Racing Royalty — Habanero’s High-Speed Hold-and-Ride Thrill
Slot integrates re-spin features with race-themed gameplay in anticipation of the Cheltenham festival.
Habanero, a prominent provider of online slots and table games, has launched Racing Royalty, a dynamic slot featuring Hold and Ride mechanics with a symbol locking maximum win potential reaching up to 1,324x.
Set on a 5×4 grid with 25 paylines, Racing Royalty infuses the excitement of the racetrack into the reels with its captivating gameplay. Double horse icons show up consistently in the base game, charging across the reels and counting as two symbols for winning combinations, thereby doubling any potential payout.
Once the Hold and Ride option is enabled, symbols remain fixed and re-spinning starts. Fresh symbols that secure the position and reset the spins, enabling the feature to persist and gain momentum, while Wilds can also stabilize to maintain the re-spins in action.
Free Games activate when three Scatter symbols appear on reels 1, 3, and 5, while the Hold and Ride feature remains in effect during the entire round.
Racing Royalty features Habanero’s proven engagement tools, such as the Jackpot Race and Buy Feature, catering to various regulated markets.
The title broadens Habanero’s collection of high-performing slots, emphasizing the studio’s commitment to straightforward mechanics, familiar themes, and reliable gameplay on various devices.
Toni Karapetrov, Head of Corporate Communications at Habanero, said: “Racing Royalty is designed to deliver straightforward, momentum-led gameplay. The Hold and Ride mechanic provides a clear focal point, while the locked Wilds and Free Games structure allow the experience to build.
“As with all our releases, the aim is to create a slot that balances strong thematic presentation with reliable performance for our operator partners.”
