In and Out

In and Out is a heist-themed video slot developed by NetEnt, released on 18 June 2026. The game follows Chloé, a skilled thief who navigates high-security vaults purely for the thrill of it. Built around a 6x5 grid that can expand up to 8x7, the game combines cascading Avalanche wins with an intricate Heist Mode that functions as a hold-and-spin bonus. This layered structure — where highlighted positions carry over between features and feed into a coin-collect mechanic — sets it apart from standard slot formats.

With medium volatility, a 96.08% RTP, and a max payout of 12,086x the bet, In and Out targets players who enjoy feature-rich gameplay with multiple interconnected systems.

In and Out is set in a sleek, shadow-filled world of luxury and crime. The visual style leans into a cinematic noir aesthetic — dark backgrounds, polished gold and jewel-toned colours, and detailed 3D symbols that fit the heist setting. High-win symbols are premium stolen goods: a jewelled crown, ruby earrings, an emerald ring, a purple gemstone pendant, and a pearl necklace. Low-win symbols include burglary tools such as a grappling hook, crowbar, lockpicks, flashlight, and leather gloves.

Chloé, the game's protagonist, appears as both a symbol and an in-game character who activates the Heist Mode sequence. Animations are polished throughout — Bomb explosions expand the grid dynamically, while the Heist Mode transitions to a focused vault-cracking sequence. Sound design reinforces the tension, with a score that shifts as features activate.

In and Out is played on a 6-reel, 5-row grid using a scattered win system rather than fixed paylines.

• Place your bet: Use the controls to set a stake between €0.20 and €40.00 per spin.
• Spin: Wins are formed when 6 or more matching high-win symbols, or 8 or more matching low-win symbols, appear anywhere on the reels.
• Avalanche: Every win triggers an Avalanche — winning symbols disappear and new ones fall in. This continues until no new wins form.
• Paytable: Access the paytable via the information button to view symbol values and all feature rules.
• Elevate Feature: Before spinning, activate one of five optional paid modifiers to adjust the round's conditions.

Symbol payout values are dynamic and adjust in line with the selected bet value.

Avalanche Feature

Any win triggers an Avalanche: winning symbols are removed, and new symbols drop in to fill the gaps. Wins are re-evaluated after each Avalanche, and the process repeats until no more wins occur. When symbols disappear as part of a scattered win, those positions become highlighted in bronze. Positions can be upgraded across four tiers — Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond — each time a new winning combination includes a highlighted position. Tier levels reset at the start of each new round.

Expanding Reels

Each Bomb symbol that lands explodes and removes itself along with all immediately adjacent symbols (except Bonus, Super Bonus, Wild, and Chloe symbols), triggering an Avalanche. If a Bomb lands on the edge of the grid, the play area expands by an extra reel or row in that direction before the Avalanche resolves. A corner Bomb adds both an extra reel and an extra row. The grid can expand once per direction per round, up to a maximum of 8 reels and 7 rows. The expanded grid resets to the standard 6x5 at the start of the next spin.

Heist Mode

Heist Mode activates when the Chloe symbol appears on a spin that also has highlighted positions on the grid after all Avalanches complete. Heist Mode starts with 3 spins. During each spin, only unoccupied positions within the Heist Mode area spin, and only Coin, Diamond, Bonus, and special Heist Mode symbols can appear. Coins and Diamonds that land remain sticky until the mode ends.

Coin multiplier values by tier: Bronze Coins: x0.5, x1, x1.5, or x2 | Silver Coins: x4, x6, x8, or x10 | Gold Coins: x15, x20, x25, or x30 | Diamonds: x50, x100, x200, or x1,000

Heist Mode ends when the spin counter reaches zero or all positions are filled. All accumulated values are then evaluated and paid.

