“Hold and Spin” on Pragmatic Play: seven games with the name compared, from a 500x 3×3 classic to a 20,000x cap
Short answer — Seven Pragmatic Play slots carry “Hold and Spin” (or “Hold & Spin”) in the name on the official site. They share one mechanic: money symbols stick, and each new one resets the respin counter, usually to three. Six of them sit between 96.52% and 96.71% RTP. Big Bass – Hold & Spinner is the exception at 96.07%, while its Megaways version is 96.70%. The biggest figures are a full-grid wheel: Hot to Burn Hold and Spin states a 20,000x cap, and Joker’s Jewels Hold & Spin adds 10,000x for a full grid. We read all seven pages on 19 October 2026.
The respin rule is the same everywhere, so the differences are in how a full grid is rewarded and in the RTP. This guide sets them side by side.

How a Hold and Spin round runs
When enough money symbols land, they lock in place and the other positions respin. Every new money symbol sticks and resets the counter. The round ends when the respins run out or the grid is full, and all values are paid. As an illustrative example of our own, on a ₱10 bet: the round starts with three coins of 2x, 5x and 3x. A new 10x coin resets the count, then three empty respins end the round. It pays 20x, or ₱200.
What a full grid is worth
- Hot to Burn Hold and Spin: a full grid spins the Big Money Wheel for 10x–5,000x, and keeps spinning after each prize. Stated cap: 20,000x.
- Joker's Jewels Hold & Spin: money symbols up to 5,000x, plus 10,000x for filling the grid.
- Dragon Hot Hold and Spin: covering the screen activates the Big Wheel Money Bonus with multipliers up to 5,000x.
- Floating Dragon Hold and Spin: diamonds of 100x–4,993x, with a stated 5,000x cap.
- Ultra Hold and Spin: a 3×3 classic with a diamond money symbol worth up to 500x.
The Big Bass versions use “lives”
Big Bass – Hold & Spinner starts its bonus with three coins and four “lives” rather than three respins, and lives reset whenever a coin lands. The Megaways version uses three respins and adds the usual fisherman free spins, with unlimited retriggers. The two differ by 0.63 RTP points: ₱393 against ₱330 of expected cost per ₱10,000 bet, by our calculation.
Which one to open
- For the largest stated ceiling, choose Hot to Burn Hold and Spin.
- For a full-grid prize you can name in advance, choose Joker’s Jewels Hold & Spin (10,000x).
- For quick 3×3 play, choose Ultra Hold and Spin.
- If you like Big Bass, the Megaways Hold & Spinner has the much better RTP of the two.
