Hold and win

How it runs

1. Six or more coin symbols trigger the feature.
2. They lock; everything else is cleared.
3. You have three respins.
4. Any new coin locks and resets the respins to three.
5. When respins run out, all coin values are paid.

Jackpot labels

Some coins read mini, minor or major instead of a value. Filling every position usually pays the grand prize.

Relatives

It descends from the fruit machine hold and is a cousin of cash collect. See cash collect and hold buttons.

Volatility

Most features pay modestly; the grid fills very rarely.

Three is long enough to feel hopeful and short enough to end quickly. Each reset renews that feeling, which is much of the feature's appeal and a reason to keep an eye on the clock.
