San Quentin Online Slot

San Quentin

At least that's how Nolimit has chosen to portray an escape attempt from San Quentin. Hard-hitting criminals are responsible for the biggest wins on this online slot, and Nolimit has definitely not been stingy on the cash prizes. With one of the biggest jackpots we've seen on a traditional slot machine, packed with bonus features and opportunities to buy free spins, it's no wonder that San Quentin has become one of NoLimit's most popular slot machines of all time!

The slot machine also has an exciting layout with options for extended reels when landing wild symbols or other bonus symbols in the game. It all starts with a traditional 5x 3 layout, but 2 more rows (one above and below the reels) can be added to give you additional win opportunities.

In total, you can win on 5000 pay lines, and they are quite well paid in the main game as well, which we will go into more detail about in due course. But for us, it is both originality and the win potential that are important elements to break through in this online slot market. NoLimit tick all the boxes when it comes to San Quentin, with both an exciting theme and a huge jackpot to collect!

How to play San Quentin

As mentioned earlier, San Quentin has many surprises lurking, with expanding reels and exciting bonus features along the way. But to get started, we will take a closer look at the stakes in the game.

You start by choosing a bet by clicking on the dollar sign below the reels. Here you will find 20 different stakes from €0.2-32 per spin, which gives you good opportunities to increase the bet progressively while you play. In the main game, you will find 10 different symbols with fairly similar payouts. But the advantage is that they pay both ways. This feature is one of the reasons why slots like Starburst are popular, which gives you twice as many opportunities to win on every spin.

The highest-paid symbols are 5 criminals who look like they've been locked up in San Quentin for far too long, so it's time you help them get out to get some fresh air. This gang of criminals pay out from 2.5 to 5 x stake if you hit 5 of a kind, and of course even more if you fill up the reels with one of these thugs.

In fact, the jackpot is a staggering 150,000x times your stake, which is completely unheard of on regular slot machines if it is not a progressive jackpot game. In addition to a good RTP of over 96%, gives San Quentin certainly an edge over many other slots on the market today. But to win such a huge prize, of course, it takes several bonus features to hit simultaneously. We will go through all the extra features on San Quentin and what you can expect from free spins and other fun stuff!

Bonus features on San Quentin

For those who are wondering, it is during free spins that you can run off with the infamous jackpot on this slot machine of 150,000x your stake. You can buy free spins rounds on San Quentin, but this is very expensive.

• Under bonus features at San Quentin, you get far more pay lines and chances to win than in the main game. You can get up to 5000 pay lines that pay both ways if you are lucky when you start free spins. Normally you don't have more than around 600 pay lines in play, so almost 9x more is a huge upgrade.
• Jumping Wilds is called one of the main features you pay. These change position for each spin you get, and you get a total of 10 spins when you buy a bonus round on the slot.
• The most expensive variant is 10 free spins and 3 Jumping Wilds that help you land more winnings. But after several attempts, the cost is quite high compared to what you get. In fact, you have to shell out 2000x your stake to get 3 jumping wilds on the screen. They could have given at least 2 or 3 more for that price.

But overall, the bonus rounds are very lucrative if you manage to trigger them yourself with the scatter symbol. You must have at least 3 scatter on the reels to trigger "LockDown Spins" which is a feat in itself... This takes time.

In our opinion, there is no such thing as a free meal. But still, there is 150,000x to collect if you get lucky, so it might be worth at least one go.

Fortunately, there are also other fun features in the main game that can help you get more bang for your bucks such as the wild symbol and something called split a symbol. The latter splits the symbol it is close to and can count as 2 instead of 1 symbol and provide additional winning opportunities.

San Quentin Conclusion

NoLimit has definitely gotten a lot of praise from players around the world with San Quentin. Perhaps the best game they have ever produced. With an exciting theme, hard-hitting heavy metal in the background, and an insane jackpot to hunt for, this will probably be one of our favourites for a long time to come.

But our assessment is to be cautious in purchasing the bonus rounds on this one and rather try to trigger bonus rounds in the game. The cost is far too great in relation to what you can achieve normally in the bonus rounds. But if you want to bet on a "lucky shot" and go for a round of free spins to get a chance at 150,000x stake, then we understand that. There are far worse slot machines out there with bonus purchases that do not come close to the same win potential.

All in all, the gameplay is entertaining and offers lots of action along the way while you play. So Nolimit has really put a lot of focus on getting all the details right on this game, which is guaranteed to keep you entertained for hours. But remember to set a sober budget in the beginning and persevere for a long time to trigger free spins, then something good usually comes to those who wait.
