Hold & Win Slots

How Hold & Win Rounds Play Out

Hold & Win is a bonus format built on locking and respinning. A set number of trigger symbols, usually coin or Cash Symbols, opens the round; the triggering symbols lock in place and the remaining positions respin. Every new cash symbol locks too and resets the respin counter, most commonly to 3.

The round ends when the counter reaches zero or the grid fills completely. The payout is the sum of all locked values, and a full grid frequently awards an additional grand prize. Symbol values range from bet multiples to fixed Jackpots tiers, with the top tiers often reserved for Progressive Jackpot pools.

Structurally the format is a specialized Respins loop, and many games let players reach it faster through Bonus Buy. Collector mechanics from Collect Symbols often appear inside, multiplying or gathering the locked values.

Naming note: Hold & Spin describes the same core loop under a different label; individual games differ in details like counter size and grid shape rather than in the fundamental mechanic.
