A happy prison sounds like something dreamed up by someone who’s never actually beenlocked in a room before. Imagine mandatory group yoga at sunrise, a warden who insists on positive affirmations over the loudspeaker, and inmates arguing over who gets the last kale smoothie in the cafeteria.

Your sentence isn’t measured in years, but in how many gratitude journals you’ve filled out, and solitary confinement has been rebranded as “me time”.

That’s what popped into my head when I heard Truelab had released its Happy Prison slot. I was way off. Instead, it’s a hellscape where every creature of dreams and happiness is a hardened criminal ready to shank you.

Welcome to C Block, inmate!

Betting on the Happy Prison slot starts at just $0.20 a spin and tops out at $40 per spin. The slot’s 10,000x max multiplier means that if you are betting at $40 a spin, you’ll have a shot at winning up to $400,000.

The slot features high volatility, ensuring that you won’t be able to rely on small, consistent wins as you chase rarer, larger ones. The expected RTP is 96.07%.

A round of the slot’s free spins feature is triggered when 3, 4, 5, or 6 scatter symbols land anywhere on the reels, awarding 10, 12, 14, or 16 free spins, respectively.

Each scatter that appears during free spins will award one additional free spin.

There is also no cap on the number of spins that can be awarded.

While during base game play, wilds don’t carry any modifiers, during a round of free spins, each one carries a 2x or 3x multiplier, which is applied to any winning combination they’re involved in.

Additionally, when multiple wild multipliers are involved in the same winning combination, they’re first multiplied by each other before being applied to your winning amount.

Super Scatters that appear during a round of free spins remove a single low-paying symbol from the reels for the remainder of the feature. If three Super Scatters land simultaneously, three low-paying symbols are removed at once.

The slot includes a bonus buy feature that allows you to purchase a standard round of free spins for 100x your bet.

The Super Bonus free spins cost 200x your bet, while the Total Frenzy
free spins are priced at 500x your bet.

Are the inmates of the Happy Prison slot in need of some happy pills?

The Happy Prison slot is some nightmare-inducing stuff, in the best way possible. It’s certainlynot like anything I’ve seen before, which in today’s world is not something you can say aboutmany slots.

The bonus features do let it down a little, being mostly generic and not all thatplentiful. That said, what is there is solid. Overall, I give the Happy Prison slot a nine out of ten.

If you’re looking for a few other fun TrueLab slots to try out, I recommend Egg Inc. and Succubus Sins.
