Two roles are especially well represented here: separate prizes and bonus modes. Bonus-game mechanics contribute rewards outside ordinary symbol combinations. The free-spin family represents a part of the game’s bonus mechanics.
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 Sticky Wild is a special wild symbol that, true to its name, does not disappear immediately after appearing on the reels. Instead, it 'sticks' in place and remains there for multiple subsequent spins. This feature shows its true potential primarily during free spins bonus rounds, making it a powerful system that can grant massive rewards by progressively making the game board more advantageous for the player.
