3 Carts of Gold: Hold and Win, released by Playson, continues the developer's popular Hold and Win series. This new slot game invites players into a vibrant gold mine setting, accompanied by an upbeat soundtrack and a friendly, smiling dwarf, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
3 Carts of Gold: Hold and Win is structured on a 5-reel, 3-row grid and features 25 fixed paylines. These paylines pay out for combinations of three, four, or five matching symbols, from the leftmost to the rightmost reel. Scatter symbols offer payouts for three or more anywhere on the reels. The slot is designed to be fully compatible with both Android and iOS mobile devices, ensuring a smooth gaming experience whether on desktop or mobile. It is also available to play on the Lord Ping website.
The game’s symbols are divided into high-value and low-value categories. High-value symbols include the miner's backpack, mining equipment, a kettle, and a lantern. The lower-value symbols are represented by classic card suits. Wild symbols can substitute for all regular symbols and offer payouts of up to 15 times the stake if they form part of a winning combination.
The main feature of 3 Carts of Gold: Hold and Win is its Hold & Win minigame, which is activated by landing six or more Bonus symbols or a combination of these with Gems. Each Gem type triggers a specific Cart feature:
Boost Feature: Green gems add multipliers ranging from 2x to 10x to all Bonus symbols on the reels.
Mystery Feature: Red gems provide a random prize between 15x and 150x the bet.
Collect Feature: Blue gems gather all visible cash prizes.
Rainbow Gem Feature: Rainbow gems either enhance an existing Cart feature or activate a new one.
The minigame also includes four fixed jackpots based on the total bet: Mini (15x), Minor (50x), Major (150x), and the Grand Jackpot (5,000x), which is awarded for filling the entire grid with Bonus symbols.
Another highlight of the game is its Free Spins feature, triggered by landing scatter symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5. This awards a payout of 2x the stake and grants eight free spins. The feature is retriggerable, and all wild wins during the free spins come with a 2x multiplier, enhancing the potential for significant wins.
3 Carts of Gold: Hold and Win is a well-crafted addition to the Hold and Win series, offering a rich gold-themed experience with engaging gameplay and a range of exciting features. The combination of high-quality visuals and a variety of bonus features make it an appealing choice for both new and seasoned slot players. With its solid jackpot potential and entertaining bonus features, it promises a rewarding gaming experience for those who enjoy mining for gold.
