Gold Gold Gold Hold and Win review

Graphics, Sounds, and Animations

It's time to go for gold… gold gold. The Gold Gold Gold Hold and Win (try saying that three times fast) slot by Booming Games has a cool retro look and feel, and best of all, it comes with a special Hold and Win round and three potential jackpots.

The background of this game isn't much to look at. It's a simple, purple backdrop with piles of gold coins stacked at the bottom, and while the shiny gold might appeal to the magpies amongst us, there are no animations and nothing to make the game feel particularly interactive.

The music is a bit more upbeat than you might expect (think 80s dance track), but as the symbols begin to land on the grid, you'd be forgiven for thinking you've landed right in Vegas.

Gameplay

Gold Gold Gold Hold and Win takes place on a grid of five reels and three rows, with 25 fixed paylines. To trigger a win, you need to get at least three of the same symbols on adjacent reels from left to right on one of the paylines. The high-value symbols are the bell, star, gold bar, and lucky four-leaf clover, while the colorful poker chips pay out smaller wins.

Wilds, Bonuses, and Free Spins

The highlight of this game is, without a doubt, the Hold and Win round. To get in, you'll need to land at least six of the gold coin value symbols anywhere on the grid. The feature starts with three spins, and it resets every time a coin symbol lands. During the bonus feature, look out for the Mini and Major jackpot symbols, or fill up the entire screen to bag the Grand jackpot.

Scatter symbols can only land on reels 2, 3, and 4, and three of them will open up the Free Spins round, where you'll get eight free rounds.

Gold Gold Gold Hold and Win also comes with Stacked Wilds, which can cover an entire reel. Stacked Wilds appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, and the diamond Wild symbol can substitute for any regular paying symbols.

Bet Sizes, RTP, and Variance

When you play Gold Gold Gold Hold and Win, you shouldn't expect wins to be very frequent, but they're generally larger than average as this is a high-volatility game. This is good news for us, because we find games with high volatility to be very exciting. On the downside, the RTP is a little below average, coming in at 95.6%.

The minimum stake amount for Gold Gold Gold Hold and Win is set at $/€/£0.25 per spin, and the maximum is high at $/€/£250. That's pretty impressive if you manage to bag the top payout of 2,000x your bet.

Conclusion

We wouldn't generally recommend slots with a lower-than-average RTP, but this one gets our stamp of approval anyway. The high volatility makes up for the slightly low RTP, and of course, there's a chance to bag yourself one of three jackpots in the Hold and Win round. Don't go into this one expecting any of the bells and whistles that you might have become accustomed to with modern video slots: it's a more retro-style game, but offers a simple and fun experience.
