All the action takes place across a traditional 5×3 reel configuration, but unlike other slots from this series, there are no paylines. Instead, there are 243 ways to win, meaning you’ll land payouts whenever three or more matching symbols land on consecutive reels starting from the leftmost reel. On top of that, Wild symbols and an expanding wild on the third reel can help create wins by substituting for any of the regular symbols.

Goblin: 0.4x
Elf: 0.4x
Crown: 0.36x

Greedy Goblins That Stole Christmas Hold & Win Bonus Features

Betsoft has really gone to town on the bonus features on its latest Hold & Win slot, with it featuring a Hold & Win bonus, Picking Game, Wild Reels, Mystery symbols and more.

Nudging Wild Reels: Only on the third reel, the Wild Reel will always nudge fully into view when it lands partially on a spin. Any wins created as a result of that reel are randomly multiplied by 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x or 10x.

Stacked Mystery Symbols: All Mystery Symbols that land on the reels will reveal the same regular symbol.

Hold & Win Feature: The slot’s main bonus feature triggers when six or more cash bonus symbols land anywhere in view following a base game spin. You receive three respins, which reset whenever another Coin or Jackpot symbol lands and is collected. The actions start with a single 5/3 grid, but up to three more can be unlocked by collecting enough symbols to meet specific milestones.

The feature continues until you fill all 60 positions across all grids to win a 2,000x the stake Grand Jackpot payout, or when you run out of respins. As for the icons you can collect, these are:

Coin Prizes that are worth between 1x and 10x the stake.
The Mini (15x), Minor (30x), Major (40x), Maxi (100x) and Super (400x) Jackpots.

Fortune Sack: Every time a Bonus symbol lands on the reels, there is a random chance that it will trigger one of three events:

If there are five or fewer bonus symbols on the reels, it will add the required number to trigger the Hold & Win feature.
If there are already at least six bonus symbols, the Fortune Sack will boost the values of those symbols before the Hold & Win feature starts.
There’s also a random chance it will trigger the Pick Bonus, explained below.

Pick Bonus: Once triggered, you’re taken to a screen that allows you to pick gifts that reveal symbols representing the Major (40x), Maxi (100x) and Super (400x), and Grand (2,000x) fixed jackpots. You continue picking until you reveal three of one of those jackpots, which is also what you win.

Buy Bonus: You can jump straight into the Hold & Win bonus for 80x the current bet via the Buy Bonus option at the bottom of the screen.
