Hold and Win is one of the more visible mechanics across Dragon Gaming’s slot range. In 3 Golden Nuggets – Hold and Win, the bonus can trigger with six or more Nuggets or with the required combination of special symbols. Occupied positions remain locked during the feature, while newly landed symbols reset the respin counter. BOOST adds values to other symbols, MULTI multiplies them, COLLECT gathers visible values, and a Mystery Symbol can transform into another feature or jackpot. Filling all 15 positions is linked to the Grand Jackpot.
Dragon Fortune Coins – Hold and Win uses a different interpretation of the same broad concept. Its base game has a 3×3 grid, while a Golden Dragon Coin on the centre reel activates the Collector and gathers visible prizes. The bonus includes four fixed jackpots, and the game page offers four Bonus Buy options with different prices and starting conditions. This illustrates how Dragon Gaming changes the structure of a familiar mechanic from one release to another.
In Buffalo Bounty XL™ – Spin and Lock, four adjacent buffalo symbols activate Spin & Lock. Symbols remain in place, the counter resets to three whenever another qualifying symbol lands, and individual buffalo may carry multipliers or Mini, Minor, Major and Grand values. Free Spins can also introduce Instant Win, Ultra Spin and Jumbo Symbol features.
Other releases depart further from reel-based Hold and Win structures. Cash Kong Bonanza™ combines cascades with cluster payouts, while Chick VS Croc™ is a step-based risk game in which the player moves through a sequence and decides whether to continue. Dragon Gaming mechanics are therefore best assessed game by game rather than treated as a single bonus template.
