San Quentin 2: Death Row

San Quentin 2: Death Row is again steeped in the dark humor as only Nolimit can bring. Yet you play primarily for the exceptional maximum win called “No Escape” of 200,000 times your stake. You may have to serve the death penalty, but you’ll keep a nice token.

Not only is the maximum payout extreme, so is the volatility. They themselves call it Volatility Insane. The payout percentage is 96.13%. We are curious to see if it is a worthy successor to San Quentin xWays. How San Quentin 2: Death Row comes out of the test, you can read in this slot machine review.

How to play San Quentin 2: Death Row?

As with its predecessor, a lot happens when you play San Quentin 2. Therefore, let’s start from the basics

You play on a playing field with 5 reels that contain 4 rows each. At the top and bottom you can still see Enhancer boxes, but these are closed. With the All Ways Win mechanism, this provides 1,024 Ways to Win. The default bet is $1, but depending on the casino you reduce this to $0.20 and increase it to $100 per spin.

Symbols and payout

The same 5 criminals are back to provide you with payouts between 1.20 and 2 times your stake. In case you don’t know the names yet, they are Beefy (Dick), Heinrich the 3rd, Loco Luis, biker Bill and Crazy Joe, as the profit screens show.

In addition, you will have an empty roll of toilet paper, rubber gloves, dice, a broken comb and a bar of soap as symbols with a payout of 0.20 to 1 times the bet.

Bonus features of San Quentin 2: Death Row

As you have been able to calculate yourself, with the basic features you do not even come close to maximum profit. So if you want a chance to win 200,000 times your bet, read Which bonus features you need to trigger.

Wild Symbols

By playing San Quentin 2: Death Row, you will be able to encounter as many as 3 different Wilds. You have the regular Wild that substitutes for all symbols except Scatters.

In addition, there is a split Wild on the reels. This symbol will split all the others on the reel so that they are worth 2 Win Ways. And then there is the jumping Wild that jumps across your playing field during the bonus game.

With San Quentin 2: Death Row, Nolimit city takes you back to a prison full of serious criminals that can earn you up to 200,000 times your stake.

Enhancer Cell

At the top and bottom of each roll you will see an Enhancer cell. That’s a feature we also encountered in Disturbed. Here you trigger it by spinning a Bonus Scatter on the reel. If you have fewer than three, the extra boxes will open as a consolation prize. Plus the Scatter itself becomes a Wild.

Each Enhancer Cell can display different symbols:

• Wild: a common Wild symbol.
• Razor Split: this splits all symbols on the reel in two.
• xWays: adds the same symbol to the reel 5 times.
• Prisoner: one of the 5 criminals.

If you manage to get both above and below an xWays, the reel will be filled with 10 Wilds. And every time you split a Wild, it will also split all the boxes of the same row.

Green Mile Spins

By collecting 3 Bonus Scatters, these do not become Wilds, but trigger the Green Mile Spins. First you get the choice to gamble. For this you put 5 of the 8 Free Spins at stake, but you can win an extra jumping Wild. This is your chance to win the Gamble.

When you start the Green Mile Spins, you get 8 spins (or 3 if you lost the Gamble). First you get another spider that determines which criminal gets a Multiplier. This will receive a Multiplier that is at least as high as the number of open reels.

During the bonus round, each jumping Wild chooses a new position at the start of the spin. If you can split them with a Razor Split, they get a Multiplier that doubles and stays until the end of the round.

If you manage to get a bonus Scatter on a reel with closed Enhancer cells, the Scatter becomes a Jumping Wild and you open the cells. With 2, 3, 4 or 5 Scatters you even get 3, 4, 5 or 6 extra spins.
