Ruby Hit: Hold and Win

Ruby Hit: Hold and Win Review

This game is a Hold and Win slot, but there’s a slight twist in the Hold and Win feature that makes things more exciting. The slot’s playing field is basic, consisting of just 3 reels, 3 rows and 5 fixed paylines.

The theme is classically fruity, and there isn’t much to talk about here. The audiovisuals are modern, so the slot doesn’t look like an old-school slot machine. It’s clear that this release won’t set the world on fire in any way as far as its audiovisuals are concerned.

The math model comes with a high volatility level, and its jackpot is at least 6,019x your bet. Its hit frequency is rather low at 9.84%, which means a win once per 10 spins on average. The min bet is £0.20, while the most that you can play for is £100 per spin. The theoretical RTP is on the lower side of the spectrum, clocking in at 95.55%.

Ruby Hit: Hold and Win Slot Features

There are 8 pay symbols, and they are divided into 4 low pays and 4 high pays. For low pays, there are cherries, oranges, lemons, and plums. They can net you up to 4x your bet for a combination, while the wins are much higher for sets of high pays. Those depict grapes, melons, BARs, and bells, with bells being the most valuable symbols. If you find a set of bells, you’ll walk away with a nice 30x payout!

For specials, there are Sevens Wilds and Ruby Scatters. Sevens Wilds substitute for other symbols, and they are worth 50x your bet for a full set.

There’s only one gameplay feature, and it’s the titular Hold and Win feature. To trigger it, you have to find 3 Ruby Scatters on the playing board, and they can carry values of 1x, 2x, 5x, 10x, or 15x your bet. Once the feature starts, you’ll get 3 respins, and only special symbols can land on the reels during it.

Each symbol that lands resets the number of respins back to 3, and all symbols in view pay out on each respin. That’s the twist, as there’s just no collecting at the end of the feature. Instead, you’ll get a win with each respin, which is much more exciting! Each respin also slide all the symbols down by one row, and it all goes on until you run out of respins. Crucially, there are 3 Jackpot symbols to spice things out, and these are worth 25x, 150x, and 1,000x your bet per respin!

Review Summary

Ruby Hit: Hold and Win might not be a blockbuster release, but its Hold and Win feature has one truly exciting twist in that it pays out on each respin. That can make for some serious wins, especially thanks to the slot’s three Jackpot symbols. The game’s blander theme and disappointing RTP brings the package down a little bit, but it’s worth checking out nonetheless.
