Features and Bonuses: Hold & Win and Value Collection

Wilds and Paylines
The Wild supports the base game by substituting for all paying symbols except COIN and COLLECT. Wins are calculated across 5 paylines, evaluated from left to right. This structure ensures straightforward gameplay in line with classic three-reel slot formats.
Pile of Coins
Positioned above the reels is a pile of coins that grows visually whenever a new coin lands. This element is more than just a graphical indicator: each addition to the pile can randomly trigger the Hold & Win feature, creating a bridge between the base game and the bonus mode.
Hold & Win
The Hold & Win feature is activated when a COLLECT symbol lands on the center reel along with at least one COIN on reels 1 and 2. Once triggered, 3 Free Spins are awarded. Coins landing during the feature remain locked on the grid, and every new COIN resets the counter to 3, extending opportunities for collection.
Collect Feature
The core mechanism of the bonus is the Collect feature. A COLLECT symbol on the middle reel gathers the values of coins on reels 1 and 3. Up to 3 COLLECT symbols can appear during the round, allowing multiple symbols to collect the active values at the same time. This system makes the distribution of COIN symbols on the outer reels particularly valuable.
Jackpots and Bonus Conclusion
During Hold & Win, a COIN symbol can also reveal one of the available jackpots. The combination of coin values, COLLECT symbols, and jackpots shapes the final bonus outcome. The feature runs until the Free Spins counter reaches zero, provided no new COIN lands to trigger a reset.
