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™'.
Duel Mechanic is a unique wild feature that introduces a dynamic resolution mini-game to determine the properties of a powerful wild symbol. This feature activates when a special trigger symbol appears, initiating a visual contest. Two wizard symbols, each representing a different multiplier value, engage in a 'duel'. The outcome of this duel determines which wizard prevails, transforming into a potent 'Over-Wild' with its specific multiplier applied to future wins.
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.
