Wazdan, the global slot supplier, is set to scale up the production of its Hold the Jackpot feature following successful launches in recent hits: Unicorn Reels, Clover Lady and Sun of Fortune.

This unique and exciting mechanics immediately gained recognition among Wazdan fans all around the world and is now universally sought-after among players. Therefore, the Hold the Jackpot feature will be incorporated across the upcoming Wazdan titles: Midnight in Tokyo, Prosperity Pearls and Fortune Reels.

Each Hold the Jackpot bonus round begins with 3 Re-spins. However, their number resets every time a new symbol is drawn on the reels, which adds even more excitement to this well-designed feature. What is more, in each game, the mechanic is enhanced and refined to create immersive gaming experiences.

Unicorn Reels was the debut game, with players on a quest to find 25 Unicorns on the reels and a clear ladder system in place for players to see their progress.  With 21 prizes on offer, three Jackpots and the chance to win the Grand Jackpot of 1,000x their stake, it has established itself as a leading product in the Wazdan portfolio.

With Bonus symbols awarding four Jackpots, Clover Lady saw the introduction of Multipliers in the form of a Direwolf symbol, with players able to magnify their win by 0.5x for every Direwolf found up to a maximum of 7x, awarding up to 3,500x a player’s stake, with the Bonus round taking place on a grid of 18 independent mini-reels.

Burning Stars 3 offers a fast-paced, 3×3 variant of the bonus mode, where players need to keep their cool in the glare of the suns to find nine symbols for a win of 2,187x if they trigger the Grand Jackpot, while smaller prizes are on offer in the other three Jackpots.

In Wazdan’s newest release, Sun of Fortune, the Hold the Jackpot bonus is all about holding Bonus symbols with cash values assigned, as well as special Mini, Minor, and Major Jackpots. At the end of the bonus round all prizes, including collected Jackpot symbols, are summed up. Filling up all 16 reels is rewarded with the Grand Jackpot worth 1,000x the bet. Players also keep other wins from the bonus round on top of the Grand Jackpot.

In the upcoming Midnight in Tokyo slot, the Hold the Jackpot bonus round will be played on 15 mini reels. Players will be able to win both Major and Grand Jackpots, triggered by cute Geisha symbols, as well as additional cash prizes from Moon symbols, as all prizes will be summed up at the end of the bonus round.

Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan, commented: “Our Hold the Jackpot products have been hugely well-received, and we’re delighted to add more of them to our roadmap, as they provide the unmistakable flavour that many players seek.

“Keep an eye on Wazdan’s upcoming additions featuring Hold the Jackpot mechanics, including: Prosperity Pearls, Fortune Reels, and Midnight in Tokyo – coming soon!”

ELA Games’ King and Flame has been named a finalist for Best New Game Release at the 2026 SiGMA Europe Awards. The awards are scheduled to take place at the Casino Maltese in Valletta, Malta, on May 27.

The company said the nomination reflects its approach of combining narrative design with slot math models. King and Flame is positioned as a medieval fantasy Hold and Win title built around a storyline that “flips classic fantasy tropes upside down,” with a prince unleashing a Dragon Queen.

According to ELA Games, the game includes coin symbols that pay their face value, Mystery Chests that can award instant prizes or trigger the Grand Jackpot, and a “Tamed by the Crown” feature where the Dragon Queen appears as an expanding Full Reel Wild. The studio also highlighted free spins with column-expanding coins and a Super Bonus Wheel that doubles rewards.

Marharyta Yerina, Managing Director of ELA Games, said: “We’re very happy to see King and Flame get a nomination at the very well-regarded SiGMA Europe awards. I know the work everyone at the ELA team put into creating an intricate back story and graphic world for this slot. It is one of the most narrative-based titles we have released to date, and the care the team put into the design has really brought that story to life. It is wonderful to see that dedication noticed on such a prestigious stage.”

SiGMA has opened public voting for the category via its awards site.

Playson releases 3 Supercharged Diamonds: Hold and Win slot

New title adds three Diamond bonus features, a Collect Diamond mechanic and four jackpots up to 1,000x.

Playson has released a new slot title, 3 Supercharged Diamonds: Hold and Win, expanding its Hold and Win catalogue with three Diamond-driven bonus features and four jackpot prizes up to 1,000x.

The game’s Hold and Win Bonus Game uses a “3 Pots” mechanic, triggered when green, yellow or violet Diamond symbols land alongside their respective Diamonds positioned above the reels. Depending on the Diamonds that land, the bonus can activate an Expand Feature (3×5 grid), Multi Feature (multipliers on reels one and three starting at 2x and increasing up to 32x), or Stepper Feature (Bonus Diamonds remain in play and move down one position after each respin).

A Collect Diamond can land only on reel two during the Bonus Game. Playson said it holds its position for the round and accumulates the value of Bonus Diamonds that land before being applied to the Total Win at the end of the feature.

Jackpots can also land during the bonus round: Mini (15x), Minor (30x), Major (100x) and Grand (1,000x). Outside the bonus, any Diamond symbol in the Main Game can randomly trigger an Extra Diamonds Feature, which Playson said can add enough Diamonds to start the Bonus Game.

Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “3 Supercharged Diamonds: Hold and Win takes one of our most recognisable game mechanics and elevates it with a collection of dynamic new features designed to maximise excitement during every bonus round.

“By combining the Expand, Multi and Stepper features with the Collect Diamond and four jackpot opportunities, we have created a release that delivers strong entertainment value and varied gameplay experiences for players worldwide.”
