What Are the Special Features in Big Bang Bonus: Hold & Win?
Online pokies NZ such as Big Bang Bonus: Hold & Win are packed with plenty of explosive win potential.
Hold & Win Free Spins
Landing six Gold Pans, or Mystery and Jackpot Symbols, activates the Hold & Win Bonus Game. Starting with three retriggerable Free Spins, only Gold Pan, Mystery, empty and Jackpot Symbols may appear during this round. They also remain locked until all prizes are collected at the end!
The potential Jackpots you could win are:
-
Mini: 20x
-
Minor: 50x
-
Major: 100x
-
Grand: 1,000x
Things get even more explosive with the Dynamite Sticks at the top of the mine. Triggering Hold & Win pushes these sticks to the next level, unlocking Multipliers that are added to Cash Prizes.
Cash Prizes and Mystery Symbols
Gold Pans may appear on the reels during any base game spin. Along with lucrative golden nuggets, each pan carries Cash Prizes worth up to an impressive 5x your stake, or a Mystery amount between 10x and 15x.
But remember, Cash Prize and Mystery Symbol values can only be collected during the Bonus Game.
Gold Chunks
Those golden nuggets aren’t just for show, either. They represent Gold Chunks with Multipliers, which are thrown above the reels by their corresponding Gold Pan, Mystery or Jackpot Symbols. And, even better, each Gold Chunk may trigger Hold & Win!
Wild Symbols
As well as paying 50x your bet, Wild barrels can replace any other regular paytable symbol to complete winning combos.
Free to Play Mode
Want to hunt for gold without risking your existing stack? Try Big Bang Bonus: Hold & Win in demo mode first to see Free Spins and Dynamite explosions in action for free! There’s no need to register or download the pokie, either. Then, when you’re more experienced in mining, switch to real-money play. It’s really that simple.
