Special Features & Slot Mechanics
What is the max win in the slot of In and Out?
The max win is 12,086X the bet.
What features are available in the slot of In and Out?
The features of this slot game are Avalanche, Wild Symbol, Expanding Reels, Heist Mode, Free Spins, and Elevate (Feature Buy).
Avalanche
The Avalanche is activated when a win is created, and the winning symbols are removed from the reels. New symbols fall from above and allow new winning combinations; this will continue as long as new winning combinations are created.
Whenever symbols are removed by an Avalanche, their reel positions are highlighted in bronze. Creating an additional win on the highlighted positions upgrades them to silver, gold, and then finally diamond.
Wild Symbol
The Wild Symbol substitutes all symbols except the Scatter, Bombs, and Chloe Symbols and helps you create winning combinations.
Expanding Reels
This feature can be triggered by landing a Bomb Symbol on the reels, which then explodes and removes itself from the reels. When it explodes, it removes all regular-paying symbol types, triggering an Avalanche.
If a Bomb Symbol appears on the edge of the game grid, the reels or rows expand in that direction, increasing the game grid and boosting the win potential before the following Avalanche.
If the Bomb lands in the corner of the game grid, both an extra row and an extra reel are added. The maximum game grid size is 8x7 for each spin.
Heist Mode
This feature can be triggered if a Chloe Symbol and a highlighted area are present on the reels after the spin is complete, awarding 3 spins. Chloe starts the heist in the highlighted area, and both Scatter Symbols remain on the reels during this feature.
Whenever a Extra Life Symbol land in view, it award +1 additional spin. During the Heist Mode, only Coin, Diamond, Bonus, and Heist Symbols can appear. Whenever a Coin, Diamond, or Multiplier lands in view, they remain on the reels until the Heist Mode has ended.
Symbols can land with the following value:
Bronze Coins = 0.5X, 1X, 1.5X, or 2X the bet.
Silver Coins = 4X, 6X, 8X, or 10X the bet.
Gold Coins = 15X, 20X, 25X, or 30X the bet.
Diamond = 50X, 100X, 200X, or 1,000X the bet.
The following Special Symbols can land on the Bronze, Silver, or Gold positions:
Multiplier = Can appear with a value of 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X, which is applied to all Coins, Diamonds, and Collector Symbols at the end of the feature.
Upgrader = Upgrade adjacent positions to the next level/tier. For example, upgrading Bronze positions to Silver positions. It also includes upgrading Scatter Symbols into Super Scatter Symbols. Affected positions that weren’t part of the Heist mode become part of it, highlighted as bronze positions. The Upgrader also upgrades the affected Coin Symbols to the next tier.
Burst = The Burst Symbol can land as bronze, silver, or gold. It will upgrade a random number of un-highlighted positions to the same tier/level as the respective Burst Symbol. If it affects positions outside the play area, it expands the play area. If a Burst and Upgrader land simultaneously, they are combined and cause a blast.
Extra Life = Awards one additional Heist Mode spin and is then removed from the reels.
Collector = Gathers the value of all Coins, Diamonds, and other Collectors. Remains in play while the collected symbols are removed.
The Heist Mode feature ends when no more spins remain, awarding the cash value in view.
Free Spins
This feature can be triggered by landing 3 Scatter or Super Scatter Symbols during the Base Game, awarding 5 Free Spins. However, for every extra triggering Super Scatter Symbol, granting +1 additional Free Spin. You can retrigger the feature by landing 1 or 2 Scatter Symbols, granting +1 or +2 Free Spins.
Here, the grid size and highlighted positions from the Base Game are carried over and remain until the Heist Mode is triggered.
If the Super Free Spins are activated, it starts with the maximum grid size and is played with the same mechanics as the regular Free Spins.
Elevate (Feature Buy)
If you want to take advantage of the Bonus Games immediately, you can use the Feature Buy options:
Bonus Hunt = Activate the Bonus Hunt for an extra cost of 50% of your bet, increasing the chance of triggering the Free Spins. Played with an RTP of 96.04%.
5X (Guaranteed Chloe Symbol) = The Chloe Symbol appears in each spin, increasing the chance of triggering the Heist Mode with an RTP of 96.09%.
20X (Heist Mode ON) = Heist Mode is activated with 3 positions of the Bronze tier highlighted area. Played with an RTP of 96.05%.
100X (Tomb Service) = Activates Free Spins with an RTP of 96.09%.

Final Thoughts on In and Out
No one can light a cigarette as casual and cool as a French girl sitting on a balcony, looking out into the Paris night. Here, we meet Chloe, the calm but skillful thief ready to execute a high-pressure heist with the help of darkness and moonlight. We often highlight the importance of a good soundtrack, helping us stay engaged and intrigued, and this is exactly what NetEnt has done, presenting an awesome reggae-inspired soundtrack that kept us bobbing our heads while testing the game.
Looking at the game, its highlighted positions and revealing coin mechanic is obviously inspired by the popular Le series from Hacksaw Gaming, with releases such as Le Cowboy and Le Fisherman. However, In and Out can offer its own twist, which is Expanding Reels and a fresh Hold & Win mechanic whenever the Heist Mode is activated, adding another layer to an already working gameplay. We created good wins while the Heist Mode was triggered, offering Diamonds up to 1,000X the bet as the highest value. Even though the provider included Special Symbols such as Collected, Multiplier, and Upgraders, they didn’t appear as frequently as we’d have liked. Turning up the frequency would’ve boosted the win potential even more, but when they do hit, it makes the max win of 12,086X the bet believable.
Overall, even though NetEnt is inspired by games like Le Bandit from Hacksaw Gaming, they have added their own “Hold & Win” mechanic, making this game stand out and create a lasting impression. Lastly, the design and overall vibe impressed us, showing why NetEnt belongs at the very top of the industry.
In and Out is a slot where you join Chloe, the cool thief, on a high-end heist, offering familiar gameplay with a fresh twist to make is memorable experience.
