Two prominent themes: persistence and growth and bonus modes

Among the roles covered by these mechanics, persistence and growth and bonus modes have the strongest representation. The scatter family contributes to accessing a separate phase of play. Free-spin mechanics include states that can be retained or developed during the sequence.

Highlight Features

Hold and Respin

Hold and Respin, or 'Hold & Win', is one of the most popular core bonus game mechanics in modern slots. The essence of this feature, unlike traditional free spins, is to 'Hold' bonus symbols on the reels and 'Respin' the remaining empty spaces to fill up the screen. This system was popularized worldwide through 'Money Train 2's' 'Money Cart Bonus' and is the foundation for numerous developer-specific brand features like Wazdan's 'Hold the Jackpot™' and Playtech's 'Fire Blaze™'.

Gateway Free Spins

Gateway Free Spins is a sophisticated system where the bonus round is connected in sequential stages, with the first free spins round acting as a 'Gateway' to enter the next bonus stage. The core of this feature is that the player must not only win prizes during the free spins but also complete a special 'mission' to advance to the next level. This provides the experience of a 'journey', as if following the game's story.
