Hot Hats Hold and Win

The top prize is capped at 2,700x your stake. On a $1 spin that is $2,700; on $0.20 it is $540. When the cap is reached the round usually ends immediately.

The published hit frequency is 14.61%, meaning roughly one spin in 6.8 returns something — though many of those wins are smaller than the stake.

Wild symbols

Wilds substitute for regular paying symbols to help complete winning combinations. They do not normally replace scatter or bonus symbols.

Hold and win

Landing enough special cash or coin symbols starts a respin feature: those symbols lock in place, the respin counter resets each time a new one lands, and their values are collected when the feature ends.

Bonus buy

Lets you pay a fixed multiple of your stake to enter the bonus feature straight away instead of waiting for it to trigger. It raises variance considerably and is not available in every country (it is banned in the UK).

• Treat bonus buys as high-risk. Buying the feature concentrates your budget into a few large-variance rounds. Many results return less than the price paid. Read our bonus buy guide first.
• Set limits before you spin. Decide your loss limit and session time in advance and stop when you reach either. No pattern or betting system changes the outcome of a spin.

For medium–high volatility we suggest a budget of at least 250 spins. This is what that means for Hot Hats Hold and Win.

Averages only: a short session can end far above or below them. Set a loss limit before you play.
