Hold the Gold Paytable

Game Structure and Layout

The activity operates on a standard 5×3 grid with 20 fixed paylines. Players can adjust their stake from £0.20 to £100 per spin. The return to player percentage sits at 96.52%, which falls within industry standards. Volatility rates as medium to high, meaning wins may arrive less frequently but offer better value when they land. The visual design takes users deep underground into a mine shaft. Golden nuggets and precious stones fill the reels. Background animations show flickering torches and rocky cave walls. Sound effects include pickaxe strikes and rumbling rocks that enhance the atmosphere.

Special Features and Bonus Rounds

The wild icon substitutes for all regular characters except the scatter. It appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 during base gameplay. When wilds form part of a winning combination, they help complete lines that might otherwise miss. Three or more scatter elements trigger the free spins round. The number of scatters determines the initial award:

1. 3 scatters award 8 free spins
2. 4 scatters award 12 free spins
3. 5 scatters award 20 free spins

During free spins, a special gold frame can appear on any position. If a high-value character lands within this frame, it becomes sticky and remains locked for the duration of the feature. Additional scatters during the bonus round retrigger more spins. This mechanic creates opportunities for multiple high-paying icons to accumulate on screen simultaneously.

Hold and Respin Mechanic

The signature feature activates when six or more gold coin symbols land anywhere on the grid. These coins display cash values or jackpot labels. The base game at BetNjet pauses and three respins begin. Each new coin that appears resets the counter back to three respins. Empty positions remain available for additional coins to fill. The round continues until no respins remain or all 15 positions contain coins. At the end, all displayed values add together for the total prize. Four progressive jackpots—Mini, Minor, Major and Grand—can appear on the coins. Filling the entire grid awards the Grand jackpot automatically.
