Double the fun with Playson’s Royal Joker: Hold and Win
Playson, the fast-growing digital entertainment supplier, has released Royal Joker: Hold and Win, building on the company’s well-loved series of “Royal” themed games with plenty of opportunities for players to crown themselves in glory.
The rightful heir to successful Playson titles such as Royal Coins 2: Hold and Win, this latest instalment leans on the classic fruit style gameplay that players are already accustomed to and introduces new features for them to explore.
The popular Bonus Game, powered by Hold and Win mechanics, is enhanced with the inclusion of the Joker’s Multiplier feature. During the mode, Joker symbols that make an appearance leave a x2 multiplier in the cell, with every new inclusion in the same spot increasing the multiplier by one and remaining in place until the Bonus Game ends. Bonus symbols that land in these modified cells see winnings increased by the corresponding multiplier.
Further elevating the Bonus Game is the Royal Bonus feature, which can only land on reel 2 and sticks throughout the mode. This powerful symbol gathers all Bonus values, as well as the title’s Mini, Minor, Major and Grand jackpots, delivering significant win potential for players.
Royal Joker: Hold and Win is complete with the inclusion of Playson’s increasingly popular Pile of Gold feature, which can randomly trigger access to the Bonus Game during the main game, as well as add symbols with x2 multiplier during the respins mode.
Tamas Kusztos, Chief Commercial Officer at Playson, said: “It’s incredibly exciting to release Royal Joker: Hold and Win, a game we expect will deliver strong engagement thanks to the inclusion of new features alongside existing mechanics that resonate with players.”
Natalia Shkarbanova, Product Owner at Playson, added: “We’re sure fans of our Royal series of games will appreciate this latest adventure, particularly with the new Joker’s Multiplier feature that they can explore. Once again, we’re showcasing our ability to take a classic theme forward and introduce new variations to the gameplay.”

Liquor & Gaming NSW is seeking feedback from industry, stakeholders and the community on how public lotteries are run in NSW.
The Public Lotteries Regulation 2016 is due to expire on 1 September 2026 and Liquor & Gaming NSW intends to renew the regulation to support the legislative framework for lottery regulation, while ensuring it remains fit for purpose.
Public consultation is a key part of the process and the draft Public Lotteries Regulation 2026 and Regulatory Impact Statement will be open for consultation until Friday 10 July.
It is proposed that the regulation will retain most of the existing provisions with some minor amendments to modernise the regulatory framework, remove outdated provisions and improve clarity, consistency and effectiveness.
Before the draft regulation can be remade, legislation requires a formal process of review be undertaken, which includes consultation with the public, interest groups and industry or businesses likely to be affected by the draft regulation.
It’s important for public lotteries to be conducted properly and in line with community interests and expectations, with appropriate harm minimisation measures.
The regulation supports the legislation by setting the standards around the conduct of public lotteries and puts in place consumer protections for people who buy lottery tickets.
