Playson unveils brand-new mechanic in Paddy Star: Smash and Win
Reading Time: 2 minutes
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.”

3 Supercharged Diamonds: Hold and Win
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.”

Shimmering Multipliers Elevate the Classic Fun in Playson’s Timeless Diamonds: Hold and Win
Retro 3×3 grid sparks nostalgia through a variety of data-driven mechanics.
Playson, the renowned digital entertainment provider, has infused excitement into the reels of Timeless Diamonds: Hold and Win, where dazzling multipliers, four in-game jackpots reaching 1,000x, and an enhanced Collect feature elevate the traditional slot experience.
Vegas allure captivates the reels with fruit icons embellishing the 3×3 grid, as abundant diamonds introduce a variety of captivating twists, enhancing the win potential in both the Main and Bonus Games.
To unlock the Hold and Win Bonus Game, it’s essential to land a Bonus symbol on each reel, featuring only Bonus symbols like Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand jackpots, as well as Collects and Multipliers.
Any Multiplier that lands on a position leaves a 2x value, while additional Multipliers on the same cell rise by 1x with each occurrence. When a Bonus symbol appears in a cell featuring a Multiplier, the payout for the Bonus symbol is enhanced by that Multiplier, and all Multipliers that appear stay on the cells until the feature concludes.
Honoring the nostalgic essence of the release, the classic Collect feature makes a comeback, activated when the Collect symbol appears next to any Bonus symbol. Enhancing base gameplay, when the Collect symbol appears without any Bonus symbols, random symbols might be inserted onto the reels to activate the feature. Similarly, if one or multiple Bonus symbols appear without a Collect icon, Collect symbols can be included to activate the feature.
The Extra Bonus Game provides an additional route to Bonus play when any Bonus or Collect symbols land on the reels during the Main Game. This adds Bonus and Collect symbols in quantity enough to launch the Bonus Game.
Timeless Diamonds: Hold and Win underlines Playson’s ability to reimagine the classic slot experience with meticulous enhancements to its top-performing mechanics, capturing the imagination of slot enthusiasts globally.
Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “Timeless Diamonds: Hold and Win blends classic slot nostalgia with carefully refined, data-driven mechanics to deliver a truly engaging experience. By pairing a retro 3×3 fruit layout with shimmering Multipliers, four jackpot tiers and an enhanced Collect feature, we have created a title that combines simplicity and excitement.
“With added depth in the Hold and Win Bonus and further opportunities through the Extra Bonus Game, this release showcases our focus on evolving proven mechanics to maximise player engagement and operator appeal.”
