Which of the two bonuses should you choose in Catch the Gold Hold and Win?

It is up to the player: Big Catch gives 5 spins with a 3×3 grid filled by one symbol, while VIP Only gives 8 spins featuring only high- and medium-value symbols.

How many jackpots are available in Hold & Win?

There are three levels — Mini (x20), Major (x100), and Mega (x1000). To win them, you need to fill 1 to 3 horizontal lines with coins.

What does the Collect symbol do in Hold & Win?

It collects the values of all coins on the screen into one large payout.

What does Buy +250% Chance do?

It slightly increases the bet in exchange for a higher chance of triggering Free Spins or Hold & Win. It cannot be used together with a direct Bonus Buy.

How many Scatters are needed to trigger Free Spins?

Three, and they must land specifically on reels 1, 3, and 5 in a single spin.

Catch the Gold Hold and Win (BGaming) Play Online

The cruise ship sets sail with a captain Wild greeting passengers by the reels — Catch the Gold Hold and Win from BGaming offers a luxury trip with three Hold & Win jackpots and a choice between two Free Spins parties.

25 paylines, 5×3 grid, Medium-high volatility, 94.98% RTP, Hit Rate 2.22, up to x2,000 max multiplier.

How it works

The captain Wild substitutes for any symbol in a winning line except Scatter and Coin. Scatter tickets land on reels 1, 3, and 5 and trigger Free Spins once 3 or more appear.

Bonus features

💡 Free Spins choice — Big Catch or VIP Only

3 Scatters trigger the Free Spins round, where you get to pick one of two options, each with its own Retrigger feature: Big Catch gives 5 spins where a 3×3 grid on reels 2–4 fills with the same symbol, while VIP Only offers 8 spins featuring only high- and middle-paying symbols alongside Coins.

💡 Hold & Win and jackpots

6 or more Coins landing at once trigger a Bonus round with 3 respins featuring only Coins of varying values. Every Coin that lands stays sticky and retriggers respins. Filling 1, 2, or 3 horizontal lines with Coins earns a Mini (x20), Major (x100), or Mega Jackpot (x1,000) respectively. A random Collect symbol sums up the value of every Coin on screen.

💡 Buy Bonus and Buy +250% Chance

Buy Bonus lets you purchase Hold & Win or Free Spins directly at a price that scales with your bet. Buy +250% Chance instead slightly raises your bet while boosting the odds of naturally triggering either bonus — the two features are mutually exclusive.

Volatility

Medium-high volatility with a 2.22 Hit Rate points to less frequent returns — a 94.98% RTP sits below the market average. The main potential is split between two bonus paths: Hold & Win jackpots up to x1,000 stake, and a choice between Big Catch and VIP Only during Free Spins, with the overall ceiling capped at x2,000 stake (up to €250,000 listed max win).

Pros

Three jackpot tiers — Mini, Major, and Mega — within a single Hold & Win round
A choice between two Free Spins versions to match different player preferences
Retrigger potential available in both Free Spins options
Buy Bonus and Buy +250% Chance offer flexibility in approaching the bonus

Cons

The 94.98% RTP sits below the market average
A 2.22 Hit Rate points to relatively rare wins in the base game
The x2,000 ceiling is more modest than many other slots in the provider's lineup
