Hold and Spin – repeat win feature
The Hold and Spin Gold of the Gods Repeat Win Feature introduces an interesting enhancement to the traditional Hold and Spin mechanic, designed for increased player engagement and potential wins throughout the bonus sequence. Players only need three Cash-on-Reel symbols to trigger the Gold of the Gods Feature. Once in the feature, all the Cash-on-Reel and bonus symbols that land are transferred up to the top of their respective reels, providing clear visual tracking of the player’s progress.
A key operational dynamic of this feature is the reward structure tied to filling a reel. When a reel becomes “full”, the three stacked Cash-on-Reel amounts associated with it are paid on each subsequent spin until the conclusion of the feature. From a player’s perspective, achieving a full reel early in the sequence maximises the number of repeat win opportunities. Similarly, filling multiple reels provides and even stronger player experience.
At the end of the feature, all Cash-on-Reel amounts are consolidated and added to the total win, along with the repeat win accumulation.
Free Games
All four Gold of the Gods games have a unique free games feature, triggered by 3 scatters, and awarding 6 free games. The free games aim to get players winning their way back into the Hold and Spin Feature to increase engagement.
Eagle of Zeus: During free games, WILDs on reels 2 to 5 slide downwards one reel position in each free game and may include a sliding Cash-On-Reel on reel 5.
Pegasus of Olympus: During free games, if the Hold & Spin feature is triggered, any white Cash-on-Reel will split into two Cash on Reels to begin the feature
Snakes of Medusa: Cash-On-Reel prizes landed during free games will hold behind the reels. Collect 3 or more to trigger the Hold & Spin Feature
Hounds of Hades: A Cash-On-Reel prize roams on reels 2 – 4 during free games
Market Fit
The Repeat Win mechanic, inside a Hold and Spin Feature, in the Gold of the Gods games combines two very popular contemporary features for players. The stacked Cash on Reel symbols that “fill a reel” offers a new way of triggering the Repeat Win that is simple for players to track and anticipate. It holds great value for mid to high tier players, while also giving the majority of players added levels of excitement in the feature. These games will interest a wide range of players and a great mid-floor position in a high traffic area will be ideal for these games.
Summary
Across the four unique titles in this series, the Repeat Win mechanic within the Hold and Spin Feature plays a central role in driving sustained player engagement and enhancing perceived value. The opportunity for players to fill a reel with Cash on Reel symbols early in the feature and secure ongoing repeat wins with each subsequent spin provides a clear and rewarding progression. The Gold of the Gods games not only strengthen game variety on the gaming floor but also support consistent performance across two cabinet platforms. The games are available on the PeakDual27 and PeakCurve49, providing operators with flexibility in deployment and a proven, high-engagement option across all IGT Peak hardware configurations.
