Reel Crown Hold and Win

Reel Crown Hold and Win Review

It seems there are many Hold & Win games being released, and Reel Crown Hold and Win is a classic-style addition to the series, with a retro presentation that might appeal to those who enjoy classic fruit machines.

The reels feature fruit symbols, and the 5x3 grid is set against a green backdrop. You can choose between 3 different base game modifiers at random, one of which guarantees a win. The main feature is the Hold & Win, with 4 different upgrades and a potential of 6,040x. This is not a typical installment, although similar features have been seen before.

Reel Crown Hold and Win Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 6 and 16 x your stake for 5 of a kind wins, and the Wild symbol substitutes for pay symbols to help complete wins. The Wild also pays 20x your stake for 5 of a kind wins and can appear anywhere.

The Reel Modifier feature can trigger randomly, and you can choose 1 out of 3 Mini Slot Reels. They offer the following modifier prizes:

• Win Spin - adds mystery symbols to the reels that transform into the same randomly chosen symbol for a guaranteed win.
• Bonus Add - adds extra scatters to the grid, increasing your Respins chances (but not guaranteed).
• Wild Reels - gives you 2 to 5 stacked wilds randomly placed on the grid.

You need to land 5+ crown scatters to trigger the Respins Bonus, which starts with 3 respins. The triggering symbols become sticky as cash symbols on a cleared grid, and only blanks, cash scatters, and special symbols will land during the feature. Each spin with at least one non-blank symbol resets the respins tally.

The special symbols are called Booster Gems, and you need to collect 3 per meter to unlock a booster modifier:

• Blue Gem - unlocks 1 extra row, up to 3 times.
• Green Gem - boosts the value of all present cash scatters.
• Red Gem - awards +1 extra spin, resetting the respins tally to the boosted number.
• Purple Gem - increases the win multiplier, first to x2, then to x5, and finally x10.

The multiplier achieved via the purple gem booster is applied to your total win from the Respins round. All cash prizes are summed up when you run out of respins, and then the multiplier is applied. The feature has a hit rate of 1 in 200 spins on average.

The 200 Spins Reel Crown Hold and Win Slot Experience

You can see a bit of the base game before the Respins Bonus is triggered. Several extra reels were unlocked, and the extra respins tally was maxed out to reset to 6. The feature plays out for the remainder of the video.

Review Summary

Reel Crown Hold and Win stands out due to its modifiers. The base game is made more interesting by the random modifiers, although the retro fruit slot presentation might not be the most exciting. It might appeal to those seeking a nostalgic experience.

The main feature is the Hold & Win round, and the ability to upgrade each booster multiple times is a plus. Getting up to 6 respins is not common, and the multiplier can be lucrative. The 6,040x potential is solid, making this a decent addition to the Hold and Win range.
