Ultimate Hold 'N' Win

Ultimate Hold 'N' Win from Booming Games starts on a 5x3 fruit-machine grid and expands to a 5x5 playing field mid-session, a grid shift that also bumps the payline count from 20 to 30. That expansion is driven by Bursting Wilds, purple-base symbols that unlock extra rows when they land. Pair the grid growth with a Hold 'N' Win bonus that carries an unlimited multiplier, and you have a high-volatility video slot with a 5,000x max win available on desktop and mobile at Wild.io.

What is Ultimate Hold 'N' Win?

Ultimate Hold 'N' Win is a 5x3 video slot from Booming Games with a 95.5% RTP, high volatility, and a top win of 5,000x the total bet. It plays on 20 fixed paylines in the base game, expanding to 30 when the grid grows to 5x5. The standout mechanics are the Bursting Wilds that trigger the grid expansion and a Hold 'N' Win bonus where a multiplier increases by 1x for every winning respin, uncapped up to 10x.

The bonus buy option at 75x the bet makes this a game that high-frequency bonus players can target directly. Booming Games built the fruit symbols as a classic-slots homage, with cherries, grapes, lemons, plums, and watermelons as the low tier and Triple Sevens, Bells, Shamrocks, and BARs anchoring the high-value paytable. The combination of retro symbols and an expanding grid mechanic is unusual in the hold-and-win category and gives the game a distinct identity among jackpot slots.

Ultimate Hold 'N' Win Slot Theme & Graphics

Ultimate Hold 'N' Win uses a classic Las Vegas-style fruit machine aesthetic on its reels, with neon-lit cherries, golden bells, and polished BAR tiles sitting against a glowing casino backdrop. The colour palette is warm gold and deep red, nodding to the retro slot machines that the symbol set evokes.

Where the visual design becomes distinctive is the grid expansion sequence. When a Bursting Wild lands, the reel frame physically shifts and extends downward, revealing the additional rows with an animation that makes the mechanic feel consequential rather than cosmetic. The sound design shifts at this point as well, using a higher register to signal the grid change to the player. The Hold 'N' Win bonus maintains that elevated energy as the multiplier counter climbs.

Ultimate Hold 'N' Win Slot Symbols & Paytables

Ultimate Hold 'N' Win organises its symbols into a classic two-tier structure of fruit lows and retro-casino highs, with a dedicated set of bonus symbols that power the Hold 'N' Win mechanics. The symbol set reads instantly for anyone familiar with fruit machines.

Low Value Symbols

The low-value tier is five fruit symbols: grapes, watermelons, lemons, plums, and cherries. These award 0.25x to 2x the stake for three to five of a kind on a payline. They appear on all reels in the base game and provide the steady hit frequency that keeps base-game play moving. In the Hold 'N' Win feature they do not occupy coin or collect positions, so their only role in the bonus is to fill non-coin positions on the 5x5 grid.

• Grapes
• Watermelon
• Lemon
• Plum
• Cherry

High Value Symbols

The four high-value symbols are Triple Sevens, Bells, Shamrocks, and BARs. Triple Sevens pay the most, at 10x the bet for five of a kind, followed by Bells (5x), Shamrocks (4x), and BARs (3x). These are the symbols worth targeting during the Bursting Wild grid expansion, as five-of-a-kind wins on 30 paylines in the expanded grid are the primary base-game revenue source. They also appear on the 5x5 hold-and-win grid as potential landing positions between coin and collect symbols.

• Triple Sevens
• Bells
• Shamrocks
• BARs

Special Symbols

Wilds are the Bursting Wild variant with a distinctive purple base; they substitute for all symbols except Bonus Scatters and, when they land, trigger the full grid-expansion sequence. Bonus Scatters activate the Hold 'N' Win feature when two or more land. Value Coin symbols are the engine of the Hold 'N' Win bonus, each carrying a fixed cash value between 0.40x and 100x the bet that locks in place when landed. Collect symbols gather all locked coin values on the grid and clear the board, enabling multiple collection cycles within a single bonus round.

• Wild (Bursting Wild, purple base)
• Bonus Scatter (triggers Hold N Win)
• Value Coin symbols (0.40x-100x in bonus)
• Collect symbols (gather prizes and clear board)

Ultimate Hold 'N' Win Bonus Feature & Special Features

Bursting Wilds

Bursting Wilds are a special wild variant identified by their purple base colour. When one lands on the reels, it does not simply substitute for other symbols; instead, each Bursting Wild triggers a burst animation that unlocks the hidden rows below the standard 5x3 grid, expanding the playing field to its full 5x5 capacity. The payline count climbs from 20 to 30 to reflect the larger grid. Once the expansion occurs, the Bursting Wilds themselves extend to cover their entire reel column, potentially giving wild coverage across all five rows of one or more reels. Multiple Bursting Wilds on the same spin compound this effect. For the player, the grid expansion is the primary excitement trigger in the base game and a necessary precursor to entering the Hold 'N' Win bonus at maximum scale.

Hold 'N' Win Bonus with Unlimited Multiplier

The Hold 'N' Win bonus activates when two or more Bonus Scatter symbols land, ideally on the expanded 5x5 grid. The standard 5x5 layout becomes 25 individual reel positions, each capable of hosting a Value Coin or Collect symbol. You start with three respins; each new coin landing on the grid resets the counter to three, extending the bonus. What makes this feature stand apart from standard hold-and-win games is the multiplier mechanic: after each winning respin, the active multiplier increases by 1x, starting from 1x and climbing up to 10x. A winning respin is defined as one where at least one new coin lands. A run of consecutive winning respins builds the multiplier steadily, substantially amplifying payouts compared to a flat-multiplier respin structure. The Collect symbol gathers all locked values and resets the board, allowing another accumulation cycle within the same bonus round. The combination of the uncapped multiplier climb and the 5x5 grid is where the 5,000x max win potential originates.

Bonus Buy

The bonus buy option costs 75x the total bet and provides direct access to the Hold 'N' Win feature without requiring the organic Bursting Wild and Bonus Scatter sequence. For players who want to target the multiplier bonus specifically, this provides a defined cost-per-entry that bypasses base-game variance. Availability depends on jurisdiction and Wild.io account settings.
