Hold and win slots: how the respin feature works
Collect coins, lock them in place, and reset the respins every time a new one lands. A plain-English guide to one of the most popular slot features.
In this guide
Hold and win (also sold under other names) is a bonus round where special symbols stick to the reels and you get a small number of respins, usually three, to land more.
How a round plays out
The feature triggers when enough coin symbols land at once. They lock in place, the other positions spin again, and every new coin resets the respin counter. The round ends when you run out of respins or fill the grid.
Where the value is
Each coin carries a value, often a multiple of your stake. Some coins award fixed jackpots. Filling the whole grid usually pays the top prize.
What to expect
These games tend to sit at medium volatility: the base game pays modestly and most of the value sits in the feature. Try Lighthouse Ledger or Kraken’s Postbox in free demo mode to get a feel for the pace.
