Overview
Hold and Spin is a respin bonus that starts when a certain number of money symbols (symbols showing amounts) appear. The symbols that landed when it started are locked (held) in place, and only the remaining cells spin again. Each time a new symbol lands, the respin count refills, so with luck it continues until the screen is full of amounts.
Providers use many different names, such as “Hold & Win,” “Link & Win,” “Money Respin,” and “Cash Respin.” They all belong to the same family.
How it works
- In the base game, the bonus starts when a certain number of money (bonus) symbols appear, usually 6 or more.
- The symbols that landed are locked, and you usually get 3 respins.
- When a new money symbol lands during a respin, it locks in place and the respin count refills to 3.
- It ends when the respins run out or the screen fills up, and all amounts on screen are added up and paid.

Difference from money collection
Both use money symbols showing amounts, but Hold and Spin respins with symbols locked in place, while money collection (such as the Big Bass series) gathers the amounts on screen the moment a collector symbol appears. Recently, many games mix the two.
