Inside the Lockdown
The bonus game is where legends are made. From Jumping Wilds to massive multipliers, here is everything you need to know to hit the max win.
How to Trigger Lockdown Spins
To enter the Lockdown Spins, you need to land 3, 4, or 5 Bonus Symbols anywhere on the reels during the base game.
- 3 Scatters Start with 1 Jumping Wild
- 4 Scatters Start with 2 Jumping Wilds
- 5 Scatters Start with 3 Jumping Wilds (Max Potential)
Key Bonus Mechanics
Jumping Wilds
These Wilds stay on the screen for the entire bonus round. They jump to a new random position with every spin. If a Jumping Wild lands on a reel with a Razor Split, its multiplier doubles (up to 512x).
Razor Split
When an Enhancer Cell reveals a Razor Split, it splits all symbols on that reel into two. If you get multiple splits, the number of winning ways explodes into the millions.
Mystery Inmate
Before the bonus starts, a random high-paying inmate symbol is selected. This symbol receives a multiplier, further boosting potential payouts when it connects with Wilds.

How to hit the Max Win (150,000x)
To achieve the legendary 150,000x payout, you almost certainly need to be in the Lockdown Spins with 3 Jumping Wilds active. The dream scenario involves:
- Unlocking all Enhancer Cells.
- Jumping Wilds landing on reels with Razor Splits multiple times to maximize their multipliers (up to 512x).
- Connecting these high-multiplier Wilds with the top-paying inmate symbol (Beefy Dick).
* In San Quentin 2: Death Row, the max win is increased to 200,000x, achieved through similar mechanics but with the addition of xSplit 2.0.
