    Hold & Spin (sometimes branded Hold & Win, Link & Win, Money Respins) is one of the most successful modern slot mechanics. Cash-value symbols lock in place, a respin counter ticks down on non-hits, and full-screen coverage usually pays a grand-jackpot flat prize.

    Every Hold & Spin release we track is listed below, sorted by date, then re-ranked by max win and RTP.

    How Hold & Spin Slots Work

    The feature triggers when 5-6 special cash symbols land on the reels. All other symbols clear, and a respin counter — usually 3 — is set. Each spin either lands new cash symbols (which lock and reset the counter to 3) or hits nothing (which drops the counter by 1). The feature ends when the counter reaches zero or the grid fills.

    Cash symbols carry a random value in stake multipliers. On feature end, every value on the grid is added up and paid as a single win. Fixed grand, major, minor and mini jackpots often sit above the highest cash values, triggered by filling the entire grid or landing specific jackpot symbols.

    The mechanic's appeal is transparency: you can see exactly what you're chasing on every respin. Volatility runs medium to high depending on the trigger frequency and grid size, and providers publish trigger rates for most modern Hold & Spin releases.

    Frequently asked questions

    A slot feature where cash-value symbols lock in place and a respin counter runs. New cash symbols reset the counter; non-hits decrement it. The feature ends when the counter reaches zero.
    Yes. Hold & Win, Link & Win, Money Respins and Cash Respins are the same core mechanic under different studio brand names.
    Almost always by filling the full grid with cash symbols during the feature, which triggers a grand-jackpot flat prize on top of the summed cash values.
    Medium to high. Trigger frequency is usually 1 in 200-500 spins, but feature outcomes vary from a tiny minimum-symbol return to the full grand jackpot.
    The Chinese-market original was Aristocrat's Lightning Link, but online it was popularised globally by Pragmatic Play (Wolf Gold, Big Bass Bonanza) and Playson.
