Theme, graphics & soundtrack

As the title suggests, this game is set in - or out of - a prison. As the game loads, we see a sinister eagle-eyed large bird acting as the chief prison officer, with fences topped with barbed wire behind him and a big brick building beyond. All lit up and ready to catch out those runaways, the prison and its officers are waiting to retrieve those who have escaped. The scary officer is in full uniform, including a cap, and has his strong, bulky wings crossed in a threatening way! You wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of him, but it seems that you have already by finding yourself on the other side of the big fence and the law. You had better run fast!

Once the reels appear, we enter one of the grotty old prison cells and see a dingy bed, a dirty basin, and a week-old newspaper. The reels are decorated with what seem to be rope ladders and we can see a ventilation tunnel - is this how the escapees made it out of the concrete box and back into the open air? On the reels are a set of symbols we might expect to find around a prison - CCTV cameras, padlocks, handcuffs, posters of faraway places - and a few we might not expect, such as some shady characters with beaks. All the game’s controls have been placed below the reels for clarity and easy access.

Your mission is to dodge all the intelligence and traps laid out by the staff at the prison and to help your inmates get away uncaught! The colourful birds each have their own value. These criminals are wanted enough to be on the front page of the news, as you will see from the unopened paper!

Prison Escape bonus features

Free spins

The scatter symbol is represented by the eagle prison officer with his arms - or wings - crossed. This scary guy only appears on reels one, three and five. Finding three or more of him on the reels will reward you with five free spins. The wild symbol is the set of spotlights and substitutes for all other non-special symbols. During the free spins, this symbol awards another free spin and remains sticky for the duration of the additional feature.

Overall review

With quite a substantial theme, it is easy to be distracted by the story and graphics of Prison Escape; however, once you have worked out who are the goodies and who are the baddies and who are the cops and who are the robbers, you can get on and play with peace of mind because this game has a traditional set-up and is played like most other 5x3 slots. We like the fact that the wild goes sticky during the free spins round, as this can make a big difference to the outcome!
