.

The Chair

Landing 4 Scatter symbols in the base game triggers 8 more spins of The Chair. Any Scatter symbols affected by an xSplit symbol award an additional spin. At the start of each spin, rows of 4-4-4-4-4 are unlocked and 3 Cockroach symbols are guaranteed.

Cockroach

Cockroaches symbols can move freely around the Folsom prison grounds, but their hideouts will appear in unlocked positions on the 3 middle reels or transform from Scatter symbols. Any locked cell that a Cockroach symbol occupies will be revealed. The Cockroach symbol’s starting position is replaced by a Wild symbol. The Cockroach symbol then moves across the reels, adding a multiplier to any symbol it passes over. Cockroaches occupying the same positions during a spin will transform it into a Wild.

The Cockroach Nest symbol can appear on the reels during bonus modes:

• It is inactive until a Cockroach symbol passes through it. The Cockroach symbol will also upgrade its multiplier to the next level for the rest of the feature.
• The Cockroach symbol can be upgraded a maximum of 3 times. The available multiplier levels are 1, 2, 3 and 10.
• If it contains 2 eggs, it will upgrade the Cockroach symbol by one level and also clone another Cockroach symbol for the rest of the feature. This can only happen once during the bonus mode.

The Cockroach symbol multipliers are saved during the Walk The Line upgrade until The Chair spins.

xWays

The xWays symbol can appear anywhere on the reels. The xWays symbols will turn into a regular paid symbol. It will open a symbol of 2-4 sizes and increase the number of winning combinations. The xWays symbols will open 1 symbol at the top and 1 symbol at the bottom of one reel.

xSPLIT

xSplit symbols appear only in the center 2 rows on reels 2-5 of Folsom Prison. xSplit symbols split the entire row they appear on, doubling the number of winning combinations. The symbol itself also splits into 2 Wild symbols. Split Scatters bring an extra spin when the bonus is activated and reveal additional locked cells. When split, the multiplier values of Cockroach Nest symbols increase by one.

Paylines

16-3456 win ways. Folsom Prison slot wins are calculated by multiplying the symbol value in the paytable by the number of winning sequences in the slot machine. Only the highest win on each betting path is paid. A winning combination of the same symbol is paid from left to right on adjacent reels. A malfunction cancels all wins.
