Revolutionary Hold & Win Mechanics

🔄

Respin Reset Feature

Begin with 3 respins. Every coin symbol that lands resets the counter back to 3, keeping the action continuous and building massive win combinations.

💰

Coin symbols display values from 1x to 10x your bet. Each coin adds to your total win during the Hold & Win feature, with values permanently locked in place.

🎯

6-Symbol Trigger

Land 6 or more coin symbols anywhere on the base game reels to trigger Hold & Win. Coins are randomly redistributed across active rows to start the bonus.

How Hold & Win Works in Golden Paw

When 6+ coin symbols appear during base gameplay, the Hold & Win bonus activates immediately. You receive 3 initial respins on a specialized grid where only coin symbols and prize medallions appear.

The triggering coins redistribute randomly across the 4 starting rows. Each new coin that lands resets your respin count to 3, while all coins remain sticky for the entire feature. The bonus concludes when respins reach zero or when all positions fill completely.

Your total win equals the sum of all coin values plus any prize medallions collected. With the grid potentially expanding to 40 positions, the maximum theoretical win reaches 2000x your total bet.

Row Unlock Progression

Golden Paw features a unique expanding reel mechanic tied directly to coin collection:

  • 10 coins collected: Unlock row 5 (25 total positions)
  • 15 coins collected: Unlock row 6 (30 total positions)
  • 20 coins collected: Unlock row 7 (35 total positions)
  • 25 coins collected: Unlock row 8 (40 total positions)

Each unlocked row appears with a visual glow effect and displays the remaining coins needed for the next expansion. This creates escalating excitement as you approach each threshold.

Wild Symbol Mechanics

The genie cat Wild symbol appears framed in ornate gold borders with "Wild" text displayed beneath the character portrait. This symbol substitutes for all standard paying symbols to complete winning combinations.

Wilds appear on all five reels during base gameplay but do NOT substitute for coin symbols or prize medallions. This means Wilds function only for regular symbol wins, keeping the Hold & Win trigger purely coin-dependent.

The Wild does not have independent payout values and only contributes when forming wins with other symbols through the 1024 ways mechanic.

Visual Design & Theme

Golden Paw immerses players in an Arabian Nights fantasy featuring a magical genie cat character. The base game displays a night sky backdrop with crescent moon, palm trees, and silhouetted palace architecture bathed in deep purples and blues.

The Hold & Win feature transitions to a temple interior with scattered gold coins and warm orange lighting. The genie cat mascot, adorned in purple turban with golden medallion and flowing dark blue cape, watches over gameplay from above the reels.

Color-coded prize tiers use distinct hues (green for Mini, pink for Minor, red for Major, purple for Grand) with text labels ensuring accessibility for colorblind players.

Autoplay & Game Settings

Autoplay offers preset rounds: 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1000, or infinite spins. Advanced settings include:

  • Stop on any win
  • Stop when bonus game triggers
  • Stop if single win exceeds custom amount
  • Stop if balance increases by set value
  • Stop if balance decreases by set value

Quick spin mode accelerates reel rotation speed where licensing permits. The spacebar functions as an alternative to clicking the spin button for keyboard accessibility.

1024 Ways Mechanic Explained

Traditional paylines are replaced with 1024 ways to win. Matching symbols must appear on consecutive reels starting from reel 1 moving right, but can occupy any row position.

Example: Landing the same symbol on reel 1 (any row), reel 2 (any row), and reel 3 (any row) creates a 3-of-a-kind win. The symbols don't need vertical alignment.

Multiple ways can trigger simultaneously from a single spin. If you have matching symbols across all 5 reels with multiple instances per reel, the game calculates all valid left-to-right paths and awards the sum total.

Play Responsibly: Golden Paw is a game of chance with certified RNG. The 97.13% RTP represents long-term statistical average across millions of spins. Individual sessions vary significantly. Set deposit limits and never wager more than you can afford to lose. If gambling becomes problematic, seek help from organizations like BeGambleAware or GamCare. Players must be 18+ or meet legal age requirements in their jurisdiction. Malfunction voids all pays and plays.
