Grid and ways

The slot offers 243 ways across 5 reels, a common ways count. Matching symbols on adjacent reels are what count, rather than set lines.

The look is a retro fruit machine with stars and sevens.

What the numbers say

The RTP of 95.95% leaves a house edge of 4.05% on average over many spins. That is almost identical to the common benchmark, so the gap is slight and says nothing about your next session.

With high volatility, the spread between small and large outcomes is wide. A casino can pick another RTP version, so confirm it before you play. Our RTP page and volatility page go through the details.

Hold and win, as a label

The title mentions hold and win, but the listed features are only free spins, wilds and a bonus buy. We do not describe a hold-and-win round, because its rules are not published.

The bonus buy is a paid shortcut to a feature. It costs more than a regular spin, so budget for it separately or skip it.

Treat the game as entertainment with a price. Set a limit and stay within it. Players must be adults. more Betsoft slots.
