Nolimit City · 2022 · xWays / lockdown spins
Folsom Prison on a phone
No upright build at all. Turn the phone or you get a rotate prompt, and it wants 2.3 s before the first tap registers.
The phone check
Sideways is the only layout and the buttons are built for it. Fine in two hands, awkward hanging off a pole on the subway. The demo pulls about 10 MB before the first tap registers, which on a poor bar is where the 2.3 s goes. Getting money back out is a separate count and we keep it at cashout.
This title ships in more than one return build
Nolimit City licenses 2 configurations of Folsom Prison. The spread from top to bottom is 2.61 points, which is about C$26 in expected cost per C$1,000 staked. Same reels, same features, different maths.
| Configuration | Return | House edge | Cost per C$1,000 vs the top build |
|---|---|---|---|
| Highest build the studio licenses | 96.08% | 3.92% | baseline |
| Lowest build | 93.47% | 6.53% | C$26 |
How to see which one you are on, in three taps
- Open the demo and tap the burger or the ⓘ in the game's own toolbar, not the casino's.
- Scroll the info panel to the bottom. The return figure is printed in the rules footer.
- Compare it to the table above. If it is not the top row, that is the build you are being served.
123 of the 306 titles on this board carry more than one build, so this is worth doing once per game rather than once ever.
Where it sits on the board
That puts it 269 of 306 on our phone score, which weighs orientation first, then how long you wait, then whether the buttons are a sensible size. It runs 0.2 s over the 2.1 s board median, which you notice on a weak bar.
Across the 32 Nolimit City titles here the median is 1.8 s and 24 render upright.
What the game is
A 2022 release from Nolimit City. Board is 5-6 reel expanding, the mechanic is xWays / lockdown spins. Prison-themed follow-up to San Quentin with razor-split symbols, lockdown free spins and a 75,000x cap.
Swing is very high. Plan the demo around that and not around whatever the first ten spins do. Twenty dollars buys around 100 spins at the C$0.20 floor. Ceiling is 75,000x and it is not going to happen to you.
