Gamblelicious Hold and Win Review

This studio has released some interesting online slots, but we felt obliged to take a closer look at Gamblelicious Hold and Win. Its name is quite a mouthful, but chances are that this detail won’t bother anyone reading this review. So how good is this game? Well, to answer that question, we have to look at its ins and outs, starting with the playing field. What you’ll get to play with is 5 reels, 3 rows and a set of 25 winlines.

Thematically, Gamblelicious Hold and Win is all about riches. Its background is full of golden coins, for one, while there are also a few thematic symbols. The soundtrack is decent, too, but our issue with the package is that it brings nothing interesting to the table. If you’ve been around for a while, you’ve already seen a slot that looks like this – and this very fact will surely put some players off straight away.

The mathematical model of Gamblelicious Hold and Win has a high volatility level, so you have to be ready for some serious bankroll swings. The hit frequency is 26.40%, which means that you’ll get a win every 4 spins on average. The top jackpot appears to stand at 1,200x, which is below what we expect from high volatility slots. As a positive, though, we have to mention the game’s wide betting range. Low rollers can play for as little as £0.25 per spin, while high rollers can up the ante to as much as £250 per spin. The theoretical RTP of Gamblelicious Hold and Win is then 95.90%, which is very slightly below the 96% industry average.

Gamblelicious Hold and Win Slot Features

The symbol designs of Gamblelicious Hold and Win are rather average. For low-paying symbols, there are card suits that all pay the same, which is up to 2x your bet for a five-of-a-kind combination. Their high-paying counterparts are more thematic and show dice, banknotes, sevens, and diamonds. Diamonds are worth the most, as a complete winning combination will reward you with a payout that equals 10x your bet.

Aside from these pay symbols, Gamblelicious Hold and Win also has 3 special symbols - Coins (also called value symbols), Free Spins symbols, and Wilds. We’ll get to Coins and Free Spins symbols below, but we have to mention that Wilds can even appear as Stacked Wilds on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5.

If you land 3 Free Spins symbols on the middle three reels, you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature with 8 free spins. Retriggers are possible, but the main twist is that low-paying symbols can’t appear on the reels during them.

To trigger the titular Hold and Win feature, you have to find 6 or more Coins on the board. Then, you’ll get 3 respins, with each Coin that lands resetting the respins counter back to 3. The feature ends only once you fill the entire playing field with Coins or once you run out of respins. Then, all Coins in view will be collected and added to your bankroll. Importantly, there are also Quick Hit Bonuses that offer a set of 3 fixed jackpots. Two of them can be displayed on Coin symbols. These are called Mini and Major, with their values standing at 25x and 100x your bet, respectively. The final jackpot, called Grand, is there for players that manage to fill the entire board during the Hold and Win feature. If you do that, you’ll win 1,000x your bet in addition to your other payouts!

Review Summary

At the end of the day, we have some seriously mixed feelings about Gamblelicious Hold and Win. On one hand, we like its Hold and Win feature with 3 fixed jackpots, Stacked Wilds, and free spins without low-paying symbols. On the other hand, we aren’t excited about its visuals, lowish payout potential, and slightly subpar RTP. If you fancy playing another Hold and Win slot, go ahead and give it a go. If that doesn’t get you hyped up, though, feel free to stay away.