Heist Mode Special Symbols: Multiplier: Appears with a value of x2, x3, x4, x5, or x10 and multiplies the total of all Coins, Diamonds, and Collectors at the end of Heist Mode. | Upgrader: Upgrades all adjacent positions by one tier. Bonus symbols adjacent to the Upgrader are upgraded to Super Bonus. New positions added this way start at bronze. | Burst: Upgrades a random number of un-highlighted positions to the Burst symbol's own tier level, expanding the Heist Mode area. Can also expand the grid itself. | Blast: Triggered when an Upgrader and a Burst land together. Combines both effects at the higher tier and directly awards coins to all affected empty positions. | Extra Life: Awards one additional Heist Mode spin, then disappears on the next spin. | Collector: Collects the total value of all Coins, Diamonds, and other Collectors in the play area. Remains sticky until a second Collector appears, at which point both disappear.

Bonus Buy Option: Yes — via the Elevate Feature (Heist Mode ON: 20x bet)

Free Spins

Free Spins are triggered when 3 Bonus symbols of any kind land after all Avalanches complete in the main game. The round starts with 5 spins. Each Super Bonus symbol included in the triggering combination awards 1 additional spin. During Free Spins, the grid size and any highlighted positions carry over from the triggering round. Bombs, Heist Mode, and all associated features remain active. Up to 2 Bonus symbols can land per spin, awarding 1 or 2 extra spins respectively. Bonus symbols cannot be upgraded during Free Spins.

Bonus Buy Option: Yes — Free Spins: 100x bet

Super Free Spins

Super Free Spins function identically to Free Spins but always begin with the maximum grid size (8x7). Up to 2 Bonus symbols per spin can award up to 2 additional spins. Both Free Spins and Super Free Spins are played at the same bet as the triggering round, and total winnings are added to any wins from that round.

Bonus Buy Option: Yes — Super Free Spins: 800x bet

Elevate Feature

The Elevate Feature offers five paid modifiers that can be activated before a spin. Only one can be selected per round:

Wins are formed by scattered combinations rather than fixed paylines. High-win symbols require 6 or more matches anywhere on the grid; low-win symbols require 8 or more. Only the highest win per scattered combination is paid. The Wild substitutes for all standard symbols and can contribute to multiple scattered wins simultaneously.

High-Win Symbols (payout as multiplier of bet):

Low-Win Symbols (payout as multiplier of bet):

The Wild substitutes for all standard symbols except Bonus, Bomb, and Heist Mode symbols.

In and Out uses a scattered win system on a dynamic grid. Wins do not require symbols to appear on fixed lines — any combination of 6+ matching high-win symbols or 8+ matching low-win symbols anywhere on the reels qualifies.

Every win triggers the Avalanche Feature, removing winning symbols and dropping new ones in. Each Avalanche can generate further wins and upgrade the tier level of highlighted positions. These highlighted positions are central to the game's win potential: they persist through Free Spins and activate Heist Mode when the Chloe symbol appears. The biggest wins come from accumulating high-tier highlighted positions and filling them with Gold Coins, Diamonds, and Multipliers during Heist Mode, where values compound across the entire hold-and-spin sequence.

In and Out is a standalone title with no direct sequel or variant at release. Players who enjoy the Avalanche mechanic combined with a hold-and-spin bonus may find similar appeal in other NetEnt releases that use cascading win systems. Games from other providers built around expandable grids and tiered coin-collect mechanics — a growing format in the modern slot market — offer comparable structural depth.

In and Out is one of NetEnt's more ambitious releases, layering an Avalanche system, expanding grid, Heist Mode coin-collect, and a five-option Elevate Feature into a cohesive experience. The tiered position system — where highlighted slots carry through to a hold-and-spin phase — gives the game a sense of continuity between spins that most slots lack.

Medium volatility and a 24.97% hit frequency keep the base game active, while the 12,086x max payout keeps upside potential meaningful. It suits players who prefer mechanics-driven gameplay over straightforward spin-and-win formats. The main drawback is complexity — there is a learning curve before all systems feel intuitive.
