Power Crown: Hold and Win

Power Crown: Hold and Win Overview

Power Crown: Hold and Win is a classic-style slot from Playson, released on 18 January 2024. It sits in the studio’s Hold and Win series and pairs an old-school symbol set with modern extras: five reels, three rows, only 5 paylines, a red 7 wild, diamond bonus symbols with cash values and four fixed jackpots shown above the reels.

Symbols and the 7 Wild

The reels glow purple inside a gold frame, with a crowned “Power Crown” logo and a pile of diamonds on top. The lower symbols are the four card suits – a red heart, a purple spade, a blue club and a green gem – and the higher tier is made of the BAR, a pair of dice and a golden bell.

The red 7 marked WILD substitutes for the regular symbols. In our screenshots it turns up on the middle reels, often two or three at a time, and most of the bigger wins we saw were built around it.

The Four Jackpots

Four jackpot labels sit above the reels. At our bet of 10.00 they read:

• GRAND 50,000 – 5,000x the bet
• MAJOR 1,500 – 150x
• MINOR 500 – 50x
• MINI 250 – 25x

The Grand is exactly the game’s published 5,000x maximum win, so the top jackpot is the ceiling of the whole slot. All six of our screenshots were taken at the same 10.00 stake, so they do not show whether the labels change with the bet.

Our Wins at a 10.00 Bet

With only five lines, every win is easy to follow on the screen:

• 80.00 (8x) – two lines at once: dice on the top row and green gems on the bottom, both completed by 7 wilds on reel 3.
• 70.00 (7x) – blue clubs on three lines, joined by three 7 wilds on reels 2 and 4.
• 50.00 (5x) – green gems with four 7 wilds on reels 3 and 4.
• 40.00 (4x) – two bells and a wild across the bottom row.
• 25.00 (2.5x) – three BARs on the middle line.
• 10.00 (1x) – green gems on an inverted-V line that peaks at a wild on top of reel 3.

Diamonds and the Hold and Win Bonus

The diamonds are the bonus symbols. Each one carries a cash value – one of our screens shows a diamond worth 30.00 (3x) sitting on reel 3 above a winning line. Collecting enough of them starts the Hold and Win round, where the bonus symbols lock in place and the remaining positions get respins, the feature listed by SlotCatalog together with multipliers and a Lock it Link bonus game.

The four jackpot labels above the reels are the prizes that round is built around, with the Grand at the top of the ladder.

Five Lines, Not Twenty-Five

Five paylines is very few for a modern release. The line numbers 1 to 5 are marked on both sides of the reels, and the lines run straight across the three rows plus two diagonal zigzags. The upside is clarity – you can see at a glance why a spin paid; the downside is that fewer combinations land, so the wild and the bonus matter more.

Bet Settings

SlotCatalog lists a range of 0.20 to 100 per spin. The bet is set with the plus and minus buttons at the bottom right, next to the credit and win meters. On the right side of the screen are the green spin button, an autoplay button marked A and a fast-forward button for quicker spins.

Theme and Presentation

The look is a polished take on fruit-machine design: glossy symbols, a deep red and purple background and gold lettering for the jackpots. Lightning flickers behind the reels on some spins, and wins are shown as large gold figures in the middle of the grid.

RTP and Numbers

The listed RTP is 95.74%, and SlotCatalog notes that the game has several RTP versions. The maximum win is 5,000x, the value of the Grand jackpot. No volatility rating is published.

Who It Is For

Power Crown: Hold and Win suits players who like classic symbols and a short, readable set of lines, but still want a jackpot bonus on top. The stacks of 7 wilds keep the base game ticking, and the diamonds are the way to the 5,000x Grand.
