Ultra Fortunator: Hold and Win Review

Playson have been around for such a long time that it’s actually quite hard to say anything meaningful about them. They are incredibly experienced, though, and they are capable of putting that experience to good use when they want to. With Ultra Fortunator: Hold and Win, however, they decided to play it rather safe, and this 5x3 slot with 10 paylines won’t surprise any fans of Hold and Win slots. That doesn’t mean that it’s not worth checking out, however. It is, especially if you’re looking for a simple introduction to the popular Hold and Win niche.

To be fair, the slot’s theme won’t impress anyone either, as it’s all about classic symbols like bells, sevens and card suits. The audiovisuals are slick, though, and we do appreciate the fact that the designers did bother enough to make things look modern. It’s all easy on the eyes, but you can’t go in expecting a lot.

Ultra Fortunator: Hold and Win Slot – Reels Screen

The volatility level of Ultra Fortunator: Hold and Win is medium-high, and its hit frequency clocks in at 12.22%.

That’s a fairly low value, so you have to be ready for some losing runs. In any case, the slot’s jackpot stands at 2,157x your bet, and you can enjoy the proceedings for stakes between £0.20 and £100 per spin. Finally, the slot’s theoretical RTP is 95.55%, which is essentially two notches below average.

Ultra Fortunator: Hold and Win Slot Features

The game’s paytable offers a set of 8 pay symbols, which are evenly divided into 4 low pays and 4 high pays. For low pays, there are card suits that all pay the same, which means that you’ll get a 10x payout for a set of five. For high pays, there are dice, BAR symbols, bells and sevens.

Sevens are the most valuable symbols, and they even pay out in sets of just two. Find a five-of-a-kind combination of them to get a neat 100x payout!

There are no Wilds or Scatters in Ultra Fortunator: Hold and Win. The only specials that you can look forward to are Gem Bonus symbols, which trigger and play a role in the slot’s Bonus Game.

Ultra Fortunator: Hold and Win Slot – Bonus Game

In the base game, Gem Bonus symbols can appear only on the middle reel. If you find three of them at once, you’ll trigger the Bonus Game, which is a somewhat unique Hold and Win feature. You’ll get 3 respins to start with as per usual, and each new Gem Bonus symbol that lands will reset your respins tally back to 3.

The triggering Gem Bonus symbols are Sticky, but new standard ones aren’t. Instead, they will pay their values and the values of the triggering symbols upon landing before disappearing from view. The only Sticky symbols are the unique Mystery Gem Bonus symbols, which will reveal their values only at the end of the feature and which can bring you one of the slot’s four fixed jackpots. They are called Mini, Minor, Major and Grand, and they are worth 25x, 50x, 150x and 1,000x your stake, respectively.

Review Summary

At the end of the day, Ultra Fortunator: Hold and Win is a game with both pluses and minuses.

As for the positives, we like its fresh take on the classic Hold and Win feature, and we like how focused it is – if you haven’t played a Hold and Win slot just yet, you might enjoy that focus. On the other hand, there’s nothing here aside from the Hold and Win feature, and the slot’s subpar RTP means that there’s not much value in the package in the long term.

Pros

• Focused experience
• 4 fixed jackpots

Cons

• Subpar 95.55% RTP
• Offers nothing but the Hold and Win feature
• No real theme
