Hit the Gold! Hold and Win Slot Features

Hit the Gold! Hold and Win combines Free Spins, a Bonus Game, four jackpots and Mystery Symbols. The Miner is the Wild: it appears on all reels and substitutes for all symbols except Scatter and Bonus.

Free Spins

Three Scatter symbols during the Main Game pay 1x the bet and trigger 8 Free Spins. Scatters appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 only. Three Scatter symbols during Free Spins trigger 8 additional Free Spins. Only the Bonus, Scatter and Wild symbols plus the dog, gold sack, gold pan and pickaxe stay on the reels during this mode, so the A, K, Q and J are gone. Free Spins are played at the triggering bet, and the Bonus Game can be triggered during them.

Bonus Game

Six or more Bonus symbols trigger the Bonus Game. All Bonus symbols stick on the reels, and the round starts with 3 respins. Every new Bonus symbol resets the counter to 3, while the round ends when the respins run out or all 15 symbols are collected. Only Bonus symbols appear on the reels during the round, each worth 1x to 16x the bet, and their values are summed and paid at the end.

Jackpots

Mini, Minor and Major Bonus symbols appear at random during the Bonus Game and pay the matching jackpot:

• Mini Jackpot: 20x the bet.
• Minor Jackpot: 50x the bet.
• Major Jackpot: 150x the bet.

Collecting all 15 Bonus symbols of any type awards the Grand Jackpot at 2,000x the bet. All four are fixed multiples of the bet.

Mystery Symbol

The dynamite Mystery symbol appears only during the Bonus Game and transforms into Mini, Minor, or Major symbols. Several can land during one round, then open one by one at the end of the Bonus Game.

Hit the Gold! Hold and Win Slot Review

Hit the Gold! Hold and Win leans into a gold-rush look with a cartoon prospector, a dog companion, and bright gem-style symbols against a dark cave backdrop. The contrast gives the game a clear identity, and the four jackpot amounts stay on screen above the reels during the base game.

The Bonus Game carries most of the interest, because 6 Bonus symbols start 3 respins and every new symbol resets the counter, while Mystery symbols keep part of the result hidden until the end. The base game is plainer: the A, K, Q and J all pay the same 2x the bet for five of a kind, and the Wild tops the paytable at 12x the bet.

The top prize written in Hit the Gold! Hold and Win is 2,000x the bet, paid for collecting all 15 Bonus symbols. The game has no bonus buy, so the Free Spins and the Bonus Game are reached only by spinning. Fixed jackpots and a short feature list keep the Hold and Win round easy to follow, which is the game’s main strength.
