What is a Hold and Spin feature?
Hold and Spin is a bonus feature commonly found in slots that focuses on collecting coin or special symbols across multiple spins. When triggered, you receive a limited number of respins. Each time a new symbol lands, the respins reset, and you continue until you run out of spins with no new symbol landing.
How it plays out
Typically triggered by landing 6 or more coin symbols in the base game, the Hold and Spin round starts you with 3 respins. Any coins already on the grid are held in place. New coins landing during respins reset the count back to 3. The round ends when no new coin lands and the respin count reaches zero.
Prizes from Hold and Spin
Accumulated coins contribute their face values to your total. Some positions on the grid hide jackpot symbols (mini, minor, major, grand) that award large fixed prizes when collected. Filling the entire grid with symbols typically triggers the maximum jackpot. This mechanic is common in Buffalo-style slots and many titles from developers like Konami, Aristocrat, and Scientific Games.
