Unique 3x5x3 field and powerful Striking Crown symbol headline regal release

Playson, the accomplished digital entertainment supplier, has incorporated a brand-new 3x5x3 reel set to deliver a regal twist to the gameplay in its latest release, Crown Strike: Hold and Win.

The unique game field with 15 paylines brings a new dimension to Playson’s iconic portfolio, with the expanded grid now allowing up to five Striking Crown symbols to land on the middle reel only for increased win potential.

Striking Crown symbols act as a Collect Feature during both base and Bonus Games, accumulating the value of all Bonus symbols and adding them to the total win. Bonus symbols appear with set multipliers of up to 12x, or as one of four in-game Jackpots symbols worth between 15x (Mini) and 1,000x (Grand).

Players also benefit from the Pile of Diamonds Feature, which can randomly trigger the Bonus Game whenever a Bonus symbol lands during base play by adding enough Bonus or Striking Crown symbols.

Crown Strike: Hold and Win includes two Bonus Buy options in permitted markets, allowing players to purchase access to either a standard Bonus Game with one or more Striking Crowns, or a Super Bonus Game with three or more, adding further flexibility and excitement to the experience.

The high-energy release demonstrates Playson’s expertise in advancing the Hold and Win gaming experience, developing new concepts that attract the attention of players and deliver more engagement opportunities for operators worldwide.

Tamas Kusztos, CCO at Playson, said: “With Crown Strike: Hold and Win, we are proud to introduce our distinctive new game field structure to our portfolio. The title blends powerful features and a unique layout to deliver a fresh and rewarding experience.

“We are confident Crown Strike: Hold and Win will make a strong impact across our operator network by delivering more value and engagement.”
