Theme –who will you share a cell with?

The Lockdown Loot slot is set in a prison The reels hang against the inside of the prison and you can glimpse a few cells and walkways. We’d have liked to have seen Playtech do more with the theme. Compared to the San Quentin slot by Nolimit City, it’s clear they haven’t paid as much attention to detail.

On the reels, low value symbols include soap, cups, knuckledusters and shivs. The upper half of the paytable is made up of criminals and one in particular has a resemblance of Dog the Bounty Hunter.
The highest paying regular symbol is the prisoner with the red background, who awards you with 8 x your bet for a 5 of a kind combination.

In the main game, the wild symbol appears on 2, 3 and 4. It substitutes for all regular symbols and pays out up to 12 x your stake. It can also appear with a 1, 2 or 3x multiplier value. The scatter is represented by a security camera, and you need 3 of these to trigger the free spins feature.

Shiv	3, 4 or 5 = 0.2, 0.4, or 1 x stake

Lockdown Loot Bonus Features

Lockdown Loot has 2 main bonus features, plus a Bonus Buy option. This includes a Jail Break feature which can clone symbols and a Free Spins feature which comes with multipliers. Read on to learn more about each.

Jail Break Feature

In the base game, the last position of the reels (reel 5, row 4) can appear with a frame around it. When this happens, if any of the high value prisoner symbols land in that position and a counter begins. The counter will eventually stop on a number between 6 to 12,

This number refers to the number of symbols cloned, which are then positioned at random elsewhere on the reels. This can lead to bigger wins, and a new payout is then calculated.

Free Spins Feature

If you land 3, 4 or 5 scatter symbols on the reels, you receive 7, 12 or 20 free spins respectively. Once the free spins review, the frame mentioned above is sticky, remaining for the entirety of the round.

If a prisoner symbol lands in the frame during free spins, you receive 2 extra free spins. What’s more, all instances of that symbol transform into sticky wilds for the remainder of the feature. This can happen until you’ve received a maximum of 35 free spins in total.

If a sticky wild is created on a reel with a wild already in it, a multiplier of 2x is applied to the new wild. If a wild symbol is then created on a reel with a 2x wild on it, a 3x multiplier is added to the new wild.

Bonus Buy Feature

If you’re playing from outside the UK, you have a Bonus Buy option which gives you immediate entry to the free spins round. You can buy 7, 12 or 20 free spins, which cost 60.6, 135.8 or 199.4 x bet respectively.

Lockdown Loot Slot Review Summary — wins aren’t as criminal as expected

Whilst we first thought the Lockdown Loot slot could be about the coronavirus pandemic, even now we knew the theme, we still think it doesn’t do justice to its title. The graphics are ok at best and a little boring at worst.

In terms of gameplay, the Jail Break feature has good potential, but as it’s only triggered at random, it’s very hit and miss. The main action unfolds during free spins, when sticky wilds and multipliers can combine to bring bigger wins. That said, as the spins have a cap at 35, and the multipliers max out at 3x, it’s not as rewarding as it first seems.

Overall, Lockdown Loot is an average slot that might be worth a spin to some players. For others who want a bit more excitement, there are definitely better examples of this theme around.
