How the Hot to Burn Hold and Spin bonus works

When 5 or more Money symbols appear anywhere on the reels, the Hold and Spin bonus feature is triggered. The diamonds and burning suns remain in place while all other symbols in the grid fade away. 4 free spins are launched with empty spaces and only new Money symbols can land in one of the empty spaces. Each time a Money symbol is placed in an empty space, the free spins counter returns to 4.

Once the free spins are complete, or all positions on the screen are filled, the values in the Money symbols are added together for a high winning potential. If the entire grid is filled with money symbols, the Big Money Wheel bonus feature is triggered.

A large wheel appears on the screen, containing either an empty space or cash rewards, between 10 times and 5,000 times the starting bet. Each time a reward is awarded, the wheel is spun again until it lands on an empty space. The Hold and Spin and Big Money Wheel bonus prizes are added together and added to the player's balance.

Our opinion about Hot to Burn Hold and Spin

With Hot to Burn Hold and Spin, Pragmatic Play surprises us by reviving a classic slot machine. This slot is reminiscent of other creations from the same provider such as Wolf Gold or Pirate Gold Deluxe. Without any specific features in the base game, Hot to Burn Hot and Spin can quickly become boring. Its appeal lies in the Hold and Spin bonus feature with a nice potential payout. However, this can take a long time to be triggered. It is also quite rare to reach the famous Big Money Wheel and thus pocket the big money.
