About this Slot
The Yard is a money and crime-themed slot from Shortcut Gaming with an RTP of 96.7%, high volatility and a maximum win of 25,000x. The game features a 6x6 cluster pays grid where five matching symbols adjacent horizontally or vertically form a winning cluster.
Winning symbols shatter and new symbols cascade down, with wins continuing as long as matches form. Cell multipliers occupy board positions and double after each win, starting at 2x and capping at 4096x. Charges trigger only within winning clusters and shatter a surrounding 3x3 area to create chain reactions; two charge types deliver different board effects.
Roll Call awards 12 free spins when three Sirens land. Multipliers earned during the base game persist across the entire bonus round. Night Watch is triggered by four Sirens and awards 15 free spins, starting with seven cells at 2x-8x multipliers. Lockdown awards 18 free spins from five Sirens, with all cells starting at 2x-8x multipliers. Jailbreak is triggered by six Sirens, awarding 25 free spins with all cells starting at 4x-16x multipliers and guaranteeing only Flashbang charges.
The Shakedown buy costs 3x stake and guarantees one charge per spin while boosting bonus trigger frequency. Contraband costs 4x stake for faster bonus access but cannot trigger Roll Call. Yard Riot costs 40x stake and awards 10 free spins with a fresh board each spin and 12 random multipliers. Riot Squad costs 80x stake and awards 14 free spins with a guaranteed minimum of two charges per spin. Mystery Cell costs 100x stake and triggers one random bonus outcome from Roll Call, Night Watch, Lockdown or Jailbreak. Siren Storm costs 150x stake and awards 10 free spins with a fresh board each spin, 4x-16x multipliers, one cell guaranteed at 128x and guaranteed Flashbang charges. Max Security costs 200x stake and delivers one random top-tier bonus from Night Watch, Lockdown or Jailbreak only.
