San Quentin 2: Death Row Pokie Review

Unlike most prisons where all you have to do is serve time, San Quentin 2: Death Row offers plenty of extras. First, there are the Enhancer Cells offering different boosts. Next, you will look for the Bonus Scatters that trigger free spins.

The Green Mile Spins feature comes with free spins and Jumping Wilds that change positions and carry multipliers. If you reach the No Escape feature, it means that you have landed the maximum payout.

Enhancer Cells

Enhancer Cells is something Nolimit City is famous for. You also have it in the original San Quentin xWays pokie. Enhancer Cells are placed both on the top and the bottom of the reels. Each time you land 1 or 2 Scatters, they will turn into Wilds and will activate Enhancer Cells on the reel the Scatters landed on.

With xWays symbols, you get instances of 1 regular icon 5 high stacked. The Razor Split will split all symbols on the reel it landed and double their positions. If you get the Razor Split on both the top and bottom Enhancer Cells on the same reel, they will split all symbols twice.

If the Razor Split splits the Scatter, it will turn it into a Wild. Enhancer Cells can also bring you additional Wilds and one of the top 5 high-value regular symbols.

Split Wild

Split Wild appears on every reel. When on the grid, the Split Wild will split all symbols on the reels. However, it does not split itself. Split Wild can prove to be very useful when you want to form winning combos in the base game.

I usually don’t say this at this point, but San Quentin 2: Death Row pokie is awesome when it comes to base game payouts. Thanks to additional features. Both Enhancer Cells and Split Wilds helped me land amazing wins in the base game.

A great deal of base game payouts were 50x and more. My highest base game win was 120x. Frankly, I was amazed by these results.

Green Mile Spins with Jumping Wilds

With 3, 4, and 5 Scatters on the reels, you trigger the Green Mile Spins feature with 1, 2, or 3 Jumping Wilds, respectively. If you want to get more Jumping Wilds, you can gamble 5 free spins to get 1 more Jumping Wilds.

This gamble can end once you get 5 Jumping Wilds or when you lose all free spins. Even when you get the 5th Jumping Wild, you have an option to gamble 5 free spins to get the max win.

Depending on the number of Jumping Wilds you have, you get guaranteed reels with active Enhancer Cells. So, 1 Jumping Wild will get you 3 reels with active Enhancer Cells. With 2 Jumping Wilds, you get 4 reels with active Enhancer Cells. With 3, 4, or 5 Jumping Wilds, you get active Enhancer Cells on all reels.

Now, the 4th and 5th Jumping Wild come with a 2x multiplier. Even if you don’t open all Enhancer Cells before the Green Mile Spins feature begins, you can do it during the feature by landing additional Bonus Scatters. Each time it lands on a reel with the inactive Enhancer Cells, it activates it immediately and turns into a Jumping Wild.

When a Jumping Wild that carries a multiplier lands on a reel with the Razor Split enhancer on it, it will double its multiplier and keep it until the feature ends.

Apart from being awesome, the Green Mile Spins feature is also extremely generous when it comes to payouts. I triggered the feature quite a few times and the average amount won was 200x. My highest payout in the San Quentin 2: Death Row slot occurred in Green Mile Spins and it was around 485x.

No Escape

You would think that this feature is extremely difficult to trigger. The only way to trigger it is to reach the max payout of 200,000x. But, what if I told you that 26 players won 200,000x within the first 24 hours of the game being released?

Not a bad payout, eh? Hopefully, you will be among the lucky ones who can see what the No Escape feature looks like. Unfortunately, I was not.

Nolimit Booster

The xBet, or the Nolimit Booster, is actually the Antebet feature. For a price of 2x the bet, you will have 1 guaranteed Scatter on each spin. For a price of 45x the bet, you will have 2 guaranteed Scatters on every spin.

I usually do not recommend these kinds of features. However, this time I am ready to make an exception. It really works in San Quentin 2: Death Row. In most cases, it was money well spent. Now, even if I don’t trigger the feature, I will get more Wilds that will boost my wins.

Nolimit Bonus

If you opt for the Nolimit Bonus, you can buy the Green Mile Spins with different numbers of Jumping Wilds. Depending on the number of Jumping Wilds, it will cost you between 100x and 2,500x the bet. I tried the 500x option with 2 Jumping Wilds and pocketed around 800x.
