Ultra Hold and Spin — RTP, volatility and max win

Ultra Hold and Spin gives the classic Reel Kingdom fruit slot a fiery edge: cherries, lemons, plums, strawberries and watermelons spin alongside gold coins. Land enough coins and the hold-and-win bonus begins, where they lock in place and every new coin extends the re-spins.

Ultra Hold and Spin came out on August 28, 2020 from Reel Kingdom. Its small 3×3 window and 5 paylines copy the old fruit machine. The fruit are the regular symbols, the coins carry their own values and feed the bonus, and flames frame the reels. Coins and fruit are played for €0.05 to €250 a spin, an unusually wide range for such a compact slot.

Ultra Hold and Spin pays across 5 paylines fixed over the 3×3 grid. Three identical fruit across a single line make a win. The wild fills in for a missing fruit. Coins do not pay along the lines; they collect towards the hold-and-win feature.

The wild is the only helper in the base game, completing fruit lines. The coins are where it gets interesting: each one carries its own value, and when enough land together the bonus game starts in hold-and-win style.

In that round the coins stay on their positions and re-spins begin. Every new coin resets the re-spin count, so the grid can fill up step by step. When the sequence ends, all coin values are added up and paid.

Because the coins in Ultra Hold and Spin lock in place and each new one resets the re-spins, the game belongs with the inferno slots with hold and win.

RTP 96.65%, higher than 93% of the 400 Inferno slots. Background: how RTP works on a slot. Volatility Medium-high, like 28 of the 182 slots in the Fire & flame theme. Background: what slot volatility means. Max win 500× (€125,000 at the highest stake).

An RTP of 96.65% is among the strongest figures in the inferno catalogue. The max win is small by contrast: 500× beats the ceiling of only about 4% of the catalogue.

Medium-high volatility with such a low cap means the swings come almost entirely from the hold-and-win stage, depending on how many coins gather before the re-spins run out.

Casinos run this game at more than one RTP level, and RTP of inferno slots shows which other titles come in different settings too.
