SpinBet Hold and Win Pokies: How Respins and Jackpots Work
Hold and Win is one of the most popular pokie styles at SpinBet, and one of the most misunderstood. The base game looks like any other video pokie, but the real action starts when enough coin symbols land at once. This guide explains how the respins work, what the boosters do and how the jackpot tiers compare across the SpinBet Hold and Win pokies on this site.
Hold and Win in short
- Land enough coin or bonus symbols and they lock in place.
- You get a set of respins, usually 3, which reset whenever a new symbol lands.
- The round ends when the respins run out or the grid is full.
- Fixed jackpots such as Mini, Major and Grand pay set multiples of your stake.
How SpinBet Hold and Win Pokies Work
Every Hold and Win round follows the same loop. The triggering symbols stick, everything else spins again, and each new symbol that lands both locks in and restores your respins. The round only ends when you run out of respins or there is nowhere left to land.
A Hold and Win round in three stages
Modelled on Wolf Gold’s Money Respin, where 6 or more money symbols start 3 respins and filling all 15 positions pays the 1,000x Mega jackpot.
Land the required number of coin or bonus symbols. In Wolf Gold, Black Wolf, Sun of Egypt 5 and Elvis Frog in Vegas, that means 6.
The triggering symbols lock in place and every other position spins again.
Each new symbol locks and resets the respins, usually back to 3.
When the respins run out, every cash value on the grid is added up and paid, plus any jackpot symbols.
Covering every position usually unlocks the biggest prize in the game.
Some games, Wolf Gold included, can also trigger the respins during free spins.

Newer Hold and Win games add boosters that change the rules mid round. Booongo uses them most, and a single booster can turn an ordinary bonus into a big one.

Magic Spins, Aloha King Elvis, 15 Dragon PearlsFixed Jackpots vs Progressive Jackpots at SpinBet
Fixed jackpots
- Set multiples of your stake, such as Grand x5,000
- Grow or shrink with the stake you pick
- Shown on the game screen
- Used by every Hold and Win pokie on this site
Progressive jackpots
- A running amount rather than a multiple
- Build across a network of players until one drops
- Listed in the Progressives category at SpinBet
- Keep growing until someone wins them
Because fixed jackpots are multiples of your stake, the same Grand at $0.50 a spin pays a quarter of what it pays at $2. In 15 Dragon Pearls, a x5,000 Grand is worth $2,500 at $0.50 a spin and $10,000 at $2.
Hold and Win Features in Other SpinBet Pokies
The respin mechanic also turns up in games that are not built around it. Floating Dragon Megaways pairs free spins with a Hold and Spin feature, Elvis Frog TRUEWAYS adds a Coin Respin alongside its free spins, and Wolf Gold can trigger its Money Respin during free spins. Beyond the games on this site, the SpinBet lobby carries Hold and Win titles from Playson, Penguin King and Betsoft, including Coin Strike: Hold and Win, Grand Link Express: Hold & Win and Fury Dragon: Hold & Win.
Tips for Playing SpinBet Hold and Win Pokies
- Read the jackpot panel. Most games show the jackpot values at your current stake, so change the stake and watch them move.
- Know what a full grid pays. It is the top prize in many games, such as the 1,000x Mega in Wolf Gold.
- Learn the boosters in demo. Features like Double and Grow are far easier to follow once you have seen them. The SpinBet demo mode guide shows how.
- Mind the bonus rules. While a welcome bonus is active at SpinBet, the max bet is $25 and the max win is $10,000.
