Special Symbols and Features

TOAST BET

By increasing the stake by 20%, the player is guaranteed to receive a Scatter symbol on the second reel. All regular symbol payouts remain unchanged.

WILD
The game features two Wild symbols: Wild and Cockroach Nest. The standard Wild can appear on any reel except the first. It replaces all regular paying symbols to help complete winning combinations.

xWAYS

xWays symbols can land on any reel. When triggered, an xWays symbol transforms into a regular paying symbol and expands to reveal 2–4 identical symbols, increasing the total number of win ways. In addition, xWays unlocks one position directly above and one directly below on the same reel.

xSplit

xSplit symbols appear only on the two central rows of reels 2–5. They split the entire row to double win ways and transform into two Wilds. Split Scatters grant +1 extra spin and unlock more positions, while splitting a Cockroach Nest increases its multiplier by one.

REEL AREA

The game uses a 4-6-6-6-4 row layout across 5 reels, with several locked positions that can be unlocked by special symbols or the Cockroach feature. Only unlocked positions contain active symbols. In the base game, the two middle rows on the first four reels are active, while all other positions remain locked. During the two bonus modes, additional positions are unlocked at the start of the feature. Whenever a Wild, Scatter, xSplit, or xWays lands on an active position, it unlocks the nearest locked spots above and below on that same reel.

SCATTER

Scatters can appear only on the middle two rows of reels 2–5 in the base game, and exclusively on reel 5 during the Walk The Line bonus. Landing 2 Scatters in the base game unlocks the middle two rows on reel 5. If exactly 2 Scatters land, they transform into one of the following: xWays, xSplit, Wild, or Cockroach Nest. Landing 3 or 4 Scatters in the base game activates the bonus features — Walk The Line for 3 Scatters and The Chair for 4 Scatters.

WALK THE LINE

Landing 3 Scatter symbols in the base game awards 8 or more Walk The Line spins. If a Scatter is affected by an xSplit, it grants +1 additional spin. During Walk The Line, landing a Scatter on reel 5 awards +2 spins (+1 extra if split) and upgrades any remaining Walk The Line spins into The Chair spins. Each spin begins with the central 2-4-4-4-2 rows unlocked and at least one guaranteed Cockroach.

THE CHAIR

Landing 4 Scatter symbols in the base game awards 8 or more The Chair spins. If a Scatter is split by xSplit, it grants +1 additional spin. Each spin begins with the central 4-4-4-4-4 rows unlocked and includes a minimum of 3 guaranteed Cockroaches.

COCKROACH

Cockroaches can appear anywhere in Folsom, while their Nest will always spawn in open positions on the three middle reels or be created from a transformed Scatter. Any locked cell a Cockroach enters becomes unlocked. Each Cockroach starts in a position that is replaced by a Wild, then climbs upward across the reels, adding its multiplier to every symbol it passes. If multiple Cockroaches land on the same position at the same time, that spot turns into a Wild. During bonus modes, a Cockroach Nest symbol may land:
-It remains inactive until a Cockroach walks over it, after which the Cockroach’s multiplier increases to the next level for the rest of the feature.
-A Cockroach can be upgraded up to 3 times. Multiplier levels are 1, 2, 3, and 10.
-If the Nest contains 2 eggs, it upgrades one Cockroach by one level and also creates an additional copy of that Cockroach for the remainder of the bonus. This can happen only once per bonus round.
Cockroaches retain their multipliers if Walk The Line upgrades into The Chair spins.

MEET YOUR MAKER

The maximum win in the game is capped at 75,000x the base bet. If total winnings exceed this limit during a round, the game ends immediately and the full 75,000x payout is awarded.

How to Play Folsom Prison

Folsom Prison runs on a $0.20 minimum bet and up to €100 maximum stake. Players can activate the Toast Bet for +20% to guarantee a Scatter on reel 2. The base game starts with the central rows active while surrounding cells remain locked. Special symbols such as Wild, Scatter, xWays, or xSplit open adjacent locked positions, expanding the grid from 16 up to 3456 win ways. Winning combinations are formed by matching symbols across consecutive reels. High-paying inmate characters deliver up to 2.5x for five of a kind, while card ranks provide smaller multipliers. Because volatility is marked as insane, sessions may experience long dry spells followed by sudden explosive wins. Landing 3 Scatters activates Walk The Line with 8+ spins and one guaranteed Cockroach per spin. Landing 4 Scatters activates The Chair with 8+ spins and at least 3 Cockroaches per spin. Cockroaches move upward across reels adding multipliers to symbols they pass. xWays symbols expand into 2–4 stacked symbols of the same type, increasing win ways. xSplit symbols double the row and also split into two Wilds. The maximum payout is capped at 75,000x the base bet. If the total win exceeds this amount, the round ends and the cap is awarded. This slot is clearly designed for high-risk, high-reward players who enjoy extreme swings and mechanical depth.

Folsom Prison – Brutal, chaotic, and insanely volatile

So I grabbed 100 FS, no deposit, and decided to throw them into Folsom Prison… and wow, this thing is not messing around.
First impression? Gritty prison vibe, rough inmate portraits, locked cells everywhere. It feels tense from the first spin. You can literally see the reels waiting to open up.
The base game was dry at first. A few small hits like 0.5x and 0.9x from card symbols. Nothing crazy. Then suddenly I landed the top inmate for 5 of a kind — 2.5x. Not huge, but the adrenaline already kicked in.
Then boom — 3 Scatters. Walk The Line activated. My heart actually started pounding. Spins felt wild with Cockroaches climbing the reels and opening cells. One spin stacked up enough connections to push past 15x in a single hit. That insane volatility is real — it feels dead until it explodes.
I didn’t hit anything near the 75,000x cap obviously, but the swings were intense. Long silence… then sudden chaos.
Would I play again? Absolutely. But only with a bonus or free spins. This one is pure madness — not for the faint-hearted.
