📖 Detailed Explanation
The Hold and Spin bonus feature in Sticky Coin: Hold the Spin is triggered by landing at least one coin symbol on each of the three reels during the base game.
This classic Hold and Spin mechanic, common in coin-collector slots, locks the triggering coins in place and awards an initial 3 respins (also referred to as free spins in some descriptions). During the bonus, only coin symbols (with values like 1x-15x the bet), Royal Coins, Expand Coins, and Jackpot Coins can land on the reels. Each new coin that lands resets the respin counter to 3, giving players more chances to fill the grid.
Key bonus elements include:
- Royal Coins (appear only on the middle reel): Collect values from all coins on reels 1 and 3, often with modifiers like Royal Collect, Booster, or Doubler.
- Expand Coins: Add extra rows to reels 1 and 3 (up to 5 rows total), award random prizes (1x-15x bet), and extend the grid for bigger wins.
- Jackpot Coins: Award fixed jackpots such as Mini (25x), Minor (50x), Major (150x), or Grand (1000x the bet).
- Sticky Coins: In the base game, these stay for 1-3 spins (as shown on the coin), boosting chances to trigger the bonus.
The round ends when no new coins land for 3 consecutive respins or the entire grid fills, paying out up to the game's 5000x bet maximum. This feature is the slot's highlight, enhanced by the 3-5-3 grid and 45 paylines.
