3 Coins Hold and Win Review
The Hold and Win feature has become quite popular among the players lately, and it seems that there are hardly any studios left who still haven’t utilized the streak-style respins mechanics. Developer 3 Oaks is no exception, and true to the name of its latest release, 3 Coins Hold and Win relies heavily on the respins bonus game. What makes it stand out is a simple classic theme and only 3 reels, which is quite uncommon for the genre.
As alluded to earlier, 3 Oaks studio took a somewhat different approach with its 3 Coins Hold and Win slot, and it’s really unusual seeing the Hold and Win game in a classic design. Weird as it may be, the old-school format really brings a change with a tiny 3×3 reel set and only 5 winlines. As for the game’s outer look though, classic doesn’t mean bad, and 3 Coins Hold and Win looks really pleasing to the eye. The game sports sharp graphics and the symbols on the reels look pretty nice and detailed. However, there’s no soundtrack as such, and all you hear is the sound of spinning reels and some beeping when you hit wins, which is definitely a drawback. Anyway, the classic-loving audience won’t find anything to complain about here.

The 3 Coins Hold and Win is accessible on any device, and all you need to start playing is to place a bet of at least €0.1, and stakes up to €80 per spin are available.

Speaking of symbols, you need to land 3 matching symbols adjacently on a payline to score a payout. At the lower end is an X, paying 1x your bet for combinations of three. Moving up, we see four gemstones of different shapes and colors, which are worth from 4x to 16x the bet. Gold bars, bells, and red lucky sevens are the most rewarding, paying 20x, 30x, and 50x the bet respectively. Wild symbols are also included, which stand in for any other regular symbols in winning combinations. More than that, combinations of three Wild symbols are worth 50x your stake.
3 Coins Hold and Win Slot Features
As the title hints, coins are what lead you to great payouts. They are bonus symbols, and each coin comes with a random bet multiplier value, which can be 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 14x, 16x, 18x, or 20x. Coins can only land on the middle reel during the base game, and when a full stack of 3 coin symbols appears, the Hold and Win feature gets activated.

The triggering symbols lock in place, while players receive 4 Respins to start with and proceed to special reels consisting only of bonus symbols. Each new bonus symbol also turns sticky and resets the number of respins back to 4. In addition to coins, diamond symbols can randomly appear on the reels to award a massive cash prize of either 100x, 150x, 200x, 250x, 300x, 350x, 400x, 450x, or 500x the total bet. The bonus game continues until there are no respins left or the entire grid is filled with bonus symbols. At the end of the feature, all values in view are summed up and paid to the player.
Review Summary
All said and done, 3 Coins Hold and Win caters to all fans of the classics who are willing to get new experiences. Developer 3 Oaks did a great job of mixing up the old-school theme with modern gameplay elements, which is bound to be enjoyed by slotters. For those who don’t like the setting much, there’s an Egyptian version of the game, which is basically the same but in another skin.
