Volcano Power — Hold & Hit 3×3 from Spinomenal

Published

volcano-power-—-hold-&-hit-3×3-from-spinomenal

Renowned iGaming content creator Spinomenal has launched its newest exciting venture, Volcano Power – Hold & Hit 3×3.

The 3×3 reels of Volcano Power – Hold & Hit 3×3 are enclosed in a glowing golden frame on a surface of lava, shimmering embers, and volcanic stones. From the initial spin, players are captivated by a powerful, exhilarating soundtrack that conjures the explosive energy of a volcanic eruption.

The Wild is symbolized by a Tiki Mask, which substitutes for all other symbols except for Bonus and Bonus Collect. In Volcano Power – Hold & Hit 3×3, there are two Special Bonus symbols in action: the Bonus shows up exclusively on reels one and three, whereas Bonus Collect is found solely on reel two.

The Bonus Game starts when Bonus symbols land on reels one and three with a Bonus Collect symbol on reel two. All the while, the symbols that triggered the feature remain fixed in position. Only Bonus and Bonus Collect icons can show up on the reels during the Bonus Game, commencing with three spins. Along with the potential to activate in-game jackpots, every spin presents an opportunity to earn multipliers of x1, x2, x5, x7, x10, and x15.

All Bonus Collect symbols accumulate the value of every Bonus symbol that appears, incorporating it into their ongoing total. The spin counter resets to three every time a new Bonus or Bonus Collect symbol appears. The round concludes after three consecutive losses or when the total prizes achieve the maximum x5000 multiplier.

While playing, in-game jackpot symbols such as Grand, Major, Minor, and Mini can appear and instantly grant the corresponding jackpot.

To accelerate access to the Bonus Game, the Bonus Blast Feature may occasionally trigger, spreading additional Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols over the reels.

Even when a Bonus Collect symbol doesn’t trigger the Bonus Game by appearing with one or more Bonus symbols, including in-game Jackpot symbols, it still gathers their values and directly adds them to the total win.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Volcano Power – Hold & Hit 3×3 erupts onto the scene with explosive visuals, gripping gameplay, and massive win potential. We’ve designed a game that delivers heat from the first spin and keeps building toward fiery jackpots.”
