The game by Relax Gaming is from high to very high volatility, meaning that you should be from a risky to a very risky person in order to try the teeth of the game. Before we touch on the features section, one more thing to highlight is the retro design of 8-bits, which is used for the game. This is something that never goes out of style, is always welcome, and very fun to see.
Features
The slot game comes with 6 reels and 6 rows. Though, the amount of pay lines is an incredible 46,656. This is exactly why the volatility of the game is very high. The range is from $0.20 to $20. The maximum payout is also very impressive, at 51,840x the stake. This means that you can easily win a lot of money with the single spins if you are lucky and risky enough, of course.
The feature of this game is another reason why you should give it a shot. There will be some combination formed in the game by itself. The combination with three or even more symbols will land on left to right consecutive reels. During this time, it is very easy to form the winning combination as well.
The game can be played in the Mixed or the Lockdown Mode. This is where the game switches from high to very high volatility. It all depends on you, how big of a risk are you willing to take? At this point, the RTP rate of the game can be expected to change slightly as well. It might move from 96,46% to 96,88%.
There is also the wild symbol in the game, which has the W letter on it. It does not have any special skills, besides being a substitute and helping in forming the winning combination time by time.
As already mentioned before there are the Mystery Symbols present in the game as well. They are a bit tricky and can be a bit annoying at some point. They can not be used straight away, yet when used you can win the maximum jackpot instantly. The mystery symbols come with the countdowns on them during the regular spins. For several cascades, they are going to act as a blocker symbol, just occupying the spots on the reels but the patience pays off.
There is one more, Keys feature. This might appear as a regular symbol. The key will bring you from 1 to 10 keys. You need to collect 2000 keys in order to activate the Super Free Spins round. There is no requirement for cascades in this mode, which means that the mystery symbols can be used immediately.
Conclusion
Something new is well-forgotten old they say. This might become the case for this specific game. Relax Gaming offers us the completely new version of the 8-bits retro design of the slot game. There are many old retro symbols present in the game, such as sharks, prison guards, handcuffs, as well as four card suits.
The design is very charming and the game is very appealing as well, as it features the story of the most famous prison in the world, Alcatraz. Yet, be careful as the very high volatility slot can be pretty hard to win.
