All Men Are Brothers

Hold and Respin, or 'Hold & Win', is one of the most popular core bonus game mechanics in modern slots. The essence of this feature, unlike traditional free spins, is to 'Hold' bonus symbols on the reels and 'Respin' the remaining empty spaces to fill up the screen. This system was popularized worldwide through 'Money Train 2's' 'Money Cart Bonus' and is the foundation for numerous developer-specific brand features like Wazdan's 'Hold the Jackpot™' and Playtech's 'Fire Blaze™'.

A Bonus Game is a special reward stage that activates when a specific condition is met (usually the appearance of 3 or more 'Bonus' symbols), transitioning from the spinning reels to a completely new and separate game screen. This is different from features like free spins, where new rules are added to the existing reels. The core of a bonus game is to provide a new experience, as if you are enjoying a 'mini-game within the game', completely breaking away from the basic slot gameplay.
