Slot Details

Rock Vegas Mega Hold&Spin is a video slot with five reels, three rows and 20 fixed pay lines. Wins are awarded for three or more matching symbols landing on a line from left to right only. The game has maximum volatility (5/5) with a default RTP of 96.46%. As usual, lower settings can be offered at 95.60% or 94.50%.

A dense jungle scene serves as the backdrop to this prehistoric reel adventure with a caveman standing on the side, ready to randomly whack the stone-framed grid with his wooden cudgel at any time in the base game. Various wild animals from the period populate the reels while a jazzy orchestra piece is providing the main audio to the gameplay.

The pay symbols start at the low end with card royals from 10 through to A, awarding 3.75x to 6.25x your bet for a single five of a kind. They are followed by mammoths, dinosaurs, sabre-tooth tigers and the caveman. Hit five on a line to win 12.50x to 37.50x your stake. There is no wild symbol on the reels. Lastly, a rock marked with Bonus acts as the scatter.

Rock Vegas Mega Hold&Spin Slot Features

Pragmatic Play has been churning out four slots every month on average for about the last two to three years. The high volume is not always an indicator of quality but they do tend to frequently alternate formats, grid sizes and features to keep it interesting. Admittedly, a good number of their slots such as Wolf Gold, Bigger Bass Bonanza and Fruit Party are indeed highly playable and have become favourites over time. Will Rock Vegas Mega Hold&Spin be able to achieve the same feat? Time to take a closer look.

The prehistoric reel brawl is hinging to a large extent on the Mega Hold & Spin feature. There are two ways to trigger the bonus game. Either you land three to six scatters in one spin or the caveman jumps into action after a losing spin and wacks the reels, adding a random number of scatters.

In both cases, the standard game area is replaced with a 10×10 grid that contains only blanks and a range of differently coloured rocks. The latter have each a fixed value based on their colour – blue at 0.1x, green at 0.2x, golden at 0.4x, pink at 0.6x and red at 1x your bet. Triggering the bonus game with five or four scatters will remove two and one low-value rocks, respectively. A 3-scatter trigger will have all five rocks in play.

Initially, three spins are awarded with any rock landing on a spin turning sticky and resetting the number of spins. Two display bars on the left (desktop) will keep you informed. They are counters for the currently won amount, remaining lives, round multiplier and the progression of the key collection.

Forming a cluster of 2×2 or 3×3 of matching rocks will see them being merged into a single large rock. A random multiplier will be assigned to each, ranging from 5x to 10x for the 2×2 size and 35x to 500x for the 3×3 rocks. The win from the cluster will be multiplied by the displayed factor. For example, having a 2×2 cluster with four red rocks showing a multiplier of x5 will award 4 x 1.0 symbol value x 5 = 20x your bet. The payouts for rocks outside any clusters will not benefit from the multiplier.

And there is more. At any time after a respin, there is a chance for a random number of rocks to be added to the grid. They will lock in place as well as reset the counter to three, which will keep the feature going if you were on your last respin.

Still not the end. The key trail on the left (desktop) can have a significant impact on your winnings from the feature. Any rock can land marked with a key that will be added to the meter. Reaching the first 2 thresholds on the trail will randomly award one of the following extras:

• Rock Multiplier: One sticky rock symbol is randomly chosen and its value multiplied by a random factor between x0.5 and x500. The amount is instantly collected in the display at the top of the trail.
• Money Award: A random coin win between 10x and 500x your bet is instantly paid and added to the display at the top of the trail.
• Extra Keys: 4 – 10 keys are awarded & instantly added to the trail. Reaching a new threshold will award the random extras before the next respin is played.
• Total Win Multiplier: A random multiplier between x2 to x100 is awarded which will be applied to the total win from the bonus game. Collecting more than one in a feature will see them being multiplied by each other.
• Retrigger: The retrigger will activate once you run out of respins, collecting all curent wins before clearing the grid and restarting the feature with the current win amounts, keys and total win multipliers intact.

Reaching the final spot on the key trail will award a Mystery Multiplier between x2 and x100. Any multiplier already shown in the display on top of the bar will be multiplied by the revealed factor. The trail then clears, ready for you to collect more keys and trigger the various chests and extras again.

The bonus game can be retriggered without limits. It will end only when you run out of respins or the max win of 10,000x your bet is reached. Ending below the max win threshold will see all rocks on the grid being evaluated and added to the win amount in the display to the left (desktop) before the total win multiplier is applied.

Final Verdict

After playing Rock Vegas Mega Hold&Spin for an extended test period, I was left with two choices – run-of-the-mill shelf filler or charming yet volatile slot with decent win potential. The base game is nonchalant to say it bluntly and you will be biding your time to trigger the main event. Once you do enter the bonus game, it usually delivers big wins, mine were anything between 48x to 246x bet. Not too bad. Overall, you will need to progress on the key trail at least once up to the Mystery Multiplier for the feature to become a nailbiter. Hit a retrigger, and mega wins are possible.
