Slot supplier Wazdan has upped the ante with the production of its Hold the Jackpot feature, following the launch of titles such as Unicorn Reels, Clover Lady, Burning Stars 3 and Sun of Fortune.
The mechanic, which is said to have gained recognition among Wazdan fans ‘all around the world’, is set to be incorporated across soon-to-be-released slots including Midnight in Tokyo, Prosperity Pearls and Fortune Reels.
“Our Hold the Jackpot products have been hugely well-received, and we’re delighted to add more of them to our roadmap, as they provide the unmistakable flavour that many players seek,” noted Andrzej Hyla, chief commercial officer at Wazdan.
“Keep an eye on Wazdan’s upcoming additions featuring Hold the Jackpot mechanics, including: Prosperity Pearls, Fortune Reels, and Midnight in Tokyo – coming soon!”
Within the mechanic, each Hold the Jackpot bonus round begins with three Re-spins. However, their number resets every time a new symbol is drawn on the reels, which adds even more excitement to this well-designed feature. What is more, in each game, the mechanic is enhanced and refined to create immersive gaming experiences.
Unicorn Reels was the debut game, with players on a quest to find 25 Unicorns on the reels and a clear ladder system in place for players to see their progress. With 21 prizes on offer, three Jackpots and the chance to win the Grand Jackpot of 1,000x their stake.
With Bonus symbols awarding four Jackpots, Clover Lady saw the introduction of Multipliers in the form of a Direwolf symbol, with players able to magnify their win by 0.5x for every Direwolf found up to a maximum of 7x, awarding up to 3,500x a player’s stake, whilst the Bonus round takes place on a grid of 18 independent mini-reels.
Burning Stars 3 offers a fast-paced, 3×3 variant of the bonus mode, where players need to keep their cool in the glare of the suns to find nine symbols for a win of 2,187x if they trigger the Grand Jackpot, while smaller prizes are on offer in the other three Jackpots.
In the upcoming Midnight in Tokyo slot, the Hold the Jackpot bonus round will be played on 15 mini reels. Players will be able to win both Major and Grand Jackpots, triggered by cute Geisha symbols, as well as additional cash prizes from Moon symbols, as all prizes will be summed up at the end of the bonus round.
