Lanterns & Lions: Hold & Win Slot Machine

Lanterns & Lions: Hold & Win is played across 5x3 reels Lanterns And Lions features low paying symbols ranging from 9 to King with the highest paying symbols being depicted as traditional Chinese coins and lucky cats. The slot also has a Cai Shen symbol which is wild and can be stacked on reels 2, 3, and 4.

As the name suggests, the main design features lanterns and lions. There's a definitely oriental theme with golden cats, golden turtles, and a regal-looking man in traditional clothing.

In this slot, you can find typical sounds that are associated with East Asia such as magical gongs, stringed instruments and bells in the background making a majestic score.

The 9s, 10s, Js, Qs, and 10s card royals pay the lowest rewards. The stacked Gold Coins, Firecrackers, Turtles, and Golden Cat are high-paying items. 

Cai Shen’s image represents the wild card that replaces all symbols except the Lion scatters and Lantern bonus icons. Meanwhile, the scatters and bonus symbols help to trigger extra features. We show you more about them in the following Lanterns and Lions: Hold and Win slot review segment.

Cai Shen Wilds are triggered when you land 3 Cai Shen Wild symbols vertically on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, and will extend and transform into Stacked Wilds.

This feature offers excitement in the base game and has the potential to deliver players with a much wanted big win.

A random red envelope is credited during the base game and it can reveal an 8x, 88x, 888x, or 8,888x payout. As you may know, this is the highest payout in the game.

The Hold and Win feature can either be awarded via the Dancing Lions Feature Pick or by landing five or more lanterns in the base game. This gives the player three respins, with the lanterns becoming a sticky symbol. Every time they land more, they also become sticky, and the number of respins resets to three. The round is over when the player either fills up the reels or runs out of respins.
