Pirate Chest: Hold and Win Overview

Pirate Chest: Hold and Win is a Playson slot released on 26 January 2023. It plays on 5 reels and 4 rows with 25 paylines, and bets run from 0.20 to 100. According to SlotCatalog, the game has an RTP of 95.66%, medium-high volatility, a hit frequency of 15.46% and a maximum win of 3,589x the bet.

Theme and Symbols

The reels stand on a tropical beach with a pirate ship on the left and treasure barrels on the right, under a big Pirate Chest logo. The card ranks A, K, Q and J are the low symbols. Above them come an anchor, a compass and a parrot, and SlotCatalog also lists a monkey as the top pay symbol. The scarred pirate captain is the Wild and often appears stacked across a whole reel. A black ship with a skull flag is the Scatter, and gold coins carry cash values or jackpot names.

Four Fixed Jackpots

The jackpot boards above the reels show four fixed prizes. At a bet of 1.00 they read:

  • Mini – 20.00 (20x the bet)
  • Minor – 50.00 (50x)
  • Major – 100.00 (100x)
  • Grand – 3,000.00 (3,000x)

Features

SlotCatalog’s review describes the bonus features as follows. A Boost symbol on reel 3 collects the values of all coins in view. Six or more coins, or five coins with a Boost, start the Hold and Win round with three respins that reset whenever a new coin lands. Mini, Minor and Major can appear on coins, and the Grand is paid for filling the whole board. Three ship Scatters award 8 free spins with more coins on the reels, and a random Treasure Chest can drop extra coins to force the Hold and Win round.

Our Demo Spins

At a bet of 1.00, a line of anchors paid 0.40, with a Mini coin and a 5.00 coin already visible on reel 5. On another spin, parrots combined with the stacked captain Wild on reel 3 for 2.40. One spin also showed two ship Scatters and three coins worth 10.00, 5.00 and Minor on reel 1.

Our Take

Pirate Chest: Hold and Win follows Playson’s familiar coin-collecting formula, with clear jackpot boards and plenty of ways into the bonus round. The RTP is on the low side, so it suits players who enjoy chasing the Grand more than steady returns. It was available at each of our six partner casinos when we checked on 28 September 2026.
