Smash and Win mechanic boosted by three Special Features and powerful Free Spins to elevate entertainment

Playson, the accomplished digital entertainment supplier, welcomes players to join the party with Paddy Star: Smash and Win, where a charismatic leprechaun host and his Piggy Banks introduce the supplier’s innovative new mechanic.

The brand-new Smash and Win feature activates when the leprechaun Wild symbol combines with any Bonus or Jackpot icon. It unlocks their values and adds them to the winning spin in the Main Game or to the total win during Free Spins. This fresh mechanic is enhanced by three randomly triggered Special Features that can activate during a single spin.

Paddy Spin guarantees Wild and Bonus symbols, while Jackpot Nudge rewinds a random number of icons to reveal Jackpot symbols when the Wild lands on the central reel. Wild Nudge rewinds the centre cell of the third reel to land on the Wild symbol, with each feature capable of transforming an ordinary spin into something magnificent.

The title’s animated Piggy Banks, positioned above the reels, receive coins from the Wild symbol during both the Main Game and Free Spins. Each has the power to trigger six Free Spins, offering the opportunity to land a total of 12 if both activate at the same time. Free Spins can then retrigger, extending the party-level energy.

Four in-game Jackpots, from a 10x Mini Jackpot up to a 1,000x Grand Jackpot, add further excitement and are all paid during the Smash and Win feature only. With medium-high volatility and a max win of 2,129x, the title combines retention-proven mechanics with inventive new features.

This latest release demonstrates Playson’s talent for developing unique mechanics that enhance player engagement based on data-driven insights.

Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “Paddy Star: Smash and Win represents a fresh chapter in our commitment to innovation and delivering more to our partners. The mechanic was developed specifically for this title and brings something genuinely new to the reels.

“The combination of our Smash and Win feature, multiple themed Special Features and the dancing Piggy Bank characters creates an experience that is memorable and packed with winning potential.”

New Clover symbols and extra bet options support a stated 10,000x max win in the latest Hold and Win release.

Playson has released Pink Clovers XXXL: Hold and Win, expanding its Hold and Win mechanic with a larger game field and a new Super Collect Clover feature. The supplier said the slot includes a 10,000x maximum win.

The 20-payline title uses a 3×6 grid and introduces Super Collect Clovers that can trigger a Collect Feature with a random multiplier of up to x7, or trigger the Bonus Game. Playson said if a Super Collect Clover lands partially revealed and at least one Clover is present, the reels can nudge up or down to fully reveal it and trigger the associated feature.

In the main game, Clover symbols display values between 1x and 8x the total bet on reels 1 and 3 only, while Collect Clovers trigger the Collect Feature. During the Bonus Game, Collect or Super Collect Clovers land and stick on reel 2, while Cell Multipliers with random values between x2 and x10 can land on reels 1 and 3 and remain until applied to a Clover value; all values are added to the total win at the end of the round.

The release also includes four jackpot clovers ranging from a 15x Mini Jackpot to a 1,000x Grand Jackpot, which can land alongside Collect and Super Collect Clovers. Playson said a Pile of Clovers Feature in the main game can add enough Clovers to activate the Bonus Game.

Extra Bet options include Double Chance, which the company said doubles the likelihood of triggering the Bonus Game, and Clover Spin, which guarantees a Collect Clover and Super Collect Clover each spin and “triples the chance” of triggering the Bonus Game for 5x the total bet. A Buy Bonus feature offers Random Bonus or Super Collect Clovers Only options.

Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “Pink Clovers XXXL: Hold and Win offers a fresh surge of energy to our ever-popular Hold and Win collection. Building on the top-performing clover theme, this release adds flashes of anticipation at every spin, with a huge 3×6 game field, new Super Collect Clovers and Extra Bet options.

“This slot is built for those who enjoy striking visuals, the thrill of bigger wins with every spin and a new level of intensity.”

New 6×5 slot combines coin-merging wins with two Hold and Win bonus modes and a 10,000x maximum win, according to the supplier.

Playson has released Sugar Piggy: Hold and Win, a new online slot combining a scatter pays mechanic with two Hold and Win-style bonus games. The supplier said the title features a 6×5 reel layout and a maximum win of 10,000x.

In the main game, eight or more matching coloured Coin Symbols merge and disappear, creating space for new symbols to drop into the grid for potential additional wins. Playson said landing eight or more Coin Symbols also triggers a Hold and Win Bonus Game, which includes Multipliers of up to 10x.

A second mode, the Super Bonus Game, triggers when six or more coins land and introduces multicoloured Super Coins. Playson said these unlock Multipliers of up to 50x, and that winning symbol combinations in the Super Bonus Game also collapse to allow new symbols to fill their positions.

The release also includes a Sugar Piggy Feature that adds Coins and Super Coins at random during the main game, plus four jackpot tiers, with the Grand Jackpot paying up to x1,000 if all cells are filled. Playson said players can use an Extra Bet Feature to increase the chance of triggering bonus modes, while a Buy Bonus option provides direct access to either bonus.

Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “Sugar Piggy: Hold and Win builds on a fun, arcade-style vibe by adding powerful Multipliers and huge rewards. By offering the popular dual bonuses, wins feel more dynamic, creating an energetic experience that keeps players engaged.

“This universal piggy bank character adds a real sense of fun and nostalgia for players, with its balance growing as more coins are inserted.”

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.”
