5 Golden Relics: Hold & Win Slot Information

Here in the jungle, you’re surrounded by nothing but tall trees, that is, until you come upon a mysterious relic and find a forgotten temple, filled to the brim with Golden Coins and Jackpots. Accompanying you is your trusted travel companion that will help you during the Free Spins and a jungle-themed soundtrack that hypes you up as the spins pick up. The game can be played on most notepads, mobiles, and desktops. Wins are made by landing 3 or more of the same symbols in adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel.

The lower-paying symbols are 10, J, Q, K, and A. Creating a win with 5 of the same symbols will pay out 2.5X the bet. The higher-paying symbols are a hat, a map, a pistol, and a bag filled with coins. Landing a win with 5 of the same symbols pays out 5X to 25X the bet. You’ll also find a plethora of special symbols on the reels, such as Golden Coins, Scatters, Special Coins, and an Expanded Wild Symbol, but more on these later.

5 Golden Relics: Hold & Win Slot Features

What is the max win in the slot 5 Golden Relics: Hold & Win?

You can win up to 5,110X the bet.

What features are available in the slot 5 Golden Relics: Hold & Win?

The features are Golden Coin Symbols, Relics of Power, Hold & Win, Free Spins, Feature Buy, and Ante Bet (Double Chance).

Golden Coin Symbols

Golden Coin Symbols act as the game's Cash Coins, containing Cash Prize values ranging from 1X to 5X. However, Cash Prizes can only be collected during the Hold & Win feature.

Relics of Power

The Relics of Power sit above the reels, and each comes with its own bonus. When a special coin lands, it gets collected into its respective Relic, which has a chance of triggering the Hold & Win feature with the corresponding Relic Bonus. 

Hold & Win

The Hold & Win feature can be triggered either by the Relics of Power or by landing 6 or more Coin Symbols of any kind in the same spin. You play the bonus game with 3 spins and only Golden Coin and Special Symbols that will lock onto the reels, resetting the spin counter. Each spin, if there is a Special Symbol in place, it will get the bonus of one of the 5 Relics of Power.

Collect = Collects the Cash Prizes of all symbols locked on the reels.

Double = Doubles the Cash Prizes of all symbols locked on the reels, except the Jackpot Symbols.

Restart = At the end of the bonus game, trigger another bonus game.

Mega = Becomes a 2x2 Symbol and receives a Cash Prize with a possible value of 10X, 15X, 20X, 25X, or 50X.

Mystery = Grants one of the Jackpots, ranging from the Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand Jackpots, paying out 25X, 50X, 250X, and 2,500X, respectively.

The feature ends when either the reels are filled or the Spin Counter hits 0, paying out all Cash Prizes.

Free Spins

Landing 3 Scatter Symbols on the same spin will award you the Free Spins feature with 5 initial spins, with chances of retriggering the feature by landing 2 Scatter Symbols, awarding an additional +5 spins. During the Free Spins, a Wild Symbol will take over the entire middle reel with a Multiplier that starts at 1X and increases by each spin, up to a max multiplier of 10X. Golden Coin and Special Coin Symbols cannot land for the duration of this bonus game.

Feature Buy

From the base game, you have the option of instantly triggering the Hold & Win bonus game for a price based on the current bet.

80X = Instantly triggers the Hold & Win bonus game.

Ante Bet (Double Chance)

By using the Ante Bet, you can double your chances of triggering a feature, but at the cost of increasing your current bet by 0.6X the bet.

5 Golden Relics: Hold & Win Slot Conclusion

5 Golden Relics: Hold & Win feels like a new fresh breath of air compared to the many other Hold & Win games we have gotten from Octoplay, even standing out quite a bit compared to the studio's other recent releases, such as Coin Bang Bang: Hold & Win and The Grand Rooster: Hold & Win. While here we have a slot with more features and bonuses, what’s more is that the game just looks better visually, thanks to both a more interesting theme and nicer graphics. But we all know that how a slot game looks and feels isn’t always the most important part, it's a myriad of factors, and one of those is how good the features are and how balanced they feel, so let's take a deeper look.

Starting with the stats, we have a lower-than-average RTP of 95.71%, which is the exact RTP that is seen in many other Octoplay releases, and then an okay max win of 5,110X the bet. While the stats aren’t everything, they do help paint a picture of the game and how balanced it is. If you’re looking for well-paying spins, then we can tell you instantly that they are not found in the base game, as there are no features or bonuses present, as not even Wild Symbols will show up, and Golden Coin Symbols won’t payout. Instead, we have the very volatile Hold & Win feature with 5 different volatile bonuses from the Relics of Power that can help you stack up the wins, award you Jackpots, or just retrigger the bonus game completely. This is where most big wins are found, mainly thanks to the Grand Jackpots worth 2,500X the bet. But that isn’t all, as we also have a Free Spins feature, but sadly it's not that interesting and the only bonus we get is the Multiplier Wild Symbols that take over the 3rd reel, helping you hit consistent wins. If you liked the previous installments in the series, then this game is just what you’ve played before, only it has been turned up to 11, while newcomers can still find a lot of fun and volatile spins, so it’s recommended to check out the game’s demo.

5 Golden Relics: Hold & Win is a slot with volatile bonuses for the titular Hold & Win bonus game, but also hides even more features and bonuses for you to discover.
