Battle Loot: Hold and Win Slot Review

About the Game

Battle Loot: Hold and Win is a 5-reel, 3-row video slot from Mascot Gaming with 20 fixed paylines that pay out from left to right. The game begins with the main game, where the total bet is set on each spin based on the selected amount. During the game, players can activate bonus free spins or the Hold and Win bonus, and enter the Risk (Gamble) feature after any winning spin.

Wild Symbol. Wild symbols substitute for all regular symbols to form winning combinations, except for Scatter and Coin symbols.

Coin Symbol. The coin symbol does not award wins on paylines. When coin value symbols appear along with the collect symbol, the total value of all coin symbols is added to the win. This applies both in the main game and during free spins. If the jackpot appears along with the collect symbol, the corresponding jackpot prize is immediately added to the win. This applies both in the main game and during free spins. Six or more coin symbols trigger the Hold and Win bonus, which can be activated both in the main game and during free spins.

Scatter Symbol. Landing 3, 4 or 5 Scatter symbols triggers 10, 12 or 15 free spins respectively.

Free Spins

Landing 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols during free spins awards 3, 5, or 8 additional free spins, respectively. Free spins are triggered automatically using the bet they were triggered with. All payouts are determined according to the paytable. The total winnings from the bonus game include all winnings from the spin that triggered it.

Hold And Win Feature With Jackpots

When the bonus game begins, all coin symbols remain in place, and the player is awarded 3 re-spins. During the bonus game, only empty positions are spun. Each time at least one new coin symbol appears, all existing coin symbols remain locked, and the re-spin counter resets to 3. The bonus game continues until the re-spins are exhausted or all positions on the screen are filled with coin symbols. Coin symbols can appear in the Hold & Win bonus game in different types, including coin value symbols, collection symbols, and jackpot symbols. Coin value symbols award a fixed prize, which is added to the total bonus game winnings at the end of the bonus game. Jackpot symbols can award a mini, minor, or major jackpot, which are added to the total bonus game winnings at the end of the bonus game. Collection symbols accumulate the values ​​of all coin value symbols and jackpot symbols currently on the screen. Once collected, all coin value and jackpot symbols are removed from the screen, vacating their positions. If all positions on the screen are filled with coin symbols, the Grand Jackpot is automatically awarded, and no other coin values ​​or jackpot prizes are awarded. The total bonus win is calculated as the sum of all wins displayed on the screen. The total bonus win includes any winnings from the triggering spin.

Risk’n’buy Feature

The Risk’n’Buy feature in Battle Loot: Hold and Win offers players several options to modify or enhance their gameplay depending on the chosen option.

Players can purchase the Free Spins feature by placing a minimum wager of 60, granting immediate access to the free spins. When selecting a purchase, players can change the bet amount, and the purchase price will be automatically recalculated. Purchased free spins are always played at the bet level active at the time of purchase.

The player can also purchase the Hold & Win bonus with 6-8 initial locked coin symbols. The purchased Hold & Win bonus is always played at the bet level active at the time of purchase.
After any winning spin, the player can choose to play the Guess game, wagering their current winnings for a chance to increase them. The Guess game is played on a 5×3 grid using a full deck of cards. An Ace is considered the highest card and can only be beaten by a 2. At the start of the Guess game, one random card chosen by the game is revealed on the screen, after which the player selects one of the face-up cards. If the chosen card is higher than the card chosen by the game, the player’s current winnings are doubled (x2). If the chosen card is lower, the entire wagered winnings are lost. If both cards are tied in rank, the player’s winnings remain unchanged. After each successful guess, the game reveals an additional card chosen by the game, and the player can continue the Guess game by selecting one of the remaining face-up cards. With each successful turn, the number of available cards decreases. After turning 6 cards, each subsequent successful turn multiplies the current win by x3. Turning 10 cards increases the multiplier to x4, and turning 12 cards increases it to x5. The maximum achievable multiplier in the Gamble game is x2500 of the total bet. At any time before making a choice, the player can take the current win instead of continuing the game.
The Risk ‘n’ Buy feature is not available in Autoplay mode.
