How San Quentin xWays plays
Locked Enhancer Cells sit above and below each reel and open when a bonus symbol lands, revealing a top symbol, a wild, a Razor Split that doubles the symbol positions on the reel, or an xWays symbol. Split Wilds can land on any reel in the base game. Three to five bonus symbols start Lockdown Spins with one to three Jumping Wilds, which move every spin and double their multiplier on Razor Split reels, up to 512x.
Theme: Maximum-security prison. Filed under Crime and heists.

What the figures mean
An RTP of 96.03% is a long-run average across millions of spins. It works out at a house edge of 3.97%, so every £100 staked costs £3.97 on average. A session of 200 spins at £1 stakes £200, and the expected cost of that session is £7.94, although the real result will usually land a long way either side. Work out your own figures.
The provider rates volatility as Extreme (10). That describes how winnings are spread: higher volatility means longer runs with little back and rarer, larger wins. It does not change the average. More on volatility, or see it in a simulation.
Published hit frequency is 34.25%, meaning roughly 34 spins in every 100 return something. Many of those returns are smaller than the stake.
