Designed with multiple layers, this slot has a rocky start but a fun bonus round that can help you smash different features and their prizes.

Rock Vegas Mega Hold & Spin slot design

Hidden deep in the jungle is Rock Vegas Mega Hold & Spin with a prehistoric Paleolithic theme. Its reels are set in a dense jungle while a caveman stands beside the reels to whack it anytime. It is also designed with a jazzy sound that plays in the background during the gameplay.

Checking out its paytable, its low-paying symbols include the Royals: A, K, Q, J, and 10. Its high-paying symbols include the Mammoth, Dinosaur, White Sabertooth Tiger, and the Caveman. There is also a Bonus symbol that looks like a huge Boulder.

Rock Vegas Mega Hold & Spin features

This slot features a grid with 5 reels and 3 rows. The reels are filled with Scatters, Respins, Mystery Chests, Multipliers, and more for a wild adventure that revolves around Mega Hold & Spin. To fill the entire reel and reach the final destination of the trail, let’s check out how its symbols and bonus features work.

Bonus Scatter

We didn’t find any Wild symbol but we spotted a Scatter symbol on the grid. You can spot this as a Rock symbol with a BONUS text on it. The Bonus Scatter symbol can appear on the reels and trigger the bonus game. As the main event in Rock Vegas Mega Hold&Spin, this is the most important symbol that you should keep an eye on.

Mega Hold & Spin Bonus Game

The Mega Hold & Spin Bonus Game is triggered each time you land 3 to 6 Bonus Scatter symbols on the same spin. Another way to trigger this feature is if the Caveman jumps into action to hit the reel after a losing spin. This adds a random number of Bonus Scatters and activates the prehistoric reel brawl. Moreover, activating this feature expands the grid into 10 reels and 10 rows.

This bonus game also fills the reels with Rock symbols only or blank positions. These Rocks can land in different colors like blue, green, yellow, pink, and red that are worth 0.1x to 1x the stake.

But this bonus round can be upgraded too if you land more than 3 Bonus Scatters during this round. For instance, landing 4 Scatters eliminates all Blue Rock symbols on the reels. Meanwhile, landing 5 Scatters eliminates all Blue and Green Rocks for the entire bonus game.

Respins

This game comes with 3 Respins and all Rocks that appear on the 10×10 grid become Sticky. You just need to lock 1 single Rock in place to reset the number of Respins into 3 again. The Respin continues until the expanded reels are filled with Sticky symbols or you run out of Respin chances.

Forming a winning cluster with 2×2, or 3×3 matching Rock symbols merged them into a single huge Rock. At the same time, a random Multiplier is assigned to each merged symbol:

• 2×2 size = 5x to 10x Multiplier
• 3×3 size = 35x to 500x Multiplier

The win from these clusters is multiplied by its displayed factor. For instance, a 2×2 cluster with 4 red rocks awards a 4×1.0 value x5 =20x the bet if it includes a 5x Multiplier. However, the wins from Rocks outside any winning cluster will not take advantage of the Multiplier. Furthermore, there is a chance to land a random number of Rocks after the Respin.

Mystery Chests

To keep the fun going, the Key Trail on the left side of the screen can also have an impact on your payouts. Any Rock symbol can appear marked with a Key on top of it that is added to the meter. Achieving the first 2 thresholds on the trail will unlock the Mystery Chest and randomly award any of the following extras:

• Rock Multiplier = this picks a random Rock symbol that is multiplied to a random factor between 0.5x to 500x the stake. This instantly collects the displayed amount on top of the trail.
• Money Award = this instantly pays a random coin win that ranges between 10x and 500x. This is also added on top of the trail that is displayed.
• Extra Keys = this award 4 to 10 keys that are instantly added to the trail. This also awards random extras before the next Respin starts. 
• Total Win Multiplier = this awards a random Multiplier that ranges between 2x to 100x that is applied to the total win in the bonus game. If you collected more than one Multiplier during this feature, the Multipliers will be multiplied by each other.
• Retrigger = this extra feature activates the retrigger once you use up all your Respins. Thus, this collects all your current wins before the grid is cleared. This also resets the feature while keeping the current winning amounts, keys, and the total Win Multipliers intact.

Mystery Multiplier

Reaching the final spot on the Key Trail awards the Mystery Multiplier that ranges between 2x and 100x the stake. Any Win Multiplier that is displayed on top of the bar is multiplied by its revealed factor. Then, the trail is cleared to make room for more keys to collect. This means that you can trigger chests and extra prizes again.
