Hold and Win slots

37, grouped by mechanic rather than by the name the studio gave it.

On the standard implementation, yes: each new coin restores the counter to its starting value, usually three. Some titles cap the total number of respins regardless, and that cap is in the rules.

It varies by title. Fixed values make the round predictable; drawn values make it swingier. Both are stated in the game rules.

Landing enough special symbols triggers a respin round where those symbols lock in place and each new one resets the spin counter. The round ends when the counter runs out or the grid fills.

Because it converts well: the locked symbols make progress visible, and a near-miss on the grid reads as almost rather than as nothing. Studios license variations under many names.

Set when they land and locked for the round. Some builds add multipliers or upgrade symbols during the respins, and the rules state which.

The distribution is more concentrated: the base game is usually thin and most of the return sits in the feature. That makes sessions feel binary.

Different names for the same family of mechanics. Hold the Spin, Respin, Link and Win and Hold and Win all describe locking symbols with a resetting counter.
