Hold and Win Slots Explained

Casino game guidesHold and win

Hold and win — also called respin — is a popular slot feature where special symbols lock in place while you respin for more. This guide explains it. Details are in each game.

Key takeaways
  • It is a slot feature where special symbols lock in place and you respin for more.
  • You get a set number of respins, and each new special symbol that lands locks in place and resets the respin count, keeping the feature alive.
  • The locked symbols' values are added up when respins end, and filling the whole screen often awards a top prize or jackpot.

How the feature triggers

Landing a set number of special symbols (often cash or jackpot symbols) starts the feature. Those symbols lock in place. See slot features.

The respins

You then get a number of respins, and every new special symbol that lands also locks and resets the respin count.

Example. Each new symbol that lands keeps the feature alive, so a full screen can build up step by step.

How it pays

When respins run out, the locked symbols' values are added up, and filling the whole screen often awards a top prize or jackpot. See jackpot types.

Hold and win is widely used because it builds tension as symbols accumulate. Return information and volatility are in the paytable.
