3 Lucky Monkeys Hold & Win slot review
Three monkeys sit above the grid, each with its own bowl: Expand, Collect, and Boost. In 3 Lucky Monkeys Hold & Win from BGaming, special coins fly into their monkey's bowl well before the bonus.
The layout on the table: a 5×3 grid, 20 paylines, Medium volatility, 96.98% RTP, a Hit Rate of 5.50, a ceiling of x5,000 (up to €250,000 by the stated max win).
What pays in the main game, and where do the coins fly?
Wins are counted across 20 lines. Wilds land on all reels, substitute for all symbols except coins, and can pay on their own. Coins pay nothing in the main game: they trigger the Hold & Win, and special coins also fly into their monkey's bowl.
What does each monkey give, and how does the Hold & Win go?
💡 Three bowls
- Expand: grows the grid from 5×3 to 5×5.
- Collect: gathers coin values without removing them from the grid.
- Boost: adds its value to every coin except Jackpot Coins.
The powers can activate before the Hold & Win or during it. The round is triggered by 6 or more coins, less often by 2 or more. It starts with 3 spins, every new coin resets the counter to 3, and the result is the sum of the collected coins.
What jackpot ladder leads up to the ceiling?
By the game's screenshots, Mini is x15, Minor x50, and Major x150. They come from Jackpot Coins that land on the grid. Grand is paid for a fully filled 5×3 grid, Royal for a filled expanded 5×5 one, and on the screenshot Royal equals x5,000, the game's ceiling.
Buy Bonus has two ways in: Random Bonus activates from one to three powers at random, and Ultra Bonus activates all three from the start. Chance slightly raises the bet and the chance of triggering the Hold & Win.
Full bowls
- The powers build up in the bowls already in the main game, so you can see what has accumulated before the bonus.
- The expansion to 5×5 opens Royal: all 25 positions have to be filled.
Empty bowls
- A new coin only resets the counter to 3 rather than adding spins.
- Grand and Royal are paid only for a fully filled grid.
Who sits down beside the monkeys, and who walks past?
| Player profile | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Someone who likes powers building up before the bonus | 🟢 Yes | coins fly into the bowls already in the main game. |
| Someone who wants into the Hold & Win with powers ready | 🟢 Likely yes | there's Random Bonus and Ultra Bonus. |
| Someone who expects payouts for coins in the main game | 🟠 Likely no | coins pay only inside the Hold & Win. |
| Someone counting on Boost to strengthen the jackpots | 🟡 Caution | Boost doesn't touch Jackpot Coins. |
⚡ Is 3 Lucky Monkeys Hold & Win worth playing?
The powers build up in the bowls before the bonus, and Random Bonus or Ultra Bonus give them without the wait. The bowls are full, and all that's left is to open the Hold & Win.
