St Patricks Pots Hold And Win: how Hold and Win works
St Patricks Pots Hold And Win tells you two things in its name: an Irish St Patrick's Day theme with pots of gold, and the Hold and Win mechanic. We do not state the developer or RTP, as they are not confirmed. The genre is common enough to explain how it usually works and what to look for in this game's panel.
How Hold and Win usually works
In games of this type the bonus round starts when a set number of special symbols — here, presumably, pots — land on the reels. They stay in place and you get a few respins. Each new special symbol also sticks and usually resets the respin counter. The round ends when respins run out or the grid is full.
- Special symbols usually carry a value — a multiplier or a fixed prize.
- Some games add fixed jackpots for certain symbols or a full grid.
- The exact rules are in the game panel.
What to check in the panel
Look at how many symbols trigger the round, how many respins you get, which values symbols can carry and whether fixed prizes scale with your stake. The last point matters: a "fixed" prize is often multiplied by the stake, so its real size changes when you change the bet.
Between bonus rounds
Most of the return in such games is concentrated in the bonus round, so the balance can fall in between. Pick a stake your budget can carry through a long stretch without a feature.
Feature buys and bonuses
If the game lets you buy the bonus round, bonus terms often forbid that while a bonus is active or exclude it from wagering. Check the bonus terms before buying.
After a big round
When a bonus round lands a notable amount, stop. Check for an active bonus with unmet wagering, make sure verification is complete — large payouts can need extra documents — and request the withdrawal without playing the win while it is processed. Large amounts may be split by withdrawal limits shown in the cashier. More on Withdrawals and statuses.
