Hold and Win Slots Explained
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.
- 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.
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.
A popular format
Hold and win is widely used because it builds tension as symbols accumulate. Return information and volatility are in the paytable.
