Royal Coins Hold and Win Review

Playson studio's portfolio counts numerous amazing titles built on the popular Hold and Win mechanic, and the developer doesn't seem to stop and comes with yet another slot that makes use of it. Royal Coins Hold and Win is a classic-style machine that combines fruit theme with modern features, and, to skip ahead, does it flawlessly.

Royal Coins Hold and Win - Slot Outlook

Although the outer look of the Royal Coins Hold and Win slot is pretty simple, Playson has surely put a lot of effort into the design. The reels are made up of photorealistic symbols, and special effects are smooth and lovely. The audio aspect also deserves a special mention. There's no music in the base game, but once you hit bonus features and big wins, an upbeat orchestral soundtrack will blast off your speakers to put you into the right mood and immerse you into the action. Back to the reels, the actions take place across a standard 3x3 layout with 5 ways to play, and behind it, a simple purple-toned wallpaper makes up the backdrop, though, the chosen color scheme is pleasing to the eye. Overall, it's not a bad-looking slot, and the classic-loving audience won't find anything to complain about here, at least in terms of the outside.

Royal Coins Hold and Win Slot - Reel Screen

It's not all rosy on the math side, as true to the genre, Royal Coins Hold and Win is a little bit hardcore for casual gamblers.

The volatility is high, rated by the developer 8.65 out of 10 points, and the RTP is slightly beneath the average level at 95.68%. Moving forward, the hit frequency is also not the most generous we've seen so far, and according to the 10.18% figure, wins should occur roughly in one out of 10 spins. Anyway, the potential is a relief since you can hope for a payout of up to 4,259x on a single spin here, which is decent. Meanwhile, the betting range should appeal to both high-rollers and less risky slotters with stake options from £0.2 to £100 per spin.

As we head over to the paytable, we see a bunch of familiar classic icons. The pay symbols in the Royal Coins Hold and Win slot include in ascending order cherries, oranges, lemons, plums, watermelons, grapes, bars, and bells.

There's also a Wild included, represented by a red lucky seven, which not only substitutes for any other regular symbol, but also has the highest value. That said, regular symbol wins are worth from 1x to 30x the stake, and Wilds pay 50x the stake.

Royal Coins Hold and Win - Bonus Features

Even though you can rack up significant wins in the base game, the true key to success is obviously the Hold and Win feature. It's triggered when 3 or more Bonus or Royal Bonus symbols appear anywhere in view during the base game. That will award 3 Respins to start and players will proceed to a new type of reel set where bonus symbols are the only available.

Regular Bonus symbols display a random bet multiplier value, which can be anything from 1x to 15x, and they can only land on reels 1 and 3. Royal Bonus symbols, in turn, don't carry any own value and appear on reel 2 only. Instead, they stick to the reels and stay for the remainder of the bonus game to gather all visible coin values on each spin. A so-called persistent cash collector.

Whenever a bonus symbol lands on the grid during the Hold and Win feature, the Respins counter resets back to 3, and the bonus continues until the player runs out of Respins. Additionally, you can win Mini, Major, and Grand Jackpot prizes during the Respins.

Those can randomly appear on the reels and award 25x, 150x, and 1,000x the stake respectively.

Royal Coins Hold and Win - Slot Verdict

With a lovely fruit theme and a huge bonus game, Royal Coins Hold and Win is definitely worth trying. It's not the bonus game itself that makes the slot decent but a twist that Playson delivered to enliven the gameplay and bring a whole new level of rewards. Although we've seen the Hold and Win bonus countless times before, it works in a different and unique way here.

Unlike in most other games where bonus symbols simply stick to the reels, they are collected by Royal Bonus symbols here, which keep the grid empty for new symbols, so the bonus can theoretically drag for hours. On top of that, up to 3 Royal Bonus symbols are possible in a single bonus game, so each symbol can pay 3x its value. All up, we should pay credits to Playson for going beyond the boundaries of classic fruit slots and bridging the gap between classics and modern games, and those who appreciate the effort shouldn't miss Royal Coins Hold and Win.
