Review of Folsom Prison

Storyline and Theme

Folsom Prison is centered around the iconic American penitentiary made famous by Johnny Cash. The game features a grid of barred cells, inside which players will find glum prisoners and emblems. The slot is perfect for Johnny Cash fans and those in search of a somber ambiance.

Graphics, Animations and Sounds

The rhythmic, gloomy soundtrack references the music of Johnny Cash, and the reels land with a metallic clang that brings to mind a prison door slamming. The prison cells and brick watchtowers at either side of the reels create a world of hard time and blues music. The prisoners look world-weary and tough. The graphics and soundtrack combine to immerse players in the game's grim world.

Gameplay

Folsom Prison has 4-6-6-6-4 reel structure after expansions, starting with a 2-2-2-2-0 structure. Wins are earned by matching symbols on adjacent reels from leftmost to rightmost. Players can opt for the Toast Bet feature, which increases their wager by 20%, providing them with a guaranteed Scatter on the second reel.

Wilds, Bonuses, and Free Spins

Two types of Wilds substitute for all paying symbols. Special symbols can open the locked positions on the reels, and the closest locked positions above and below are opened when a Wild, Scatter, xSplit, or xWays symbol lands on an open position. Scatters only appear on the middle two reels during the base game and on the fifth reel only during the Free Spins feature. Landing 3 Scatters during the base game triggers the Walk the Line free spins feature, where players are awarded +2 free spins for landing a Scatter during the feature and +1 spin if the Scatter is affected by xSplits.
