Two roles are especially well represented here: separate prizes and bonus modes. The free-spin family supplies some of the mechanics associated with bonus modes. Scatter-related mechanics add a separate prize route.
Several special features sit alongside the core format, adding mechanical variety within a moderately sized feature set.

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™'.
A Retrigger means winning additional free spins by landing scatter symbols again during a free spins bonus round. Furthermore, some slots adopt an 'unlimited retrigger' system, which means there is no limit to the number of times it can re-trigger. In theory, if luck is on your side, the free spins can continue indefinitely, making it one of the most powerful features a slot can have.
Average Bonus Buy Price
This slot's bonus buy price sits within the usual range for comparable slots. Buying the feature can be a reasonable option if your goal is to reach the free-spin round without waiting for a natural trigger. The trade-off is that you skip the base-game spins that would normally happen before the feature, including any wins or volatility from that part of play.
